Abstract This study aimed to investigate the influence of different thermal treatment methods (boiling, steaming) on metabolome and volatilome Brussels sprouts. Targeted, quantitative analysis primary metabolites (amino acids sugars), glucosinolates as well untargeted volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were performed. The composition was affected only by boiling, where loss nutrients observed. G...

Fish fortification with iodine-rich macroalgae (Laminaria digitata) and Selenium-rich yeast is expected to promote nutritional added value of this crucial food item, contributing a healthy balanced diet for consumers. However, it not known if steaming can affect these nutrient levels in fortified fish. The present study evaluates the effect on nutrients contents farmed gilthead seabream (Sparus...

Mobile real-time video streaming for web-casting and video conferencing conforming to the ITU-T H.264 data compression recommendations format is emergent. However, the quality of the video services for typical applications is hard to foreseen and sustain. Qualities of Services (QoS) approaches, such as video frame skipping techniques, are thus attractive to address the problem. Many conventiona...

used for diuretics and tonics. It is also known as a remedy for blood stasis such as arthralgia. Achyranthes genus plants generally contain phytoecdysons, oleanolic acid glycosides, and cytotoxic saponins. In our screening works for novel plant-derived anticancer agents, the methanolic extract of achyranthes roots actually exhibited moderate cytotoxic activity against human hepatoma cells. Most...

BACKGROUND Rhizoma Chuanxiong (RC) is the dried rhizome of Ligusticum chuanxiong Hort., and various types of processed Rhizoma Chuanxiong (PRC) are widely used in China. However, quality assurance and quality control of these processed medicines remain challenging. This study aims to investigate the chemical compositions of various PRC preparations by a high-performance liquid chromatography (H...

Alder wood (Alnus glutinosa L.) was steamed with a saturated steam-air mixture at temperature of t = 95 °C, or steam 115 °C and 135 to obtain pale brown colour, light red-brown colour dark brown-grey colour. Subsequently, samples unsteamed alder were irradiated UV lamp in Xenotest Q-SUN Xe-3-HS after drying order test the stability wood. The change surface evaluated by means measured values on ...

Slow steaming, i.e., the possibility to ship vessels at a significantly slower speed than their nominal one, has been widely studied and implemented improve sustainability of long-haul supply chains. However, create an efficient symbiosis with paradigm synchromodality, evolution slow steaming called smart is introduced. Smart about defining medium execution shipping movements real-time adjustme...

The effects of storage conditions and cooking methods on chlorophyll, glucosinolate (GSL), sulforaphane content in broccoli florets were investigated this study. For the experiment, fresh stored for 2, 4, 6 days at 10, 0 °C with or without 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) treatment. cooked 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 min under three methods, namely, steaming, microwaving, boiling. Results showed that contents al...
