PURPOSE We aimed to examine the effect of gum chewing after laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery. METHODS We reviewed the medical records of patients who underwent laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery in Incheon St. Mary's Hospital, The Catholic University of Korea School of Medicine. We divided the patients into 2 groups: group A consisted of 67 patients who did not chew gum; group B con...

The article is devoted to the study of influence technological factors on change in structural and mechanical properties protracted aerated candy masses based whey proteins. combined protein hydrocolloid systems formation whipped “soft nougatines” type with increased aggregative stability was determined. It has been established that use gelatin-gum arabic structurant composition improves protei...

Two experiments examined whether chewing spearmint gum can affect the initial learning or subsequent recall of a word list. Comparing those participants in Experiment 1 who chewed gum at the learning or the recall phases showed that chewing gum at initial learning was associated with superior recall. In addition, chewing gum led to context-dependent effects as a switch between gum and no gum (o...

To assess mutans streptococci (MS) during xylitol gum chewing (mean 3.8 g/day, 2.9 times/day) for 13 months and then for 15 months after the intervention, Japanese mothers with high salivary MS were randomized into two groups: xylitol gum (n = 56) and no gum (n = 51). The proportion of low MS levels was highest at 3 months of consumption (48.8%), but was significantly lower compared to baseline...

The tremendous mounting interest in lipase production is pertinent to the biotechnological applications that these enzymes offer. Lipase, belonging to the hydrolyze enzymes, is involved in copious biological functions including: hydrolysis insoluble triacylglycerol to mono and diacylglycerols and glycerol. Submerge fermentation technique was applied for the efficient production of this. Briefly...

The impact of natural emulsifier type on the fabrication, stability, and release attributes water-in-oil-in-water (W/O/W) emulsions prepared with a high-shear mixer were investigated: gum arabic, high-methoxy pectin, whey protein isolate (WPI), soy (SPI). At 1 wt%, all emulsifiers produced W/O/W similar mean droplet diameters (d32 = 23–25 ?m). However, less pectin was required to form small dro...

The most widely-used wall materials for spray-dried microencapsulation have limitations in cost-effectiveness, health benefits and sustainability. Wood hemicelluloses, by-products of the forestry industry, including galactoglucomannans glucuronoxylans potential to be utilized as innovative materials. This study investigated applicability galactoglucomannan glucuronoxylan their mixtures with car...
