interaction of menthol with polyethylene terephthalate bottles during storage time was tested at three different temperatures. menthol is a mint flavor agent added to yogurt drinks in iran and is considered as a factor affecting consumer acceptance. absorption of menthol to packaging material could cause a loss of quality in the final product due to diminished flavor intensity. tests were done ...

We present a quantitative method for identification of the dynamic range of the detectable absorption coefficient in the analysis of transmission terahertz (THz) time-domain spectroscopy data. In transmission measurements the largest detectable absorption coefficient is determined by the dynamic range of the THz signals, whereas in reflection measurements the largest detectable absorption coeff...

Predictions of the absorption of focused finite amplitude waves based on weak shock theory have been tested experimentally. The characteristics of this absorption are qualitatively different from those associated with small signal losses. Under appropriate conditions, the absorption of finite amplitude ultrasound is determined largely by source amplitude, field geometry, and the nonlinear prope...

We present a method for the determination of the absorption coefficient of turbid media in a broad wavelength range with high spectral resolution using a dual step method. First, the reduced scattering coefficient is determined for a few wavelengths with spatially resolved reflectance measurements. The reduced scattering coefficient for the intermediate wavelengths is interpolated by fitting a ...
