Studies have shown that oxygenated compounds and TSS are important in food products. It seems that cultivars have a profound influence on these factors. The goal of the present study is to investigate on flavor components and juice quality parameters of two mandarin cultivars. In the last week of January 2012, at least 10 mature fruit were collected and their peel oil was extracted using cold-p...

On-farm instruments for assessing colostrum quality are needed in order to ensure that the calf is supplied with enough IgG to avoid failure of passive transfer. The aim of this study was to evaluate methods for estimating the IgG concentration in cows' colostrum. This research included 126 colostrum samples from 21 Danish farms with different breeds, ensuring a broad variation pattern in IgG, ...

Optical interferometry is widely used in many precision measurements such as displacement[1, 2], vibration[3, 4], surface roughness[5, 6], and optical properties[7-14] of the object. For example, holographic interferomter [1-3] can be used to measure the surface topography of the rigid object. The emulsion side of the photographic plate faces the object and is illuminated by a plane wave at nor...

AIM To evaluate the intra-operator repeatability in healthy subjects using the WAM-5500 auto-kerato/refractometer and the iTrace aberrometer, to compare the refractive values and the subjective refraction obtained with both devices and to determine which of these three spherocylindrical corrections allows the subject to achieve the best visual comfort. METHODS Forty-two non-presbyopic healthy...

Using the technology of metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), fully fiber refractometers based on lossy mode resonance (LMR) were obtained and investigated. The sensors are made basis a section optical etched to core with films titanium dioxide (TiO2) tin (TiO2/SnO2) deposited side surface. sensitivity refractive index surrounding liquid medium is compared depending composition thickn...
