Nickel films of 150 nm thickness were deposited on 304 stainless steel and post annealed under flow of nitrogen at different temperatures. The prepared samples were corrosion tested in 1.0 M H2SO4 solution using potentiodynamic polarization technique. Crystallographic and morphological structure of the samples were analysed by X-ray diffraction XRD and atomic force microscopy AFM respectively b...

The stability of YKL-40, a mammalian member of the family of 18 glycosylhydrolases, in blood samples handled under different temperatures and different time intervals before centrifugation was studied in paired serum and plasma samples from 25 healthy premenopausal Danish women. Significant elevations of YKL-40 were found in 8 paired serum samples left on the clot for more than 3 h at room temp...

The objective of this study was to better understand the effect of butter composition and emulsion structure on growth and survival of Clostridium sporogenes, used as a surrogate for C. botulinum in canned butter. The lack of a thermal process step in commercially available canned butter raises questions of potential safety, because it is hermetically sealed and generally exhibits anaerobic gro...

Examination for CBH351 maize was conducted by the qualitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method in maize grain and maize processed foods obtained in the Tokyo area. The numbers of samples possibly positive in the screening test were 7 of 22 (31.8%) for maize grain samples, 4 of 14 (28.6%) for semi-processed foods, 11 of 30 (36.7%) for canned products, 3 of 30 (10.0%) for maize snacks, 3 of...

The differences in water absorption properties were investigated among three types of flat pastas (LT: pasta dried at low temperature 50°C for 20 hours ; HT: pasta dried at high temperature 70°C for 11 hours; VHT: pasta dried at very high temperature 85°C for 4 hours). Pastas were soaked at different temperatures and for different times in a thermostatic bath to investigate moisture distributio...

The importance of the study is in development canned beef with increased biological value. plant complex “spirulina-flax” was used for modernization meat. A corresponding goal and objectives research on new meat, recipes, chemical composition vitro digestibility were formulated. Development foods carried out laboratories N.V. Parakhin Oryol State Agrarian University “Oryolproduct” Mtsensk distr...

Breath monitoring is a non-invasive, safe, and repeatable approach to determining the respiratory, gastrointestinal, and general health status of humans and other mammals. Breath samples could be detected in two ways—directly sensing exhaled breath (EB) or chilling the EB to obtaining the exhaled breath condensate (EBC). Each has its advantages and disadvantages but they are both affected by di...

genetically modified (gm) foods hold the key to ending hunger and malnutrition in africa.   due to the increasing number of gmos cultivation and delay in the approval of biosafety law in nigeria, it has become necessary to screen maize products in order to determine the identity of the consumed daily foodstuffs. in this study, dna extraction from raw and processed maize foods sold commercially ...
