The demand for functional foods and drinks with health benefit is on the increase. The synergistic effect from mixing two or more of such drinks cannot be overemphasized. This study was carried out to formulate and investigate the effects of blends of two or more of pineapple, orange juices, carrot, and Hibiscus sabdariffa extracts (HSE) on the antioxidant properties of the juice formulations i...

To quantify the emission rate of monoterpenes (MTs) from diverse natural sources, the sorbent tube (ST)-thermal desorption (TD) method was employed to conduct the collection and subsequent detection of MTs by gas chromatography. The calibration of MTs, when made by both mass spectrometric (MS) and flame ionization detector (FID), consistently exhibited high coefficient of determination values (...

Temporal evolution of internal memory states in a terrestrial mollusk, Limax flavus, was studied using cooling-induced retrograde amnesia. The slug was conditioned to avoid carrot odor by temporally correlated presentation of carrot juice and a bitter-taste stimulus of quinidine sulfate. We could induce retrograde amnesia by cooling of the conditioned slug immediately after the training trial. ...

Black carrots and black carrot-derived products have gained great popularity in recent years due to their significant content of health-promoting bioactive compounds. Therefore, this study focuses on the production vinegar from carrot juice (BCJ) derived concentrate (BCJC), attain a food product with nutritional added value. In study, effect alcoholic fermentation by Saccharomyces cerevisiae ac...

Analysis of overnight carrot broth culture using the BD GeneOhm StrepB assay (carrot broth-enhanced PCR) yields increased sensitivity compared to that of carrot broth culture alone for the detection of Streptococcus agalactiae. We investigated the prospect of reducing the carrot broth incubation time prior to PCR performance. In vitro experimentation demonstrated that carrot broth-enhanced PCR ...

introduction: increased awareness of diet-health association has led to the growth of health food industry. deep-fat fried foods such as donuts enjoy wide popularity owing to their taste, distinctive flavor, aroma and crunchy texture. there is, however, a great health concern over large fat content of fried foods. incorporating the dietary fiber such as hydrocolloids into the food substrate in ...

In the present study, carrot juice prepared was added into skimmed milk before fermentation to produce 10% and 20% (w/w) carrot-fortified skim milk. The influence of on lactic acid content, chemical composition, syneresis, texture, rheology property, microstructure evaluated along with a potential as an ingredient rich dietary fiber firm structure interaction protein complex matrix under acidif...
