OBJECTIVES To describe the contribution of whole fruit, including discrete types of fruit, to total fruit consumption and to investigate differences in consumption by sociodemographic characteristics. METHODS We analyzed data from 3129 youth aged 2 to 19 years from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 2011 to 2012. Using the Food Patterns Equivalents Database and the What We ...

The study was aimed to evaluate the carminative and antacid properties of Cucumis sativus fruit pulp aqueous extract under simulated conditions. Fresh fruit pulp of Cucumis sativus was homogenized and dried under shade and thus mass obtained was powdered, weighed and subjected for the evaluation of carminative and antacid profile of the drug. Carminative & antacid properties of Cucumis sativa w...

Ageing is the phase of gradual decline of body efficiency and metabolic activities after reaching a maturity stage. Free radicals cause oxidative alterations in collagen, elastin material and changes in membrane characteristics and induce polymerization reactions. Use of topical antioxidants can overcome some of these effects and retard actinic ageing. Herbal products are popular due to their m...

Six multiparous, ruminally cannulated Holstein cows (46 DIM, 584 kg of BW) and 6 primiparous Holstein cows (35 DIM, 506 kg of BW) were used in two 6 x 6 Latin squares with 21-d periods to examine the effects of level of non-fiber carbohydrate, source of fibrous carbohydrate, and Aspergillus oryzae fermentation extract on intake, digestion, and milk production. Treatments were 42 and 36% non-fib...

Six different crude extracts were obtained from the skin, pulp and whole fruit freeze-dried samples of Baccaurea angulata, an underutilized tropical fruit from Borneo Island of Malaysia. The effect of solvents on; total phenolic contents, total flavonoid contents, total carotene contents, free radical scavenging activities, phosphatidylcholine peroxidation inhibition activities and qualitative–...

Production of intracellular β-xylosidase was studied in cultures of Penicillium janthinellum grown on citrus fruit waste supplemented cultivation media. Both dried orange peel and sweet lime peel could induce the production of this enzyme. The working strain showed a pronounced optimum pH and temperature for β-xylosidase production at 6.0 and 27 °C, respectively. The enzyme production was found...

Pulp & Paper Canada T 93 107:4 (2006) ❘ ❘ ❘ 47 ISPOSAL OF SLUDGES produced from biological wastewater treatment facilities is costly for the pulp and paper industry. A novel biodrying process has been developed that raises the dryness of pulp and paper mill sludge to a solids level where it can be economically combusted in existing boilers [1]. The process involves an aerated biopile, in which ...

AIM To compare and contrast two colorimetric assays used for the measurement of proliferation using two dental pulp cell types: dental pulp stem cells (DPSC) and human dental pulp fibroblasts (HDPF). METHODOLOGY Dental pulp stem cells or HDPF were seeded at 0.25×10(4) cells per well in 96-well plates. Cell proliferation was evaluated after 24-72h. At the end of the experimental period, the su...
