small precipitation with temporal and spatial variation of rainfall is the main responsible factors on flood occurrence in arid and semi arid regions. floods in their regions usually contain high concentration of sediments which when they are deposited on the surface of lands, they change the properties of soils of the area. in this research, the effect of floodwater spreading on physic-chemica...

The physico-chemical properties of water and sediments therein were analyzed for assessing the suitability of Siddheshwar dam (India) waters for irrigation purpose. The physical parameters include total dissolved solids and electrical conductivity. The chemical parameters studied include pH, free carbon dioxide, total hardness, calcium hardness, magnesium hardness, phenolphthalein alkalinity, t...

Shell eggs were irradiated and the physico-chemical, and functional properties of egg yolk and white were determined. The color of egg yolk was not affected, but the viscosity of egg white was dramatically lowered and became watery by irradiation. The foam capacity and foam stability of egg white were significantly decreased due to protein oxidation by irradiation. However, the texture characte...

Variations in texture were determined for 10 day aged raw and cooked Longissimus thoracis (LT) muscle from 436 bulls of 15 European cattle breeds slaughtered at an age of 13-16 months. Variations in texture were related to differences in pH 24 h post-mortem, sarcomere length, collagen characteristics and lipid content. The shear force of cooked meat samples varied from 43.8 to 67.4 N/cm². Simme...

tillage systems influence soil physical, chemical and biological characteristics which in turn may alter, root characteristics, growth, and development. a three year study was conducted to investigate the effects of seven tillage systems on some soil (fine-loamy mixed, typic haplocambids) physical characteristics and wheat (triticum aestivum l.) root morphology. tillage treatments included ...

There is still very limited information on the physical and chemical properties of dried distiller’s grain with solubles (DDGS) derived from wheat-based fuel ethanol production. As this coproduct become increasingly more available in Western Canada, baseline information on its properties is essential in responding to problems posed by existing processing, handling, storage, and transportation s...

background:the present study designed to test  effects of defatted soy-fortified wheat bread on the organoleptic properties as well as influences on rat growth rate. methods: defatted soy flour (dsf) was blended with wheat flour with extraction rate of 82-84% at 3, 7, and 7% levels plus 3% sugar. bread produced with these blends compared with regular taftoon bread and was tested for chemical an...

in this study, quality characteristics of incorporated burgers containing 25, 50, 75 and 100 common carp (cyprinus carpio) surimi was evaluated. accordingly, proximate composition, texture profile analysis (tpa), color, water holding capacity (whc) and sensory attributes of resulted burgers were determined. based on data, burgers containing surimi showed lower amount of protein, fat and ash com...
