Vegetables and fruits have an interesting nutritional profile, rich in bioactive metabolites, holding a high antioxidant potential health associated benefits. However, their functional properties, the shorter shelf-life due to high-water content, seasonality nature lead extensive food losses waste. The valorization of vegetables by-products through development value-added products application p...

Abstract Freezing can enhance the storage time of liquid egg products, but yolk undergoes an irreversible textural and structural change when it is cooled to –6 °C. In this study, effects different salt concentrations on physical properties frozen-thawed were investigated. The pasteurised (LEY) was treated with 4, 5, 6% NaCl before freezing stored at –18 °C for 4 weeks. colour, pH, rheological ...

Communication of the complex relationship between air pollutant exposure and ill health is essential to an air pollution information system. We propose a novel air pollution index (API) system based on the relative risk of the well-established increased daily mortality associated with short-term exposure to common air pollutants: particulate matter (PM10, PM2.5), sulphur dioxide, ozone, nitroge...

urbanization expanse and population growth, as well as pilgrim's possibility of some cities provide overuse of vehicles and consequently increased air pollution. thus by considering the importance of the impact of air pollution on human health, in this study, air pollution in terms of pm10 using psi standard index and inverse distance weighting is zoned in mashhad. on the other hand, meteo...

Heather (Calluna 6ulgaris) was grown in pots in a natural heathland soil and exposed in outdoor fumigation chambers (‘solardomes’) to 40 nl l of both nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and sulphur dioxide (SO2) simultaneously. Plants exposed to NO2 and SO2 for 8 months over a growing season (February–November) showed increases in the growth of shoots (+37%) and the whole plant (+15%) and a raised ratio of ...

We compare the recently developed Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) with other thermal indices in analysing heat- and cold-related effects on cardiovascular (CVD) mortality in two different (urban and rural) regions in the Czech Republic during the 16-year period from 1994-2009. Excess mortality is represented by the number of deaths above expected daily values, the latter being adjusted f...

Introduction: Air pollution is now one of the greatest environmental hazards to human health in the world. The aim of this study determines the relationship between air quality and cases of myocardial infarction in Yazd. Methods: This Ecological study was performed in Yazd, Iran. In this study, all individuals who referred to emergency cases with myocardial infarction in Yazd in one year from ...

Abstract The article deals with the problem of concrete durability in area variable water level port facilities. Particular attention was paid to exposure both negative temperatures and sea water. reasons for destruction first winter season under prolonged freezing structures ice were analyzed. authors come conclusion that alternating thawing is not always a major critical value severity frost ...
