Background: Date (Phoenix dactylifera L.) is one of the most important agricultural crops in Iran. This study was carried out to determine the possibility of using date paste for manufacturing a new ready-to-eat food product. Methods: Various formulations were prepared by mixing Mazafati date paste, bread, oil (animal and olive), nuts and spices but only six formulas were chosen according to s...

the drying behavior and characteristics of date paste were studied at temperatures of 60, 70, and 80ºc as thin layer with sample thicknesses of 1, 1.5, and 2 cm in a laboratory scale vacuum chamber. modeling of drying kinetics of date paste was investigated based on the specific temperatures and sample thicknesses. the experimental moisture loss data were fitted to eight thin layer drying model...

abstract halwa-ardeh is a traditional food in iran and middle east countries, which is produced by crushing the dehulled sesame seeds and then mixing with a proper sweetener such as grape concentrate, date syrup, and honey. the oil content of this product is on the average of 57-65% (w/w). in this research, the effect of different levels of fat substitutes including guar gum (of 0.1, 0.15 and 0...

Two novel ingredients were incorporated into spreadable liver pâtés to study their effect on physicochemical and sensory characteristics and their possible use in the meat industry. Fresh date (Phoenix dactylifera, cv. Confitera) co-products, as a paste (0, 2.5 and 7.5%), and annatto (Bixa orellana) extract (0 and 128 mg/kg), as a colourant, and their combinations were incorporated into liver p...

We present a method for identifying errors in EHRs caused by copying and pasting text containing relative dates. Our method utilizes a sequence alignment method for recognizing instances of copy/paste, and regular expressions for relative dates. We furthermore present an analysis of our method on the MIMIC-II dataset. Introduction Electronic health records (EHR) are a powerful enabling technolo...
