Skim, sweet buttermilk, and butter-derived aqueous phase components were used to reemulsify low-melt butteroil into creams with a desired 20% milkfat. The implications of pasteurization process, homogenization sequence, and formulation on the physicochemical properties of reformulated and natural creams were investigated. Creams homogenized prior to pasteurization had significantly (p<0.05) gre...

The present paper reports evidence of an immunological relationship between one variety or type of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisi~e and the Type II variety of Diplococcus pn,umoni~e (Pneumococcus).

Background: Dried fruit is one of the main sources of sulphur dioxide (SO2) exposure. The major goal of the current study was to determine SO2 concentration in some widely consumed dried fruits in Hamadan, Iran. In addition, an estimate of sulphite intake was made through the aforementioned dried fruit. Methods: Totally, 126 dried fruit samples were randomly collected from local market in Hama...

background: using the sludge as fertilizer on farms is one of the options to dispose it, which due to its variety of pathogenic microorganisms, it may cause a wide range of bacterial and parasitic diseases in human and livestock. the purpose of this study is to investigate the feasibility of using dried sludge produced in municipal wastewater treatment processes to fertilize agricultural lands ...
