Microwave is the machine, which is very helpful for the food sector. The modern age of life as well as the increasing number of working women requires simplified routines and standardization of foods with lesser preparation time and convenience in usage. The demands of the consumers are the real factor for the success or failure of any food items in the present scenario. The increasing consumer...

Microwave processing of materials is a relatively new technology advancement alternative that provides new approaches for enhancing material properties as well as economic advantages through energy savings and accelerated product development. Factors that hinder the use of microwaves in materials processing are declining, so that prospect for the development of this technology seem to be very p...

in this paper, leaching of lead and cadmium was investigated from porcelain over glaze designs between different colors.  also the effect of microwave heating was considered on leaching of lead and cadmium.  dishes were selected with a decor with the dominant color of gray, red, yellow, blue, and dark blue. amounts of cadmium and lead which leached from the container by acetic acid and orange j...

BACKGROUND There are few cell studies on the direct genotoxic effects of microwave radiation. In this study, cytogenetic effects of microwave radiation alone or in combination with mitomycin C (MMC) were investigated. MATERIALS AND METHODS Lymphocytes from two smoking and four non-smoking donors were exposed for 53 hours in vitro to 1.0 W/m(2) continuous-wave radiation at 18.0 GHz or 10 W/m(2...

Peptide bond synthesis was performed on PEGA beads under microwave radiations. Classical chemical coupling as well as thermolysin catalyzed synthesis was studied, and the effect of microwave radiations on reaction kinetics, beads' integrity, and enzyme activity was assessed. Results demonstrate that microwave radiations can be profitably exploited to improve reaction kinetics in solid phase pep...

Introduction: Fruit polysaccharides, essential health factors in foods, are widely present in edible fruits. Several methods for isolation of polysaccharide are available. Microwave Assisted Extraction (MAE) method is extensively used for separation of polysaccharides. Only little information is available about Psidium guajava L. Fruit Polysaccharide (PFP) and its extraction methods. Objective:...

In this work, effective electric permittivity and magnetic permeability of metallic–dielectric mixtures are extracted from electromagnetic full 3D simulation data in the microwave range. The numerical method used here is the finite integration technique with periodic boundary conditions. Simulated mixtures have periodic extend in directions perpendicular to the direction of the plane wave. Thus...

OBJECTIVE The main objective of this work is to study the effect of low pulsed microwaves on the heart rate variability signals derived from electrocardiogram signals of ten cats irradiated with pulsed microwaves with 5.655GHz. METHODS Electrocardiograms of ten anaesthetized cats were measured and recorded using implanted electrodes before microwave exposure. Rectangular pulses at 5.655GHz, 2...

This paper describes a new low-temperature process underlying the synthesis of highly transparent ultrananocrystalline diamond [UNCD] films by low-pressure and unheated microwave plasma jet-enhanced chemical vapor deposition with Ar-1%CH4-10%H2 gas chemistry. The unique low-pressure/low-temperature [LPLT] plasma jet-enhanced growth even with added H2 and unheated substrates yields UNCD films si...
