moisture sorption isotherms are useful in food dehydration, storage and packaging. because of the complex food composition, experimental measurements are necessary for prediction of the isotherms. moisture sorption isotherms of thompson seedless raisins were determined at 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 and 80?c, using the standard static gravimetric method developed by the european cooperation project cost...

Abstract One of the healthy lifestyles that continues to grow is consuming food. The consumption sweet bread in Indonesia increase, and as a result, cases people with diabetes mellitus have also experienced significant for it not recommended consume excessive amounts bread. A cinnamon roll dough sheet consisting sugar mixture (raisins or other fruit ingredients) which are sprinkled on top thin ...

The current study focuses on the performance of Solar Greenhouse Dryer for drying grapes raisin making in and Open sun condition Western Maharashtra. Maharashtra state ranks first production grapes, probably produces nearly 800 thousand tons every year. major wastage is due to low sugar content, glossy appearance, shrinkage, excess water berry, scorching size variation. Therefore, there a need ...

Increased fruit and vegetable intake lowers blood pressure in short-term interventional studies. However, data on the association of long-term intake of fruits and vegetables with hypertension risk are scarce. We prospectively examined the independent association of whole fruit (excluding juices) and vegetable intake, as well as the change in consumption of whole fruits and vegetables, with inc...

In order to manage risk of ochratoxin A (OTA) in foods, we re-evaluated the tolerable daily intake (TDI), derived the negligible cancer risk intake (NCRI), and conducted a probabilistic risk assessment. A new approach was developed to derive 'usual' probabilistic exposure in the presence of highly variable occurrence data, such as encountered with low levels of OTA. Canadian occurrence data wer...

A b s t r a c t In this paper we discuss the results of experiments which use a context, essentially an ordered set of lexical items, as the seed from which to build a network representing statistically important relationships among lexical items in some corpus. A metric is then applied to the nodes in the network in order to discover those pairs of items related by high indices of similarity. ...
