AIM To study the effects of combinations of fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.), garlic (Allium sativum), and black pepper (Piper nigrum) powder supplementation on production traits of broiler chickens. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 288 commercial broiler chicks were randomly assigned to 1-9 groups with 4 replicates each. An experiment was conducted in broilers with different feed for...

In one form of powder methods, the powder is compressed in a die and subsequently sintered. The final dimensions are determined by the powder, die, compaction pressure, and sintering densification cycle. The higher the compaction pressure, the higher the final density and properties. Minimal densification occurs in sintering if the powders are large and the sintering temperature is low. This is...

this study was designed to investigate the effects of different levels of tarragon powder on general performance and anetometric, properties of digestive system of male broiler chickens. 200 one-day-old ross 308 male broiler chickens in a completely randomized design with 4 treatments and 5 replicates per treatment and 10 birds in each replicate were used. experimental diets were set on the bas...

this paper describes day-one beamlines of the iranian light source facility and design concept of powder diffraction and spectromicroscopy beamlines as the most priorities of each synchrotron that cover the research requirements in the fields of physics, chemistry, nano-science, etc. for powder diffraction beamline energy range is 6-30 kev, resolution: 10-4, flux: 1012(ph/s/0.1%b.w.) and spot s...

The safety of krill powder was assessed in a subchronic 13-week toxicity study where rats were fed krill powder or control diets. The krill powder inclusion in the test diet was 9.67% (w/w). There were no differences noted in body weight or food consumption in either gender. Differences in clinical chemistry values were noted in the krill powder-treated animals, but these findings were of no to...

To detect urea content in milk powder, a nonlinear chemical fingerprint technique was developed. In our study, Belousov-Zhabotinsky oscillatory chemical reaction (B-Z) was performed using milk powder and malonic acid as main dissipative substances. The same dosage of milk powder with or without artificially added urea was introduced to “H+ + Ce4+ + 3 BrO − + malonic acid” oscillating system, re...

This study was conducted to investigate the physical and sensory properties of ice cream containing fermented pepper powder. Three ice cream formulas were manufactured: 1, control; 2, supplemented with 0.1% fermented pepper powder; and 3, supplemented with 0.2% fermented pepper powder. Formulas 2 and 3 had significantly higher viscosity and lower overrun than formula 1 (p<0.05). Additionally, i...

In this work three capsule-based dry powder inhalers, available for generics product development, were compared. Two technologically different dry powder formulations were used in order to relate the capsule piercing position and motion in the device to their aerodynamic performance. A "pierce and inhale" design, in which the capsules pierced with RS01, HandiHaler or Turbospin devices were aero...

Silkworm powder containing 1-deoxynojirimycin (DNJ) has α-glucosidase inhibitory activity and is promising as a complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) agent in Japan. Silkworm powder produced in Korea was extracted with 75% ethanol. The extract was derivatized with 9-fluorenylmethyl chloroformate (FMOC-Cl), and DNJ-FMOC content was measured by HPLC. Then, alfa-glucosidase inhibition by si...

A mixture of powdered compounds added to dough or cake mixture to make it rise in cooking. It is used as a substitute for yeast in bread-making. Baking powders consist of a source of carbon dioxide, such as sodium hydrogencarbonate or ammonium hydrogencarbonate, and an acidic substance such as calcium hydrogenphosphate, potassium hydrogentartrate (cream of tartar), or sodium hydrogenphosphate. ...
