This study tried to develop Siraegi by boiling it down in soy seasoning sauce with excellent sensory attributes and evaluate the quality characteristics in order to enhance the value of traditional agricultural products, dried radish leaves. Sugar content of the seasoning sauce were finally established at 30% (w/v) compared with the starch syrup, which was added to the sauce through sensory eva...

To examine whether artificial sweeteners aid in the control of long-term food intake and body weight, we gave free-living, normal-weight subjects 1150 g soda sweetened with aspartame (APM) or high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) per day. Relative to when no soda was given, drinking APM-sweetened soda for 3 wk significantly reduced calorie intake of both females (n = 9) and males (n = 21) and decreas...

BACKGROUND This study explores sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) availability in US secondary school competitive venues during the first 3 years following the school wellness policy requirement (2007-2009). Furthermore, analyses examine associations with school policy and SSB availability. METHODS Analyses use questionnaire data from 757 middle and 762 high schools in the nationally representati...

Sodium carbonate (commonly called as soda ash or washing soda) is the primary product of the chemical industry since the year one. It was used in antiquity for the manufacture of soap and glass, using the mineral appears in some lakes of Africa, Asia and North America being a natural soda, so-called trona (Na2CO3·NaHCO3·2H2O). In Europe, the most important was the soda ash produced in Spain, No...

Background: Asthma is a chronic multifactorial disease with a high prevalence. Among asthma risk factors, the effect of baking in wood tenor ovens (traditional form of baking) on bronchial asthma is still debated. The aim of this study was to determine the association between baking in wood tenor ovens and incidence and control of bronchial asthma. Materials and Methods: This descriptive stu...

There is a growing cause for concern on envenoming European species because of jellyfish blooms, climate change and globalization displacing species. Treatment of envenomation involves the prevention of further nematocyst release and relieving local and systemic symptoms. Many anecdotal treatments are available but species-specific first aid response is essential for effective treatment. Howeve...

As carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere continue to rise, the necessity for efficient and effective carbon mitigation and sequestration techniques increases as well. However, attempts thus far have proven to be too expensive or speculative to be implemented on a global level. Our goal was therefore to devise a solution that is both efficient and cost effective. To do this, we utilized the ca...

in this study, the main papermaking characteristics of soybean straw (glycine max) as an agricultural residue were investigated. the fiber biometry and chemical composition of soybean straw were determined. the properties of pulps from soda, soda-aq and monoethanolamine (mea) processes were compared. the average fiber length, fiber diameter, lumen diameter, and cell wall thickness were found to...

Soda lignin does not have thermal flowing characteristics and it is impossible for it to be further thermally molded. To achieve the fusibility of soda lignin for fiber preparation by melt-spinning, an effective method for soda lignin modification was conducted by cooking it with polyethylene glycol (PEG) 400 at various ratios. The higher the ratio of PEG that was used, the more PEG molecular c...

This study identified factors that influence regular soda consumption among 707 female students, aged 13-18 years, attending North Los Angeles County public high schools. Participants completed a group-administered Theory of Planned Behavior-based questionnaire. Almost all of the participants, 96.3%, reported that they currently drink soda; 50.1% reported drinking 2 glasses of soda or more per ...
