abstract soilless culture of greenhouse vegetables has been a fast developing section in iran during recent years. most growers use hydroponics systems with artificial substrates. some of the used substrates have low water retention which results in wasting a great deal of solution. on the other hand, low vigor of cucumber root in water and fertilizer absorption, especially in low media tempera...

the preferred colour for surimi is white, but surimi prepared from light fillets of common carp (cyprinus carpio) is slightly pink. hydrogen peroxide (h2o2; 1-3% v/v) with and without sodium tri-polyphosphate (stp; 1-2% w/v) was added to a sodium carbonate bath (ph 7.0-11.5) resulting in a final ph range of 4.4 to 10.1 which was injected into carp fillets. after soaking and tumbling for 30 min ...

soil productivity is generally associated with poor nutrient status and the physical condition of the soil, but the effect of soil mineralogy on soil productivity has received little attention. in this qualitative study, interactions between mineralogy and physico-chemistry and their role on the productivity of two luvisols, an arenosol and a vertisol are investigated. minerals identified in th...

decreased water holding capacity are believed to skin barrier dysfunction. It was surprising that we found positive correlation between TEWL and water holding capacity in AD. Conclusions: The results of TEWL and water holding capacity suggest that the barrier function of stratum corneum is impaired in AD patients. On the one hand, further studies should be required to explain the unexpected cor...

The considered topic is of great interest for researchers and practitioners engaged in the development technology production meat food. In review, authors focus on theoretical aspects capacity to bind hold water. characteristic forms strength water-to-meat bonds given. influence structural elements muscle tissue water shown. different opinions specialists are given regard terms “water-binding” ...

The pH of meat has a strong effect on both light scattering (paleness) and water-holding capacity (WHC), using WHC imprecisely as a general term to describe fluid distribution and retention. Light scattering has many attributes in meat (in relation to wavelength, direction and polarization), and is easier to measure on a routine basis than pH. Thus, the indirect correlation of light scattering ...

Water-holding capacity of fresh meat (ability to retain inherent water) is an important property of fresh meat as it affects both the yield and the quality of the end product. This characteristic can be described in several ways, but in fresh products that have not been extensively processed, it is often described as drip loss or purge. The mechanism by which drip or purge is lost from meat is ...
