Lipid damages were studied during a prolonged storage of canned fish. Albacore tuna was processed at two sterilization conditions (115°C, 74 min; 120°C, 40 min) and then stored up to six years. Analyses (lipid oxidation and hydrolysis, browning, fluorescent compounds formation) were achieved on the lipids extracted from the white muscle of the fish and on the packing oils. Muscle lipids were pa...

This randomized, controlled trial examined the effects of canned pineapple consumption on immunomodulation, nutritional status, and physical health of ninety-eight (98) school children with mean age of 8.44 ± 0.20. The study participants were divided into three groups: Group A (33) includes subjects who were not given canned pineapple, Group B (33) includes those who were given 140 g, and Group...

Mercury (Hg) was determined in Thunnus albacares canned in oil (from 7 to 10 samples per brand) and water (from 5 to 10 samples per brand) of five leading brands in Mexico in 2008. Potential health risk was estimated on the basis of Hg concentration and rate (1.43 kg year(-1)per capita) of tuna consumption in Mexico. Highest Hg concentrations were 0.51 ± 0.26 and 0.40 ± 0.24 μ gg(-1) dry weight...

Vegetables may be preserved by fermentation, direct acidification, or a combination of these, along with pasteurization, to yield products with an extended shelf life and enhanced safety.  Effect of lowering the pH, either by adding acid or lactic fermentation, on thermal process requirements for canned vegetables was investigated. Malic acid was preferred for acidification of canned vegetables...

This paper describes SimpleNLG, a realisation engine for English which aims to provide simple and robust interfaces to generate syntactic structures and linearise them. The library is also flexible in allowing the use of mixed (canned and noncanned) representations.

IDDRA Ltd Analysis of the impact on ACP countries of opening up the EU import market for canned tuna 1 Abstract In mid-2003 ACP canned tuna producers lost a degree of their comparative advantage over the larger Asian producers when the EU, abiding by a WTO ruling, assigned Thailand, the Philippines and Indonesia a 25,000 tonnes import quota of reduced tariff canned tuna. Protected by zero-rated...
