background quince seed mucilage biopolymer (qsmb), famous for ameliorating coughs and controlling asthma symptoms, has not been processed by scientific methods and rules into a local oral tablet. objectives the purpose of this study was to investigate and compare the mechanical properties of qsmb with different size fractions of the mucilage powder, dried by oven or by freeze drying, to achieve...

Drying organic material before soil incorporation is a common procedure used in mineralization or decomposition studies. A laboratory study was conducted to determine the effect of drying methods on plant C and N and associated mineralization patterns in soil. Freezeand oven-dried water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes [Mart] Solms) was added to a Kendrick soil (loamy, siliceous, hyperthermic Are...

In this work, oven-dried, freeze-dried and spray-dried agaro-oligosaccharide powders were characterized to investigate their physicochemical and antioxidant properties. Agarooligosaccharide powders were shown to exhibit high water solubility index (88.73 – 95.88%), water absorption capacity (0.96 – 2.57 g/g) and oil absorption capacity (0.40 – 0.45 g/g). Agarooligosaccharide powders were shown ...

this experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of using three commercial enzymes on performance and carcass quality of broiler chickens fed with wheat-barley-soy based diets. in a completely randomized design 405 of broiler (ross308) in nine treatments, three replicates (with 15 bird in each replicate) were used. the experimental diets included 1) diet based on corn–soybean meal (with...

This study investigates effects from different drying methods (vacuum oven dried vs. freeze dried) on the rheological, functional and structural properties of chicken skin gelatin compared to bovine gelatin. Vacuum oven dried chicken skin samples showed a higher gelatin yield (12.86%) than freeze-dried samples (9.25%). The latter showed a higher melting temperature (32.64oC) and superior foamin...

this experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of different levels of dried lemon pulp in corn- soybean meal diets on egg production, egg traits and as well as blood metabolites of laying hens. throughout the experiment, 144 hi- line (w36) laying hens from 65 to 76 weeks of age were assigned to 4 treatments of 3 replicates each, with 12 hens per replicate. a completely randomized design ...
