Burkholderia pseudomallei (Bp), the causative agent of melioidosis, is unevenly distributed in the complex soil environment. Physicochemical factors in the soil have been reported to affect microbial communities in the soil. The effect of physicochemical factors on the number and diversity of organisms in the soil has not been reported. Twenty-five each B. pseudomallei-positive and -negative so...

Fresh juices rich in health and nutritional benefits are valued for their fresh flavor, taste, and aroma. These juices' quality however is affected by factors like temperature, light, and microbiological contamination significantly changing physicochemical parameters and storage stability. Physicochemical and microbiological analyses of passion fruit, pineapple, and mango juices in dark and lig...

Stevia is a natural, non-nutritive sweetener can replace sugar in your diet to control diabetes and aid in weight loss. Naanberenji, an Iranian traditional cookie, is a well-reputed confectionary containing high sucrose and calorie value, for this reason its consumption in healthy diet has been restricted. In this study, the effect of sucrose replacement by stevioside-maltodextrin mixture on ph...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Certain indigenous fish can play potential role in vector control. The study recorded distribution of Aphanius dispar (Rüppell) in its native habitats in Gujarat, India and evaluated its larval propensity for Indian mosquito vectors. METHODS Fishes were surveyed in various districts of Gujarat and samples were collected from coastal habitats and were identified to spec...

The hydrolysed vegetable proteins are acidic or enzymatic hydrolytic product of proteins derived from various sources such as milk, meat or vegetables. The current study was designed to evaluate the impact of biofield energy treatment on the various physicochemical and spectra properties of Hi Veg acid hydrolysate i.e. a hydrolysed vegetable protein. The Hi Veg acid hydrolysate sample was divid...

the present study aims to have a comparative study of the results, from biological monitoring as well as conventional method, based on physico-chemical variables. water quality index (wqi) and planktonic diatom metrics have been used to determine water quality and ecological conditions of the dong nai river (dnr) and canonical correspondence analysis (cca) to find out the main environmental var...

background and objectives: this study is the first research on the physiochemical characteristics, microbial population and microstructure of poosti cheese over 90-days of ripening. the main difference between poosti cheese and other types of traditional cheese is the skin, which is used for its storage. materials and methods: physicochemical characteristics including moisture, salt, ph, acidit...

serious concerns have been expressed about potential health risks of nano silver containing consumer products (agnps) therefore regulatory health risk assessment on such nanoparticles has become mandatory for the safe use of agnpsinbiomedicalproducts with special concerns to the mutagenic potentials. in this study, we examined the inhibitory and mutagenicity effects of agnps in three different ...

shampoos are products which remove surface grease and dirt from the hair shaft and scalp. the cleansing or detergent action of a shampoo is a primary function. however, the foaming characteristic of a shampoo has an important role in its acceptability. often alkanolamides are used for the formation of a stable foam; but because of producing nitrosamines, they are potentially carcinogenic compou...
