on of the most important of sugar beets quality is amount of sodium and potassium, because this compounds are strongly molassogenic and reduction of yield. so , attention on reasons that change this compound in sugar beets and consequently in produced juice are very important. in this study, effect of size of sugar beet (obtained from different areas) on changes of sodium and potassium are inve...

Consuming less sodium and more potassium are components of a healthy diet and reduced cardiovascular disease risk. Racial/ethnic segregation and poverty are both associated with dietary habits, but data linking dietary intake to neighborhood characteristics are limited, particularly in Hispanic and Asian American ethnic enclaves. This study presents relationships between neighborhood-level segr...

This work explores the effect of additives on the pouring temperature in a waterworks and industrial calcium fluoride sludge co-melting system. Two kinds of sludge were mixed in various ratios to find a mixing ratio at which the operating temperature for subsequent additive tests was relatively low. Various proportions of either sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) or potassium carbonate (K2CO3) reagent w...

BACKGROUND Excess sodium intake can lead to hypertension, the primary risk factor for cardiovascular disease. The aim of this study was to investigate the sodium and potassium contents of foodstuff used by infants and children of Pakistan. METHODS We analyzed the sodium and potassium contents of infant milk formula (<6 months), follow up milk formula (>6 months), baby food (cereals), biscuits...

There are various methods for the analysis of Potassium Sorbate and Sodium Benzoate in food products, but a rapid and reliable method for identification of these preservatives in Doogh (an Iranian traditional dairy drink) is a procedure, in which high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) utilized and followed by UV diode array detection of the two preservatives. The aim of this case study w...

Sodium and potassium intake was assessed on the basis of its respective excretion levels in 24 hr urine samples. However, owing to the inconvenience of collection, we evaluated random spot urine for alternative sodium and potassium excretion markers. We included 250 patients who submitted 24 hr- and spot urine for clinical tests. However, 22 patients who showed 24 hr urine creatinine excretion ...
