BACKGROUND In the coming years, a nutraceutical food may provide both physical and mental benefits that are commonly attributed to the active components of the food. OBJECTIVE In this study, we determined the nutrient and mineral contents, sensory properties, and physical and chemical characteristics of ice creams manufactured using peach fibre at different concentrations (1 and 2%). METHOD...

Six BiOX1-xYx (X, Y = F, Cl, Br, and I) solid solutions have been systematically investigated by density functional theory calculations. BiOCl1-xBrx, BiOBr1-xIx, and BiOCl1-xIx solid solutions have very small bowing parameters; as such, some of their properties increase almost linearly with increasing x. For BiOF1-xYx solid solutions, the bowing parameters are very large and it is extremely dif...

In this article, the failure of a heat exchanger during its operation in the marine environment has been analyzed. This heat exchanger was used for cooling the oil in a marine diesel engine. Based on the existing failure history, damages in engine components were observed after 89 hours of engine working due to the leakage of the sea water to the oil. For the objective of the failure analysis, ...

Changes in the chemical composition of soil organic carbon (SOC) might strongly affect the global carbon cycle as it controls the SOC decomposition rate. Vegetation change associated with long-term land use changes is known to strongly impact the chemical composition of SOC; however, data on the impacts of vegetation change following disturbance events of short durations and succession that occ...

  Objective: In order to use natural compounds in controlling plant pests and diseases, many researchers in recent years have studied the antifungal effects of essential oils and plant extracts.  The purpose of this study was to investigate the chemical composition and antifungal effects of Echium khuzestanium and marubbium anisodan extract...

the objective of this study was to determine the effect of irradiation of pomegranate seed (ps) on chemical composition, digestibility and kinetic of gas production. pomegranate seeds were exposed to gamma ray (gr) and electron beam (eb) at doses of 5, 10, 15 and 20 kgy. three ruminally fistulated rams were used for obtaining ruminal fluid for in vitro digestibility and gas production measuremen...

this study was conducted to determine the chemical composition, degradability characteristics gas production as well as the phenomenon of the persian clover (trifolium resopinatum) when at some growth stages of the were early budding to full flowering, namely: early budding (i), full budding (ii), early flowering (iii) as well as full flowering stage (iv). four fistulated mehraban male sheep we...

This study presents the chemical composition and in vitro fermentation of five diets with different forage (alfalfa) to concentrate (faba bean) (F:C) ratios, F0:C100, F25:C75, F50:C50, F75:C25, F100:C0 on a dry matter (DM) basis. Results indicate that the chemical composition in term of organic matter (OM), ether extract (EE), crude protein (CP), acid detergent fiber (ADF), neutral detergent fi...
