Ingredients such as ascorbic acid used to preserve redness of the raw meat, and carnosine and ribose used for flavor improvement have been incorporated into minced meats to increase consumer acceptance. The objective of this study was to investigate the possible synergistic effect of ascorbic acid, carnosine, and ribose on the sensory and physico-chemical characteristics of minced bison meat. S...

the effect of pre-treatments in combination with hot air, vacuum and hot-a microwave drying methods the progress of the drying process, and textural, and colour and rehydration rate on button mushroom (agaricus bisporus) slices were investigated. in this work, one of the following methods: hot air, vacuum drying or microwave-assisted convective drying and also different pre-drying treatments, v...

Four soybean meals (SBM) were prepared in a commercial solvent-extraction plant to give a much wider range in heat treatment than is usually found among commercially available SBM. The meals were designated in ascending order of heat treatment as Under, Normal, Over and Rumen Escape. The Normal meal was processed using standard operating conditions. The Under meal received less heat treatment b...

Carotenoids are gaining growing interest in food industries due to their nutritional and colorant properties. The objectives of this study were to extract carotenoids from carrots with supercritical CO2 (SC-CO2) and to evaluate the antioxidant activity of the crude carrot oil extract and color of the carrot residue. Crude carrot oil was extracted from freeze-dried carrots with SC-CO2 at differe...

barley is a kind of cereal that contains high amounts of β-glucan. β-glucan is a major component of soluble fiber implicated in hypocholesterolemia, hypoglycemia, diabetes and heart attacks. investigations show that hull-less barley has more β-glucan than hulled barley. in this study the physical and chemical properties of hull-less barley (ehds 18), wheat (zarrin) varitiese, barley flour, and ...

The Uster ® High Volume Instrument (HVI ®) is used in the U.S. to classify cotton, including cotton color. The cotton color parameters measured on the HVI are Rd (diffuse reflectance) and +b (yellow-ness). Comments from industry have indicated that some cotton bales appeared to have changed significantly in +b (yellowness) from their initial HVI color measurements. As a result of these reports,...

Crossbreeding of Holstein–Friesian dairy cows with both early maturing (e.g. Aberdeen Angus (AA)) and late maturing (e.g. Belgian Blue (BB)) beef breeds is commonly practised. In Ireland, genetic merit for growth rate of beef sires is expressed as expected progeny difference for carcass weight (EPDCWT). The objective of this study was to compare the progeny of Holstein–Friesian cows, sired by A...

Two hundred forty heifers were fed at Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, OK, in 1 of 2 treatment groups: a dry rolled corn (CON) diet or a diet including 30% wet distillers grains plus solubles (WDGS). Chuck rolls (n = 60) and paired strip loins (n = 75 pairs; 38 CON and 37 WDGS) were collected from each treatment group and processed at 3 d and 14 d, respectively. After grinding, each chu...

carotenoids are the main pigments of tomato, of which 93% is lycopene. lycopene has desirable physiological effects in human sush as cancer prevention. recent years, because of harmful side effects of synthetic colouring agents used in food products, employing of natural food colouring agents has become very important. in this research firstly, solvent extraction method was used for tomato caro...
