we sought to determine levels of oral bioaccessibility of hydroxymethylfurfural (hmf) from frequently consumed dried fruits in iran. fifty samples from frequently consumed types of dried fruits were analyzed for moisture, acidity and hmf content before and after in vitro digestion. besides, bioaccessibility of hmf in dried fruits using an in vitro gastrointestinal digestive model and hmf intake...

An experiment was conducted using male Ross×Ross 708 broiler chicks to determine the effect of oil extraction from corn distillers dried grains with solubles on apparent ileal amino acid digestibility from 23 to 31 d of age. On an as-fed basis, ether extract concentrations were determined as 5.4% (L-distillers dried grains with solubles), 7.9% (M-distillers dried grains with solubles), and 10.5...

in this research, rehydration behavior of dried figs was studied at different temperatures (25, 60, 70, 80, and 90°c). the rehydration kinetic was examined using the four most frequently used empirical models, namely, weibull, peleg, first-order, and exponential association models. the weibull model gave the highest coefficient of determination (r2) and the lowest values of root mean square err...

Interest in dried plum has increased over the past decade due to its promise in restoring bone and preventing bone loss in animal models of osteoporosis. This study compared the effects of dried plum on bone to other dried fruits and further explored the potential mechanisms of action through which dried plum may exert its osteoprotective effects. Adult osteopenic ovariectomized (OVX) C57BL/6 m...

this study aimed to evaluate freeze-dried sera as an alternative to non-freeze dried for detection of anti-leishmania infantum antibodies over the course of 11 months using the direct agglutination test (dat).altogether, 60 serum samples (30 from humans and 30 from dogs) were collected from various geographical locations in iran. all the collected sera were pooled and each pooled serum sample c...

In this work, oven-dried, freeze-dried and spray-dried agaro-oligosaccharide powders were characterized to investigate their physicochemical and antioxidant properties. Agarooligosaccharide powders were shown to exhibit high water solubility index (88.73 – 95.88%), water absorption capacity (0.96 – 2.57 g/g) and oil absorption capacity (0.40 – 0.45 g/g). Agarooligosaccharide powders were shown ...
