The question of whether food additives such as preservatives, artificial flavorings, and artificial colorings trigger hyperactivity has been debated for more than 30 years. Research generally has not supported food additives as influencing hyperactivity—whose characteristics include overactivity, inattention, and impulsive behaviors, traits that in extreme forms define attention deficit/hyperac...

The Stochastic Finite Element Method has seen a number of incarnations over the past few years, ranging from perturbation-based methods, and Neumann-expansion based methods, to methods for evaluating bounds on the response variability, and more recent functional expansions combined with error minimization techniques. Of these, only the last class of methods provides an explicit expression to th...

acid-binding capacity (abc) of a feed is the amount of acid required to reduce the ph of feed to a special level such as 3. all poultry feed ingredients used in this study were collected from feed mills in iran. the ph and abc were determined using the standard methods in deionized and magnetized water at room and body temperatures. the ph of most feed ingredients was raised in magnetized water...

In this report, the team aimed to classify 20 types of cuisines by analyzing the ingredient lists. The team approached this problem by building several feature sets and trained them with different classification algorithms. The result shows that the logistic regression is able to achieve the highest performance with an accuracy of 78.4%. The error distribution of each class is analyzed for furt...

The enzymatic hydrolysis of the particular quality of raw material yield natural free amino acids and low molecular weight peptides in an ideal synergetic mixture. Tests made also directly on hair have shown the excellent properties of KELYAMIN for hair care formulations. The free amino acids are capable of penetrating the hair shaft whereas the peptides with their film-forming properties compl...

In thinking about components of the brain that are important for mental function, there are several obvious things to consider. The brain's wiring diagram, embodied by the structural connectivity, is one feature. Graph theory metrics applied to anatomical networks have shown patterns that are consistent with a small-world network with dense local connections and sparser distal connections (Bull...

Background: Obesity as a developing global challenge can be characterized by increase in adipocyte number and size arising from adipogenesis. Control of adipogenesis, as a potential strategy, can prevent and manage obesity. So far, the effectiveness of herbal medicine and active ingredients therapies for obesity and metabolic syndrome treatment has been investigated. In this study, a novel comb...

“Food additives” is a general term referring to anything added to food to achieve specific functions, for example, to aid in food processing, to increase the product’s nutritive value, to enhance the product’s palatability through regulating its physicochemical properties, and to extend the product’s storage stability. In muscle food processing, both synthetic and natural, generally recognized ...
