Abstract The article presents the results of studies two samples fenugreek: blue ( Trigonella coerulea (Desr.) Ser.) and hay foenum graecum L.) on set economic, biological biochemical parameters. researched fenugreek have a wide range variability indicators depending terms sowing weather conditions. More rapid development was shown by species summer dates (III decade June) with vegetation perio...

1. Gum arabic is a water-soluble polysaccharide resistant to human gut enzymes and thus can be described as dietary fibre. 2. Using a most-probable-number technique, estimates were made of total anaerobes and of gum-arabic fermenters in the faeces of a volunteer during a control period and during addition of 10 g gum arabic/d to the diet. Using an enrichment technique, the principal bacteria ab...

Research is reviewed on the effects of chewing gum on stress, alertness and cognition (including findings from cognitive neuroscience). There is some evidence that chewing gum reduces chronic stress, while effects on acute stress have been less clear in an experimental context. A robust effect of gum chewing on subjective alertness has been observed. However, findings on chewing gum and cogniti...

Background: Acne vulgaris is a multi-factorial disease affecting many aspects of life. This study was conducted to compare the efficacy of fenugreek seed extract and oral azithromycin in the treatment of acne vulgaris. Methods: A total of 20 patients with acne vulgaris aged between 12 and 30 years old were entered into this 60-day, randomized, placebo-controlled, triple-blind study. The patient...

The experiment examined the prediction that chewing gum at learning and/or recall facilitated subsequent word recall. Chewing gum at learning significantly impaired recall, indicating that the chewing of gum has a detrimental impact upon initial word encoding. In addition, a context-dependent memory effect was reported for those participants who both learned and recalled in the absence of gum; ...

People of all cultures chew gum, and a variety of gums and gum-like substances have been enjoyed for thousands of years. The introduction and subsequent success of Nicotine chewing gum in the 1980’s paved the way for a more general acceptance of chewing gum as a drug delivery system. Improved technology and extended knowledge, together with the inclusion of medical chewing gum in the European P...

In a study published previously in this journal (Wilkinson et al., 2002), the effect of chewing gum on cognitive functioning was examined. The results of this study indicated that chewing a piece of gum results in an improvement of working memory and of both immediate and delayed recall of words but not of attention. In the present study, memory and a variety of attentional functions of healthy...

This study aimed to obtain the optimum formulation for stabilizers in ice cream that could contest with blends presented nowadays. Thus, different mixtures of three stabilizers, i.e. basil seed gum, carboxymethyl cellulose, and guar gum, at two concentrations (0.15 % & 0.35 %) were studied using mixture design methodology. The influence of these mixtures on some properties of ice cream and the ...
