The study was conducted to evaluate the quality characteristics of cookies produced from sweet potato-fermented soybean flour. Cookies were subjected to proximate and sensory analysis to determine the acceptability of the product. Protein, fat and ash increased as the proportion of soybean flour increased, ranging from 13.8-21.7, 1.22-5.25 and 2.20-2.57 respectively. The crude fibre content was...

The flavour profiles of two genotypes of Charentais cantaloupe melons (medium shelf-life and long shelf-life), harvested at two distinct maturities (immature and mature fruit), were investigated. Dynamic headspace extraction (DHE), solid-phase extraction (SPE), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and gas chromatography-olfactometry/mass spectrometry (GC-O/MS) were used to determine vol...

BACKGROUND Oral malodor affects a large section of population. Traditional Indian folk remedy, oil pulling not only reduces it but can also bring down the cost of treatment. AIMS To compare the efficacy of oil pulling and chlorhexidine in reducing oral malodor and microbes. MATERIALS AND METHODS Three week randomized controlled trial was conducted among 60 students of three hostels of Mahar...

A highly significant effect (p<0.05) of storage period on physico-chemical characteristics and sensory parameters of Apricot fruit produced in Rawalakot areas of Azad Jammu and Kashmir was investigated at ambient temperature (Relative humidity 60-63% and temperature 28-30 C). The physicoo chemical characteristics such as weight loss, total soluble solids, titratable acidity, ascorbic acid and s...

Understanding consumer perception of the organoleptic qualities of a food product in terms of rheological properties is a major challenge for food scientists, and has been studied for a long time. As early as 1962 Szczesniak and Farkas (1962) reported a relationship between the mouthfeel of thickened solutions and their rheological behaviour. In this work, thickeners were categorised based on p...

Associations between oral malodor, measures of periodontal disease, and trypsin-like activity of periodontal pathogens on tongue and teeth were examined in 127 subjects. Volatile sulphur compound (VSC) measurements were made with a portable sulphide monitor; oral malodor was also estimated by organoleptic methods. Measurements repeated one week apart indicated that steady-state VSC levels (r = ...

The effect of the nutritional value red rice tape is mainly different in fiber and antioxidant content, with sticky as a new health food innovation. purpose this study was to make by comparing glutinous brown volume brewed brem organoleptic test food. This used 3 designs: an accurate experimental for treatment on drinks; quasi measuring hedonic scores; pre-experiment number panelists. Collectin...
