Urinary stone disease is global problem and is due to alteration in the normal crystallization environment of urine in the urinary tract systems. Major factors responsible for crystal formation are super-saturation of Ca salts and level of crystallization inhibitors (Citrate & Phytate). Excessive citrate intake makes the urine more alkaline (pH between 6 and 7). This can be achieved by oral adm...

The effect of Citrus maxima Merr. fruit juice extract in alloxaninduced diabetes Wistar rats was investigated in this study. Sixteen adult male albino wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups [A D]. Group A and C were administered with alloxan [150mg/kg] intraperitoneally to induce diabetes. Groups A and B were later treated with the fruit juice [10ml/kg body weight] for 22 days, whil...

Microbial pectinases has been employed vigorously for the juice clarification since recent times. The juice clarification procedures carried out in industries mainly involve bio-catalyzed depectinization and fining by incorporation of pectinases to achieve pectin degradation. Pectins are fibrelike structure which makes the clarification process more complicated. Pectinases are enzymes which deg...

Todays, parallel to growing in acceptance of functional products, various additives are used to improve the characteristics of functional food products. The coenzyme Q10 is an essential component for energy conversion and production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in the membranes of all body cells and organelles, especially the inner mitochondrial membrane is found. Coenzyme Q10 plays a vital ...

today, in parallel to growing in acceptance of functional products, various additives are used to improve the characteristics of functional food products. the coenzyme q10 plays a vital role in cellular energy production. it also increases the body's immune system via its antioxidant activity. the aim of this study was to evaluate the addition of coenzyme q10 on physicochemical properties of or...

BACKGROUND This study evaluated an environmental intervention intended to increase consumption of the fruit serving among elementary school children participating in the National School Lunch Program (NSLP). METHODS Children's fruit consumption was measured in two schools by observation. In the intervention school, cafeteria workers provided the verbal prompt, "Would you like fruit or juice w...
