PURPOSE Epoprostenol, used for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), has a number of limitations related to its short half-life in aqueous solution. The aim of this study was to evaluate the stability and microbiological properties of a new formulation, namely epoprostenol sodium with arginine and mannitol excipients (epoprostenol AM; Veletri®; Actelion Pharmaceuticals Ltd, Al...

Introduction: Tooth avulsion is defined as the complete displacement of the tooth from its alveolar socket which causes damage to the periodontal ligament structure, cementum, alveolar bone, gingiva, and dental pulp. The purpose of this study was to determine the ability of long-shelf life honey milk to serve as a temporary storage medium for the maintenance of periodontal ligament (PDL) cell v...

The aim of this project was to investigate and develop models for the shelf life of bottled wine and, in particular, the effects of elevated temperatures on the aging process. The MISG group divided the problem into three sub-problems. First, calculations were made to describe the temperature of wine in a single bottle when subjected to an elevated external temperature and then this was extende...

In this study, microbiological, sensory and color changes in vacuum-packed meagre fillets treated with aqueous ozone for different periods of time were investigated. Meagre 15 (O-15) 30 (O-30) minutes stored at +2 °C 12 days. Control group (C) was not after vacuum packaging. For microbiological changes, Total Mesophilic Aerobic Bacteria (TMAB), Pseudomonas sp. , Lactic Acid (LAB) Psychrophilic ...

The possible use of chitosan coating on fresh-cut melons ( Cucumis melo var. Cantalupensis ) was investigated in this research topic. Manually sliced were treated with solutions 10 g/kg and calcium lactate then stored at 4°C for 8 days. Physical, physicochemical, microbiological sensory properties the samples monitored during storage period. It found that coatings inhibited growth microorganism...

Sensory evaluation is the ideal tool for shelf-life determination. With the objective to develop an easy shelf-life indicator, color (L*, a*, b*, chroma and hue angle), total soluble solids (TSS), firmness (F), pH, acidity, and the sensory attributes of appearance, brightness, browning, odor, flavor, texture, color, acidity and sweetness were evaluated in fresh cut mangoes (FCM) stored at 5, 10...

The use of disinfection agents in the washing processing ready-to-eat (RTE) vegetables, especially sodium hypochlorite, is a common industrial practice performed to enhance microbiological quality. However, some studies have reported restart bacterial growth and substantial increase load during early storage associated with agents, which might represent risk for consumers. We evaluated effect h...

Different methods have been developed to extend the shelf-life of meat and its products ranging from the traditional use of salt to canning, freezing and modified-atmosphere packaging. As well as these more conventional approaches to meat preservation, the use of ionizing radiation has also been extensively studied over many years. The irradiation sources which are permitted for use with food a...

barbari is one of the common flat breads iniranwhich has short shelf life as other flat breads. hurdle technology has been recently developed to produce the safe, sustainable, nutritious, delicious and economical foods. it is considered as intelligent use of different preservation methods to obtain the moderate and trustable storage of foods. in this investigation the effects of polyol (propyle...
