background and objectives: red beet extract concentrate can be used as a natural colorant in food products; however, destructive effects of thermal methods to produce juice concentrate decrease nutritional value in the final product. materials and methods: in this study, red beet extract was concentrated using osmotic distillation method, and the best pretreatment was evaluated to increase the ...

background and objectives: the effect of the different proteins and polysaccharides on the characteristics of low-fat cheese has been a topic of recent study. the release of aromatic compounds from the cheese is affected by the addition of texture improvers. the present study investigated the addition of polysaccharides and proteins on the hardness, microstructure and ester release of low-fat b...

guar gum and whey proteins concentrate (wpc-35) were used as functional additives to improve the functional characteristics (hardness and meltability) of the na-caseinate-based imitation cheese. also, the alterations in the composition, sensory acceptance, color, and texture caused by these ingredients were evaluated. imitation cheeses were formulated with three levels each of wpc (0, 1.5, and ...

background: the purpose of the present in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of long term storage of conventional platelet concentrates (pcs) on major platelet receptors cd42b and cd41/cd61 by flow cytometry method and also measuring the overall platelet procoagulant activity status using platelet factor 3 (pf3) assay. materials and methods: six random units of conventional platelet concent...

according to limitations in blood product resources and to prevent unnecessary transfusions and afterwards complications in perioperative period of total hip arthroplasty, authors administered fibrinogen concentrate in a pilot randomized clinical trial to evaluate bleeding and need to blood transfusion in preoperative period. thirty patients (3-75 years old) with asa physical status class i or ...

Subject of research: technology for the production gluten-free cereal bars
 Investigated problem: development bars with an improved recipe composition, enriched biologically valuable substances, in particular, people suffering from gluten intolerance.
 Main scientific results: Changes amino acid composition sorghum grain due to microwave processing were determined. Formulations develo...

BACKGROUND There is currently a contrast between the demonstrated benefits of fibrinogen concentrate in correcting bleeding and reducing transfusion, and its perceived thrombogenic potential. This analysis evaluates the effects of fibrinogen concentrate on coagulation up to 12 days after administration during aortic surgery. METHODS We performed a post hoc analysis of a prospective, randomize...

Six ruminally cannulated steers were used to evaluate the influence of dietary concentrate level on digestion of fiber, rumen pH and fill, and liquid and particulate passage rates. Total tract digestibility of potentially digestible fiber, but not total fiber, was decreased with each increase in concentrate level. Digestion coefficients suggest that potentially digestible fiber is a more approp...

BACKGROUND Normalization of plasma fibrinogen levels may be associated with satisfactory haemostasis and reduced bleeding. The aim of this retrospective study was to assess fibrinogen recovery parameters after administration of fibrinogen concentrate (Haemocomplettan P) to patients with diffuse bleeding in cardiovascular surgery. Data on transfusion and patient outcomes were also collected. M...

SKADHAUGE, ERIK, AND BODIL SCHMIDT-NIELSEN. Renal function in domestic fowl. Am. J. Physiol. 2 12 (4) : 793-798. 1967.Roosters were exposed to water and salt loading and to dehydration. The ureteral urine was collected through polyethylene funnels. The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was found to increase an average of 23 yO from dehydration to hydration, when at the same time the urine flow i...
