Pectin derived from plant waste sources is currently focused as an economical and eco-friendly approach. Optimization of pectin extraction from muskmelon peel by response surface methodology (RSM) was investigated in this study. Box-Behnken Design (BBD) was used to identify the optimal level of the extraction variables such as time, pH and temperature. A second-order model equation for pectin e...

Ice cream contains high sugar content and therefore it is in contradiction with the concept of healthy diet. The objective of this study is to determine the suitability of using stevia as an alternative natural sweetener in making ice cream. Inhouse ice cream formulation (as the control) and three different concentrations of stevia ice cream formulations of (A, B and C) were used. Physical prop...

Gas hydrate slurries, which are prepared using solid hydrates and water, effective secondary refrigerants with a high latent heat of fusion could be used to reduce global warming. The application these slurries requires knowledge their flow characteristics in good poor states. In the present work, properties R-134a R-32 gas circulating loop tube were investigated Rabinowitsch–Mooney equation es...

The effects of milling energy (0.26–4.08 kJ/g) on starch structure, flow behavior and syneresis dispersions (4–8% w/v) were investigated. Crystallinity loss (XRD analysis) during could be mathematically related with the increase 1047 cm?1/1022 cm?1 FT-IR intensity ratio (Ri) it was also reflected by changes in shape surface roughness granules (SEM micrographs). Starch showed a Newtonian or pseu...

The aim of this study was to investigate the rheological behavior and mucoadhesive nature of saliva substitutes, by incorporating various mucoadhesive polymers into an artificial saliva pump spray formulation. For this purpose various mucoadhesive polymers including cellulosic polymers in the range of 0.1-1.0% and Carbomers such as C974p, C971, C934p and C971 in the range of 0.01-0.1% were adde...
