background: dizziness as a common symptom affecting many aspects of the patient’s life and it is hard to be fully evaluated. the dizziness handicap inventory (dhi) is a reliable self-perceived questionnaire in the evaluation of dizziness impacts. the purposes of this study are translation of the dhi to persian language and measuring its psychometric properties, including face, content, discrimi...

food packaging extensively uses plastic films and containers of petroleum-based polymers for their excellent functional properties and competitive price. plastic packaging has become a central focus of waste reduction efforts, particularly in aesthetic terms of damage to flora and fauna. presently, consumers require greater quality and longer shelf lives for their foodstuffs, while they demand ...

Abstract A preliminary study has been conducted on the Physicochemical properties of irradiated cocoa beans. Polyethylene (PE) plastic was used to pack dried After that, samples were vacuumed and using gamma rays at levels dose 2 kGy, 4 6 kGy as well non-irradiated control. Physico-chemical tested, including water content, pH, activity (Aw), protein, fat, polyphenols beans, immediately after ir...

this study prepared new edible composite film by blending kefiran with whey protein. the film-forming solutions used different ratios of kefiran to whey protein (70/30, 50/50, 30/70, 10/90) and were cast at room temperature. the effects of the addition of whey protein on the physical, mechanical and water-vapor permeability (wvp) properties of the film were investigated. it was found that an in...

Modern wheat breeding programs aim to create cultivars with high genetic potential for yield and bread-making quality. Th e eff ectiveness of selection in segregating generations depends on the heritability of the traits under selection and on the correlations among traits. Th e aim of this study was to compare realized heritability of 1000 kernel weight and fi ve indirect bread-making quality ...

in order to study the effect of water deficit stress at different growth stages on yield and seed oil quality of rapeseed cultivars, a field experiment was conducted as split-plot in a randomized complete block design arrangement with three replications in 2009-2010 growing seasons in abarkouh in iran. four levels of irrigation were located in the main plot including, (i1) normal irrigation bas...

Background: Pineapple juice processing is an art of preservation, and the processing technologies play important role in pineapple juice quality. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the potential impacts of non-thermal processing methods on the physicochemical, bioactive, and microbiological properties of fresh pineapple juice. Methods: Extracted juices were subjected to several non-thermal...
