Mango (Mangifera indica) is a tropical fruit with high nutritional value, and mango powder considered convenient ingredient in developing other industrial food products. In production, hydrocolloids could be added to improve the drying operation quality of powder. this study, concentration maltodextrin (6, 7.5, 9, 10.5 %) carrageenan (0.3, 0.6, 0.9, 1.2 pulp was investigated determine behavior ...

Growth performance, forestomach development, and carcass and meat quality of veal calves fed a milk replacer diet (Control) were compared to those obtained from calves fed the same liquid diet plus 250 g x calf(-1) x d(-1) of dried beet pulp or wheat straw. Three groups of 46 Polish Friesian calves, balanced according to initial BW, were assigned to the three dietary treatments in a fattening t...

Ruminant feed evaluation systems use constant minimum requirements of rumen-degradable protein (RDP) and often relate this to apparently degradable organic matter (OM). However, studies with tropical forages indicate that RDP: apparently degraded OM might not be constant across high-fiber diets. This was tested with semi-continuous ruminal cultures (Rusitec) using dried contrasting low-protein ...

Carnauba (Copernicia prunifera (Mill.) H.E. Moore) is a fruit of the Brazilian Caatinga and Cerrado regions. It has good nutritional characteristics, bioactive compounds, antioxidant activity. However, some processing techniques can affect its chemical characteristics. This study aims at evaluating effect freezing freeze-drying on compounds activity carnauba pulp. The pulp was submitted to thre...

Raw cocoa has an astringent, unpleasant taste and flavour, and has to be fermented, dried and roasted in order to obtain the characteristic cocoa flavour and taste. During the fermentation microbial activity outside the cocoa beans induces biochemical and physical changes inside the beans. The process is complex involving activity of several different groups of microorganisms which bring about ...

Pumpkins are very versatile in their uses for cooking. Most parts of the pumpkin are edible, including pulp and the fleshy shell (peel). Three pumpkin cultivars (Cucurbita maxima D.) namely: Kafr El-Battikh-2 (KB), El-Zarka (EZ) and Faraskour (FK), cultivated in Assiut, Egypt were studied for their pectin, beta carotene and tocopherol contents. The pectin content was determined spectrophotometr...

In collaboration with the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology's Department of Defense DNA Registry, the National Institute of Standards and Technology recently evaluated the performance of a short tandem repeat multiplex with dried whole blood stains on four different commercially available identification card matrixes. DNA from 70 stains that had been stored for 19 months at ambient temperatur...

High content of pro-health constituents in fruit and vegetable pomaces has led to their utilization as raw materials food production. They are used mostly dried form, which is microbiologically stable allows storage throughout a longer period. Nevertheless, some these kind still undervalued, among them sugar beet pulp, produced during production large quantities, often posing an environmental t...
