Pectin derived from plant waste sources is currently focused as an economical and eco-friendly approach. Optimization of pectin extraction from muskmelon peel by response surface methodology (RSM) was investigated in this study. Box-Behnken Design (BBD) was used to identify the optimal level of the extraction variables such as time, pH and temperature. A second-order model equation for pectin e...

Ice cream contains high sugar content and therefore it is in contradiction with the concept of healthy diet. The objective of this study is to determine the suitability of using stevia as an alternative natural sweetener in making ice cream. Inhouse ice cream formulation (as the control) and three different concentrations of stevia ice cream formulations of (A, B and C) were used. Physical prop...

The present study is an attempt to deal with hydrodynamic and thermal aspects of the incompressible Carreau fluid flow past a membrane consisting uniformly distributed aggregates porous cylindrical particles enclosing solid core which aims provide comprehensive impact non-Newtonian nature in filtration process through membranes. characteristic adopted describe mechanism pseudoplastic layout pat...

Gas hydrate slurries, which are prepared using solid hydrates and water, effective secondary refrigerants with a high latent heat of fusion could be used to reduce global warming. The application these slurries requires knowledge their flow characteristics in good poor states. In the present work, properties R-134a R-32 gas circulating loop tube were investigated Rabinowitsch–Mooney equation es...

amniotic fluid volume (afv) is one of the important parameters in the assessment of fetal well-being. the ability of ultrasound measurements to represent the actual afv is unproven. this study was undertaken to compare correlation of conventional amniotic fluid index (afi) and radial amniotic fluid index (rafi) as a new method with actual fluid volume on phantom. as an experimental study, 10 to...

The aim of this study was to investigate the rheological behavior and mucoadhesive nature of saliva substitutes, by incorporating various mucoadhesive polymers into an artificial saliva pump spray formulation. For this purpose various mucoadhesive polymers including cellulosic polymers in the range of 0.1-1.0% and Carbomers such as C974p, C971, C934p and C971 in the range of 0.01-0.1% were adde...

We have reviewed currently available OVDs and their classification. Their use in unusual problems of cataract surgery demonstrates that generally a variant of Soft Shell techniques is optimal for unusual problems and complications. This differs in glaucoma surgery, where space creation and maintenance is the usual goal, making highly viscous cohesive OVDs, and sometimes viscoadaptives the usual...
