Heat Moisture Modified Rice Flours as Additive in Drilling Fluids

Effect of Heat Moisture Treatment on Functional and Phytochemical Properties of Native and Modified Millet Flours

Millets are one of the oldest foods known to humans and cultivated since time immemorial. Millets are termed as nutricereals since, they are nutritionally superior to major cereals with respect to protein, energy, vitamins and minerals. The functional properties and phytochemical components of native and modified millet flours were studied. The functional characteristics such as water absorptio...

Acid-Modified Wheat Flours

heat transfer of nano-fluids as working fluids of swimming pool heat exchangers

the present experimental study reports on enhancement of heat transfer by addition of nanoparticles to the working fluid of commercial swimming pool heat exchangers under laminar flow condition. three different concentrations of titanium dioxide nanoparticles were added to the water as working fluid of a typical forced convective heat exchanger used to transfer heat to public swimming pools. th...

Modification and Application of a Plant Gum as Eco-Friendly Drilling Fluid Additive

To enhance solubility and the performance of a plant gum (from south peach tree of China, SP gum) as a drilling fluid additive, we explored the potential of Modified SP (MSP) gum by modifying it with epichlorohydrin. The modification conditions, such as the mass ratio of  the crosslinking agent, pH and temperature, were optimized and the results show that 56.40 g/100g mass ratio of the cros...

Properties of Flours and Starches as Affected by Rough Rice Drying Regime

Cereal Chem. 80(1):30–34 Flours and starches from rough rice dried using different treatment combinations of air temperature (T) and relative humidity (RH) were studied to better understand the effect of drying regime on rice functionality. Rough rice from cultivars Bengal and Cypress were dried to a moisture content of 12% by three drying regimes: low temperature (T 20°C, RH 50%), medium tempe...
