This study investigates the effect of electrocoagulation contact time on pH and TSS wastewater discharged from treatment plant (WWTP) Psychiatric Hospital West Java Province. The experiment followed pretest-posttest control group design. involved testing 56 samples six times before after treatment. Each was repeated four times, there one for each repetition. tool used in this consisted 1-mm ele...

with aim for identification of contaminative and critical points of raw milk during production in 9 selected industrial dairy farms, 408 raw milk samples were collected from udders, milking machine, cooling tank and milk transport vehicle at receiving platform in dairy plant. samples were examined for total microbial, coliform ande. coli count and also acidity and ph. total microbial count of s...

aril browning threatens production, consumption, and exports of pomegranates, because affected fruit cannot be externally distinguished from healthy fruit. this study compared the mineral, biochemical composition, and related enzyme activities in affected brown arils with healthy ones in ‘malase saveh’ pomegranates. the results indicated that concentrations of cu in the aril and k, mg, and mn i...

in this study, the effectiveness of chitosan coating treatment to control weight loss and maintaining fruit quality of apricot was investigated. fruits were coated with 0.25%, 0.5% and 0.75% chitosan as well as distilled water (control). following treatments, fruits were stored at 0?c and 80 ? 2% relative humidity for 25 days. the weight loss, total soluble solids (tss), titratable acidity (ta)...

This study was conducted to evaluate the combined effects of blanching and sonication on carrot juice quality. Carrots were blanched at 100 °C for 4 min in normal and acidified water. Juice was extracted and sonicated at 15 °C for 2 min keeping pulse duration 5 s on and 5 s off (70% amplitude level and 20 kHz frequency). No significant effect of blanching and sonication was observed on Brix, pH...

An ethanol extract of Pipal has been studied for its ability to inhibit gastric acidity and to protect gastric mucosa against the injuries caused by pyloric ligation, acetyl salicylic acid and cytodestructing agents (80% ethanol, 06M Hcl and 0.2 M Hcl) in rats. The results of this study demonstrate that ethanol extract of papal has significant effects on various experimentally induced ulcers. I...

The need to increase sustainability and add value to traditional foods claiming health benefits led to the introduction of key improvements in the production of hibiscus beverages in Senegal. The physicochemical and sensory properties of three resulting products (an under-vacuum concentrate, a dilute-to-taste syrup and a ready-to-drink infusion) were assessed, vis-à-vis those of conventionally ...

The present study was conducted on five ber (Ziziphus mauritiana Lamk) cultivars (Komethry, Pakstany, Um-sulaem, Toffahy and Peyuan) grown in Saudi Arabia during 2005 and 2006 seasons. The aim of the present study was to investigate fruit properties (fruit weight, length, diameter, shape, specific gravity, seed weight, pulp percentage, total soluble solids (TSS), acidity percentage, TSS/acid, v...

The high-resolution potentiometric titration was used as a physico-chemical method to study the acid properties of selected biosorbent materials in order to quantify the functional acidic groups for sorption and to determine their affinities by considering their partial or total ionization equilibrium reactions. The Gran's method and the Henderson-Hasselbach's equation were employed in establis...

Studies were conducted to establish changes in nib acidification and biochemical composition (sugars concentration, proteins and free fatty acids) during fermentation of pulp pre-conditioned cocoa beans using a 4 x 3 full factorial experimental design with pod storage (0, 3, 7 and 10 days) and fermentation time (0, 3 and 6 days) as the principal factors. Non-volatile (titratable) acidity, pH, s...
