Acrylamide concentrations in prune products--baby strained prunes (range = 75-265 µg kg(-1)), baby apple/prune juice (33-61 µg kg(-1)), prune juice (186-916 µg kg(-1)) and prunes (58-332 µg kg(-1))--on the Canadian market were determined. The formation of acrylamide in a simulated plum juice was also investigated under 'drying conditions' in an open vessel at temperatures <100°C for 24 h and un...

Abstract 120 day storage experiment at 4°C, 22°C and 40°C of cloudy apple juice without AA added or juice with 0.006% or 0.024% (w/w) AA added was conducted. The content of polyphenols, 5-(hydroxymethyl)furaldehyde (5-HMF), ascorbic acid, and the color were assessed by HPLC and other analysis techniques. The formation of new particles in juice during storage was studied by electronic scan micro...

flow characteristics and rheological parameters of “malas yazdi” pomegranate (punica granatum l.) juice were investigated using rotational viscometer at different temperatures (10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 and 70ºc) and concentrations (12, 22, 32, 42 and 52º brix). the experimental data had the best fitness with herschel-bulkley model and the values of flow behavior index (n) varied between 0.97 and ...

QUESTION Several children in my clinic are recovering from urinary tract infections (UTI). A mother of one of the children asked me if I recommended cranberry juice for children to prevent future episodes of UTI. She was given cranberry juice after she suffered from a UTI several months ago. ANSWER Cranberry juice has been shown to be effective in preventing adhesion of bacteria such as Esche...

Juice appearance is important to consumers, so digital juice with a slider that varies a production parameter or changes juice content is useful. It is however challenging to render juice with scattering particles quickly and accurately. As a case study, we create an appearance model that provides the optical properties needed for rendering of unfiltered apple juice. This is a scattering medium...

the effect of different juice extraction treatments on the qualitative properties of lime juice was investigated. samples were selected from jahromi lime variety and lime juice extracted by means of a screw type juice extraction device. the mechanical parameters of the helical juice extractor [screw velocity (270, 360 and 450 rpm), outlet pressure (minimum, medium vs. maximum)] and lime pretrea...

A number of volatile compounds that contribute to orange flavor were quantified following high-temperature forced-air (HTFA) treatment of the fruit to determine if a relationship exists between the flavor loss that is observed following HTFA treatment and the volatile composition of the juice. Following different durations of HTFA treatment, fruit were stored for a period of 4 weeks and juiced ...

BACKGROUND To determine the prevalence of dental erosion and its association to commonly used beverages and snacks among 3 to 5 year old preschool children in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. METHODS Three hundred eighty-eight preschool children between 3 and 5 years old were selected from 10 different schools using a cluster random sample selection; there were 184 (47%) boys and 204 (53%) girls. The su...

Readers of Wine East are familiar with the "French Paradox," a report that aired on the CBS television news program "60 Minutes" on November 17, 1991. The report suggested that the lower per capita heart failure of French people with diets similar to Americans may be explained by their greater levels of red wine consumption. The reaction to the broadcast in the United States was dramatic. Over ...

I magine a society with perfect economic equality. Perhaps out of sheer coincidence, the supply and demand for different types of labor happen to produce an equilibrium in which everyone earns exactly the same income. As a result, no one worries about the gap between the rich and poor, and no one debates to what extent public policy should make income redistribution a priority. Because people e...
