Raw breast fillets were divided into two groups and either vacuum or aerobically packaged. The fillets in each group were subdivided equally into two groups and then irradiated at 0 or 3 kGy using a Linear Accelerator. After 0, 3 and 7 days of storage at 4 °C, fillets were cooked in an 85 °C water bath (cook-in-bag) to an internal temperature of 74 °C. Oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) of raw...

Open source has become the de facto community process for the Internet. The success of this process has primarily been in software development, starting with its roots in Linux (http://www.linux.org/), and has spread to hundreds of diverse projects ranging from designing a better intravenous system for third world patients (http://www.thinkcycle.org/), improving cooking recipes (http://www.ibib...

Routine exposure to domestic cooking fuels is an important source of indoor air pollution causing deterioration of lung function. We conducted a community based cross-sectional study in 760 non-smoking rural women involved in household cooking with four types of cooking fuels i.e. Biomass, Kerosene stove, Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG) and Mixed (combination of two and more cooking fuels).

Comparative effects of extrusion cooking and conventional processing methods (cooking and autoclaving) on anti-nutritional factors and subsequent effects on in vitro and in vivo digestibility of Vicia ervilia in broilers were investigated. Treatments had significant effect (P

Studies were conducted on 20 rice hybrids with checks to assess the genetic variability, heritability and correlation among the genotypes for fifteen grain quality characters and grain yield. Seeds collected from the thirteen hybrids and check varieties were used for grain quality analysis. To assess the cooking qualities, a total of 30 unbroken milled grains were measured for their length and ...

Green leafy vegetables (spinach and bathua) and pulses (green pea and bengal gram) are widely consumed and hold an important place in the diet of people of India. Vegetarians who consume a greater amount of vegetables will have a higher intake of oxalate, which may reduce calcium availability. The objectives of this present research were to investigate the effect of different domestic cooking a...

Many dietary interventions assume a positive influence of home cooking on diet, health and social outcomes, but evidence remains inconsistent. We aimed to systematically review health and social determinants and outcomes of home cooking. Given the absence of a widely accepted, established definition, we defined home cooking as the actions required for preparing hot or cold foods at home, includ...
