Wax Used for Milk and Food Containers

Free Radicals in Plastic Food Containers

Free radicals in polymers are produced during synthesis and interaction with catalysts, initiator of chemical reactions, fillers, stabilizers, and other substances which as chemically or physically active remain dissolved in condensed phase of final product. Also γ irradiation causes both immediate and time dependent changes which arise from the presence of long living free radicals. The free r...

Colposcopic biopsies of the cervix: use of Bouin's fluid, multicompartment containers and dental wax rafts.

Specimen plastic containers used to store expressed breast milk in neonatal care units: a case of precautionary principle.

Breast milk is the only milk that meets both the nutritional and immunitary needs of infants. Since breastfeeding is widely promoted, public health measures to preserve the nutritional qualities of expressed breast milk (EBM) should be applied in hospital care settings. The Health Technology Assessment Unit (HTAU) of the Centre hospitalier universitaire de Québec was requested by the Neonatal C...

Crystallization behavior of anhydrous milk fat-sunflower oil wax blends.

This research evaluates the effect of sunflower oil wax (SFOw) addition on the crystallization behavior and functional properties of anhydrous milk fat (AMF). Induction times of nucleation, melting behavior, microstructure of crystals, and hardness were evaluated for samples of pure AMF and AMF with 0.1 and 0.25% SFOw. Results from this research show that the addition of waxes induced the onset...

Camel milk for food allergies in children.

BACKGROUND Food allergies in children are often very serious and can lead to anaphylactic reactions. Observations that camel milk ameliorates allergic reactions were noted over the years. The effect of camel milk is probably related to its special composition. OBJECTIVES To investigate the effect of camel milk in several children with severe food (mainly milk) allergies. METHODS We studied ...
