abstract: kefir is fermented milk that has a unique flavor because of acetaldehyde, diacetyl, acetoin and ethanol. the aim of this study was to evaluate flavor and aroma compounds present in kefir. two types of starter (christian hansen and sacco) and three levels of temperatures (30, 33 and 35oc) were used for the preparation of kefir samples. the samples were analyzed for acetaldehyde, diacet...

Background. L-asparaginase is effective in treating canine and feline lymphoma, however chemotherapy poses a significant financial cost to veterinary clients, limiting therapy for many pets. Single dose vials result in significant drug wastage, and drug shortages limit consistent availability for pets. Hypothesis. E. coli-derived asparaginase retains enzymatic and antineoplastic activity in can...

This study was performed to investigate the effect of storage conditions on seed germination performance of faba bean (cv. Shami). For this purpose, a three factors factorial experiment was conducted in laboratory of Seed Science and Technology, Faculty of Agriculture, Yasouj University, in 2013-2014, based on CRD design with five replications.  The experimental factors were storage temperature...

In this study, the biospeckle technique was evaluated for monitoring of apple bull's eye rot development and product quality in general, during storage under various conditions and during subsequent shelf life. This non-destructive optical method is based on the analysis of laser light variations scattered from the sample. Apples of the cultivars 'Pinova' and 'Topaz', susceptible to bull's eye ...

The effect of temperature and moisture on the activation of two forms of Oxalis latifolia Kunth bulbs —common and Cornwall— was studied. Gaining knowledge about the conditions needed for their activation may contribute to the control of this weed. Bulbs were kept in a refrigerator at +4°C for 13, 20, 27, 41, 48 and 55 days. At each sampling date, three sets of 30 bulbs of both forms were transf...

Modern buildings in cold climates, like Norway, may have simultaneous heating and cooling demands. For these buildings, integrated systems with heat pumps, as well short-term long-term thermal storage, are promising solutions. Furthermore, combining this system renewables aids the transition to future sustainable building energy systems. However, cost-effectively designing operating such a comp...

Environmental storage conditions, particularly air temperature, relative humidity and air velocity, have a major role in maintaining fruit and vegetable quality during cold storage. The constant low temperature, high relative humidity (RH) and moderate air flow are important to limit perishable quality. Storage temperature controls must be well calibrated to maintain a precise level of control....
