Ozonation as an alternative to chlorination for soft wheat flours

Chloramination of Building Water Systems as an Alternative to Chlorination

1) Microbial control is inadequate 2) It results in higher proportions of Mycobacterium, Pseudomonas, Acinetobacter and nitrifying bacteria in biofilms 3) It induces the viable-but-nonculturable (VBNC) state in Legionella 4) Higher concentrations of nitrite and nitrate (regulated drinking water contaminants) can occur 5) It degrades to ammonium ion in premise plumbing treatments which can lead ...

Acid-Modified Wheat Flours

Influence of dried tomato pomace as an alternative to wheat bran in maize or wheat based diets, on the performance of laying hens and traits of produced eggs

In a 2  3  2 factorial arrangement, 144, fifty–four-week-old laying hens, in 12 treatments with 12 replicates for each treatment, received one of 12 diets based on maize or wheat containing three levels of dried tomato pomace (DTP: 0, 50 and 100 g/kg) as a substitute for wheat bran, and two levels of pigment (0 and 900 mg/kg), for 9 weeks. Weight gain (WG), egg production (EP), egg weight (EW...

Introducing Fructose Syrup 55% as an Alternative to High Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) Products Such as Invert Sugar

Hydroxy Methyl Furfural (HMF) is a compound that is formed as a result of heat treatment and long storage of sugar products such as invert sugar and according to codex standards its limit in foods is 40 ppm. Fructose syrup 55% is a transparent liquid with a sweet taste and has no off-flavor and has similar sweetness and functional properties to sucrose. Various studies show that due to the prod...

An Overview on Probiotics as an Alternative Strategy for Prevention and Treatment of Human Diseases

Aims: Probiotics are viable and useful microorganisms, which are beneficial factors for human and animal health by altering their microbial flora. Most of the probiotics belong to a large group of bacteria in the human gastrointestinal tract. There are several clinical shreds of evidence that show anti-carcinogenic effects of probiotics through altering digestive enzymes, inhibition of carcinog...
