Undernutrition constitutes a public health problem particularly in developing countries. The utilization of algae, particularly Spirulina, as a functional food was suggested decades ago due to the fact that it is not only a protein-dense food source, but because its amino acid profile is considered as of high biologic-value protein content. Spirulina provides essential fats (e.g., gamma-linolen...

spaghetti samples were prepared by replacing wheat flour with defatted soy flour (dsf) at 0, 10, and 20% levels (w/w). each sample had 4% gluten. in addition, xanthan gum was added at three levels (0.0, 0.2, and 0.4%) to spaghetti dough containing 20% soy flour as a modifying agent. samples were extruded at 35 or 50oc and dried at, respectively, 52oc for 21h or 72oc for 6 hours. the color, prot...

Achieving dependability in large scale infrastructure systems always requires making intelligent tradeoffs. This paper proposes QAPSL, a systematic approach to making such tradeoffs with regards to application state management. We identify Quality, Availability, Performance, Security, and Lifetime as a set of fundamental state properties that can be traded against each other. We then describe a...

The fundamental aim of this paper is to position the opportunities and challenges for adopting Named Data Networking (NDN) in the specific context of military coalition operations and tactical networks. The characteristic properties of tactical networks include high dynamics in multiple dimensions: bandwidth, network congestion, frequent topological changes, geographical mobility of assets, as ...

assessment of soil quality is one of the most useful tools for evaluation the soil management condition and different land uses. quantity indices of soil quality are most suitable methods for determination and comparison of soils quality. in this study soil quality indices and selection methods of effective soil properties were compared for evaluating the soil quality in different land uses. se...

Dried carrot pomace (DCP) may be used as a thickening, coloring agent and also a carotenoid-fiber enriched component in food products formulations. The main objective of this study to investigate the effect of DCP from juice industries waste material on the physicochemical, rheological, nutritional properties of ketchup by partial replacement (0.7-3.5%) of tomato paste and the carboxy methyl ce...

objective: the aim of this experiment was to determine chemical composition, protein quality of corn gluten meal (cgm) and its effect on growth performance of broiler chicks. methods: chemical composition and nitrogen corrected true metabolizable energy of cgm was determined by standard and precision-fed cockerel assay methods.  for evaluating of protein quality, 90 male broiler chicks in a com...

Quality changes of protein and non-protein nitrogen compounds during industrial fishmeal processing fatty pelagic species (mackerel/herring rest material blend, MHB) lean fish (whole blue whiting, BW) were studied to identify steps that require optimization allow production products for human consumption. Samples from protein-rich streams throughout the analyzed proximate composition, salt solu...
