Today, various methods have been developed to reduce the cost and time needed for the preparation and production of bread. One of these methods is using baking premixes to increase ease and create uniformity for bread quality. This research was carried out with the aim of investigating the possibility of producing baking premixes to improve quality and delay the staling of Baguette and Barbary...

nowadays, quality control of bread, especially in large scale production, requires application of novel methods. in this research, image analysis of digital images of barbary bread enriched with soy flour was carried out at two storage intervals. using imagej software, crumb features (mean cell area and void fraction) were computed for each image. fractal dimensions of bread crumb images were m...

the effect of xanthan hydrocolloid (0.1 and 0.5% w/w of flour) on physical and sensory properties of the fresh and stored barbary bread were studied. effects of hydrocolloids on physical properties of baked bread were determined by different tests of: penetration, colorimetry (hunter values) of crust and differential scanning colorimetry (dsc). sensory evaluation also was carried out for determ...

application of additives is one of the proper solutions in quality enhancement in bakery products such as gluten matrix promotion, softness and unity of the texture and delay in staling which are effectives on shelf life and marketability of the bread. so the aim of this study was to investigate the synergistic effect of datem, ssl and e471 as an emulsifier in level of 0.2% and 0.5% humectants ...

The barbary stag is an intermediate feeder ruminant of the Cervidae family. The macroscopic anatomy of the stomach in one adult barbary stag was described. The stomach of the barbary stag was composed of the four classic compartments of the ruminants. The weight of the full stomach was 10.5 Kg. The ruminal papillae were distributed unevenly in the rumen. The maximum height of the cristae reticu...

Barbary macaques live in extreme temperate environments characterized by strongly seasonal resource availability. They are mainly terrestrial while foraging, harvesting food from the herbaceous layer. These monkeys are threatened mainly because of anthropogenic habitat degradation. We studied the adaptive capacities of wild groups of Barbary macaques that lived in different cedar forests underg...

This study provides an overview of the vocalizations of Barbary macaques, Macaca sylvanus. Spectrographic displays of calls are presented along with photographs of the accompanying facial gestures. We give a general description of the contexts in which the different calls are uttered, with special regard to the age and sex of the caller. The vocal repertoire of Barbary macaques mainly consists ...

AIM This study is part of an active surveillance program for monitoring animal health status in endangered species, and was conducted to screen captive Barbary sheep (Ammotragus lervia) for hemoplasma infection. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 12 blood samples were collected, DNA extracted and further tested by a pan-hemoplasma polymerase chain reaction protocol. RESULTS Animals were clini...

The Barbary macaque, Macaca sylvanus is a very adaptable primate species occupying a wide range of habitats in Morocco and Algeria. Several groups of this endangered macaque can be found in tourist sites, where they are affected by the presence of visitors providing food to them. We compare the activity budgets and the diet of semiprovisioned and wild-feeding groups of Barbary macaques in the c...

The muscularis mucosae and condensed fibrous layer of the ruminant forestomach were studied by immunohistochemistry using specific antibodies against alpha-smooth muscle actin (alphaSMA) and gamma-smooth muscle actin (gammaSMA). The specimens were collected from the rumen, reticulum and omasum of cattle, water buffalo, sheep, goat, Barbary sheep, Japanese serow, sika deer and mouse deer. The mu...
