The objective of this study was to assess the impact of using heat-denatured whey:buttermilk protein aggregate in acid-set type yogurt production. Whey and buttermilk (25:75) protein concentrate was adjusted to pH 4.6, heated at 90 °C for 5 min, homogenized and freeze-dried. Set-type yogurts were prepared from skim milk standardized to 15% (w/v) total solids and 4.2% (w/v) protein using differe...

the use of chloramphenicol is prohibited in food producing animals due to its harmful and even potentially fatal side effects in human. in order to screen broiler carcasses for the drug residues, 31 broiler chickens from different farms were sampled. the samples from kidneys were homogenized, extracted using ethyl acetate and dried under n2 flow. the samples were then assayed using enzyme-linke...

"Padrón-type" peppers are a small variety of Capsicum annuum cultivated mainly in Galicia, Spain. To compare the effects of freezing and freeze-drying on the volatile components of Padrón-type peppers, preserved samples are analyzed by means of dynamic headspace sampling on an adsorbent followed by microwave desorption into a gas chromatograph equipped with a mass spectrometric detector. Sixty-...

Homogenization theory is concerned with finding the appropriate homogenized (or averaged, or macroscopic) governing partial differential equations describing physical processes occurring in heterogeneous materials when the length scale of the heterogeneities tends to zero. In such instances it is desired that the effects of the microstructure reside wholly in the macroscopic or effective proper...

The effects of zinc oxide nanorod on the barrier, sorption isotherm and antibacterial properties of tapioca starch/bovine gelatin Bionanocomposite films were investigated. The nanorod-rich ZnO (ZnO-N) was homogenized by sonication and incorporated into tapioca starch/bovine gelatin solutions at different concentrations (e.g. 0.5, 2, and 3.5% w/w dried solid). Incorporation of 3.5% of nanopartic...

the effects of nano titanium dioxide incorporation were investigated on the water vapor permeability, oxygen permeability, and antimicrobial properties of bovine gelatin films. the nano tio2 (tio2- n) was homogenized by sonication and incorporated into bovine gelatin solutions at different concentrations (e.g. 1, 2, 3, and 5% w/w of dried gelatin). the permeability of the films to water vapor a...

A study was conducted to develop a simple sequential separation protocol to separate phosvitin and IgY from egg yolk without using organic solvents. Egg yolk was diluted with 2 volumes of distilled water (DW), homogenized, and centrifuged. The precipitant was collected and homogenized with 4 volumes of 10% NaCl (wt/vol) in 0.05 N NaOH solution to extract phosvitin. The pH of the homogenate was ...
