microwave assisted fluidized bed drying is a novel drying technique which reduces drying time and yields higher quality products. in this study the effect of this method on color changes of whole and cut hazelnut kernels was investigated. the parameters of color and resulting total color change, chroma, hue angle and browning index were also calculated during drying in three temperatures (40, 5...

purpose: to assess orbital color doppler ultrasonography (cdu) parameters of patients with manifest hyperopia in comparison to the emmetropes methods: forty eyes of 40 patients presenting with manifest hyperopia were included into the study. forty eyes of 40 emmetropes healthy volunteers also were examined as the control group. we have evaluated ophthalmic artery (oa), central retinal artery (c...

conclusions our study showed that ultrasonography findings can be a good predictor of sperm parameters in patients with varicocele. results the semen analysis parameters, including semen volume and sperm morphology, count, and motility, significant correlations with the diameter of the varicocele vein but were not correlated with testes size. in addition, the patients with reflux of longer than...

among the different classes of physical properties of foods, color is considered the most important visual attribute in quality perception. consumers tend to associate color with quality due to its good correlation with physical, chemical and sensorial evaluations of food quality. this study used an inexpensive method to predict sweet cherries color parameters by combining image processing and ...

The effect of frying pressure on the kinetics of color changes during atmospheric and vacuum deep fat frying of Reshteh Khoshkar has been studied. The Hunter color parameters redness, yellowness, lightness and total color difference were used to estimate color changes during frying as a function of process. Lightness (L*) decreased from 85.37 to 75.01 with vacuum frying time, while redness (a*)...

introduction:expensive chemical tests are usuallyapplied to control the efficiency of wastewater treatment plants. however, the cost of measuring these parameters is one of the challenges of the wastewater treatment plants. using statistical methods has been evaluated for possibility of calculating expensive parameters by measuring the inexpensive parameters in this study. methods:initial sampl...

color and appearance are among the first parameters perceived by consumers to judge the quality of foods. l*a*b* are used to report foods’ colors quantitatively. in this study the use of digital imaging and photoshop software was evaluated for measurement of l*, a* and b* color parameters. the results showed that l*, a*, and b* values from hunter colorimeter and the digital imaging method had a...

color match between fiber-reinforced composite (frc) restorations and teeth is an imperative factor in esthetic dentistry. the purpose of this study is to evaluate the influence of veneering composites and fibers on the color change of frc restorations.glass and polyethylene fibers were used to reinforce a direct microhybrid composite (z250, 3m espe) and a microfilled composite (gradia indirect...

objective: selection of an appropriate shade of composite is critical in achieving an esthetic restoration. different systems are used to assess and describe color parameters. this study aimed to assess the effect of color and thickness of filtek supreme (fs) and premise (p) composite resins on correction of tooth discoloration.   methods: in this in vitro experimental study, 10 anterior teeth ...
