BACKGROUND Fatty acid ethyl esters (FAEEs) are cytotoxic nonoxidative ethanol metabolites produced by esterification of fatty acids and ethanol. FAEEs are detectable in blood up to 24 h after ethanol consumption. The objective of this study was to assess the impact of gender, serum or plasma triglyceride concentration, time and temperature of specimen storage, type of alcoholic beverage ingeste...

This study evaluated, in vitro, the effect of iron (previously exposed with enamel powder or added directly to the beverage) on the erosive potential of carbonated or decarbonated beverage. Four sets of experiments were done. For groups E1 and E3, a solution containing 30 mmol/L FeSO4 was added to bovine enamel powder (particles between 75-106 mm) before exposure to the carbonated or decarbonat...

The purpose of this study was to determine whether branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) supplementation affects aerobic performance, ratings of perceived exertion (RPE), or substrate utilization as compared with an isocaloric, carbohydrate (CHO) beverage or a noncaloric placebo (PLAC) beverage. Nine untrained males performed three 90-minute cycling bouts at 55% VO₂ peak followed by 15-minute time t...

A simple visual ethanol biosensor based on alcohol oxidase (AOX) immobilised onto polyaniline (PANI) film for halal verification of fermented beverage samples is described. This biosensor responds to ethanol via a colour change from green to blue, due to the enzymatic reaction of ethanol that produces acetaldehyde and hydrogen peroxide, when the latter oxidizes the PANI film. The procedure to o...

It is not uncommon for research and quality control samples, including carbonated beverage samples, to be refrigerated or frozen during peak periods of production and/or sampling, when analytical demand exceeds instrumental capacity. However, the effect of sub-ambient temperatures on carbonated beverage composition during storage has not been well characterized. Mid-infrared (MIR) spectroscopy ...

AIMS Mathematical models were created which predict the growth of spoilage bacteria in response to various preservation systems. METHODS AND RESULTS A Box-Behnken design included five variables: pH (2.8, 3.3, 3.8), titratable acidity (0.20%, 0.40%, 0.60%), sugar (8.0, 12.0, 16.0 * Brix), sodium benzoate concentration (100, 225, 350 ppm), and potassium sorbate concentration (100, 225, 350 ppm)...

Fermented Soymilk (FSM), a protein rich beverage is highly prone to microbial contamination. Its preservation therefore key its availability and safety. was prepared by aqueous extraction of soybeans allowed ferment spontaneously. Samples FSM were treated with leaf essential oil Hoslundia opposita (LEOHO) at 5% 10% (v/v) stored ambient temperature. The organoleptic, pH microbiological qualities...

Indonesian Securities 2016-2020. This uses purposive sampling technique. number samples amounted 14 samples, which obtained secondary data using documentation me...

The present study investigates the effect of strawberry antioxidants in beverage form on meal-induced postprandial inflammatory and insulin responses in human subjects. Overweight adults (n 24) consumed a high-carbohydrate, moderate-fat meal (HCFM) accompanied by either a strawberry or a placebo beverage in a cross-over design. Postprandial changes in plasma anthocyanins, their metabolites, ins...

Anthropologic research was conducted among pregnant and lactating women in rural Tanzania in conjunction with clinical trials of a micronutrient-fortified beverage. Use of the beverage was examined through interviews and ethnographic observation in clinics and at home. Women liked the taste of the beverage, considered it beneficial to their health, preferred it to pills or injections, and most ...
