The Japanese weatherloaeh (Misgmnus anguillicaudatus Cantor) can exchange gases both with water, via gills and skin, and with air, via the posterior region of the alimentary canal (intestine). Air breathing occurs by unidirectional ventilation of the alimentary canal with air taken in at the mouth and simultaneous expulsion of intestinal gas from the vent. Although the weatherloaeh is not an ob...

The aim of this study was to preserve the quality and prevent colour, lipid protein oxidation in chicken breast fillet (pectoralis major muscle) during storage. For purpose, modified atmospheres (MA) with four different gas mixtures (vol. %) oxygen (O2 ), carbon dioxide (CO2 ) nitrogen (N2 were used: free (0: 20: 80), low (20: 60), medium (40: 40), high MA (70: 10). After 9 days storage a refri...

Fish Protein Concentrate (FPC) is a healthy, sustainable and high nutritive product that produced from fish and protein and other nutrients are more concentrated than in the fresh fish. The aim of this research is to study the sustainability of FPC produced from Kilka (combination of three Caspian Sea Kilka species, Clupeonella engrauliformis, C. grimmi and C. cultriventris which were not ident...

The main topic of this paper is a focus on some non-conventional tools to preserve the microbiological and physico-chemical quality of fresh-cut fruits and vegetables. The quality of fresh-cut foods is the result of a complex equilibrium involving surface microbiota, storage temperature, gas in the headspace and the use of antimicrobials. This paper proposes a short overview of some non-convent...

Using the Gaussian 2003 software and MP2 /6 – 311+ G method for the C2H4 : O2, CO:Cl2 andCO2:CO2 pairs and MP2/6-311++G** method for the CO2:H2O pair and B3lyp/6-31G methodfor the O2:O2 pair the optimized interaction energies between two considered pair molecules ofstudied gases(C2H4:O2, CO:Cl2, CO2:H2O, O2:O2 and CO2:CO2 pairs) as a function of thedistances between the centers of two considere...

introduction:pistachio (pistaciavera l.) is a tasty nuts and a good source of nutrients. during the last decade, the worldwide trades of pistachio have increasing trend, likely reflecting on the increase in consumers demand for this nuts. the high oil and essential fatty acid contents of the pistachio kernel is important from a nutritional point of view. however, high unsaturated fatty acids co...

This paper reports the three-phase (gas + liquid + hydrate) equilibrium pressure versus temperature data for a (O3 + O2 + CO2 + H2O) system for developing the hydrate-based technology to preserve ozone, a chemically unstable substance, for various industrial, medical and consumer uses. These data cover the temperature range from 272 K to 277 K, corresponding to pressures from 1.6 MPa to 3.1 MPa...
