Effects of extrusion cooking and low-temperature storage on the physicochemical changes and resistant starch (RS) content in cornstarch were evaluated. The cornstarch was conditioned at 20%-40% moisture contents and extruded in the range 90-130 °C and at screw speeds in the range 200-360 rpm. The extrudates were stored at 4 °C for 120 h and then at room temperature. The water absorption, solubi...

Extrusion is a multistep thermal process which has been utilized in a wide spectrum of food preparations. The effect of extrusion processing on the physicochemical, nutritional, and functional properties of Tarom cultivar rice bran was studied. However, the color of rice bran was improved by extrusion processing, but the protein content was reduced in the stabilized rice bran, which can be rela...

Retrograde cement extrusion into the nutrient vessels of the femur is a rare phenomenon in uncomplicated cemented hemiarthroplasty of the hip; this is a report on three cases. Routine postoperative radiographs showed a continuous dense linear opacity arising from the posterior medial region of the femur. Computed tomography (CT) scans revealed no evidence of a cortical break in the femur and co...

OBJECTIVE To describe clinical and magnetic resonance imaging features in dogs with compressive cervical myelopathy due to acute suspected hydrated nucleus pulposus extrusion. DESIGN Retrospective case series. ANIMALS Ten dogs with compressive cervical myelopathy caused by acute suspected hydrated nucleus pulposus extrusion. MATERIALS AND METHODS Medical records and magnetic resonance ima...

A typical extrusion of low and medium strength aluminium alloys solid shapes is performed with flat pocket dies. The pocket allows realising the extrusion as “billet-to-billet” process, and also facilitates filling-up die channel deadlocks and thin-walled elements of profile [1]. In addition it serves as an instrument for shape geometry control. The scientific literature contains a variety of r...

The objective of this experiment was to assess the effects of malting, extrusion and a combination of both processes on the physical and functional properties of the pearl millet flour (PMF) and pearl millet based instant beverage powder (PMIBP) produced. PMF and PMIBP were prepared by malting, extrusion and a combination of malting and extrusion cooking from two different varieties of pearl mi...

Extrusion is an alternative technology for the production of nixtamalized products. The aim of this study was to obtain an expanded nixtamalized snack with whole blue corn and using the extrusion process, to preserve the highest possible total anthocyanin content, intense blue/purple coloration (color b) and the highest expansion index. A central composite experimental design was used. The extr...

Anterior riberation methods of otoplasty have been criticized because of the risk of anterior hematoma that can cause anterior skin necrosis, scarring, and even cartilage destruction caused by infection. As a result, cartilage-sparing otoplasty such as the Mustardé and Furnas types has been increasingly popular. However, postauricular suture extrusion may result, and recurrence rates of up to 2...

Recent reports have suggested that when unfertilized oocytes with a spermatozoon after intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) are properly activated, the activated oocytes develop normally similar to fertilized oocytes. However, human oocytes do not easily respond to universal activators of mammalian oocytes like ethanol or calcium ionophore A23187, which induce a calcium transient in ooplasm....
