Modeling of Lactose Crystallization and Color Changes in Model Infant Foods

Crystallization in amorphous lactose-maltodextrin mixtures

Solutions of maltodextrins (MD) with the dextrose equivalent (D.E.) 9-12 and D.E. 23-27 were mixed with lactose solutions at different ratios. Freeze-dried amorphous solids of lactose and lactose-MD were prepared from solutions containing 20% total solids. The ratios of lactose and MD were 90:10, 80:20, and 70:30 (w/w). Crystallization rate of amorphous lactose was followed from changes in wate...

On Infant Feeding and Infant Foods

[Fluoride concentrations in typical Brazilian foods and in infant foods].

OBJECTIVE To determine fluoride concentrations in the typical Brazilian meal (rice with beans) and in processed infant foods, and to estimate their contribution towards dental fluorosis. METHODS The foods were purchased at supermarkets in the cities of Piracicaba and Campinas, Southeastern Brazil. The processed infant foods were bought in 2001 and the rice and beans in 2003, and they were ana...

Color Eigenflows: Statistical Modeling of Joint Color Changes

We develop a linear model of commonly observed joint color changes in images due to variation in lighting and certain non-geometric camera parameters. This is done by observing how all of the colors are mapped between two images of the same scene under various “real-world” lighting changes. We represent each instance of such a joint color mapping as a 3-D vector field in RGB color space. We sho...

آب حاصل از بارش منبع تأمین نیازهای بی شمار جانداران به ویژه انسان است و هرگونه کاهش در کم و کیف آن مستقیماً حیات موجودات زنده را تحت تأثیر منفی قرار می دهد. نوسان سال به سال بارش از ویژگی های اساسی و بسیار مهم بارش های سالانه ایران محسوب می شود که آثار زیان بار آن در تمام عرصه های اقتصادی، اجتماعی و حتی سیاسی- امنیتی به نحوی منعکس می شود. چون میزان آب ناشی از بارش یکی از مولفه های اصلی برنامه ...
