Introduction: Active packaging is one of the innovations in food packaging industry that would be a respons to the changing needs of consumers and markets. In this technique, materials such as adsorbents oxygen, moisture, carbon dioxide, ethylene and carbon dioxide-releasing flavor compounds, antimicrobials, antioxidants and various aromatic compounds are used. In the last deca...

Synthetic cannabinoids are functionally similar to delta9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive principle of cannabis, and bind to the same cannabinoid receptors in the brain and peripheral organs. From 2008, synthetic cannabinoids were detected in herbal smoking mixtures sold on websites and in "head shops" under the brand name of Spice Gold, Yucatan Fire, Aroma, and others. Although th...

BACKGROUND Emerging science has shown the effect of oxidation products and inflammation on atherogenesis and carcinogenesis. Cooking hamburger meat can promote the formation of malondialdehyde that can be absorbed after ingestion. OBJECTIVE We studied the effect of an antioxidant spice mixture on malondialdehyde formation while cooking hamburger meat and its effects on plasma and urinary malo...

The project SPICE (Service Platform for Innovative Communication Environment) is addressing the still unsolved problem of designing, developing and putting into operation efficient and innovative mobile Service creation/execution platforms for networks beyond 3G. The IST project SPICE is part of the Wireless World Initiative (WWI). With the growing diversity of services, devices and connectivit...

A simple, general, yet realistic MOSFET model, namely the nth power law MOSFET model, is introduced. The model can express I -V characteristics of short-channel MOSFET's at least down to 0.25-pm channel length and resistance inserted MOSFET's. The model evaluation time is about 1 / 3 of the evaluation time of the SPICE3 MOS LEVEL3 model. The model parameter extraction is done by solving single ...

Garlic and salt spice is widely used in Brazilian cookery, but it has a high sodium content; as high sodium intake has been strongly correlated to the incidence of chronic diseases. This study aimed to develop a garlic and salt spice with reduced sodium intake. Sensory evaluation was conducted by applying the spices to cooked rice. First, the optimal concentration of spice added during rice pre...

The SPICE simulation program is widely used as a brute force simulator for analyzing and designing switching power converters. Results from SPICE are mostly useful, but their integrity is sometimes questionable as erroneous results could be obtained which may not reflect the true behavior of the circuits being simulated. Various parameters in SPICE are crucial in controlling the convergence and...

The objective of this study was to develop a palatable precooked lamb leg roast. Lamb legs (n = 60) were fabricated into 240 roasts. Roasts were assigned to one of four spice treatments: control (CON), Italian, Mexican, prime rib. After being injected with a 15 percent brine mixture, roasts were smoked to an internal temperature of 63°C, vacuum packaged, and frozen at -10°C. Roasts were thawed ...
