E SOPHAGOGASTRIC ulcers in swine have attracted the attention of swine producers and scientists in recent years because of their apparent increased frequency of occurrence or because of increased awareness of the condition. Various studies and surveys have shown from about 1% (Hoorens et al., 1965) to 55% (Perry et al., 1963) incidence of esophagogastric ulcers in swine. If one considers the va...

BACKGROUND Gastrointestinal side effects, particularly diarrhea, are still the main reasons for discontinuation of enteral nutrition. Gelatinization of liquid meal for the prevention of diarrhea has been reported as effective. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of gelatinization of liquid meal on gastric emptying. METHODS Ten healthy volunteers were studied two times, wi...

Matte, porous, and weakly bound paint layers, typically found in modern/contemporary art, represent an unsolved conservation challenge. Current practice relies on synthetic or natural adhesives that can alter dramatically the optical properties of paints. Alternatively, we propose a novel nanostructured consolidant based starch, renewable polymer. We synthesized starch nanoparticles (SNPs) to b...

In order to evaluate the application potential of enzyme-extruded barley flour (EEBF) in brewing whole-barley beer, physicochemical properties, mashing and fermentation effects EEBF were studied, conventional extruded (CEBF) steam-cooked (SCBF) taken as controls. The water solubility index (WSI) (46.88%–52.63%) was much higher than that CEBF (6.70%) SCBF (4.59%). results degree gelatinization (...

In extrusion printing, the printability of food materials depends on rheology under shearing when extruded, and at rest, post-deposition. Piloting microstructure to provide rheological properties compatible with 3D printing is a major challenge. Microstructure, rheology, wheat-flour based varying concentrations flour, sugar, oil, water were studied. Materials obtained by heating doughs moisture...

In the present study, agro-food waste derived rice straw (RS) was valorized into cellulose microfibers (CMFs) using a green process of combined ultrasound and heating treatments were thereafter used to improve physical properties thermoplastic starch films (TPS). Mechanical defibrillation fibers gave rise CMFs with cumulative frequencies length diameters below 200 5–15 µm, respectively. The res...

In this study, we investigated the changes in composition-, microstructure-, and starch molecular structure of shochu koji during preparation. We observed that gelatinized outer part was decomposed priority early middle preparation stages. The gap between granules increased with delayed time. Finally, microstructure became spongy. Shochu mold produced two α-amylases different expression manners...
