Rheological Parameters as Affected by Water Tension in Subtropical Soils

Infiltration in cracking clay soils as affected by initial soil moisture content

Improving the rheological properties of 18% wheat flour as affected by transglutaminase enzyme

Enzymes are useful to modify wheat proteins to preserve the gas better and to correct the rheological properties of the dough of weak flour and bread. Gluten proteins are highly impacting the quality of various gluten-based products, and transglutaminases (TGs) leading to the strengthening, stability and constancy of the dough as well as the improvement of the volume, texture and storage time o...

Physicochemical and Rheological Properties and Microstructure of Canola oil as Affected by Monoacylglycerols

Background and Objectives: Canola oil is very low in saturated fatty acid (~8 %), which makes it suitable for application as dressing for salad. Canola oil is liquid, thus its application in the production of margarine and shortening is limited. The present study provides information about the effects of monoacylglycerols (MAG) as the structuring agent on physical, microstructure and rheologica...

Surface Tension of Sera as Affected by the Precipitin Reaction

An attempt to find evidence, through the study of surface tension, using the du Noüy tensiometer, of a denaturing effect of the precipitin reaction upon either the antigen or the immune serum yielded entirely negative results.

Extractable Phosphorus as Affected by Humic Acid Application in Salt Affected Soils

To use of organic fertilizer sources for increasing crops production on sustainable basis has become imperative because the cost of chemical fertilizers is high. An experiment was conducted during 2006 on two saltaffected soils of District Charsadda to evaluate the effect of different levels of single super phosphate (SSP) alone and in combination with humic acid (HA) on phosphorus availability...
