BACKGROUND This study describes a model developed to evaluate the transboundary risk of PEDV-contaminated swine feed ingredients and the effect of two mitigation strategies during a simulated transport event from China to the US. RESULTS Ingredients imported to the USA from China, including organic & conventional soybeans and meal, lysine hydrochloride, D-L methionine, tryptophan, Vitamins A,...

This report addresses the safety of the inorganic salts and esters of various fatty alcohols of myristic acid. Most of the esters are used as skin conditioning agents in many types of cosmetics in a range of concentrations. Myristate esters are readily hydrolyzed to the corresponding alcohols and acids, which are then further metabolized. Myristate salts readily dissociate in any likely cosmeti...

Vesicular systems, such as liposomes and ethosomes, are used in cosmetic and pharmaceutical products to encapsulate ingredients, to protect ingredients from degradation, to increase bioavailability, and to improve cosmetic performance. Some reports have suggested that formulation of cosmetic ingredients in vesicular carrier systems may increase their contact allergy elicitation potential in hum...

An earlier safety assessment of several cellulose polymers has been expanded to include cellulose itself and other cellulose polymers used in cosmetics. In general, these ingredients are modified cellulose polymers formed by reaction with the free hydroxyl groups in cellulose. The number of hydroxyl groups reacting, as well as the nature of the substitute group, largely determine the physical p...

In all process Industries, to get quality product as output, the ingredients have to be composed in correct composition. So, to control quality of output product, we have to control the quantity of ingredients to be composed. In this paper, we have designed virtual Instrument which controls the process assessing the percentages of ingredients of any product using Lab VIEW. It checks whether add...

Jet oils are specialized synthetic oils used in high-performance jet engines. They have an appreciable hazard due to toxic ingredients, but are safe in use provided that maintenance personnel follow appropriate safety precautions and the oil stays in the engine. Aircraft engines that leak oil may expose others to the oils through uncontrolled exposure. Airplanes that use engines as a source of ...

Extended Clifford circuits straddle the boundary between classical and quantum computational power. Whether such circuits are efficiently classically simulable seems to depend delicately on the ingredients of the circuits. While some combinations of ingredients lead to efficiently classically simulable circuits, other combinations that might just be slightly different, lead to circuits which ar...

Sport supplements formulas are driven to a sector of consumers which a restrictive diet. Tryptophan is essential amino acid and its bioavailability should be assessed from these commercial products. A robust and fast HPLC procedure is applied to determine total tryptophan content from dairy-ingredients, mostly whey-based ingredients, and commercial dried-sport supplements, mostly whey-enriched ...

Three cats were diagnosed as having food hypersensitivity by food elimination and oral food provocation tests. Twelve allergenic food ingredients were identified by oral food provocation test in the 3 cats. Of the 12 food ingredients, 9 offending food antigens were shown to be positive in a lymphocyte stimulation test; however, none of them were positive in antigen-specific IgE testing, and onl...

There are many websites and researches that involve cooking recipe recommendation. However, these websites present cooking recipes on the basis of entry date, access frequency, or the recipe’s user ratings. They do not reflect the user’s personal preferences. We have proposed a personalized recipe recommendation method that is based on the user’s food preferences. For extracting the user’s food...
