This study aimed to evaluate the physicochemical characteristics, bioactive compound component content, and antioxidant activity of Jerusalem artichoke tea. The was dried at 70°C for 5 h, then roasted in oven 2, 4, 6 min, respectively. control group had a moisture content 11.92%, whereas sample heated 2-6 min rapidly declining content. Oven-heated samples higher levels crude protein fat than sa...

Casein and whey proteins with and without heat treatment were obtained of whole milk and four commercial milks in Ecuador, and were hydrolyzed. Then, their capacity to inhibit the lipid peroxidation using the TBARS method was evaluated at concentrations of 0.02, 0.04, 0.2, and, 0.4 mg/mL. Native and heated hydrolysates of milk proteins present high inhibitions of lipid peroxidation with a dose ...

This study aimed to assess the variation in growth patterns of the warm region breeds in response to the intermittent prolonged heat stress conditions. Three warm region breeds (Fayoumi, Sinai Bedouin and White Baladi) and a commercial broiler strain were brooded for 8 wks in two thermal (heating and nonheating) treatments. The target ambient temperature in the heating treatment was 35°C from h...

In this study thermosensitive polymeric microspheres obtained in former research were evaluated in vitro for their photoprotective activity. The UVA/UVB ratio was assessed at so called shelf temperature, i.e., at 25 degrees C, and at elevated temperature of 45 degrees C. The evaluated polymers absorb higher levels of UV radiation, when heated from 25 degrees C to 45 degrees C. The MS1 polymer m...

A knowledge of the air movement around a worker in a low-speed airflow is important in a number of areas: containment testing of fume cupboards; testing of personal dust samplers; testing of LEV effectiveness; and measurement of worker exposure. Measurements of velocity vectors around the upper torsos of manikins and a human in low-speed airflows have been made using a laser Doppler anemometer....

Leucocyte composition in the peripheral blood of brown trout Salmo trutta m. lacustris (L.) aged 1+ was studied in relation to Diphyllobothrium dendriticum (Cestoda) infection at two temperature levels, heated about 15 °C and non-heated which decreased from 11 °C to 7 °C. Blood samples were taken from control and infected fish 12 weeks post infection. The D. dendriticum infection (1–6 per fish)...

ABSTRACT: The authors have proposed and discussed temporary storage of heated water in openings excavated in rock mountain from the viewpoints of multiple-utilization of land, environmental safeguards, energy conservation, etc. When used for heated-water storage, the rock mass around the openings will receive the effects of the heated water. In this study, a uniaxial compression creep test at h...

The primary purpose of the present study was to compare the effectiveness of two forms of hand heating and to discuss specific trends that relate finger dexterity performance to variables such as finger skin temperature (T(fing)), finger blood flow (Q(fing)), forearm skin temperature (T(fsk)), forearm muscle temperature (Tfmus), mean weighted body skin temperature (Tsk), and change in body heat...

BACKGROUND Exposure to cold temperatures is, often, a neglected problem in prehospital care. One of the leading influences of the overall sensation of cold discomfort is the cooling of the back. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a heated ambulance mattress-prototype on body temperatures and thermal comfort in an experimental study. METHOD Data were collected during four days...
