Heterocyclic amines (HCAs) are known mutagens and animal carcinogens produced in meats cooked at high temperature. As pork is the second most frequently consumed meat in the United States, five predominant HCAs [2-amino-3-methylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoline (IQ), 2-amino-3,4-dimethylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoline (MeIQ), 2-amino-3,8-dimethylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoxaline (MeIQx), 2-amino-3,4,8-trimethylimidazo[4...

The aim of this study was to investigate the homogeneity of the traditional dry sausages manufactured in small scale facilities from the Massif Central region in France by taking into account the diversity of the production in this area. The homogeneity was estimated by analysis of the physicochemical parameters of 6 types of traditional dry sausages chosen as representatives of the production ...

This study investigates the effect of bovine heart surimi-like material (BHSM) used as a back fat replacer, on the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of frankfurter-type sausages. Frankfurter-type sausage with added BHSM had a higher moisture content and lower fat content than the control. In addition, the samples with added BHSM had higher pH, cooking loss and 2-thiobarbituric acid-re...

Microfluidic devices composed of glass capillaries were used for generation of double emulsion droplets with photocurable shell phase. The cores of the emulsion droplets were aqueous suspension of higly charged polystyrene (PS) particles which readily form the crystals by repulsive interparticle potential. The shells of double emulsion droplets were solidified downstream and formed the polymeri...

Resonantly damped surface type quasi-modes are computed as eigenmodes of the linear dissipative MHD equations for a simple equilibrium model of a current sheet. The current sheet is modeled by a nonuniform plasma layer embedded in a uniform plasma environment. The physical equilibrium variables change in a continuous way in the nonuniform plasma layer. In particular, this is the case with both ...

Ointments containing paromomycin (PA) have been used for topical treatment of cutaneous leishmaniasis. Although influence of the vehicle on skin permeation is crucial for optimization of formulations containing PA, this aspect has not been investigated experimentally. In this study, we have evaluated the influence of the formulation type [oil-in-water (o/w), water-in-oil-in-water (w/o/w) emulsi...

Abstract The need for road infrastructure continues to increase affecting the of hot asphalt mixtures. Hot requires a lot energy use because it goes through heating process, so Cold Emulsion Asphalt Mixture (CAEM) is widely studied be an eco-friendly alternative This study used type mixture IV with 4 types emulsified asphalt, which are Cationic Slow Setting-1 hard (CSS-1h), Medium Setting-2 (CM...

Water-in-diesel emulsion (WiDE) is an alternative fuel for CI engines that can be employed with the existing engine setup with no additional engine retrofitting. It has benefits of simultaneous reduction of both NO x and particulate matters in addition to its impact in the combustion efficiency improvement, although this needs further investigation. This review paper addresses the type of emuls...
