The physical and functional properties of seven parboiled rice cultivars (Jehlum, K-332, Koshar, Pusa-3, SKAU-345, SKAU-382 and SR-1) were investigated at different soaking temperatures of 60 ̊C, 70 ̊C and 80 ̊C and it was compared with the brown raw rice of the respective cultivars. Parboiling was observed to decrease L* value and increase a* and b* values. The hardness of rice was significantly ...

The major component of tomato processing industry wastes is seed. Samples of tomato (Petomech var.) pomace from industries of São Paulo state submitted to Hot and Cold Break treatments, were spontaneously fermented and washed to separate seeds. The oils were analysed for specific gravity, iodine and saponifícation numbers, refractive index, viscosity and fatty acid composition. Except for sapon...

OBJECTIVE To assess the effect of Danqi Huogan Capsule in protecting the liver, promoting the circulation and removing blood clots in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB). METHODS A total of 104 CHB patients were randomized into two groups. Routine therapies for liver protection were given in the control group (n=50), and Danqi Huogan Capsule was administered in the therapeutic group (n=54...

Cellulose/chitosan homogeneous solutions were prepared in 1-ethyl-3methylimidazolium acetate ([EMIM]Ac) ionic liquid. Steady and oscillatory dynamic rheological properties were studied with a Haake Mars-ΙΙΙ rotational rheometer. Rheological results show that cellulose/chitosan [EMIM]Ac solutions are a pseudoplastic liquid, and the viscosity of the solution decreases with increasing of chitosan ...

Synthesis of random copolyester bearing 4-arylidene curcumin M 1 in the polymer backbone was prepared by solution polycondensation method. The influence of copolyester bearing 4-arylidene curcumin M 1 unit on the properties of copolyester such as inherent viscosity, solubility, and thermal stability was investigated and studied in detail. The inherent viscosity and polydispersity index of the c...

Based on expansions with only two coefficients and known critical points, we consider a minimal model of phenomena. The method analysis is both based inspired the symmetry properties functional self-similarity relation between consecutive approximations. Factor approximants are applied together various natural optimization conditions non-perturbative nature. role control parameter played by ind...

abstract statement of problem: the viscosity of orthodontics adhesive primers is crucial for stability and correct brackets ‘position during bond up. an excessive adhesive flow during brackets seating could change the brackets’ position. objectives: the main purpose of this study was to investigate the viscosity of four orthodontic adhesive primers in two different temperatures. materials and m...

mold powders used in the continuous casting of steel contain the harmful caf2 as a main substance developing toxic gases such as sif4 and hf at elevated temperatures. in this study, three samples of i1, i2 and i3, which contained gypsum free portland cement clinker with different percentages of fe2o3 (5.68, 6.83, 8.02 ) and f- (2.09, 1.06, 0), were prepared and their main characteristics were c...

in this work, artificial neural network (ann) was utilized to develop a new model for the predictionof the kinematic viscosity of petroleum fractions. this model was generated as a function oftemperature (t), normal boiling point temperature (tb), and specific gravity (s). in order to developthe new model, different architectures of feed-forward type were examined. finally, the optimumstructure...

This study was conducted at the laboratories of chemistry Department / College Science/ Al-Nahrain University, Iraq. The primary determinants edible oils' acceptance, preferred uses, and market value are their purity stability. Therefore, goal this to measure some a set physical chemical properties for four (canola oil, sunflower corn oil olive pomace oil) before using .The main physico-chemica...
