AIM To study the effect of weaning biscuits supplementation of the nutritional parameters and cognitive performance of the selected children. METHODS Three primary schools situated in Salem District, Tamilnadu, India were selected. A total number of 150 school children, 61 from primary school I, 46 from primary school II and 43 from primary school III comprised the study sample. About 80 prim...

Study of the baking of biscuits involves among other aspects detailed analysis of colour changes in the product during the process. Previous study has shown the existence of a colour development curve (known as the baking curve) by examining colour development in the RGB and HSI colour spaces. In the current work a diierent approach to extracting the baking curve is presented. Using a Kohonen s...

gas turbines play an important role in supplying power for the country especially in peak electricity load. the main disadvantages are the turbines, they produce large changes are a result of climate change. however, in times of peak electricity grid and at the same time warm months, can produce gas turbines under the effect of ambient temperature, the amount of reduced considerably. the method...

Four different soluble fibres were evaluated as sugar replacers in short dough biscuits: two resistant dextrins (Nutriose® FM06 and Promitor® SGF 70R) inulin-derived (Orafti® HSI Fibruline™ Instant). The degree of polymerisation the was analysed, viscoelastic properties assessed. Weight loss during baking, dimensions, textural properties, surface colour sensory profile evaluated. Higher (e.g. F...

Purpose Hyperglycemic diets are a critical risk factor for diabetes and other chronic diseases; therefore, food innovation is encouraged. In this sense, starchy foods with better postprandial glycemic response (PGR) could contribute to disease prevention consumers. This study aims evaluate the effect of three biscuit formulations on indicators – in general, by sex their acceptability. Design/me...

The ingredients and the preparation methods influence biscuit quality safety. In Iraq, imports are increasing every year, but no information is available in scientific literature on their safety features. This work analyzed three types of biscuits (cookies, crackers, digestives) sampled Basrah markets (Iraq) produced Spain, Iran, Turkey, United Arab Emirates. Nine different brands were consider...

The present paper describes the designing of a thermally and economically optimum mechanical draft counter-flow wet cooling tower. The design model allows the use of a variety of packing materials in the cooling tower toward optimizing heat transfer. Once the optimum packing type is chosen, a compact cooling tower with low fan power consumption is modelled within the known design variables....

The 2002 Biscuit Fire burned through more than 200,000 ha of mixed-conifer/evergreen hardwood forests in southwestern Oregon and northwestern California. The size of the fire and the diversity of conditions through which it burned provided an opportunity to analyze relationships between crown damage and vegetation type, recent fire history, geology, topography, and regional weather conditions o...
