It is known that crystalline amylopectin of starch plays a role of resistant starch. Although crystalline amylopectin of starchy food melts almost completely during its heat-processing, the melting may be prevented by a pre-dehydration treatment, because melting temperature of the crystalline amylopectin increases with a decrease in the water content of starch. In order to some insight into the...

scleromyxedema is a rare, chronic, progressive, fibromucinous disorder of unknown etiology, characterized by lichenoid waxy papules and firm induration of skin of trunk, face, forearm and hands; fibroblast proliferation and mucin deposition in the upper dermis. cutaneous involvement is characteristic but there are several associated systemic manifestations: we observed a case of scleromyxedema ...

in this study, the quantity and quality of essential oil (eo) of chamomile cv. ‘bodegold’, moldavian dragonhead cv. ‘szk1’ and fennel cv. ‘soroksari’ were evaluated in shahrekord climate condition in spring 2014, shahrekord university. chamomile’ flowers and dragonhead’ herb were harvested at full flowering stage. fennel’ fruits were harvested at waxy and full-matured stages. the eo content of ...

Variability within eight cpDNA introns including trnS-trnfM, trnL-trnT, trnH-psbA, trnF-trnL, trnD-trnT, trnCrpoB, rps16 and matK, and the nuclear waxy introns was examined in seven species of Capsicum (C. annuum, C. baccatum, C. chinense, C. frutescens, C. pubescens, C. chacoense and C. rhomboideum) in order to evaluate the feasibility of utilizing these loci for DNA barcoding within the C. an...

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) breeding programs are currently developing varieties that are free of amylose (waxy wheat), as well as genetically intermediate (partial waxy) types. Successful introduction of waxy wheat varieties into commerce is predicated on a rapid methodology at the commodity point of sale that can test for the waxy condition. Near-infrared (NIR) reflectance spectroscopy, one ...

A new approach to the forming control using a forming process model of rheological food dough is presented. Manipulative operations of rheological objects can be found in many industrial fields such as food industry and medical product industry. For example, automatic operations of rheological objects such as food dough are eagerly required in food industry. Since food dough deforms during oper...

abstract background: fresh bread has a short shelf life and by considering this matter, its acceptability by consumer dramatically would reduce by increasing the time between baking and consumption. use of frozen dough technology is one of solution for this problem. therefore in this current study the impact of freezing storage and pre-fermentation in sangak frozen dough and its bread was consi...

The anterior maxilla presents a challenging milieu interior for ideal placement of implants because of the compromised bone quality. With the advent of intraoral bone harvesting and augmentation techniques, immediate implant placement into fresh extraction sockets have become more predictable. Immediate implant placement has numerous advantages compared to the delayed procedure including superi...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS The slippery waxy zone in the upper part of pitchers has long been considered the key trapping structure of the Nepenthes carnivorous plants; however, the presence of wax is reported to be variable within and between species of this species-rich genus. This study raises the question of the adaptive significance of the waxy zone and investigates the basis for an ontogenetic c...
