In recent years, the production of nutritious snacks has received much attention. Food industry by-products represent an abundant source of nutrients and are often used as an animal feed. Sunflower seed meal is high in protein and essential amino acids, minerals and vitamins and mohammadi rose (R. Damascena) waste, contains high amounts of phenolic compounds. In the present study, sunflower see...

background and objective: semi-dry fermented sausages were manufactured from beef meat in three types: without starter culture (control), inoculated with lactobacillus casei and inoculated with lactobacillus paracasei. probiotic fermented sausages are safe and healthy meat products, which receive high commercial interest and growing market shares. material and methods: the physico–chemical char...

this study was carried out to investigate the effects of salinity levels (0, 2, 4, 7 and 10 ppt) on growth indices, blood biochemical parameters, and body composition in rutilus frisii kutum fingerlings (initial weight 1.330.02 g) during 60 days. results indicated that the highest rates of daily growth, specific growth and weight gain per fish were obtained at the levels of 4 and 2 ppt (p0.05)...

Seasonal changes in the biochemical parameters such as protein, carbohydrate, lipid and ash besides moisture content in the muscle of Lagocephalus spadiceus (Richardson, 1845) and Lagocephalus lunaris (Bloch and Schneider, 1801) has been carried out during January to December 2009. The percentage composition of moisture, protein, carbohydrate, lipid and ash contents showed variations in their a...

this experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of spirulina pletensis powder on the growth performances (final weight (fw), daily growth ratio (dgr), feed indices (feed conversion rate (fcr), voluntary feed intake (vfi), protein efficiency ratio (per), protein produce value (ppv), body chemical (protein, fat, moisture and ash) and fatty acid composition of mugil cephalus for 62 days. the ...

Wildland firefighters work in unfavourable environments involving both heat and moisture. Moisture in clothing systems worn by wildland firefighters may increase or decrease heat transfer, depending on its source and location in the clothing system, location on the body, timing of application and degree of sorption. In this experiment, 4 outerwear/underwear combinations were exposed to 1 of 5 d...

This research was carried out at the laboratories of Food Science Department, Faculty of Agriculture, Damascus University, to investigate the effect of high temperatures on accelerating the ripening of kachcaval cheese, through determining the chemical and sensory indicators of ripened cheese using three temperatures (16°C, 20°C for a week) then completing the ripening process up to 60 days at ...

drought is the most common environmental stress in vineyard occurs in soils with low water content, even in irrigation condition. to evaluate foliar spraying of ascorbic acid under drought stress, a research during 2012 to 2013 years in the natural environment, and one year after the establishment of the cuttings in clay loam soil was conducted. cultivars with two-level white seedless and khosh...
