Physicochemical properties of surimi and kamaboko obtained of solubility in acid, alkaline and conventional methods were compared. The results indicated that the highest protein recovery was related to solubility in acid, alkaline and conventional methods, respectively. The highest removal of lipid and myoglobin was observed by solubility in alkali. Excretion of total pigment and sulfhydryl gro...

The effect of aqueous solutions of ascorbic acid (AA) on the rancidity development in Cobia (Rachycentron canadum) fillets during frozen storage was studied. Cobia fillets were treated with ascorbic acid (AA 0.25% and AA 0.5%) then stored at -18°C up to 6 months. Rancidity development was measured by several biochemical indices including free fatty acids (FFA), peroxide value (PV), and thiobarb...

Studies were conducted to evaluate the effects of soy protein concentrate (SPC) and Xanthan gum (X) on physical properties of surimi prepared from Silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) using various amount of soy protein concentrate (0, 5 and 10%) and xanthan gum (0, 0.25 and 0.5%) in fish paste during 3 months of frozen storage at -18ºC. Results obtained from folding test showed t...

Let A be any universal algebra. We say formula A is explicitly expressible on algebra A via system of formulas Σ, if A can be obtained on A of variables and formulas of Σ by means of superpositions. We say a system of formulas Σ is complete in A, if any formula is expressible via Σ. We say a system Σ is precomplete as to expressibility on A if Σ is not complete on A, but for any formula F , whi...

Soil moisture is a key variable in dryland ecosystems since it determines the occurrence and duration of vegetation water stress and affects the development of weather patterns including rainfall. However, the lack of ground observations of soil moisture and rainfall dynamics in many drylands has long been a major obstacle in understanding ecohydrological processes in these ecosystems. It is al...

We consider the design of a circuit description library for a pure functional language where circuits are defined as functions and connected together by writing applicative expressions. Just like the return value of any other function in a functional program, the output of a circuit can be bound to a variable and referred to many times. Usually it is the programmer’s intention that such referen...

This article discusses a new method for the construction of non-functionally expressible fuzzy implications. In a recent work, we have considered non-functionally expressible fuzzy implications from an implication function acting on the inputs followed by an aggregation process. Now, we first perform an aggregation of the inputs and then an implication function between the aggregated values. Th...
