Background & Aim: Tragacanth is a natural gum obtained from the dried sap of several species of Middle Eastern egumes of the genus Astragalus, that is a viscous, odorless, tasteless, water-soluble mixture of polysaccharides. Tragacanth is used in pharmaceutical and foods industries as an emulsifier, thickener, stabilizer, and texturant additive. Sponge cake is one of the most popular b...

This study investigated the effect of milk composition (cow-, buffalo-, and mixed- milk) on color, textural, rheological, microstructural sensorial attributes chhana (Indian cottage cheese). Principle component analysis cluster were used to correlate quality attributes. Instrumental properties descriptors for that contributed most textural sensory identified. Chhana containing 100% 75% cow foun...

Area-based analyses of airborne laser scanning (ALS) data are an established approach to obtain wall-to-wall predictions of forest characteristics for vast areas. The analyses of sparse data in particular are based on the height value distributions, which do not produce optimal information on the horizontal forest structure. We evaluated the complementary potential of features quantifying the t...

The coefficients of a weighted summation of red, green and blue intensities are shown to effect textural characteristics. Thus multispectral images can be mutated into forms that facilitate their discrimination by a given set of statistical texture measures.

The hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most frequent malignant liver tumor. Detecting the HCC evolution phases represents an important research challenge. Our aim is to discover the evolution stages of the HCC tumor, through unsupervised classification techniques, using texture-based image analysis methods. We defined the textural model of these phases, consisting of the most relevant textur...
