We investigated marinade absorption and physicochemical characteristics of vacuum-aged duck breasts that were halved and individually vacuum-packed for chiller aging at 4°C for 14 d. One half was marinated for 0, 7, or 14 d, while the second half was used as a control. Marinade absorption, cooking loss, cooking yield, texture profile, pH, color, protein solubility, and thiobarbituric acid react...

Five commercial wheat varieties, namely C 306, HI 977, HW 2004, PBW 550 and WH 542 of diverse baking performances were examined for their physicochemical parameters, gluten quality and HMW-GS composition. All the varieties presented a broad spectrum of different quality parameters.Based on the kernel dimensions, thousand kernel weight and hectolitre weight, WH 542 was observed to have smaller a...

Novel mesoporous carbon-tubules were prepared from wild plant leaves of Rubus idaeus (Raspberry) and their physicochemical characteristics were analyzed by spectroscopic and potentiometric titration methods. The developed carbon-tubules were applied for the aqueous phase decontamination of three pharmaceutical drugs. Ibuprofen, naproxen and clofibric acid were selected for the study. Batch and ...

TRAYKOV, I., A. TOSHEVA and E. UZUNOVA, 2010. Physicochemical characteristics of dam lakes in Southwestern Bulgaria. Bulg. J. Agric. Sci., 16: 350-357 The validity of the defined water body types in Bulgaria and the relationships between the nutrient concentration and the response variables to eutrophication was tested in eight reservoirs in the Struma River Basin. The applicability of differen...

This study investigated the physicochemical characteristics of black garlic (BG) after different thermal processing steps. Compared with fresh garlic (FG), the moisture content and pH in BG decreased significantly, while the ash content and browning intensity increased during thermal processing. The total mineral and the free sugar contents were significantly higher than that of the BG2 and BG4...

abstract considering to importance and high genetic diversity of pear (pyrus communis l.) in iran, a study was conducted on the effect of genotype on fruit physicochemical properties and qualitative characteristics of six mature european pear genotypes in teheran, iran environmental conditions. in this study some physicochemical fruit properties and qualitative characteristics such as: fruit le...

BACKGROUND Mosquitoes lay eggs in a wide range of habitats with different physicochemical parameters. Ecological data, including physicochemical factors of oviposition sites, play an important role in integrated vector management. Those data help the managers to make the best decision in controlling the aquatic stages of vectors especially using source reduction. METHODS To study some physico...

To increase the availability to consumers and add more value to persimmon (Diospyros kaki L.), which is a very perishable and seasonal fruit and in order to identify which cultivars grown in subtropical regions are more suitable for processing in the form of juice and jelly, as well as understand what the consumer profile is for these products, the objective of this study was to evaluate the in...

Both the active pharmaceutical ingredient and the vehicle physicochemical characteristics are retained to be the main features responsible for favorable topical bioavailability. Emulsion systems based on natural-origin alkyl polyglucoside (APG) emulsifier (cetearyl glucoside & cetearyl alcohol) present promising vehicles in contemporary pharmaceutical compounding [1], but require further charac...

background and objectives: this study is the first research on the physiochemical characteristics, microbial population and microstructure of poosti cheese over 90-days of ripening. the main difference between poosti cheese and other types of traditional cheese is the skin, which is used for its storage. materials and methods: physicochemical characteristics including moisture, salt, ph, acidit...
