Introduction: Barrel cortex of rodents is responsible for sensory information processing from muzzle whiskers. Locus coeruleus (LC) as the main source of norepinephrine (NE) in the cortex, is effective on the sensory information processing. Methods: Rats were divided to 2 groups. One group underwent sensory deprivation (P4) and the other group served as control and did not undergo sensory d...

The present study was carried out to demonstrate the combined effects of different maize flour, ascorbic acid and sugar on physical, textural sensory properties composite breads. flour prepared using 70% wheat 30% obtained from grain differently colored - light blue, red yellow flour. Chemical characterization flours made with four types also assessed. Furthermore, content total phenolics, flav...

this research aims to assess the physicochemical properties, image features, textural and sensory qualities of dark chocolate made using coffee silver skin as a cocoa powder replacement which was substituted for 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% of the cocoa powder (by weight) in chocolates. the results indicated that there was significant differences between the chocolates prepared using 100% coffee skin...

to obtain an optimum formulation for stabilizers–emulsifier in ice cream, different combinations of three stabilizers, i.e. basil seed gum, guar gum, and carboxymethyl cellulose, at two concentrations of 0.15 or 0.35% with or without e471 emulsifier were studied using a simplex-centroid mixture design. the regression models for physical properties and texture smoothness of samples were also est...
