In this study, the effects of grape seed flour on the physical-chemical properties, microbiological and sensory properties of Turkish dry fermented sausage, sucuk, was investigated. After the sausages produced with beef, beef fat, sheep tail fat and spices, they were ripened for 14 d. Then they were vacuum-packaged and stored for 80 d at 4℃. The effects of grape seed flour (GSF; 0%, 0.75%, 1.5%...

statement of problem: acrylic teeth of dentures are prone to discoloration due to frequent exposure to different colouring solutions in the oral environment. thus, in order to maintain their aesthetic appearance, they must possess high colour stability while exposed to colorant solutions. objectives: to compare the colour stability of three different brands of acrylic teeth following immersion ...

Many animals display complex colour patterns that comprise several adjacent, often contrasting colour patches. Combining patches of complementary colours increases the overall conspicuousness of the complex pattern, enhancing signal detection. Therefore, selection for conspicuousness may act not only on the design of single colour patches, but also on their combination. Contrasting long- and sh...

in this study, physicochemical and organoleptical properties of muffin cake prepared by substitution of egg white with different levels of whey protein concentrate (wpc) and different levels of guar and xanthan gums in the furmolation were evaluated.wpc at three levels ;25 , 50 and 75 % , guar gum at two levels ; 0.1 and 0.3 % , and xanthan gum at two levels ; 0.1 and 0.15 % , were considered a...

carotenoids are the main pigments of tomato, of which 93% is lycopene. lycopene has desirable physiological effects in human sush as cancer prevention. recent years, because of harmful side effects of synthetic colouring agents used in food products, employing of natural food colouring agents has become very important. in this research firstly, solvent extraction method was used for tomato caro...

MANY properties of proteins have been ascribed to adsorption phenomena and surface effects-grouped under the name of colloidal properties. Loeb [1922] and others have shown that many properties of proteins may be explained by the orthodox laws of chemical combination. In this paper an attempt is made to explain the effect of proteins on phthalein dyes as a chemical phenomenon. The interesting o...

in this study, potential application of image texture analysis as a non-destructive method for automation and prediction of mechanical properties of carrot chips was investigated. samples were fried at different processing conditions and moisture content, colour parameters (i.e. l*, a*, b* and e) and mechanical properties (i.e. hardness and apparent modulus) were determined. hardness and appar...
