This study aimed to investigate the impact of fermentation time on antioxidative activities and phenolic composition sensory quality kombucha fermented from different teas (green, black, oolong) fruits (grape, dragon, guava). Results: highest activity was observed in green tea grapefruit for 6-7 days at 25–30°C 48 h 37°C, respectively. Further analysis revealed that grape significantly improved...

We discuss recent progress in lattice QCD studies on various aspects involving strange and heavy quarks. Appropriate combinations of conserved net strange and net charm fluctuations and their correlations with other conserved charges provide evidence that in the hadronic phase so far unobserved hadrons contribute to the thermodynamics and need to be included in hadron resonance gas models. In t...

I reconsider the forward-backward asymmetry for flavoured quarks in electron-positron annihilation. I suggest an infrared-safe definition of this observable, such that the asymmetry may be computed in perturbative QCD with massless quarks. With this definition, the first and second order QCD corrections are computed.

AIM The objective of this study was to evaluate the nutrient profile of labelled foods and also understand the application of two international nutrient profiling models of labelled foods and beverages. METHODS WXYfm and NRF 9.3 nutrient profiling models were used to evaluate 3,171 labelled foods and beverages of 38 food categories and 500 different brands. RESULTS According to the WXYfm mo...

BACKGROUND Ambroxol has a local anaesthetic action and is marketed for pain relief for sore throat. The objective is to examine the efficacy and safety of ambroxol for the relief of pain associated with acute uncomplicated sore throat. METHODS A systematic review of the literature and meta-analysis. Selection criteria consisted of randomized controlled trials which compared ambroxol to placeb...

Inspired by various astrophysical phenomenons, it is suggested that pulsar-like compact stars are comprised entirely of strangeons (quark-clusters with three-light-flavor symmetry) and a small amount electrons. In order to better constrain the properties strangeon stars, we propose linked bag model describe condensed matter strong interaction (i.e., matter) in both 2-flavoured (nucleons) 3-flav...
