Biopolymer-based films were developed using a mixture of pullulan and agar, the fabricated film was functionalized with bioactive functional components, Pickering emulsion eucalyptus essential oil (PEU), rutin. The color PEU rutin supplemented light yellow. As result, yellowness index increased while whiteness reduced. filler showed biocompatibility pullulan/agar polymer matrix. presence materi...

This study aimed to evaluate barbatimão bark extracts as a feed additive and substitute for lasalocid sodium (LAS) feedlot lambs. Lambs were distributed into three treatments: LAS (0.018 g of sodium), DBB (1.500 dried milled bark), BHE (0.300 hydroalcoholic extract). There was no effect (p = 0.32) the inclusion on average daily gain. Inclusion in lamb diets reduced < 0.05) fatness score comp...

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Ceramic restorations should be made of porcelain layers of different opacity, shade, and thickness in order to provide a natural appearance. By means of CAD/CAM layering technology such as CICERO, it is feasible to produce all-ceramic crowns with porcelain layers of predetermined thickness. However, it is not yet known whether changes in thickness of these porcelain layers ...

In this study, pomegranate peels were dried using three different drying methods, vacuum, microwave and convective. Dried ground into powder replaced (0, 5 10%) with whole wheat flour in chips formulation to enhance functional properties of chips. Some physical (diameter, thickness, spread ratio weight), chemical (total phenolic content antioxidant activity), color texture samples determined. W...

Thyme Essential oils (EO) with antimicrobial and antioxidant properties are widely used in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and perfume industry. It is also used for flavoring and preservation of several foods. Nowadays, packaging research is receiving a considerable attention due to the development of eco-friendly materials made from natural polymers such as starch and chitosan. In this study Thymus ...

Roasting has considerable effects on the quality of cream made of nuts. In this study, the roasting conditions of walnut kernels were optimized based on the stability parameters of the produced cream. Temperatures of 100-150°C for 10-30 minutes were used to roast walnut kernels. The amount of oil separation, peroxide, acidity and Thiobarbituric acid values of the cream, as well as color paramet...

Floral phenology as a special indicator of climate change and vegetation dynamics is drawing more attention. The long-term observations flowering events collected at scattered ground sites have accumulated valuable priority on the understanding floral phenology, but with insufficient investigation spatio-temporal regional scale, which mainly induced by lack effective ways to capture pixel-based...

In Western Nigeria samples of serum or plasma are often bright yellow and yet have normal levels of bilirubin. In a pilot experiment in 1959 we found that unusually high levels of total carotenoids were present in several samples of yellow serums. Edozien (1960) has since reported values for serum carotene in Ibadan ranging from 150 to 900 pg/Ioo ml in normal individuals, compared with the figu...

Six dried Total Mixed Ration (TMR) recipes were formulated according to Completely Randomized Design and pressed into briquettes enhance the keeping quality. All stored for 6 months each was analysed physical parameters, nutrient composition shelf life. The interaction (period x treatment) effect not significant in nutrients except crude protein ash contents. It also life parameters; yeast moul...
