In this paper, we emphasize our long series of experiments proving that the physical processes along fluid interfaces can be exploited for creating unusual fluidic objects. We report for the first time a couple of new fluidic objects so-called “liquid onions” and “mayonnaise” droplets. The study starts from the observation of antibubbles, exhibiting unstable liquid–air–liquid interfaces. We sho...

Štern P., pokorný J., Šedivá A., Panovská Z. (2008): Rheological and sensory characteristics of yoghurt-modified mayonnaise. Czech J. Food Sci., 26: 190–198. Rheological and textural characteristics were studied in a set of 11 samples of yoghurt-modified mayonnaise at 15, 20, and 25°C. The rheometer Rheostress 300 was used to determine the static yield value, apparent viscosity, thixotropy, and...

Both carcinogenic and anticarcinogenic properties have been reported for the synthetic antioxidants butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT). The association between dietary intake of BHA and BHT and stomach cancer risk was investigated in the Netherlands Cohort Study (NLCS) that started in 1986 among 120,852 men and women aged 55 to 69 years. A semi-quantitative food f...

[ABSTRACT] To confirm the safety and efficacy of a low-calorie mayonnaise supplemented with phytosterol esters (PEM) at a daily consumption dose of 884 mg given for 12 weeks with the goal of lowering serum low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels, we conducted a double-blind comparative study in healthy adults with marginally high serum levels of LDL cholesterol and total cholesterol us...

Between 27 January and 7 February 2002, 12 cases of Salmonella Potsdam infection were notified to NSW Health of which nine were residents of the Hunter Health Area. Interviews with two cases notified by two local doctors initiated the investigation and revealed exposure to foods from the same restaurant (restaurant A). All New South Wales S. Potsdam cases, those accompanying cases to restaurant...

Data concerning the prevalence and populations of Salmonella in foods implicated in outbreaks may be important to the development of quantitative microbial risk assessments of individual food products. In this sense, the objective of the present study was to assess the amount of Salmonella sp. in different foods implicated in foodborne outbreaks in Rio Grande do Sul occurred in 2005 and to char...

Salmonellosis is one of the main causes of foodborne illnesses worldwide, with outbreaks predominately linked to contamination of eggs and raw egg products, such as mayonnaise. This review explores previous studies that have investigated Salmonella control mechanisms utilized in the production of raw egg mayonnaise and other food products. Apart from the use of pasteurized eggs, the main contro...
