ABSTRACT: Synbiotic products contain both probiotic bacteria and prebiotic compounds. The aim of this study was to produce a synbiotic yogurt with desirable quality. Lactobacillus rhamnosus and Lactobacillus reuteri along with 1.5% prebiotics including inulin, lactulose, and oligofructose were used to make synbiotic yogurt (2.5% fat). The samples were stored at 4oC for 28 days, and their physic...

A method for stably purifying a functional dye, phycocyanin from Spirulina platensis was developed by freezing and thawing method. Among various buffers used for phycocyanin yield efficiency sodium phosphate buffer (pH 7 and 0.1 M) was found to be most suitable for highest yield. During comparison of various buffers, sodium phosphate buffer was found as best buffer with 146 ±0.265 mg/g phycobil...

Three species of kilka (Clupeonella spp.) in the Caspian Sea have a high commercial value. In Iran it is use to produce canned, marinated packs and paste in making sausage and nugget. Kilka is a nutritious fish with high level of iron and considerable level of polyunsaturated fatty acids making it prone to auto-oxidation. The quality of kilka is the most important factor affects on its products...

Sliced pineapple has been shown to have a post-cutting life that is strongly influenced by temperature, from a few hours at 20oC to more than five weeks at 1oC (O ́Hare, 1994). O ́Connor-Shaw et al. (1994) reported that pineapple cubes, stored in polypropylene containers at 4oC, kept their sensory attributes for 7 days, but after 11 days showed brown discoloration, and after 14 days off-odors and...

background: there are many studies focused on long or short storage time of epididymal sperm (eps) of different species. there are limited studies on preservation or cryopreservation of the domestic goat eps. objective: the aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of ex vivo cold-storage on freezing of eps from goat (capra hircus). materials and methods: in a split-plot design the c...

background: boron and gadolinium are among the nuclides that hold a unique property of being a neutron capture therapy agent. neutron beams have often a considerable portion of gamma rays with fast neutrons. gamma rays, as beam contaminants, can cause considerable damage to normal tissues even if such tissues do contain high boron concentrations. materials and methods: the modification of radio...

Objectives: Development of synbiotic yoghurt using non-fat milk and by incorporating oat flour probiotic strain Bifidobacterium bifidum, evaluating the product for its physico-chemical, rheological sensory characteristics checking viability bifidum in final during storage period. Methods: In current study was prepared skim incorporating, (NCDC 255) oats as prebiotic at two different level (T1-1...
