We demonstrate the successful application of X-ray Speckle Visibility Spectroscopy (XSVS) experiments to study dynamics radiation sensitive, biological samples with unprecedentedly small doses 45 Gy and below. Using XSVS, we track casein micelles in native, concentrated, acidified solution conditions, while substantially reducing deposited dose as compared alternative techniques like sequential...

The chapter on the feeding of infants will have an appeal in this country of difficult feeding. The use of acidified milks in the feeding of certain types of marasmic babies is advocated and the method described. This method has been tried and found of great value in India, and it is to be hoped that for suitable subjects it may replace the routine and often illogical use of sodium citrate. We ...

doogh- the popular iranian drink- is a product of lactic fermentation of milk and its dry matter standardized by dilution of yoghurt (following fermentation) or milk (prior to fermentation). one of the basic problems occurring during its storage is serum separation. optimum consistency accompanied by no separation of serum during storage are two desirable characteristics looked for. high methox...

“Plant-based beverages,” “plant-based milk” and “milk alternatives” are terms commonly used to refer drinks made from plants, such as legumes, cereals, pseudocereals, nuts. This study aimed evaluate the perception consumption of nut-based beverages by Brazilian consumers. An online questionnaire was prepared with socioeconomic questions disseminated in digital media following established ethica...

Soft drink and fast food are energy dense foodstuffs that are heavily marketed to adolescents, and are likely to be important in terms of risk of obesity. This study sought to examine the influences on soft drink and fast food consumption among adolescents as part of a cross-sectional survey of 2,719 adolescents (aged 11-16) from 93 randomly selected schools in New South Wales, Australia. Stude...

BACKGROUND Fragility fractures associated with osteoporosis extract a large financial and personal toll on society. Pharmaceutical or dietary calcium intake is needed to increase bone mineral density to prevent fragility fractures. Although dairy products are a good source of calcium, patients who are unable to digest lactose tend to avoid them and are put at a greater risk for fracture than th...

Ageing women may choose to drink soya milk to reduce menopausal symptoms. As fermentation enriches soya milk with isoflavone aglycones, its beneficial qualities may improve. To reduce osteoporotic risk, however, soya milk must be Ca enriched, and it is not known how fermentation affects Ca bioavailability. A randomised crossover pilot study was undertaken to compare the Ca absorption of fortifi...

A simplified, simultaneous determination of vitamins B1, B2, B3, and B6 in supplemented infant formulas was developed from a single deproteinized sample extract, with analysis by reversed-phase, ion-pair chromatography with an acidified methanol-water mobile phase. The dioctylsulfosuccinate counter-ion facilitates unique retention of the pyridine-based vitamins (niacinamide and pyridoxine) and ...

BACKGROUND Milk protein, in particular the whey fraction, has been shown to display insulinotrophic properties in healthy persons and persons with type 2 diabetes. In parallel to the hyperinsulinemia, a pronounced postprandial rise of certain amino acids and of glucose-dependent insulinotrophic polypeptide (GIP) was observed in plasma. OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to determine to ...
