Our aim was to optimise the encapsulation of an aqueous bitter melon extract by spray-drying with maltodextrin (MD) and gum Arabic (GA). The response surface methodology models accurately predicted the process yield and retentions of bioactive concentrations and activity (R² > 0.87). The optimal formulation was predicted and validated as 35% (w/w) stock solution (MD:GA, 1:1) and a ratio of 1.5:...

The production of vacuum dried egg powder through a simplified technique was studied. The advantage of egg powder with its production and variation in its technology which helps for a better quality and cost efficient product was tested. Eggs as a raw source were collected from the local poultry farm and processes for production were carried out. High risk factors like, reduced glucose in the d...

This paper reports the beneficial effect of twice daily ingestion (a table spoonful) of dried Kigelia africana fruit powder in the management of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) in two patients. Both patients had the classical triad of Amenorrhoea, acne and hirsutism. The two were 25 years old and 22 years old spinsters respectively. The ultrasonography was suggestive only in the latter; unfort...

Horizontal infiltration experiments were performed to validate a plug flow model that minimizes the number of parameters that must be measured. Water and silicone oil at three different viscosities were infiltrated into glass beads, desert alluvium, and silica powder. Experiments were also performed with negative inlet heads on air-dried silica powder, and with water and oil infiltrating into i...

This study aimed to determine the phenomenon during sorption on whole dried and powder butterfly pea under room temperature storage. In addition, identified thermodynamics, hygroscopicity, degree of caking, physicochemical properties quality pea. Experiments applied static gravimetric method by saturated salt at 13-27oC. The results found that best model was Peleg Model. increase in aw affects ...

objective(s):   the production of nano-hydroxyapatite by two encapsulated bacterial strains was the goal of current research.  materials and methods:   serratia marcscens atcc 14756 and pseudomonas aeruginosa ptcc 1570 were used by two methods including encapsulated form in 2% (w/v) alginate sodium powder and inoculated form (10%) in nutrient broth medium containing alginate sodium blank beads....

• Spray-dried camel milk powders were stored at 11–33% RH (37 °C) over 18 weeks. An increase in surface lipid caused an hydrophobicity. Wettability was not affected, and dispersibility solubility dropped during storage. There a strong correlation between content powder solubility. Powder property changes more profound 33% than lower levels. Alterations chemical composition relating to rehydrati...
