An understanding of the complex processes that occur during firing is necessary to control the quality of tortilla chips. Quantitative information is needed to describe the rate of oil absorption into the chips during the process. In this study, tortilla chips were processed under different conditions: (1) baking time, (2) fying oil temperature, (3) particle size distribution, and (4) oil quali...

Nitrate in water from tile drained corn (Zea mays L.) and soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] fields in the U.S. Midwest contributes to nitrate contamination of surface waters. Denitrification-based biofilters are a promising strategy for reducing nitrate concentrations, but these systems require an external carbon supply to sustain denitrification. The ability of four organic materials to serve a...

background and objectives: in the production process of foods rich in carbohydrates and some other foods containing precursors of acrylamide formation, there is the possibility of acrylamide creation, which is a mutagen and carcinogen material. this study aims to introduce and optimize a new method for determining acrylamide in potato chips using xanthydrol as a derivative representative with g...

OBJECTIVES As part of a larger study of polychlorinated dibenzodioxin (PCDD) and dibenzofuran (PCDF) pollution, to describe and compare Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal residents' recalled diets. METHODS We surveyed a stratified random sample aged 25 to 64 years: forest products mill employees (n = 84), Aboriginal reserve residents (n = 78), and other residents (n = 80). We administered a questi...

This study aims to investigate the genetic mechanisms of one pregnant woman with severe mental retardation, hypoevolutism, and adverse history of pregnancy and delivery, and to perform the prenatal diagnosis towards the fetus, aiming to provide guidance for her future fertility. High-resolution chromosome assay (HRCA), fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), and whole genome DNA microarray (...

This research conducted on a East Java, Indonesia, namely one engaged food industry, including providing processed fish, tempeh, emping mlinjo, banana chips. Data were gathered observ...

OBJECTIVE To examine dietary patterns among British adults, associations with Na and macronutrient intakes, and implications for dietary advice. DESIGN Principal component analysis of 7 d weighed dietary records. SUBJECTS Adults aged 19-64 years (n 1724). SETTING National Diet and Nutrition Survey (2000/2001). RESULTS High Na intake was associated with more energy-dense diets, higher in...

1 Ana Aizcorbe In the mid-1990s, measured productivity growth for the semiconductor industry showed a pickup that coincided with an economy-wide acceleration in labor productivity growth. This pickup in semiconductor markets stems from an increase in the growth of real output that was, in turn, generated by what Dale Jorgenson (2001) called an " inflection point " in the price indexes for the s...

This study investigates the effect of ageing on the qualitative and quantitative composition of plum distillate in contact with oak wood chips. Maturation was performed with lightly toasted French oak (Quercus sessiflora and Quercus robur) chips or oak chips made from fragments of empty barrels that had been used for ageing cognac. The effects of oak chip dose, process temperature, ageing syste...
