Abstract:

In order to improve the efficiency of biological nitrogen removal, the experiment used the luffa cylindrical sponge carrier sequencing batch biofilm reactor to treat domestic sewage, and it studied the temperature on the removal effect of TN in the sewage in the reactor and the changes of various types of nitrogen. The results showed that the TN treatment rate of the luffa cylindrical sponge carrier SBBR reached the peak at 30 °C, the removal rate was 82.25%, indicating that the luffa cylindrical sponge carrier SBBR is very suitable for the removal of nitrogen from domestic sewage.

Abstract:

Luffa cylindrical sponge and plastic sponge were used as carriers in sequencing batch biofilm reactor (SBBR) for sewage treatment in this paper. The removals of suspended solid (SS), chemical oxygen demand (COD) and NH3-N in sewage were studied. The average removal efficiencies of SS, COD and NH3-N with luffa cylindrical sponge were 96%, 89% and 90%, respectively, while these with plastic sponge were 94%, 83% and 80%, respectively. As a natural, cheap and environment friendly biocarrier, luffa cylindrical sponge was easy to get a biofilm with enriched microbes during the first few days of sewa

Abstract:

SummaryThe structure and development of epidermal hairs of five cucurbitaceous fruits are described. The epidermal hairs are glandular and eglandular. Glandular hair consists of 1–2‐celled foot and a body differentiated into a multicellular stalk and a clavate head. Eglandular hair is cylindrical or filiform and has 1–2‐celled foot and uniseriate multicellular body. The branched glandular hair of Luffa cylindrica is first time reported in the cucurbitaceous fruits.

Abstract:

The strain rate effect of luffa sponge material is an indispensable property for it to be used for acoustic, vibration, and impact energy absorption. Compressive tests at different strain rates on cylindrical column specimens of luffa sponge material were conducted over a wide density ranging from 24 to 64 kg/m3. A photographic technique was applied to measure the section area of the specimen with irregular shape. The mechanical properties of luffa sponge material at various strain rates were obtained based on this measurement. The dynamic data were compared to those of quasi-static experiment

Abstract:

Luffa is a lightweight porous material with excellent biocompatibility and abundant resources. In this paper, three kinds of softening treatment methods, alkali-hydrogen peroxide (Method 1), alkali-acetic acid (Method 2), and alkali-urea (Method 3), were used to soften high-density (HD) cylindrical luffa (CL) mattress-filling materials (MFM). Microscopic observation, mechanical performance testing and other analyses were performed to evaluate the effects of the three kinds of softening methods on the wettability, compression resilience and support performance of CL MFM. The results showed that

Abstract:

Luffa cylindrica (Curcurbitaceae), is a plant whose leaves and fruits (sponge) are employed for the management of pain, inflammation as well as diabetes mellitus. This study investigated the ameliorative effects of Luffa cylindrica sponge on 4-Vinyl Cyclohexene Monoepoxide (VCM)–induced oxidative stress using Drosophila melanogaster model. The Luffa cylindrica sponge was crushed and extracted with 50% ethanol to facilitate ethanolic extract, Luffa cylindrica (LUC). The antioxidant activity of the extract was investigated via 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay. Both genders of Drosophil

Abstract:

Luffa fruit is an underutilized and novel ingredient in North America. To increase the shelf life of luffa fruit, this study evaluated the creation of luffa fruit powder using three different drying temperatures (40 °C, 50 °C, and 60 °C). The objective of this study was to evaluate the sensory properties and acceptability of luffa fruit powder with unfamiliar consumers (those who do not regularly eat luffa fruit). Participants (n = 88) evaluated the luffa fruit powders mixed into couscous, as well as a control (couscous without luffa fruit powder) using check-all-that-apply and hedonic scales.

Abstract:

Enzymatic browning is a major issue that reduces the commercial value of Luffa cylindrica during storage, processing, and transportation. Our results showed that 1% CaCl2 treatment was optimal for reducing the surface browning of fresh-cut luffa. After storage at 25 °C for four days, the treated luffa had a significantly higher total phenolic (TP) content than the untreated luffa. At the end of the storage period, the calcium treatment showed low malondialdehyde (MDA) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) accumulation in the luffa. The treated luffa maintained higher superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalas

Abstract:

Abstract The sound absorption property of polyurethane (PU) foams loaded with natural tea-leaf fibers and luffa cylindrica (LC) has been studied. The results show a significant improvement in the sound absorption property parallel to an increase in the amount of tea-leaf fibers (TLF). Using luffa-cylindrica as a filler material improves sound absorption properties of soft foam at all frequency ranges. Moreover, an increase in the thickness of the sample resulted in an improvement of the sound absorption property. It is pleasing to see that adding tea-leaf fibers and luffa-cylindrica to the pol

Luffa (Luffa cylindrica Roem.) is a popular vegetable in Okinawa, and it has abundant nutrients, including &gamma;-aminobutyric acid (GABA). We focused on GABA content in luffa, taking into consideration registering it as foods with functional claims in Japan. Besides, when selling cut luffa and frozen cut luffa at supermarkets, they are supposed to get browned due to air exposure and other causes. In the present study, we developed the prevention method of browning cut luffa and frozen cut luffa using 0.5 %, 1.0 %, 2.0 %, and 4.0 % ascorbic acid solution. It was found that 55 L of 4.0 % a

Abstract:

Seeds of Luffa cylindrica (Luffa) have been considered as agricultural wastes. However, we hypothesized that the seeds and its sprouts may provide bioactive components that could provide health benefits for humans. The current study profiled the bioactive components in both seeds and sprouts of Luffa by using ultra-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MSn). Apigenin was identified as a major component in the seeds of Luffa, with a concentration of 2.89 mg from 1 g fresh weight. The bioactive components in the sprouts were myricetin, luteolin, and quercetin, with concent

Abstract:

Luffa is a kind of melon crop widely cultivated in temperate regions worldwide. Browning is one of the serious factors affecting the quality of Luffa. Therefore, the molecular mechanism of Luffa browning is of great significance to study. However, the molecular diversity of Luffa cultivars with different browning-resistant abilities has not been well elucidated. In our study, we used high-throughput sequencing to determine the transcriptome of two Luffa cylindrica cultivars ‘2D-2’ and ‘35D-7’. A total of 115,099 unigenes were clustered, of which 22,607 were differentially expression genes (DEG

Abstract:

Luffa is a genus of tropical and subtropical vines in the Cucurbitaceae family, recognized as an important cultivated commercial vegetable. However, the seeds of the luffa species are considered hard-seeded, and the processes governing seed germination remain understudied. The 9-cis-epoxycarotenoid dioxygenase (NCED) genes, which are critical for seed germination, have not been well characterized in Luffa. In this study, we identified four LaNCED genes in Luffa acutangula and four LcNCED genes in Luffa cylindrica, distributed across four chromosomes in each species. Phylogenetic analysis class
