OBJECTIVE This study was performed to determine effects of different curing salts on the quality of salamis and to assess feasibility of using NaCl-alternative salts. METHODS Various types of curing salts (KCl or MgCl2) as well as NaCl (sun-dried or refined) were incorporated for processing of salamis. The proximate composition, fatty acids, nucleotide-related compounds, and free amino acids ...

distribution of magnetic fields in the quiet-sun internetwork areas has been affected by weak polarization (in particular stokes q and u) signals. to improve the signal-to-noise ratio (snr) of the weak polarization signals, several approaches, including temporal integrations, have been proposed in the literature. in this study, we aim to investigate a proper temporal-integration time with which...

Uraria crinita is widely used as a popular folk drink; however, little is known about how the post-harvest operations affect the chemical composition and bioactivity of UC. We assessed three drying methods (Oven-drying, Air-drying, Sun-drying), as well as the Oven-drying temperature using metabolomics approaches and bioactivity assays. The samples processed at 40 degree show a greater effect on...

The experiments were carried out to study the kinetics of mentha oil extraction from mentha leaves (Mentha arvensis L.) and the quality analysis was carried out for the oil extracted. The oil was extracted from mentha leaves at three different moisture contents of 74.30 per cent (fresh leaves), 42.30 per cent (shade dried) and 19.35 per cent (sun dried) using hydro distillation method. Various ...

Using photographs and testimonials, we will analyze details of the “miracle spinning sun” on October 13, 1917, at solar noon near Fatima. The phenomenon predicted ahead time, occurred as clouds cleared what began a rainy day. Various explanations have been presented but do not stand up to comparative analysis eyewitnesses (up 35 km away), weather data, photographs. This article aims bring clari...

This study aims to evaluate the effects of solvents extraction and drying methods on selected fucoxanthin content in Sargassum polycystum that was collected from Blue Lagoon, Port Dickson Malaysia. Two different were used this study, i.e sun-drying air-drying. Acetone, methanol ethanol as extract S. polycystum. The results showed both had a statistically significant effect (p < 0.05) Among thre...
