Extrusion cooking was first introduced in food and feed processing in the late 1950s. Since then, the systems involved have grown in popularity, efficiency and flexibility. Extrusion cooking technology is most used for cereal and protein processing in the food industry and is closely related to the pet food and feed sectors. In the last decade, the development of extruders has evolved to yield ...

Impact of three different types of seaweed diets on growth, feed utilization and nutrient digestibility of L. rohita was studied for 120 days. The seaweed diet fed fishes, especially Ulva based diet showed comparatively higher growth and weight increment. Good food conversion ratio, food assimilation efficiency, protein efficiency ratio and better nutrient digestibility were recorded for seawee...

The efficient distribution of fresh produce poses many challenges to enterprises in the fruit and vegetable sector. The exchange of productand processrelated information between actors in this network is crucial for improvement of process efficiency. In this paper we discuss a conceptual organization scheme for RFID-based business information services for improving food safety and increasing ef...

Over the last ten years, the Missoula Food Bank has seen a greater need for its services leading to funding shortfalls. To meet the needs of an increasing number of clients with a limited budget, the Missoula Food Bank must look for ways to modify its operations while increasing efficiency of its services. As the Food Bank budget is used to acquire food and currently also transport it from ware...

The efficient use of grass" By W. F. RAYMOND, The Grassland Research Institute, Hurley, Berks. The output of animal products from grassland depends on the quantity and quality of herbage produced, and on the efficiency of utilization of this herbage by the animal; these factors interact, herbage production being affected by method and intensity of use, and efficiency of utilization by the overa...

conclusions considering the high level of artificial colors found in the samples of this study, preventive measures are essential. results the results showed that several products did not meet the standards. fifty-six out of the 70 (80%) samples examined in the study, namely sunset yellow (60%), tartrazine (57.1%), quinoline yellow (44.28%), azorubine (28.57%), ponceau 4r (8.57%) and allura red...

Recent studies have shown the potential of food waste materials as low cost adsorbents for the removal of heavy metals and toxic elements from wastewater. However, the adsorption experiments have been performed in heterogeneous conditions, consequently it is difficult to compare the efficiency of the individual adsorbents. In this study, the adsorption capacities of 12 food waste materials were...
