The recovery of high-quality, valuable end products from cheese whey is a very important industrial process. The aim of this study is to improve the recovered protein content of concentrate stream in cheese whey. The experiments were conducted by using ceramic ultrafiltration (UF) membrane followed by diafiltration (DF) process with a 15kDa molecular weight cut-off (MWCO). The volume concentrat...

background: recently the role of platelets in the tissue regeneration, wound healing and prevention and control of infections has been reported. we aimed to assess the antimicrobial effect of human platelet concentrate against six bacteria, commonly found in wound and hospital-acquired infections. methods: in vitro susceptibility to samples of 10 random human platelet concentrates was determine...

baker's yeast is one of the most important additives for improving the bread quality and molasses is a commonly used source of sugars for producing baker's yeast. nowadays, due to increasing the fermentation industries and limitation in suitable sources of sugars, the use of other carbohydrate sources may be considered.in this study, the possibility of baker's yeast production in three cultures...

the aim of this study was to investigate the mold contamination of main raisins varieties produced in khorasan razavi province with aflatoxin-producing fungi and determine amount of aflatoxins. for this purpose 50 samples were collected from different markets in kashmar, khalil abad, bardaskan, mashhad and quchan (10 samples from each city). the result showed that from 50 raisin samples, 44 sam...

drying is one of the most important steps in raisin processing. during this step, initial moisture content decreases up to 15-17% (db) for suitable storage. achieving optimum drying conditions can affect the processing time and improve raisin quality. temperature, air velocity and pretreatment are important factors in the quality of the grape drying process. in this research, the effect of temp...

this study was conducted to evaluate the effects of extruded linseed on milk production, dry matter intake and reproduction performance of 300 holstein lactating cows (35±15 days in milk; 41±9/8 kg/day of milk production). cows were utilized in a completely randomized experimental design, comprised of: 2 treatments (concentrate containing 7 percent extruded linseed vs control) with a number of ...

sixteen rams (mean age: 13 mo; mean live weight: 40.0 ± 2.4 kg) were randomly allotted to four dietary treatments in a completely randomized design (4 rams per treatment). diets (dry matter basis) contained 65% concentrate and 35% alfalfa hay (control diet, t1), 35% wheat straw (t2), 35% barley straw (t3) or 35% maize straw (t4). total-tract apparent digestibility for dry matter, organic matter...

binders are of prime importance in the agglomeration of iron ore concentrates. in this research, strength and density of briquette produced from the magnetite concentrate of gol-e-gohar were investigated using different binders at various applied pressures. the results showed that peridor was the most effective binder relative to bentonite and lime. for all types of binders, the increase in bin...
