The effect of the interaction of iota-carrageenan (ICG) or lambda-carrageenan (LCG) with locust bean gum and carboxymethylcellulose on the properties of ice cream was studied employing a mixture design approach. A model formulation was employed with of 5% (w / w) of hydrocolloids like stabilizers. Hydrocolloids mixture effect on ice cream properties (base viscosity, ice-cream overrun, hardness,...

BACKGROUND Excessive subcutaneous adipose tissue is typically treated by physically removing the fat through liposuction, but cost and accessibility have popularized alternative treatments for reducing adipose tissue thickness. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to test the absolute and relative effectiveness of a liposome-encapsulated caffeine-based cream in modifying subcutaneous adipo...

The objectives of this study were to determine the major components in tea leaves and tea extracts and to study the relationship between chemical content and antimutagenic activity of various tea extracts. The amount of catechins in various tea extracts was in the order: green tea (26.7%) > oolong tea (23.2%) > pouchong tea (15.8%) > black tea (4.3%). The amounts of caffeine and phenolic compou...
