background: emulsions are thermodynamically unstable systems that can be kinetically stable by adding substances known as emulsifiers and/or thickening agents. by respect to the functional properties of gum tragacanth (gt), and its breakage probability during irradiation treatment, the major aim of this study was to investigate the stability of oil in water emulsion in the presence of different...

current interests towards lowering fat content in food products and producing healthier and safer foods, have convinced ice cream manufacturers to substitute milk fat in ice cream with either carbohydrate or protein based fat replacers. in the present work, reduced-fat ice cream (5% fat) was produced using milk protein concentrate (65%) and inulin as fat replacers (0, 2 and 4%) as well as two t...

this review reports recent advances in the field of polymer–layered silicate nano composites. thesematerials have attracted both academic and industrial attention because they exhibit dramaticimprovement in properties at very low filler contents. herein, the structure, preparation andproperties of polymer–layered silicate nanocomposites are discussed in general, and finally the effectof clay na...

Farinograph is the most frequently used equipment for empirical rheological measurements of dough. It’suseful to illustrate quality of flour, behavior of dough during mechanical handling and texturalcharacteristics of finished products. The percentage of water absorption and the development time of doughare the most important parameters of farinography for bakery industries during production. H...

physicochemical and mechanical properties of wheat grains can have a great impact on the quality of the final products (bread). therefore, correct selection of wheat cultivar for specific applications seems to be crucial. in this study, the differences in the physicochemical and mechanical properties (under compression and impact loadings) of ten iranian wheat cultivars (azar2, alamut, bam, bah...

in this research, seeds of iranian carob trees grown wild in kazeroon city (fars province) were used to extract iranian locust bean gum as a seed galactomannan. chemical composition, solubility, and rheological properties of crude and purified gums were investigated and compared with a commercial (sigma) locust bean gum (lbg) sample. chemical composition of the purified iranian lbg was similar ...

The functional properties of alkali soluble chicken meat protein/starch blend were studied in three phases. In the first phase chicken breast meat powder was solubilized with alkali in a 2  2 factorial experiment. The results from microscopic appearance, microscopy, SEM, consistency, solubility, X-ray diffractometry, SDS-Page showed changes in microstructural, textural and molecular weight of ...
