OBJECTIVE To determine whether infantile colic (IC) is associated with malabsorption of carbohydrates present in fruit juices. METHODS In this double-blind study, parents of 30 healthy infants (5.1 +/- 0.7 months, 7.4 +/- 1.0 kg, 64 +/- 4 cm) were administered a questionnaire to quantitatively assess IC. Thereafter, they were divided into 2 groups, 16 infants with and 14 without IC. Within ea...

because of the harmful effects of the chemicals on human health and environment, the use of these compounds is recently restricted and it is necessary to use the safe compounds in postharvest technology of fruits and vegetables. in this study, the effect of salicylic acid (sa; at concentrations of 0, 1, and 2 mmol l-1) and aloe vera gel (at concentrations of 25 and 33 %1) application on posthar...

In this study an attempt is made to combine the beneficial effects of probiotics with fruit and vegetables by applying the vacuum impregnation process. Apple cylinders were impregnated either with commercial apple juice containing Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and with whole milk or apple juice containing 10 or 10 cfu/ml of Lactobacillus casei (spp. rhamnosus). Impregnated apple samples contained a...

recently great afford have focused on the production of food and beverages which are rich in phenolic and antioxidant components. the epidemiology investigations have proved that the regular composition of food and beverages are richer in phenolic and antioxidant components can strongly decrease the cardiovascular disease. this was done after the preparation of components such as soymilk mixed ...

SOME years ago during the progress of an inquiry on the production of an antiscorbutically active cider from Bramley's Seedling apples it was observed that the juice expressed from the fruit while retaining a very high proportion of its antiscorbutic activity did not reduce indophenol. At that time the writer held the view that the capacity for reducing this indicator was mainly due to a substa...

This paper presents a review of cactus-pear juice production. Its technological characteristics are considered, as well as the main difficulties in obtaining high-quality juice. Acidity, pigments, aroma, and other components play an important role in the cactus pear juice processing. Betalain and chlorophyll are present in purple and green cactus pear juices, and heat treatment of the juices af...

6 7 8 9 Abstract 10 Cyanogenic glycosides are natural plant toxicants. Action by endogenous plant enzymes 11 can release hydrogen cyanide causing potential toxicity issues for animals including 12 humans. We have quantified amygdalin in seeds from different apple varieties, determined 13 the effects of processing on the amygdalin content of apple juice and quantified amygdalin 14 in commerciall...

Immediate allergic reactions to orange are rare and immunoglobulin (Ig) E–mediated [1]. We report the case of a 28-year-old man with anaphylaxis induced by fresh orange juice. The reaction was dose-dependent and could only be confi rmed by challenge test, because specifi c IgE to orange was undetectable by skin prick test (SPT) and CAP immunoassay. The patient had experienced identical anaphyla...

Alicyclobacillus species are thermo-acidophilic bacteria that produce highly resistant endospores able to survive the processing temperatures of fruit concentrate manufacturing, including evaporation and conventional pasteurisation (86 ° 96 °C for ± 2 min). Alicyclobacillus endospores retain their viability in juice concentrates which, under favourable conditions, could germinate and multiply t...

Objective: Pomegranate juice is inhibitor of CYP450 enzyme system such as CYP2C9 and CYP3A4. The objective of the present study was to determine the consequence of pomegranate fruit juice on the pharmacokinetics of oral hypoglycemic drug nateglinide in rats. Materials and Methods: This is a laboratory study to investigate drug-food interaction effects of Punica granatum fruit juice (3 ml) and ...
