Studies have been carried out to identify the effect of sulfitation treatment sugar-beet processing semi-products on their color when it is at one or several stages, as well in its complete absence. At first stage, influence process extractant and thin juice thick obtained from by evaporation was studied. It established that only provided a decrease 9.21%, while – 55.00%, 58.16%. In addition, a...

EDITORIAL SYNOPSIS The electrophoretic pattern of normal human gastric juice is described. The effect of autodigestion of gastric juice and of the peptic digestion of albumin is described. The fallacies involved in the study of gastric juice proteins where peptic digestion of the protein constituent has not been prevented are emphasized. In this study the gastric juice was neutralized within th...

In the past several years, concern about the presence of arsenic (As) in apple juice has grown greatly due to its publicity in the popular media. Arsenic can enter apple juice either naturally through environmental uptake by the apple trees or anthropogenically through the use of pesticides and/or contamination during processing. Regardless of how it enters the juice, the presence of arsenic is...

Fresh fruit juice is an essential component of human diet and there is considerable evidence of health and nutritional benefits. However, nature of the fruits used in juicing and unhygienic processes in the value chain may cause poor quality of juice. This cross- sectional study was conducted to assess physicochemical characteristics and hygienic practices along the value chain of raw fruit jui...

Reduction of acrylamide formation in potato chips was investigated in relation to ten pretreatments before frying. Potato slices were fried at 170 C for 5 min. Prior to frying, potato slices were soaked in one of the following solutions for 60min : (1) tap water ; (2-4) NaCl solutions (1%, 2% and 3%); (5-7) citric acid solutions (0.5 %, 1 % and 2%); (8) combined solution (NaCl 3% +0.5% citric a...

BACKGROUND This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of different amounts of fertilizers on the polysaccharides of Aloe vera plant. There were four different treatments, viz. T1 = 150% N, T2 = 150% P, T3 = 150% K, and T4 = 150% NPK (50% N + 50% P + 50% K) soil. Crude water-soluble polysaccharides were isolated from the gel juice, skin juice, and flowers of A. vera planted in these so...

CONTEXT Cytological assessment of pancreatic juice is commonly used to diagnose pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma; however, the sensitivity of cytological assessment has been reported to be low. MicroRNAs are small RNAs regulating various cellular processes and have recently been identified as possible markers of malignant diseases including pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. OBJECTIVE The purp...

The color of Concord grape juice produced by concentration before cold-stabilization and detartration (direct-to-concentrate, DTC) was compared to juice produced via cold-stabilization prior to concentration (standard concentrate, SC) and evaluated by several metrics. Using the Boulton copigmentation assay, the majority of the absorbance at 520 nm in bottled SC juice (72%) was due to monomeric ...

Industry data from the low grade end of the factory have been statistically analysed with a view to deriving empirical relationships that could be of assistance in two important areas: (a) evaluation of factory performances and (b) provision of new insights into the significance of operating variables and techniques. Based on the industry data, the best fit equation for evaluating backend perfo...
