The dielectric heating of seeds can e.g. B. for thermal pre-treatment before processing. This leads to a rapid increase in temperature in the material to be dried, which can lead to microstructural changes in the seeds and inactivation of lipid-splitting enzymes. The present study was carried out to investigate the influence of dielectric heating using microwave and high-frequency waves as a function of duration and temperature on qualitative characteristics of rapeseed and two varieties of sunflower seeds with different fatty...

Ectomycorrhiza Paxillus involutus (two strains: Maj and Nau) were used to synthesize mycorrhiza with Populus canescens in an axenic culture.
