To detect urea content in milk powder, a nonlinear chemical fingerprint technique was developed. In our study, Belousov-Zhabotinsky oscillatory chemical reaction (B-Z) was performed using milk powder and malonic acid as main dissipative substances. The same dosage of milk powder with or without artificially added urea was introduced to “H+ + Ce4+ + 3 BrO − + malonic acid” oscillating system, re...

This study was conducted to investigate the physical and sensory properties of ice cream containing fermented pepper powder. Three ice cream formulas were manufactured: 1, control; 2, supplemented with 0.1% fermented pepper powder; and 3, supplemented with 0.2% fermented pepper powder. Formulas 2 and 3 had significantly higher viscosity and lower overrun than formula 1 (p<0.05). Additionally, i...

In this work three capsule-based dry powder inhalers, available for generics product development, were compared. Two technologically different dry powder formulations were used in order to relate the capsule piercing position and motion in the device to their aerodynamic performance. A "pierce and inhale" design, in which the capsules pierced with RS01, HandiHaler or Turbospin devices were aero...

Silkworm powder containing 1-deoxynojirimycin (DNJ) has α-glucosidase inhibitory activity and is promising as a complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) agent in Japan. Silkworm powder produced in Korea was extracted with 75% ethanol. The extract was derivatized with 9-fluorenylmethyl chloroformate (FMOC-Cl), and DNJ-FMOC content was measured by HPLC. Then, alfa-glucosidase inhibition by si...

Thermal inactivation kinetics (D and z values) of Salmonella Enterococcus faecium in fresh hazelnut shell kernel were determined. Aluminum pouches containing either 1.5 g powder or 2 ground inoculated with bacterium at their original water activities (aw-shell = 0.91 ± 0.01, aw-kernel 0.93 0.01) isothermally treated a thermal death time (TDT) sandwich 55, 60, 65, 70 75 °C for determining D valu...

Harvester ants (Messor galla Forel) defied various control strategies. Two field experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of Spent Engine-Oil and other nature-based materials on their emergence in Maiduguri, Borno State of Nigeria. The treatments evaluated are spot application of spent engine-oil and some natural materials in experiment 1 and individual and equal mixture of Pure Neem ...

A mixture of powdered compounds added to dough or cake mixture to make it rise in cooking. It is used as a substitute for yeast in bread-making. Baking powders consist of a source of carbon dioxide, such as sodium hydrogencarbonate or ammonium hydrogencarbonate, and an acidic substance such as calcium hydrogenphosphate, potassium hydrogentartrate (cream of tartar), or sodium hydrogenphosphate. ...

effect of oil neem seed extract and the neem kernel powder mixed with methanol 85% and ethanol 95% were investigated on two spotted spider mite (tetranychus urticae) under greenhouse (25 ± 5 °c and 40 ± 10% r. h.) and laboratory conditions. mortality percent of each above-mentioned solvent in different concertrations (0.03, 0.06, 0.09, 0.12, 0.15, 0.2, 0.3 and 0.5%) by three methods (leaf dip, ...

The aim of the present study was to evaluate in vitro and in vivo ruminal fermentation of micronised wood powder in beef cattle. Micronised wood powder was prepared by pulverizing sapwood of Japanese cedar to a mean particle size of 52 μm. Ruminal fluid from four beef cows was anaerobically incubated with different amounts of micronised wood powder (50, 100, 200, or 400 mg per 30 ml rumen fluid...
