Abstract Since climate change, intermittent droughts with various severities, poor management and uncontrolled abstraction of water resources, inattention to the balance these resources have caused crisis in recent decades, it is vitally important study scarcity, its changes future, effect change drought on scarcity through appropriate policies agricultural sector. To achieve this goal, present...

Aging populations in developed countries will increase the demand for implantable materials to support tissue regeneration. Whey Protein Isolate (WPI), derived from dairy industry by-products, can be processed into hydrogels with following desirable properties applications engineering: (i) ability adhesion and growth of cells; (ii) ease sterilization by autoclaving (iii) incorporation poorly wa...

The effect of different composite coatings on quality semi-moist apricot cubes mixed with cornflakes was investigated during 180 days storage. were osmotically dehydrated (OD) and coated before hot-air drying (HAD) at 60 °C. Chitosan-bees wax (CBW) whey protein isolate-bees wax-oleic acid (WPI-BW-OA) applied after HAD the samples added to cornflakes. Application OD pectin-ascorbic (Pec-AA) coat...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this in-vitro study was to investigate the potential of biofilm removal in interproximal tooth regions using intervallic cleaning with an oral irrigator or a sonic toothbrush. METHODS Three-species biofilms (Streptococcus mutans (OMZ 918), Streptococcus oralis SK 248 (OMZ 60), Actinomyces naeslundii (OMZ 745)) were grown on hydroxyapatite discs for 3 days in culture ...

The impact of curcumin-loaded nanodroplets on the properties commercial salad dressings was examined. Nanoemulsions were formulated using a plant-based oil (medium chain triglycerides, MCT) and either (Quillaja saponaria, QS) or animal-based (whey protein isolate, WPI) emulsifier. Curcumin-loaded nanoemulsions produced by microfluidization contained small anionic droplets: d32 = 0.28 0.11 μm ζ ...

This study deals with the design and comprehensive evaluation of novel hydrogels based on whey protein isolate (WPI) for tissue regeneration. So far, WPI has been considered mainly as a food industry by-product there are very few reports application in engineering (TE). In this work, WPI-based were modified bioactive glass (BG), which is commonly used bone substitute material. Ready-to-use, ste...

A new method to quantify changes in El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) variability is presented, using the overlap between probability distributions of the wavelet spectrum as measured by the wavelet probability index (WPI). Examples are provided using long integrations of three coupled climate models. When subsets of Niño-3.4 time series are compared, the width of the confidence interval on W...

The effects of heat-induced denaturation and subsequent aggregation of whey protein isolate (WPI) solutions on the rate of enzymatic hydrolysis was investigated. Both heated (60 °C, 15 min; 65 °C, 5 and 15 min; 70 °C, 5 and 15 min, 75 °C, 5 and 15 min; 80 °C, 10 min) and unheated WPI solutions (100 g L(-1) protein) were incubated with a commercial proteolytic enzyme preparation, Corolase PP, un...
