In preparation for defecation clarification of raw or mixed juice, the juice is screened, heated, limed and flashed, while the flowrate of juice to the clarification process is carefully controlled. Despite the potential for enhancement or optimisation in each.of these pre-treatment areas, the past 50 years of South African Sugar Technologists' Association (SAST~) proceedings offer only six pap...

The Relation of the Anti-Stiffness Factor to Collagen Disease and Calcinosis The " anti-stiffness factor " is a fat-soluble vitamin whichregulatesphosphorus metabolism. The object of this communication is to report studies on the possible relations of the anti-stiffness factor to human disease. Since none of the work on the anti-stiffness factor has appeared in journals devoted to clinical matt...

Background and Objectives: Recognizing the impurities of sugar beet and also comparing different methods of juice purification have shown that the chemical purification based on lime and carbon dioxide is really efficient and economic in the sugar industry. Factories have to control and improve purification stages to achieve clear juice with high chemical purity, low color, minimum hardness, su...

Accepted: 21/03/2014 Abstract Enzymes are an integral component of modern fruit juice manufacturing processes. Their main functions are to: increase extraction of juice from raw material, increase processing efficiency (pressing, solid settling or removal), and generate a final product that is clear and visually attractive. Juice extraction can be done by using various mechanical processes, whi...

Ultra-high pressure homogenisation (UHPH) is a recently developed technology and is still under study to evaluate its effect on different aspects of its application to food products. The aim of this research work was to evaluate the effect of UHPH treatments on quality characteristics of apple juice such as antioxidant capacity, polyphenol composition, vitamin C and provitamin A contents, in co...

Dextran is one of the by-products of sour-storage rot of sugar cane (Egan, 1971). The presence of dextran in cane juice entering the mill has many deleterious effects on raw sugar processing and quality (Foster, 1969a,b; Henderson, 1971; Foster and Wright, 1969; Leonard and Richards, 1969). Hence, the removal of the polysaccharide from juice may alleviate these effects. Physico-chemical methods...

In 1941 Wulzen and Bahrs (1) reported a characteristic muscular stiffness at the wrist among guinea pigs on a skim milk diet, which progressed in intensity over a period of months. Autopsies of deficient animals revealed extensive calcification throughout the muscles and internal organs. Raw cream fed by mouth was found to alleviate the wrist stiffness within a few days, although disappearance ...

ment which play an important role in the liabi lity of the disease in adults do not come into force in connection with infancy. Prevalent Season.?July to September, this corresponds with the seasonal influence as it affects the disease in adults. (This applies mainly to India.) Source of Infection.?This, a highly important factor, is one that ought to be more easily solved in the case of infant...

The existence of a fat-soluble dietary factor essential for guinea pig nutrition was well established through investigations by Wulzen and Bahrs (l-3) and has been confirmed by Anderson and Caldwell.’ The isolation of a highly active fraction from raw cream, capable of alleviating an induced stiffness in guinea pigs, was described by van Wagtendonk and Wulzen (4). It seems apparent from physiol...
