twenty-four holstein male calves (bw=217±57kg) were employed to evaluate the effects of rapeseed oil supplementation on growth, carcass as well as on meat quality and fatty acid content of longissimus thoracis muscle in a completely randomized design. the calves were divided into three groups and allocated to three diets of: a corn/barley-based diet (c); a diet containing 2% (dm basis) rapeseed...

in this study, response surface methodology was used to determine the optimum raw sugar beet juice purification process conditions using bentonite to produce inverted liquid sugar. for this purpose, impact of factors on the purification process such as bentonite concentration (1-5 gr/li), ph (3.5-6) and temperature (35-95 ˚c) was investigated. for each response, a second-order polynomial model ...

This study aimed to design high-quality and safe spreadable processed cheese with a prolonged shelf life appropriate for logistic support in emergency/crisis situations, foreign missions, and/or state material reserves. Samples dry matter content (DM) of 30–55 g/100 g fat (FDM) 30–50 were produced, hermetically sealed sterilised at 120 °C 40 min. The microbiological, chemical, textural, viscoel...

cation exchange capacity and specific surface area are among some of the important soil characteristics the direct measurement of which is laborious, costly and time consuming. therefore, fractal dimension of particle size distribution has been widely studied in relation with many such dynamic and static processes as transmission of water and solutes, water holding capacity, heat storage and co...

The study was conducted to find out the effect of adding different levels sodium alginate on sensory, physicochemical, biochemical and microbiological properties fresh preserved chicken sausage. Chicken sausage samples were divided into three treatment groups: T1 (Control group), T2 (2% alginate) T3 (4% alginate). sensory qualities like color, juiciness, tenderness overall acceptability increas...

the 24 maltiparous holstein dairy cows were allocated in a completely randomized design to study the effects of different level and source of sulfur supplement in close-up diets on blood metabolites, colostrums composition and liver performance. the mean body weight of the cows was 687.9 kg and the mean days until expected calving date was 21.8 d. the first treatment (t1) has contained 0.21% su...
