Aim: We compared original rosehip powder consisting of whole rosehips including seeds, with two different doses of a novel enhanced rosehip powder of rosehips without their seeds, for patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA). Methods: A total of 150 patients with symptomatic knee OA were randomly assigned to original powder (six capsules/day), enhanced powder (six capsules/day) or enhanced powder...

background: the presence of aflatoxin m1 (afm1) andantibiotic residues in milk and milk products is a public healthconcern. milk and milk powder have the potential forintroducing afm1 and antibiotic into human diet. in recentyears, milk powder has been used on a large scale in dairyfactories. consequently, antibiotic residues and aflatoxincontamination control in these products has gained impor...

this study was conducted to compare the effects of diets borage powder and control (no additives diets) on broiler’s average blood cell counts and immune system on the broiler chicks. sixty four male broiler chicks (ross 308) randomly allocated into one of two treatments with four replicates of eight chickens based on a completely randomized block design.  diets were include control (no additiv...

in this research the 2 sub verities of rhizopus oligosporus was used for production of antioxidative bioactive compounds from whey protein concentrate (wpc) and apple pomace. total phenolic compounds, free radical scavenging ability by dpph and antioxidant protection factort were evaluated in 48 determined treatments. effect of incubation temperature in three levels 23, 27, 31°c, incubation tim...

production of fe-c alloy powders by mechanical alloying was studied. fe and graphite elemental powdermixtures containing 0.8 and 1.5wt.% graphite were mechanically alloyed using a planetary ball mill. thestructural changes of powder particles during mechanical alloying were studied by x-ray diffractometery,scanning electron microscopy and microhardness measurements. for both compositions, mecha...

The increasing importance of powdered materials fabrication has led to an increasing emphasis on the understanding of the powder behavior during compaction. During compaction, a powder mass undergoes densification owing to various mechanisms, i.e. sliding, rotation, deformation and/or fracturing of the constituent particles. These densification mechanisms are very dependent upon the powder char...

A colorimetric mixed pH dye-based indicator to real-time monitoring rancidity reaction of infant milk powder formula is described. Milk powder stored in 30, 40, and 50°C was analyzed in terms of peroxide value (PV), moisture content, volatile compounds and sensory score. In addition, moisture sorption isotherms of infant milk powder formula were assessed at various temperatures including 30, 40...

A novel single punch tablet machine was developed for a tiny amount of powder sample. This tablet machine mainly consists of upper and lower punches, single die, and conical powder feeder equipped with micro-vibrators. By using the powder feeder, mass of discharged powder can be maintained constant even if a tiny amount of powder having poor flowability is used. Motions of both upper and lower ...

This study aimed at the assessment, in the laboratory, of the larval settlement and spat recovery rates of oysters of the species Crassostrea brasiliana using plastic collectors, epinephrine (C9H13NO3 C4H6O6) and shell powder in settlement tanks. Polypropylene was used attached to bamboo frames. The material was chosen due to its pliability--that favours the spat detachment. Two experiments wer...

The objective of this study was to determine the physicochemical and sensory properties of cooked emulsion sausages containing different levels of lotus rhizome powder (0, 1, 2, and 3%, based on total weight). Lotus rhizome powder had no significant (p>0.05) impact on pH, moisture, protein, or ash content of sausage. However, fat content was slightly but significantly (p<0.05) decreased when th...
