the application of conductive coatings on ferritic stainless steel can decrease electrical conductivity. theaim of this research was to investigate the electrical conductivity of cobalt coated aisi 430 ferritic stainlesssteel by pack cementation technique. coated coupons were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy(sem). electrical conductivity of the coated substrates was measured as a fun...

OBJECTIVE Identifying at what age infants enrolled in public day care centers are introduced to soft drinks and industrialized juice, as well as comparing the nutritional composition of these goods with natural fruit juice. METHODS A cross-sectional study with the mothers of 636 children (aged 0 to 36 months) from nurseries of day care centers, who were asked questions about the age of feedin...

There have been very limited reports on the effects of commercial fruit juices on human CYP3A activity. Therefore, the inhibitory effects of readily available commercial fruit juices on midazolam 1'-hydroxylase activity, a marker of CYP3A, were evaluated in pooled human liver microsomes. The fruit juices investigated were black raspberry, black mulberry, plum, and wild grape. White grapefruit, ...

background: selling unpasteurized fruit juices is common in iran. since health standards are not met in preparation and distribution of these products, food infections may increase. the objective of this study was to assess microbial contamination of handmade fruit juices in gorgan, iran. methods: this cross-sectional study was conducted in the first half of 2009. overall, 100 carrot and cantal...

Pectin rich fruit juices need enzymatic treatment for clarification. As fruits are rich in pectin, pectinolytic treatment can efficiently reduce viscosity resulting in clarified fruit juice. Enzymatic treatment of mango pulp results in 80% recovery of total juice present in the fruit. Use of pectin degrading polygalacturonases increases both fruit juice extraction and clarification. Polygalactu...

BACKGROUND AND AIM Recently, considerable attention has been given to beverage intake as a source of calories which may be linked to pediatric obesity. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the beverage intake in school children and adolescents aged 7 to 15 years old. METHODS Six hundred and seven (607) out of 655 children participated in the study. One hundred percent fruit juice were cla...

background: lack of sanitation during storage, transmission, processing and consuming the food can cause early corruption and create economical losses and cause infectious diseases in consumers. in this study, available fruit juices in ilam shopping centres were investigated in 1389 to identify the presence of escherichia coli and the coliform number, aerobic bacteria, staphylococcus aurous, mo...

Purpose. Potato fruit juice, a residue of starch industry, contains up to 2.5% [w/w] of proteins that are potentially valuable raw-materials of food, cosmetic, and pharma industries. The recovery of protein from the potato fruit juice is limited by the lack of industrially feasible concentration and separation technologies. The present research thus aimed at development of such process for the ...

Pomegranate juice is a polyphenol-rich fruit juice with high antioxidant capacity. In limited studies in human and murine models, pomegranate juice has been shown to exert significant antiatherogenic, antioxidant, antihypertensive, and anti-inflammatory effects. Pomegranate juice significantly reduced atherosclerotic lesion areas in immune-deficient mice and intima media thickness in cardiac pa...

Knowledge of the dielectric properties of commodities and insect pests is important in developing thermal treatments for postharvest insect control based on radio frequency (RF) and microwave energy. The dielectric properties of six subtropical and tropical fruits along with four associated insect pests were measured between 1 and 1800 MHz using an open-ended coaxial-line probe technique and at...
