http://uot.edu.ly/journals/index.php/ljagric <p>The Libyan Journal of Agricultural Sciences is considered one of the most important publications of the College of Agriculture - University of Tripoli. It is a semi-annual scientific journal. It is supervised by a group of faculty members who form the editorial board of the journal. A decision is issued by the President of the University.</p> <p>The journal accepts refereed scientific research that includes the results of original studies and research in the field of agricultural science and technology, as well as scientific interventions or criticism in response to new publications of books or scientific research published in one of the issues of the journal or other similar journals in the specialty.</p> <p>In addition to the results of refereed research and scientific studies that are presented in scientific conferences and symposiums in their field of competence in accordance with the terms of publication in the journal in the event that a booklet of the proceedings of the conference or symposium is not issued.</p> Faculty Of Agriculture - University of Tripoli en-US The Libyan Journal of Agriculture 1010-3740 http://uot.edu.ly/journals/index.php/ljagric/article/view/1148 <p>The production of Tannour bread involves the use of whole wheat flour that is manually flattened and baked. To enhance its properties, a combination of emulsifiers, namely a mixture of mono and diglycerides (E471) and sodium alginate (E400), were added into the flour at different concentrations between 0.25% and 0.75% of the flour's weight. Research indicates an observable improvement in the rheological, physical, and sensory characteristics of the dough. Furthermore, the inclusion of plant alpha-amylase (α-amylase) at a proportion of 5 - 15 g/100 kg flour also contributed to the reduction of tensile strength required to slice fresh Tannour bread. The optimal outcome was observed with the use of E472 at 0.75%. For stored Tannour bread, E472 at 0.75% and α-amylase at 15 g resulted in the least increase in tensile strength over time. Although the use of E400 improved rheological and physical characteristics, its efficacy was inferior to that of E472 and α-Amylase. Overall, the organoleptic characteristics showed significant enhancement, with the highest improvement observed with the use of E472 and α-Amylase at different levels.</p> <pre id="tw-target-text" class="tw-data-text tw-text-large tw-ta" dir="ltr" data-placeholder="الترجمة" aria-label="النص المترجم" data-ved="2ahUKEwjs6bHd9YyHAxV7UaQEHTdjDa0Q3ewLegQIChAT"><strong><span class="Y2IQFc" lang="en">Previously published in the Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences -<br> Faculty of Agriculture, Bani Walid University</span></strong></pre> Salah Ali Alhebeil Copyright (c) 2024 The Libyan Journal of Agriculture 2024-07-04 2024-07-04 29 1 1 15 http://uot.edu.ly/journals/index.php/ljagric/article/view/1147 <p>This study was aimed to identify some parasitic helminths (nematode and acanthocephalan) infecting <em>Mullus surmuletus</em> from the coast of the city of Al-Khums, Libya, and studying the relationship between the prevalence of some parasitic helminths and the variables of sex, body weight, and body length of <em>M. surmuletus</em>. One hundred and twenty three samples of <em>M. surmuletus</em> were collected randomly from ALkums cost during the period from April 2022 to May 2023. The weight and length of all fish were measured, and each fish was opened up dorso-ventrally. The sex of the examined fish was determined, and parasites were collected. The results revealed that four species of parasitic helminths were detected during the examination, three nematodes sp. (<em>Anisakis</em> sp. larva, <em>Contracaecum</em> sp. larva and <em>Hysterothylacium adecipiens</em>) and one species of Acanthocephalan (<em>Echinorhynchus gadi</em>). The result showed that the most common helminths with the highest infection rate were <em>Anisakis</em> sp. larva at 39.29%, followed by <em>H. adecipiens</em> at 21.05%, Contracaecum sp. larva at 28.58%, and <em>E. gadi</em> at 18.19%, respectively. The results of this study add information about some parasitic helminths that infect fish in the Libyan coast. This information, along with other studies, will contribute to understanding the spread of parasitic helminths and their impact on fish.</p> Abdusalam Saleh Abusdel Milud Alsaid Ali F.
