Flow and dynamic rheological properties of hot thickened soups for consumption by the elderly people with swallowing difficulty (dysphagia) were investigated at a serving temperature of 60°C. In this study, sea mustard soup (SMS) and dried pollock soup (DPS), which have been widely known as favorable hot soups provided in a domestic hospitals and nursing homes for dysphagic patients, were thick...

The ability of pea protein isolates (PPI) to form complex coacervates with tragacanth gum was investigated. coacervate formation structurally compared three other PPI-polysaccharide interaction models: arabic and sodium alginate (known PPI) tara gum, a galactomannan. effects the pH protein/polysaccharide ratio were mainly investigated using turbidity zeta potential measurements. Regarding solub...

introduction : yoghurt is one of the most popular dairy products in all over the world.nowadays due to the tendency of consumers to use the products with healthy effects, probiotic and synbiotic products are considered. yoghurt by itself is a healthy food; because of its high levels of protein and calciumcontents.consumption ofprobiotic bacteria via food products is a way to reestablishthe inte...

In this work hybrid pectin-based biosorbents with secondary polysaccharide additives (gellan, carob and xanthan gum, ratio to pectin 1:1, 1:1 and 1:3, respectively) were obtained at two temperatures. The presence of these additives in prepared beads was confirmed by Raman spectra. The SEM micrographs show better homogeneity of blends and grater differences between structures of beads with vario...

Sugarless chewing gum is a frequently used stimulant to collect saliva samples for hormone analyses. This study tested the effect of sugarless chewing gum on cortisol, testosterone, and progesterone concentrations measured in saliva samples collected from 8 individuals at different times of the day (morning, evening) and under different collection conditions (gum, no gum) as well as in a saliva...

The problem of determining a consensus value and its uncertainty from the results of multiple methods or laboratories is discussed. Desirable criteria of a solution are presented. A solution motivated by the ISO Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement (ISO GUM) is introduced and applied in a detailed worked example. A Bayesian hierarchical model motivated by the proposed solution ...

In this work, the fractional mathematical model of an unsteady rotational flow of Xanthan gum (XG) between two cylinders in the presence of a transverse magnetic field has been studied. This model consists of two fractional parameters α and β representing thermomechanical effects. The Laplace transform is used to obtain the numerical solutions. The fractional parameter influence has been discus...

The purpose of this experiment was to find an environmentally safe herbicide using a representative chemical Acacia Gum Arabic Solution (from the Acacia sengal tree) to serve as the environmentally safe chemical to use against a representative invasive plant species (Pueraria lobata(Kudzu)). Pueraria lobata seeds were placed into a petri dish and were grown on filter paper soaked with either a ...

-----------------------------------------------------ABSTRACT----------------------------------------------------Xanthan gum is a natural polysaccharide having an industrial importance. It is commonly called as heteropolysaccharide which is produced by Xanthomonas campestris. In the present investigation Xanthan gum fermentation by local isolates of Xanthomonas campestris NRRL-B-1449 from sugar...
