Exposure to flavors in the amniotic fluid and mother's milk derived from the maternal diet has been shown to modulate food preferences and neophobia of young animals of several species. Aim of the experiment was to study the effects of pre- and postnatal flavor exposure on behavior of piglets during (re)exposure to this flavor. Furthermore, we investigated whether varying stress levels, caused ...

This research compared off-flavor notes and the relationship of pH and heme-iron content to off-flavor for different beef muscles. After grading, knuckles and shoulder clods were removed from 16 USDA Choice and 14 USDA Select beef carcasses, vacuum-packaged, and aged for 7 d. The rectus femoris (REC), vastus medalis (VAM), vastus lateralis (VAL), teres major (TER), infraspinatus (INF), and tric...

This study aims at to elucidate the nature and chemical component of rancid flavor of oils which are differently oxidized and also to discuss the effect on such rancidities by the different fatty acid composition of oils and by the different extent of the oxidation. The flavors of rancid soybean, corn and olive oil were evaluated by the organoleptic method and the natures of their flavors were ...

interaction of menthol with polyethylene terephthalate bottles during storage time was tested at three different temperatures. menthol is a mint flavor agent added to yogurt drinks in iran and is considered as a factor affecting consumer acceptance. absorption of menthol to packaging material could cause a loss of quality in the final product due to diminished flavor intensity. tests were done ...

Objective: Female metabolism is highly responding towards diet associated changes. Monosodium glutamate is a popular flavor enhancer, which is widely used to develop umami taste. Young female generation nowadays deals with more issues related to metabolism and fertility. Present study is an effort to monitor the effect of monosodium glutamate oral consumption on female mice health and obesity. ...

A single species of staggered fermion represents four degenerate quarks in the continuum limit, but at finite lattice spacing the SU(4) flavor symmetry is broken down to a discrete subgroup[1]. We have found, however, that there is a substantial restoration of the flavor symmetry in the chiral limit, at least in the pion sector [2]. We give here a description of our conclusions and an outline o...

We provide an argument based on flux insertion to show that certain superconductors with a nontrivial topological invariant have protected zero modes in their vortex cores. This argument has the flavor of a two-dimensional index theorem and applies to disordered systems as well. It also provides a new way of understanding the zero modes in the vortex cores of a spinless px+ipy superconductor. A...

We derive Virasoro constraints for the zero momentum part of the QCD-like partition functions in the sector of topological charge ν. The constraints depend on the topological charge only through the combination N f + βν/2 where the value of the Dyson index β is determined by the reality type of the fermions. This duality between flavor and topology is inherited by the small-mass expansion of th...
