Purple potatoes were used as raw material to study the purple potato wine production process and antioxidant activity. This paper analyzed different fermentation time, fermentation temperature, yeast inoculum, initial pH, the initial sugar content on alcohol and anthocyanin contents of purple potato wine by single factor experiments and response surface methodology(RSM). The results showed that...

BACKGROUND The oral health education programs which have been organised and delivered in Tanzania were not based on a thorough understanding of behaviours which influence oral health. Therefore, evaluation of these programs became difficult. This study aimed at investigating the oral health related behaviours and their determinants among Tanzanian adults. METHODS A national pathfinder cross s...

In Brazil the sugar ethanol industry has had strong growth in the last 10 years, sometimes due to the growing sugar exportation, sometimes due to the alcohol production for automobile fuel and for exportation. Despite the growing mechanization of the raw material harvest (sugar cane), the manual work still persists. The development of this article was based in the application of the OCRA Method...

In the German beverage market, a shift in consumption has become apparent recent decades: away from alcoholic beverages and towards non-alcoholic alternatives. This indicates tradeoff between two important nutritionally relevant substances: alcohol sugar. review, therefore, addresses question of significance these developments to wine industry, where wines sparkling are becoming increasingly im...

This study examined whether sensitivity to reward predicts a range of potentially healthdamaging behaviours. Secondary objectives were to explore the relationship between these behaviours and sensitivity to punishment. Sensitivity to reward and punishment were assessed among 184 individuals using questionnaire measures of Behavioural Approach System (BAS) and Behavioural Inhibition System (BIS)...

The fragmentation mechanisms of monolignols under various energetic processes are studied with jet-cooled thermal desorption molecular beam (TDMB) mass spectrometry (MS), 25 keV Bi(3)(+) secondary ion MS (SIMS), synchrotron vacuum-ultraviolet secondary neutral MS (VUV-SNMS) and theoretical methods. Experimental and calculated appearance energies of fragments observed in TDMB MS indicate that th...

The scope of the triphenylsilyl perrhennate (O3ReOSiPh3, 1) catalyzed 1,3-isomerization of allylic alcohols has been thoroughly explored. It was found to be effective for a wide variety of secondary and tertiary allylic alcohol substrates bearing aryl, alkyl, and cyano substituents. Two general reaction types were found which gave high levels of product selectivity: those driven by formation of...

lution property of poorly water soluble drugs. In general, solid dispersion is prepared with water soluble polymer, such as polyethylene glycol (PEG) or polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as carrier, to disperse the drug molecules in the polymer matrix. Recently, the porous materials were also used as a carrier to disperse the drug molecules in the pores. We have already reported that the solid dispers...
