Bell pepper (Capsicum annum L.) is a vegetable known for its antioxidant content, highly important for its nutritional values. The total antioxidant activity (TAA) of pepper fruits is measured by TEAC (Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity). This assay measures both the hydrophilic (HAA) (vitamin C) and lipophilic (LAA)(carotenoids and vitamin E) contents based on the total radical scavenging capacity and the ability of a scaverenge the stable ABTS radical (ABTS + ) described by Vinocur and Rodov (2006).
Sowing date: The factor of yield and quality of fenugreek seed (Trigonella foenum graecum L.)

Medicinal Plants Research Institute “Dr Josif Pančić”, Belgrade (2)
Results of a two-year investigation (2005 and 2006) for the yield and quality of fenugreek seed (Trigonella foenum graecum L.) obtained on the location in South Banat (around Pančevo) on marsh dark soil are presented in the paper. Fenugreek seed used in this investigation was produced in the collection of the Institute of Medicinal Plant Research "Dr Josif Pančić" in Pančevo. The effect of sowing date on yield (kg/ha) and quality of fenugreek seed (germination energy and total germination) were investigated.
Dietary chocolate colors during their storage up to 1 year
Faculty of Agriculture, Belgrade-Zemun (1,2)
In this work color quality characteristics of the upper surfaces of commercial dietary chocolates of different manufacturers were investigated. Color was determined instrumentally, using the three stimulus colorimeter "MINOLTA" Chroma meter CR 400. Results were expressed in CIE, CIELab and Hünter systems, immediately after the production (0 - 30 days and after 90, 180, 270 and 360 days of keeping in storage at the temperature of 15°C. Whitening Index (WI) was also calculated.

Medicinal Plants Research “Dr Josif Pančić”, Belgrade (2)
Beside its multiple use in oil producing and feed industry, flax seed is used also in pharmaceutical industry as additional medicinal component, whether as mono component or in tea mixtures. Results of a two-year cultivation of several flax genotypes are analyzed. The highest yield of seed in both study years was achieved in genotype "Z" and the lowest in standard cultivar "Mira". In regard to germination energy and total germination, the best value was determined for genotype "B" and the lowest for standard cultivar "Mira".
