The changes in some physicochemical properties, sugar, organic acid and volatile compound contents fresh Verdani grape (Vitis vinifera L.) juice (FGJ) were evaluated the production of its traditional molasses (pekmez). After production, total soluble solid (TSS), titratable acidity (TA), glucose, fructose, malic, citric succinic concentrations increased (P

Numerous methods, enzymatic and chemical, have been reported for the determination of small amounts of citric acid in biological fluids. Of the chemical methods the majority involve the conversion of the citric acid to pentabromoacetone, which may be estimated by various gravimetric, titrimetric, or calorimetric procedures. The more recent modifications (l-3) of the met.hod have simplified it a...

We examined the sour taste transduction mechanism in the mouse by applying whole cell patch-clamp technique to nondissociated taste cells from the fungiform papillae. Localized stimulation with 0.5 M NaCl and 25 mM citric acid (pH 3.0) of the apical membrane enabled us to obtain responses from single taste cells under a quasi-natural condition. Of 28 taste cells examined, 11 cells (39%) respond...

AIM The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of organic acids as replacer to antibiotics in their various combinations on feed consumption, body weight gain, and feed conversion ratio (FCR) in broiler chicks during different phases of growth. MATERIALS AND METHODS Antibiotics and organic acids were incorporated into boiler feed in different combinations to form 10 maize based te...

this study was carried out to investigate the effect of differentpreservative solutions to improve the keeping quality of tuberose (polianthes tuberosa cv. single). these preservative solutions (treatments) were: t1= 2% sucrose + 200 mg/l agno3, t2= 2% sucrose + 200 mg/l agno3 + 25 mg/l citric acid, t3= 2% sucrose + 300 mg/l hqs, t4 = 2% sucrose + 300 mg/l hqs+ 25 mg/l citric acid, t5= 2% sucro...

Corresponding Author Email : [email protected] The study evaluated effect of ascorbic acid and citric acid treatments on the functional and sensory properties of yam flour. Yam (Dioscorea rotundata) tubers were washed, peeled and cut into thin slices of 1cm thickness. The slices were divided into 7 portions. The 1st portion served as control. The 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th portions were soaked i...
