introduction: scientific evidence has demonstrated that consumption of high-fat foods has direct connection with increasing incidences of various diseases such as obesity, diabetes, hardening of the artery walls and blood pressure. thus, demand for low-fat foods has increasingly been promoted by health-conscious consumers. however, development of low-fat foods is challenging as fat makes a majo...

Total protein content is a measurement common to many applications in basic science and clinical research. Several different fluorescent techniques are available that eliminate many of the problems associated with the traditional absorbance-based colorimetric methods to measure total protein content. Here we describe the use of fluorescamine to quantitate total protein using the BioTek FL600 fl...

Total protein content is a measurement common to many applications in basic science and clinical research. Several different fluorescent techniques are available that eliminate many of the problems associated with the traditional absorbance-based colorimetric methods to measure total protein content. Here we describe the use of the compound o-phthaldialdehyde (OPA) to quantitate total protein u...

This study investigated the effect of season (wet and dry) on milk composition of the dromedary camel (Camelus dromedarius). Milk samples representing the wet and dry seasons were analyzed for total solids (TS), fat (F), solids-non-fat (SNF), ash, crude protein (CP), nitrogen soluble at pH 4.6 (SN), mineral content (MC) and casein fraction (CnF). Camel milk had higher (P

Total protein content is a measurement common to many applications in basic science and clinical research. Several different fluorescent techniques are available that eliminate many of the problems associated with the traditional colorimetric absorbance-based methods to measure total protein content. Here we describe the use of 3-(4-carboxybenzoyl)quinoline-2carboxaldehyde (CBQCA) to quantitate...

this study examined if pre-germination altered the water content and water activity, contents of phytate, total phenolic, (±)-catechin, quercetin and total antioxidant capacity of almond  (prunus dulcis)kernel. raw almond kernels were submerged for 15 hours in water, 0.02 mol dm-3 phosphate buffer solution (ph 5.0) and 0.02 mol dm-3 phosphate buffer solution (ph 7.0) at 25 and 40ºc, respectivel...

the influence of water deprivation on potted grape (vitis vinifera l.) was investigated. leaf mass area (lma) and biochemical responses, including chlorophyll, total protein, peroxidase activity, soluble carbohydrates, photosynthesis and stomatal conductance were assessed in leaves of ‘sahani’ and ‘bidane sefid’ grape cultivars subjected to progressive drought (soil water potentials of: -0.2, -...

The core of any system of content a~alysis is a dictionary specifying the content categories to be assigned to verbal units. The system described in this paper utilizes a category dictionary in which all the conmon words of English are classified into one or two of lid possible catec ories. 2 The associated cemputer method is at present capable of analyzing a text of 25,000 words in about 20 mi...
