The aim of this paper was to optimize the level of fortification of omega-3 fatty acid into processed cheese spread. The fortification level of 5 to 15% with 5% interval with flaxseed oil, algal oil and fish oil emulsions were incorporated into processed cheese spreads.15% of fortification level was selected for flaxseed oil and algal oil and 10% was selected for fish oil emulsion based on sens...

The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of ultrasound as a conservation method for the inactivation of Escherichia coli inoculated into cactus pear juices (green and purple). Total soluble solids, pH, titratable acidity, and the kinetics of E. coli in cactus pear juices treated by ultrasound (60%, 70%, 80% and 90% amplitude levels for 1, 3 and 5min) were evaluated over 5 days...

A general formalism for calculating parameters describing physiological acid-base balance in single compartments is extended to multicompartment systems and demonstrated for the multicompartment example of human whole blood. Expressions for total titratable base, strong ion difference, change in total titratable base, change in strong ion difference, and change in Van Slyke standard bicarbonate...

The purpose of the study was to compare basic fruit chemical composition of four highbush blueberry cultivars: ‘Spartan’, ‘Bluecrop’, ‘Jersey’ and ‘Blueray’. The plants were grown on plantation near Szczecin in the years 2001 – 2003. Basic chemical composition of fruit including total ash, crude fibre, total nitrogen, soluble solids, titratable acidity, dry weight and total polyphenol content w...

1. Initial glycogen levels in the liver were found to be significantly higher than in the kidneys of the two species studied. The glycogen levels in kidney were however considerably higher than in some mammalian species. 2. Total reducing capacity, true glucose, saccharoid fraction and titratable acidity increase gradually with concomitant decrease in the glycogen levels when liver and kidney h...

Inward rectifier potassium channels are found in the heart and CNS, where they are critical for the modulation and maintenance of cellular excitability. We present evidence that the inward rectifier potassium channel HIR is modulated by extracellular pH in the physiological range. We show that proton-induced changes in HIR single-channel conductance underlie the HIR pH sensitivity seen on the m...

This work was carried out during two successive seasons (2009) and (2010) to examine the response of Florida Prince peach fruits to some pre-harvest treatments i.e. chitosan at 0.5 and 1.0% and CaCl2 at 2 and 4 % as well as their combinations on some fruit quality parameters under cold storage . Fruit weight loss (%), decay (%) and T.S.S.(%) of Florida Prince peach fruits were increased in most...

Yogurt-like products were prepared from a combination of skim milk and soymilk (100:0, 75:25, 50:50, 25:75, and 0:100) containing saccharified-rice solution by lactic fermentation of four different cultures. The ratio of skim milk and soy milk had no significant effect on titratable acidity, while the type and nature of culture used for fermentation affected the titratable acidity. Lower synere...

BURNELL, JAMES M., ELIZABETH J. TEUBNER, AND DAVID P. SIMPSON. bfetabolic acidosis accompanying potasszum deprivation. Am. J. Physiol. 227(2): 329-333. 1974.-Removal of potassium, with or without substitution of an equivalent amount of sodium, from the diet of dogs causes a prompt and persistent decrease in distal H+ secretion resulting in an increase in urine pH. The sequelae to this change in...

Strawberry fruits (cv. Benihoppe, Tochiotome, Sachinoka, and Guimeiren) were harvested and evaluated the flavor and nutritional parameters. By principal component analysis and hierarchical clustering analysis, differences were observed based on the volatile compounds composition, sugar and acid concentration, sweetness, and total soluble sugars/total organic acids of the four varieties. A total...
