COVID-19 and the increase in degenerative diseases are reasons for high consumption of functional foods. This study investigated physicochemical, sensory, characteristics cheese enhanced with orthodox black tea. The primary research materials were 40 liters fresh cow’s milk, tea (OBT), mesophilic bacteria ( Lactococcus lactis ), animal calf rennet, CaCl₂. An experimental completely randomized d...

We investigated seven distance measures in a set of observations of physicochemical variables of mango (Mangifera indica) submitted to multivariate analyses (distance, projection and grouping). To estimate the distance measurements, five mango progeny (total of 25 genotypes) were analyzed, using six fruit physicochemical descriptors (fruit weight, equatorial diameter, longitudinal diamete...

Bacteria from rhizosphere (Bacillus pumilus) and endorhizophere (Pseudomonas pseudoalcaligenes) of rice plant were isolated and evaluated for their effect on the growth-promotion efficiency on rice in greenhouse. Ability to solubilize phosphate, siderophore, indoleacetic acid (IAA), gibberellin production and utilization of ACC (1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate) as sole nitrogen source were ev...

The postharvest life of mango is limited by the development of pathogens, especially fungi that cause rot, among which stands out the Lasiodiplodia theobromae. Several control methods have been employed to minimize the damages caused by this fungus, chemical control can leave residues to man and nature; physical control by the use of gamma radiation in combination with modified atmosphere and c...

This study was carried out to investigate the physiochemical properties of local honey collected from different flora of Gilgit-Baltistan namely: Herbal, Acacia and Berry, promoted by some local honeybee keepers who are supposed to be famous for quality honey produce. The physicochemical parameters like moisture content, pH, titratable acidity, total sugars, reducing sugar and non-reducing suga...

An acidic intravenous source of phosphorus (Addiphos) was compared with dipotassium hydrogen phosphate in 25 preterm infants to study acid-base state. Eight infants were given either Addiphos or dipotassium hydrogen phosphate alternately for 48 hour periods and similar amounts of calcium and phosphorus were delivered. There were no significant differences in calcium and phosphorus intake, calci...

Mastitis is an inflammatory reaction of the mammary tissue in response to the introduction and multiplication of pathogens and is characterized by increasing somatic cell count (SCC) in milk. The main objective of present study is to assess the probable associations between somatic cell (SC) levels and calcium and phosphorus and ratio of Ca/P in raw milk. Milk samples were collected from indivi...

Clarified and standardized apple juice was ultraviolet-irradiated to inactivate polyphenol oxidase enzyme and microbiota, and its effect on bioactive compounds and stability during storage was also evaluated. Apple juice was irradiated with 345.6 J/cm² and treatment effect was evaluated in terms of color, antioxidant capacity, polyphenol content, pH, titratable acidity and total soluble solids....

The chemical and sensory profiles of 12 commercial samples of makgeolli, a Korean rice wine, were determined using descriptive sensory, chemical, and volatile components analyses. The sample wines were analysed for their titratable acidity, ethanol content, pH, Hunter colour value and total reducing sugars. The chemical compositions of the makgeolli samples were found to be significantly differ...
