The present study was designed to evaluate the independent and interactive effects of a once-a-day yoghurt drink providing 2 g plant sterols/d and capsules providing 2 g fish oil n-3 long-chain (LC) PUFA/d on plasma lipids, apolipoproteins and LDL particle size. Following a 2-week run-in period, 200 mildly hypercholesterolaemic Indian adults aged 35-55 years were randomised into one of four gro...

Background & Aims of the Study: Because of yoghurt is a particular flavor (caused by diacetyl) and appropriate essential oils (from Atanal) as well as enjoy the soft tissue, it is considered as one of the most palatable dairy products. With regards to the yoghurt portion in supplement of protein food needs in our society, it is necessary to ensure i...

Yoghurt production was modeled in this study based on different incubation temperatures, inoculum ratio of starter culture and times. Experimental yoghurts were produced two replicates final pH values 343 yoghurt samples determined. Resultant used fuzzy logic modeling system. Fuzzy modelling conducted sections: rules set membership function generated the first section defuzzification second sec...

grape vine is one of the important horticultural crops with unique standing as regards use and consumption. the fruit is utilized from immature to ripened state and as raisins. its leaves can be used when they are soft and fresh. therefore it is necessary to improve iranian grapevine quality as well as quantity. the main purpose of this study was the use of phenyl phetalamic acid (ppa) to incre...

in recent years, water or sugar syrup, flavoring agents such as fruit juice or fruit juice concentrates and stabilizers have been added to the acidified dairy beverage composition. nowadays, the popularity of low fat and defatted fruit yoghurt drinks are mainly growing. the purpose of this study was to diversify the acidified dairy products by determining the sensory, rheological and stability ...

milk and dairy products are in diet almost every day. milk fat contains 70% of saturated fatty acids which can cause an increase in total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and the risk of cardiovascular diseases. therefor, modification of fat composition at dairy products such as yoghurt seems necessary. walnut has high amount of essential fatty acids, anti oxidants and other beneficial ...

Strawberry Rosella Smoothie yogurt has been by reducing the water content and adding rosella flower extract strawberry jam. Before being marketed, these products need to be tested for safety market opportunities. This study ...

In the present work an experimental investigation was conducted to obtain a correlation for the determination of convective heat transfer coefficients of stirred yoghurt in a plate heat exchanger. A rheological study was carried out in order to characterise the stirred yoghurt flow behaviour, evaluating its dependency both on shear rate and temperature. A shift in the temperature dependency was...

Tropical trees may show positive density dependence in fruit set and maturation due to pollen limitation in low-density populations. However, pollen from closely related individuals in the local neighbourhood might reduce fruit set or increase fruit abortion in self-incompatible tree species. We investigated the role of neighbourhood density and genetic relatedness on individual fruit set and a...
