In this study, the effect of some processing parameters on bulk density, particle density, particle size and some of powder reconstruction properties such as dispersibility, wetability and water solubility index of spray dried barberry (Berberis vulgaris)  juice powders were investigated. A Pilot Spray Dryer (Two- Flow nozzle, counter- current, one cyclone) was employed for the spray drying pro...

BACKGROUND Diabetes mellitus is a common medical problem. There is in fact a growing body of literature on plants used for the treatment of diabetes. Plant materials attracted considerable interest of scientists. In this respect, in the past few years, attempts were made to use natural plant products for the treatment of patients with diabetes. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to investig...

the objective of this study was to investigate dehydration kinetics of barberry (berberis vulgaris l.) at different drying temperatures (60 ºc, 70 ºc, 80 ºc), air velocities (0.3 m s-1, 0.5 m s-1, 1 m s-1) with two types of pretreatment. drying time and colour quality during dehydration were experimentally determined. barberries were dried from the initial moisture content of 73.44% (w.b.) to t...

antioxidant and immunomodulatory effects of anthocyanins are abundant in berberry fruits suggesting that they may have beneficial effects on inflammatory bowel diseases (ibd). the present study was carried out to investigate the anti-colitic effect of berberis vulgaris fruit extract (bfe) compared to berberine chloride (bec) and corticosteroids using an animal model of acetic acid induced exper...

Tick-borne diseases have a complex epidemiology that depends on different ecological communities, associating several species of vertebrate hosts, vectors and pathogens. While most studies in Europe are focused Ixodes ricinus, other may also be involved the transmission or maintenance This is case frontalis, poorly known associated with bird such as blackbirds, thrushes robins, wide distributio...

Lithium electrodeposition is important for lithium metal batteries and presently a safety reliability concern the lithium-ion technology. In literature, many models growth of dendrites can be found strong dependence on deposition rate expected. To elucidate process deposition, operando light microscopy at physical resolution limit was performed rates varying by more than three orders magnitude....
