Non-trivial patterns of quark and lepton masses and mixings can arise without there being any underlying flavor symmetry that distinguishes among the three families. Two realistic examples are given.

A variant of a warped extra dimension model is presented. It is based on 5D minimal flavor violation, in which the only sources of flavor breaking are two 5D anarchic Yukawa matrices. These matrices also control the bulk masses, which are responsible for the resulting flavor hierarchy. The theory flows to a next to minimal flavor violation model where flavor violation is dominantly coming from ...

Meat produced by sheep of various ages has a distinctive, species-specific aroma and flavor profile that some consumers find objectionable, particularly when some of the characteristic flavor notes are overly intense. Because these flavor notes intensify as animals become older, the term “mutton flavor” is commonly used to describe the strong, objectionable flavor that can be present in ovine m...

the aim of this study was evaluation of phytochemical components, antioxidant activity, and antibacterial effects of basil (ocimum basilicum l.) essential oil (beo) in vitro. the lipid oxidation of the meat and antibacterial effects of beo were also evaluated in beef burger product. in this empirical study, essential oil of the basil was isolated by hydrodistillation. then, beo was analyzed by ...

ABSTRACT: A combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) with headspace solid-phase micro extraction (SPME) method has been employed for the analysis of the flavor volatiles of three different rice cultivar, including two modified Iranian rice cultivars and Hashemi rice cultivar during gelatinization. The proposed combination provided a powerful system for easy and rapid screening of a...

madam, dental and oral care products are available in different flavors. though flavoring is a marketing strategy for luring consumers, its components does have benefit on oral/dental tissues. thus, it is necessary for the dental health team to advice the right flavor of products, which are palatable and equally therapeutic. this article discusses the principal types, modes of activity, benefit...

Theories where the Standard Model fields reside on a 3-brane, with a low fundamental cut-off and extra dimensions, provide alternative solutions to the gauge hierarchy problem. However, generating flavor at the TeV scale while avoiding flavor-changing difficulties appears prohibitively difficult at first sight. We argue to the contrary that this picture allows us to lower flavor physics close t...
