Flax seeds gum is a heteropolysaccharide consist of neutral and acidic components that makes up approximately 8% seed mass. Flaxseed was extracted from brown flaxseeds by the hot water extraction method. The rheological properties viscosity printing paste were measured. effect on different fabrics (natural synthetic fabrics) studied measuring color strength value (K/S) related parameters printe...

The characteristics and composition of hackberries (Celtis australis L.) from Mediterranean forests were stablished compared to other fruits. Fresh fractionated in peel (19.8%), flesh (49.7%) stone (29.4%). A very high value soluble solids (53.6 ºBrix) was found the flesh. Chromatographic analysis indicated that mainly sucrose (12.8%), glucose (17.5%) fructose (21.8%). An average antioxidant ac...

Flow and dynamic rheological properties of hot thickened soups for consumption by the elderly people with swallowing difficulty (dysphagia) were investigated at a serving temperature of 60°C. In this study, sea mustard soup (SMS) and dried pollock soup (DPS), which have been widely known as favorable hot soups provided in a domestic hospitals and nursing homes for dysphagic patients, were thick...

INTRODUCTION Patients who suffer from chewing and swallowing disorders, i.e. dysphagia, may have difficulties ingesting normal food and liquids. In these patients a texture modified diet may enable that the patient maintain adequate nutrition. However, there is no generally accepted definition of 'texture' that includes measurements describing different food textures. OBJECTIVE Objectively de...

The effects of initial solid concentration and microwave irradiation (MWI) time on the hydrolysis of waste activated sludge (WAS) were investigated. MWI time strongly influenced WAS hydrolysis for all initial solid concentrations of 8.20, 31.51, and 52.88 g VSS/L. For all WAS, the volatile suspended solids (VSS) solubilization degree ranged from 35.6% to 38.4% during a total MWI time of 10 min....

Welan gum is a kind of novel microbial polysaccharide, which is widely produced during the process of microbial growth and metabolism in different external conditions. Welan gum can be used as the thickener, suspending agent, emulsifier, stabilizer, lubricant, film-forming agent and adhesive usage in agriculture. In recent years, finding optimal experimental conditions to maximize the productio...

In complex emulsions, viscosity or viscosity-associated sensory attributes such as creaminess are important for quality assessment and product differentiation. Two sets of emulsions with fat or locust bean gum content being varied at seven levels were developed; the two emulsions at each level had similar apparent viscosity. Additionally, sugar concentration was kept constant either with respec...
