Corrections to “Recipe development and preparations” Approximately 50 g of uncooked bitter melon per one cup (250 ml) of raw ingredients was added to each dish, except curry dish. The curry dish does not have any other ingredients besides bitter melon and therefore contained approximately 61 g of bitter melon per onehalf cup (125 ml). Each of the raw ingredients in these recipes (except the cur...

The fatty liver of mule ducks (i.e., French "foie gras") is the most valuable product in duck production systems. Its quality is measured by the technological yield, which is the opposite of the fat loss during cooking. The purpose of this study was to determine whether biochemical measures of fatty liver could be used to accurately predict the technological yield (TY). Ninety-one male mule duc...

Introduction Auto-ignition of cooking oils causes a significant proportion of household fires [1,2]. In addition, the majority of the 50% of all accidental fires in hotels, restaurants and fast food outlets that start in kitchens involve liquid cooking oil or fat as the primary ignition source [3,4]. The potential risk of loss of life and property damage due to cooking oils fires is high. Cooki...

The present study was undertaken with the objective to determine the nature and magnitude of variability, degree of association between yield and it`s component characters and their direct, indirect effects on grain yield in rice (Oryza sativa L.). Thirty three genotypes were evaluated for identifying their efficiency with respect to 20 yield and quality traits. High heritability with high gene...

In this work the total vitamin C contents (ascorbic acid+dehydroascorbic acid) and antioxidant activity of raw and cooked chestnuts was evaluated. The vitamin C contents of raw chestnuts varied significantly between the different cultivars (cv) studied and it varied from 400mg/kg dry weight (cv Lada) to 693mg/kg dry weight (cv Martaínha). The different cultivars behave differently during the co...

determination of the body composition weight due to the growing ostrich farms in iran is a beneficial subject. it is so important for dependent industries to know the effects of sex and slaughter conditions on carcass quality. in present study, the mean value for hot yield (55.93%) was higher than cold yield (54.70%). blood, feather and skin were evaluated as the maximum and the hide as the min...

Investigation was carried out at the Agricultural research Institute, Hyderabad, during kharif 2018-19 with objective of assessing trait association and direct indirect effects yield quality related traits on grain in fifty rice (Oryza sativa L.) genotypes. Among eighteen characters, panicle length, 1000-grain weight, kernel L/B ratio, length after cooking elongation ratio had positive highly s...

An epidemiological study was conducted in the market town of March, Cambridgeshire, to assess the quantitative importance of cooking and table salt to total dietary salt intake by the use of a fused mixture of lithium carbonate and sodium chloride. Men and women aged 20-60 participated in a 12 day study with sequential 24 h urine collections to assess salt sources over a 7 day period. Total sal...
