For a number of years, due to the compatability of citrus juice and milk, the citrus and dairy farmers looked for a suitable means of processing and packaging citrus juice for distribution by dairy route trucks. With the advent of chilled orange juice, this was ac complished. Cartoned, or chilled orange juice as it is commonly called, is a single strength orange juice, marketed in a waxed fiber...

BACKGROUND Eating more fruits and vegetables adds underconsumed nutrients to diets, reduces the risks for leading causes of illness and death, and helps manage body weight. This report describes trends in the contributions of fruits and vegetables to the diets of children aged 2-18 years. METHODS CDC analyzed 1 day of 24-hour dietary recalls from the National Health and Nutrition Examination ...

This study evaluated the effect of different sweeteners on the sensory profile, acceptance, and drivers of preference of passion fruit juice samples sweetened with sucrose, aspartame, sucralose, stevia, cyclamate/saccharin blend 2:1, and neotame. Sensory profiling was performed by 12 trained assessors using quantitative descriptive analysis (QDA). Acceptance tests (appearance, aroma, flavor, te...

BACKGROUND In a referral population of young children, excessive fruit juice consumption has been reported to be a contributing factor in nonorganic failure to thrive. OBJECTIVE To evaluate, in a population-based sample of healthy children, fruit juice consumption and its effects on growth parameters during early childhood. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. SETTING General primary care health...

Fruit juice-drug interactions involving drug transporters and metabolic enzymes have been studied with various citrus fruit juices. The collective data led us to hypothesize that the modulating activity of citrus fruit juices on cellular transport and metabolic pathways is dependent on the dominant flavonoid pattern and taxonomy of the citrus fruits. This hypothesis has important implications g...

QUESTION Can a multifaceted statewide communications campaign motivate behavior change in low-income Colorado families to limit children's fruit juice consumption and increase children's consumption of tap water to prevent tooth decay? PURPOSE Caries is the most common chronic disease of childhood, affecting 40% of kindergartners and 55% of third graders in Colorado. Frequent consumption of 1...

Synthetic juice clarification was done through spiral wound ultrafiltration (UF) membrane module. Synthetic juice was clarified at two different operating conditions, such as, with and without permeates recycle at turbulent flow regime. The performance of spiral wound ultrafiltration membrane was analyzed during clarification of synthetic juice. Synthetic juice was the mixture of deionized wate...

abstract seed germination is an important phase of plant development during which soil water availability is crucial. salinity can affect seed germination in two ways: 1) change of osmotic potential of available water, 2) toxicity effects. in this experiment, interactive effects of salinity and water deficit on germination criteria of two species of a, littoralis and a. logopoides were studied ...

The application of conductive coatings on ferritic stainless steel can decrease electrical conductivity. Theaim of this research was to investigate the electrical conductivity of cobalt coated AISI 430 ferritic stainlesssteel by pack cementation technique. Coated coupons were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy(SEM). Electrical conductivity of the coated substrates was measured as a fun...

A greenhouse pot test was conducted to study the impacts of replacing mineral fertilizer with organic fertilizers for one full growing period on soil fertility, tomato yield and quality using soils with different tomato planting history. Four types of fertilization regimes were compared: (1) conventional fertilizer with urea, (2) chicken manure compost, (3) vermicompost, and (4) no fertilizer. ...
