ABSTRACT: Vacuum deep-fat frying is a new technology that can be used to improve the quality attributes of fried food because of the low temperatures employed and minimal exposure to oxygen. In this paper the effect of frying process parameters, namely frying time, frying temperature and pressure on the quality factors of fried kiwi slices was studied. A laboratory scale vacuum frying apparatus...

Fixed drug eruption (FDE) is a common hypersensitivity reaction characterized by recurrent, well-circumscribed, erythematous patches that arise at the same site as a result of systemic drug exposure. However, fixed food eruption (FFE), a lesion triggered by food ingestion, is a rare allergy that was first defined in 1996. Based on their anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties, the fruit a...

”The most difficult thing with ideas is not to have them. It’s to find out if they’re good [1].” This position paper demonstrates the requirements for an idea management application and presents the idea management tool Ideator. The Ideator is a software tool which is currently under development and which offers innovative and flexible solutions to idea management in company environments. It is...

Abstract Background Captive rearing is often critical for animals that are vulnerable to extinction in the wild. However, few studies have investigated extent which captivity impacts hosts and their gut microbiota, despite mounting evidence indicating host health affected by microbes. We assessed influence of on microbiome Brown Kiwi ( Apteryx mantelli ), a flightless bird endemic New Zealand. ...
