Abstract This study aimed to prepare a niosomal gel of green tea ( Camellia sinensis ) extract containing catechins, mostly epigallocatechin-3-gallate (ECGC), as potent antioxidant. Niosomes can increase EGCG's stability and penetration into the skin for better therapeutic effect. were prepared by thin-layer hydration method, evaluated their vesicle shape, particle size, polydispersity index, z...

This study was aimed at determining the effect of irradiation of shell eggs on the physiochemical and functional properties of liquid egg white during storage. Color and textural parameters of irradiated liquid egg white after cooking were also determined. Shell eggs were irradiated at 0, 2.5, 5, or 10 kGy using a linear accelerator. Egg white was separated from yolk and stored in at 4°C up to ...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Eggs, an important source of high-quality protein, contain a variety of key nutrients and antioxidants. Here we conducted an intervention study to evaluate whether the additional consumption of one egg per day would affect the daily nutritional intakes and blood antioxidant status in Japanese woman university students. METHODS AND STUDY DESIGN For 4 weeks, the 14 sub...

The transformation of shell eggs into safe liquid, frozen or spray-dried egg white with extended shelf life requires many technological operations that result in modifications to the egg white’s functional properties. During these processes, shear rates underwent by egg white may be responsible for part of the loss of its functional properties. The present study was aimed at measuring the effec...

This study was aimed to find the formulation of composite flours from rice, cassava, and soybean flours, potato starch, and hydrocolloids, and also to find the egg replacer formulation from whey and soybean protein isolate. The composite flours and egg replacer then were used as wheat flour and egg alternatives in cake production, and some physicochemical and functional properties of the treate...

 Gametes were collected by abdominal massage from 15 anesthesized male and female grass carp. In collected sperm samples the following mean spermatological properties were determined: sperm volume 15.64 ± 5.39 mL, sperm motility 81.20 ± 7.61%, motility duration 62.06 ± 19.40s, density 17.88±5.48 x109 mL-1, total density 428.90±302.05 x109, and pH 7.25±0.81. Also egg size (mm) and fecund...

Egg yolk low-density lipoproteins (LDL) and soybean lecithin were evaluated as replacements for egg yolk in extenders used for the cryopreservation of brown-bear spermatozoa. The motility, viability and acrosomal status of post-thawed spermatozoa were analysed, and an egg-yolk extender was used as a control. The total antioxidant capacity of these extenders was tested. Soybean lecithin showed a...

Egg quality is a phenotype of, and can profoundly influence fitness in, both mother and offspring. However, the physiological mechanisms that underlie this maternal effect are poorly understood. Carotenoids are hypothesized to enhance antioxidant activity and immune function, and are responsible for the pigmentation of egg yolk. The proximate basis and consequences of this maternal investment, ...

polyamide 6 has been widely used in food packaging applications and also green tea contains amounts of antioxidant compounds. the aim of this study was investigation of green tea effects on properties of polyamide packaging polymer. polyamide 6 was dissolved in methanol which was saturated with calcium chloride. the active packaging film was produced by incorporation of methanol green tea extra...
