Ergonomics evaluation of a manually operated cassava chipping machine.
A manually operated machine for chipping cassava was evaluated. Six farmers took part in the study, with physiological, postural, and subjective measurements being taken. Using the machine resulted in drudgery and postural discomfort. Following an iterative design process and using appropriate anthropometric measurements, an improved, adjustable prototype was developed. This was tested with the...
متن کاملTechnology of manually operated sampler pipets.
We have evaluated the performance of manually operated sampler pipets. Twenty-four instruments of various construction, manufacture, and delivery volume were evaluated. Pipet-delivered water and serum were repeatedly weighed under controlled environmental conditions, and precision and accuracy assessed. The pipets often failed to meet the manufacturer’s stated tolerance limits. Consumers should...
متن کاملFlavor and antioxidant capacity of peanut paste and peanut butter supplemented with peanut skins.
UNLABELLED Peanut skins (PS) are a good source of phenolic compounds. This study evaluated antioxidant properties and flavor of peanut paste and peanut butter enhanced with peanut skins. PS were added to both materials in concentrations of 0.0%, 0.5%, 1.0%, 5.0%, 10.0%, 15.0%, and 20.0% (w/w).

متن کاملSticky Decisions: Peanut Butter in a Time of Salmonella
We present a consumer-focused perspective on creating communications regarding potentially contaminated foods. It is illustrated with decisions that might have faced US consumers during the 2009 recalls of peanut and pistachio products. The example shows how knowledge about test results and regulatory processes might be made more useful to consumers.
متن کاملEffects of pulsed UV-light on peanut allergens in extracts and liquid peanut butter.
Pulsed ultraviolet (PUV) light, a nonthermal technology, was used to treat both the peanut extracts and liquid peanut butter. The objective was to determine if such treatment would lead to a reduction in the allergenic properties of the peanut extract and butter. Peanut samples were PUV treated using a Xenon RS-3000C under the following conditions: 3 pulses/s, 14.6 cm from the central axis of t...
