The relationship between broiler breast meat color and pH, moisture content, water-holding capacity (WHC), and emulsification capacity (EC) was investigated. In each of three replicate trials, fillets were collected from three different commercial processing plants according to breast meat lightness (L*) values as follows: lighter than normal (light, L* > 53), normal (48 < L* < 53), and darker ...

microwave assisted fluidized bed drying is a novel drying technique which reduces drying time and yields higher quality products. in this study the effect of this method on color changes of whole and cut hazelnut kernels was investigated. the parameters of color and resulting total color change, chroma, hue angle and browning index were also calculated during drying in three temperatures (40, 5...

In this study, the effects of ascorbic, folic, and salicylic acid treatments on post-harvest quality losses in 'Franklin F1' Brussels sprouts stored at 4°C for 28 days were investigated. Weight loss (%), color values (L*, a*, b*), total soluble solids (TSS, %), pH, titrable acidity (TA, chlorophyll (mg/g), CO2 concentration (ppm) all measured 7-day intervals. When findings compared to control g...

This study was carried out to investigate the association of POU1F1 (POU domain, class 1, transcription factor 1, Pit1, renamed as POU1F1) gene with backfat thickness (mm), carcass weight (kg), pH, and color values (L(*), a(*), b(*)) in crossbred pigs (Landrace x Yorkshire x Duroc). Frequency of the AA genotype indel was at the highest level (66.67%). Frequency of A allele (0.81) was higher tha...

Color is commonly used in data visualization in order to convey a wide variety of types of information: metric values, pattern, extrema, emphasis, and others. A distressingly large percentage of these visualizations appear to use the default color scale for the visualization package used to create them. While sometimes this is an appropriate choice, careful consideration of the implications of ...

objective: selection of an appropriate shade of composite is critical in achieving an esthetic restoration. different systems are used to assess and describe color parameters. this study aimed to assess the effect of color and thickness of filtek supreme (fs) and premise (p) composite resins on correction of tooth discoloration.   methods: in this in vitro experimental study, 10 anterior teeth ...

Iranian medical universities choose their best researchers in each field annually. The protocols of this process have been modified quite often, but the changes were not fundamental and did not lead to all-inclusive evaluation tools. The recent article in Asia Pacific Journal of Medical Toxicology, which proposes a scoring scale for evaluation of scientist's impact called "360-degree researcher...

The effect of frying pressure on the kinetics of color changes during atmospheric and vacuum deep fat frying of Reshteh Khoshkar has been studied. The Hunter color parameters redness, yellowness, lightness and total color difference were used to estimate color changes during frying as a function of process. Lightness (L*) decreased from 85.37 to 75.01 with vacuum frying time, while redness (a*)...

Objective Vitrification has been shown as one of the most effective methods of cryopreservation for mammalian embryos. However, there is no consensus which stage of embryonic development is the most appropriate for vitrification with subsequent maximal development after thawing. This study was carried out to explore and compare the effect(s) of vitrification on mouse 2-cell, 4-cell, 8-cell, mor...
