Chhana cake, locally termed chhana podo, is a baked traditional dairy product of India. The present study was undertaken for optimization of process parameters pertaining to production of chhana podo. Independent variables, namely, moisture content of feed-mix: 52.5 62.5% (wb), baking temperature: 60 180°C, baking time: 1 9 h and height of feed-mix: 1 5 cm were selected heuristically and their ...

In the dough, carbon sources are constituted of flour glucides represented by small quantities of glucose, fructose and sucrose. Glucose and fructose can be directly metabolised as they are diffused through the cellular membrane. There is a greater preference for glucose, which is the first to be used in the dough. By decreasing the glucose concentration, the yeast uses the fructose in the doug...

The scientific evidences show that the content, baking methods, and types of bread can make health impacts. Bread, as a major part of Iranian diet, demonstrates a significant potential to be targeted as health promotion subject. Healthy Food for Healthy Communities (HFHC) was a project of Isfahan Healthy Heart Program (IHHP), consisting of a wide variety of strategies, like Healthy Bread (HB) I...

Areca nut, commonly known locally as Semen Arecae (SA) in China, has been used as an important Chinese herbal medicine for thousands of years. The raw SA (RAW) is commonly processed by stir-baking to yellow (SBY), stir-baking to dark brown (SBD), and stir-baking to carbon dark (SBC) for different clinical uses. In our present investigation, intelligent sensory technologies consisting of compute...

Food snack products were prepared by a combination of flour composition and ingredient recipes. A popular trend in replacing wheat flour with rice flour was proposed in the consumer food manufacturing industries for improvement in quality and nutritional value. The effect of variations in flour combination and sugar and fat replacers on the physical (texture and color) and chemical properties (...

Cereal Chem. 86(5):582–589 A modified extensigraph method reduced sample quantity to 100 g from 300 g and testing time by half with easy dough preparation compared to the AACC standard extensigraph method, which challenges wheat breeding programs where the sample size is small and evaluations of large numbers of samples are demanded. Correlation coefficients (r) for 93 pairs of each of six exte...

A technique for the fabrication of tapered and lenslike waveguides from solution-deposited thin films is described. Using a microprocessor controlled dipping arm, substrates are withdrawn from a solution with a carefully controlled and varying velocity. Inthisway optical waveguides with regions of varying thickness are deposited. Following the drying and baking of the films, desired structures ...

This article contains a general review of current food technologies and their effect on the quality and safety of foods. The uses of these technologies in the context of current and projected world population, urbanization prevention of food losses, preservation and trade of foods, domestically and internationally are briefly reviewed. Technologies discussed are related to food storage, refrige...

The association between indoor smoke exposure due to traditional baking (baking homemade bread) and anthracosis has rarely been investigated. The aim of the present study is to quantify such association among the Iranian population. A hospital based case-control study was carried out on 83 anthracotic cases and 155 controls (83 individuals with non-anthracotic pulmonary disorders from the pulmo...
