The negative-pressure cavitation extraction (NPCE) technique was applied firstly to extract secoisolariciresinol diglucoside (SDG) from flaxseed cakes. The significant extraction parameters were screened by fractional factorial design (FFD). The optimal parameters were determined using the central composite design (CCD) with the two variables, NaOH amount and the liquid/solid ratio. The conditi...

Gluten-free confectionery products were used as controls for comparison with the products, which included different supplements such as linseed meal, amaranth and/or buckwheat. The latter were expected to increase nutritional values of confectionery products. Cookies were analyzed in terms of volume, selected textural parameters (hardness, cohesiveness), organoleptic quality, shelf-life, and di...

We sought to determine the source of a norovirus outbreak among attendees of 46 weddings taking place during a single weekend. Norovirus-compatible illness was experienced by 332 (39%) of wedding guests surveyed; the outbreak affected up to 2700 persons. Illness was associated with eating wedding cake provided by a bakery common to the weddings (adjusted RR 4.5, P<0.001). A cake requiring direc...

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This case details the implementation of the Systems Applications & Products (SAP) Production Planning module at EA Cakes Ltd. The market forced the company to change its sales and production strategy from “make-to-order” to “make-to-stock.” The decision to change the strategy involved not only the company’s decision to invest much more money in accumulation and keeping stocks ...

The article demonstrates the advisability of substituting high-grade wheat flour in formulation a sponge cake semi-finished mix with oat, corn and gram flour. An contains much more protein than This significant amount globulin, which suggests an evident foaming capacity systems is positive factor technology making cakes. When suggested completely, nutritional value finished products improves. s...

We prove an Ω(n2) lower bound on the query complexity of local proportionality in Robertson-Webb cake-cutting model. Local requires that each agent prefer their allocation to average neighbors' allocations some undirected social network. It is a weaker fairness notion than envy-freeness, which also has Ω(n2), and generally incomparable proportionality, Θ(nlog⁡n). This result separates from ordi...

We demonstrate three potential edible applications of shellac oleogels as (i) a continuous oil phase for preparation of emulsifier-free, structured w/o emulsions (spreads), (ii) a replacer for oil-binders in chocolate paste formulations and (iii) a shortening alternative for cake preparation. Water-in-oil emulsions with up to 60 wt% water were prepared without the need for an emulsifier by simp...

Embedded systems are used everywhere. They are complex systems whose failure may cause death or injury to people or may damage the environment are required to be safety safe. Therefore, these systems need to be analyzed. Fault tree analysis is a common way for performing safety analysis. It generates a large amount of interconnected data that itself needs to be analyzed to help different domain...
