This study was to utilize the waste from canned tuna processing (tuna precooking juice) for producing dried tuna flavor powder. Tuna precooking juice was centrifuged and concentrated to 15% total soluble solid (TSS). Maltodextrin (DE 9) was added to increase the TSS of tuna precooking concentrate to 20, 22, 24 and 26%, then dried by spray dryer at 180oC inlet air temperature. The compositions a...

Jaboticaba, a native fruit from Brazilian Atlantic Forest, is an important source of anthocyanins. Anthocyanins have been recently identified as modulators of lipid metabolism and energy expenditure 'in vivo'. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of the freeze-dried jaboticaba peel powder on obesity treatment in different experimental models. Obese Swiss mice and obese Sprague-D...

Infant feeds made up from dried milk are known to be hazardous if the mixture is too concentrated. Tests with five commercial brands of dried milk showed that nurses, midwives, and mothers often made up feeds incorrectly; in most cases the amount of powder used was excessive.Fewer mistakes would be made if scoops were standardized or, better, if the milk was made up in small, accurately weighed...

2.1.1 Aqueous extracts preparation The dried form of plant was mixed with sterile distilled water in a ration of 1:20 (100 g in 1 L solvent), and was stirred and heated for about 4 hours. After cooling, the extract was filtered by using Whatman No.1 filter paper. The filtrate was collected and frozen in ice cube container. The frozen ice cube was freeze-dried (i.e. lyophilisation) to obtain con...

A case is described of occupational asthma in a worker with no previous history of asthma who sprinkled dried metabisulphite powder onto potatoes and developed work-related symptoms. Occupational asthma was confirmed by specific inhalation challenges.

A sonochemistry-based synthesis method was used to produce nanocrystalline nickel oxide powder with ≈ 20 nm average crystallite diameter from Ni(OH)(2) precursor. Ultrasound waves were applied to the primary solution to intensify the Ni(OH)(2) precipitation. Dried precipitates were calcined at 320°C to form nanocrystalline NiO particles. The morphology of the produced powder was characterized b...

Titanium dioxide nano-particles were synthesized via the sol-gel method using titanium butoxide as the precursor. Acid catalyzed and aged gels were dried under air to produce xerogels and under supercritical conditions to produce aerogels. Porous particles obtained were characterized using X-ray diffraction, SEM and BET analysis. Aerogel powder was found to have more favorable properties compar...

The study was undertaken to evaluate some chemical parameters of powder milk available in Mymensingh town. Powder milk samples of six different brands namely Kwality, NIDO, Diploma, Anchor, Farmland & Starship were collected from local market. Powder samples were analyzed to know the chemical (P, acidity, fat, protein, lactose, ash, moisture, solids-not-fat, total solids) characteristics. P, ac...

Capsular antisera against the 72 types of Klebsiella have been prepared in rabbits by using an acetone-dried vaccine. It was shown that encapsulated cells dried with acetone and ground to a fine powder with a mortar and pestle retain their capsules. Antisera obtained from rabbits vaccinated with these vaccines had quellung titers ranging from 1:16 to 1:64. The dried vaccine was stable after sto...

The bacteriocin produced by Pediococcus acidilactici PAC 1.0, previously designated PA-1 bacteriocin, was found to be inhibitory and bactericidal for Listeria monocytogenes. A dried powder prepared from PAC 1.0 culture supernatant fortified with 10% milk powder was found to contain bacteriocin activity. An MIC against L. monocytogenes and lytic effects in broth cultures were determined. Inhibit...
