Vinegar residue, a typical agro-industrial by-product in the vinegar production process, constitutes a huge environmental problem in China. Though utilization of vinegar residue has drawn much attention, there is still no effective, economical, and environmentally friendly method to deal with it. Anaerobic digestion is an effective method widely used in organic waste processing which might be a...

Synergistic eff ect of acid and salt content plays the most important role in the marinating process. Selection of suitable procedures for preparing raw fi sh material for marination, the marinating baths compositions and storage conditions, are carried out in order to achieve a longer shelf life, to maintain quality and achieve good sensory characteristics of marinated products. In this paper ...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of irrigants on the antimicrobial potential of calcium hydroxide paste in dogs' teeth with apical periodontitis. Forty-eight premolar teeth of adult mongrel dogs had their root canals opened to the oral environment for 6 months. The root canals were prepared and treated with different irrigating solutions and intracanal medicaments, acco...

There is an increasing interest in applying natural antimicrobial compounds in the food industry. Consumers are increasingly avoiding the consumption of foods treated with chemicals.

Patrons of a pub evaluated regular beer and "MIT brew" (regular beer plus a few drops of balsamic vinegar) in one of three conditions. One group tasted the samples blind (the secret ingredient was never disclosed). A second group was informed of the contents before tasting. A third group learned of the secret ingredient immediately after tasting, but prior to indicating their preference. Not su...

This work proposes the elaboration of a product based on maceration Sherry Vinegar together with pineapple in order to extract certain volatile compounds that can be found pineapples, giving final new organoleptic properties and increased polyphenolic content. Maceration trials were carried out application microwaves ultrasound, which reduced time from traditional three-day solid-liquid just fe...

Majchrowicz and Hunt1* have reported that sodium acetate has an inhibitory effect on the rapid increase of blood ethanol concentration following oral administration of ethanol. Mochizuki et al.2'3) have reported that acetic acid and vinegar also have this effect. It is considered that many dietary factors have effects on the blood glucose concentration after a meal,4>5) so we examined the effec...

The present study aimed to investigate major volatile compounds, organic acid, phenolic and mineral contents, antiradical antimicrobial properties of home-made apple/grape vinegar. Grape vinegar showed higher total acidity, acid content, content (TPC), activity lower minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values compared apple While acetic tartaric acids were the most abundant in grape vinegar,...
