Temperature quantitation and mapping of frozen tissue.

Temperature Mapping Using Ultrasound Digital Images

Introduction:  The  success  of  hyperthermia  depends  on  the  accuracy  of  the  temperature  monitoring in the tumor and the surrounding normal tissue. In this study, the temperature changes  were determined by computing the speckle displacement in the ultrasound digital images. Speckle  tracking algorithm was used to compute the displacement.  Materials and Methods: The experiment was perf...

Survey on viability of Streptococcus iniae in frozen rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) following experimental infection

Streptococcus iniae is one of the most important agents that causes high mortality and losses in rainbow trout farms in Iran and the world. These bacteria can affects the consumers and people who deal with aquaculture via affected fish. So, viability of this bacterium in frozen fish and fish product can be useful for health care of consumers. A total of 90 rainbow trout, with average weight of ...

Efficiency of Different Extraction Solvents on Recovery of Histamine from Fresh, Frozen and Canned Fish

Background: Histamine is a food-borne chemical hazard which causes scombroid poisoning. The efficiency of histamine recovery from fish is greatly influenced by selection of an appropriate extraction solvent. Hence, in this study the efficiency of different extraction solvents on recovery of histamine from fresh, frozen and canned fish was evaluated. Methods: Fresh, frozen and canned rainbow tr...

The Use of indirect Immunoperoxidase Assay in Diagnosis of Type A (H9N2) Avian Influenza Virus Antigen on Frozen Tissue Sections

Effects of Statically Electric Fields on Freezing Parameters and Microstructures of Button Mushrooms (Agaricus bisporus)

Background and Objectives: Freezing under statically electric fields is one of the novel freezing methods to improve the quality of frozen products by controlling the nucleation process. The objective of this study was to investigate effects of freezing under electrostatic fields on the freezing parameters and microstructures of frozen button mushrooms. Materials and Methods: Mushroom samples w...
