This study explores the feasibility of Indonesian sea sand in replacing V–Ti–Fe concentrate for sintering. The influence different additive proportions on sintering index and sinter properties is examined a laboratory by adjusting substitution proportion from 5% to 40%. Results imply that vertical speed utility factor show an apparent decreasing trend, but drum strength, finished product rate r...

Utilization of grapes for juice concentrate production is an important market for grape growers in the San Joaquin Valley. Approximately 536,000 tons of grapes were crushed during the 2001 season for juice concentrate production. The majority of fruit crushed for this purpose was from Thompson Seedless cultivar, In addition, red cultivars such as Royality and Rubired were also used to produce h...

The objective of this study was to determine the chemical compounds of Iranian propolis (IP) extracts and to show flavonoids and phenol effects on methane production, fermentation characteristics and rumen microbial population (in vitro). In this study two diets with different concentrate: forage ratios as (HC: high concentrate) and (MC: middle concentrate), respectively as non-supplemented or ...

ABSTRACT: Edible coatings made from whey protein concentrate (WPC) and gellan gum (G) were investigated for their capacity to preserve the quality of Malus domestica cv Golab apples. WPC and gellan gum coatings at different concentrations plasticized with glycerol (Gly) were tested. Postharvest storage quality condition testes included weight loss, color and texture changes, titratable acidity ...

milk performance (protein and fat content) and milk fatty acids (fa) profile of dairy cows under supplementation with two sources of concentrate, oilseeds (c, cottonseed) at two levels, low (5kg dm/cow/day) and high (7 kg dm/cow/day), and cereal grains (b, barley) at high rate (7 kg dm/cow/day), were studied in three herds (n=36) of spring calving holstein-friesian dairy cows (200 days in milk)...

Angiopoietin-like protein 4 (ANGPTL4) is expressed in bovine ruminal epithelium, making it possible that dietary components or commensal microbes may influence gastrointestinal ANGPTL4 production via interactions at the mucosal surface. Therefore, we conducted 3 experiments to evaluate the effects of dietary concentrate level and VFA infusions on ANGPTL4 abundance in ruminal tissue. In Exp. 1, ...

The goal of the present study was to investigate whether subchronic treatment with grape juice concentrate is able to protect liver and peripheral blood cells against cholesterol-induced injury in rats. The effects of the grape juice concentrate treatment on histopathological changes, immunohistochemistry for cyclo-oxygenase-2 (COX-2), and basal and oxidative DNA damage induced by H2O2 using a ...

Cashew apple juice has the potential to be a natural source of vitamin C and sugar in processed foods. The juice of the cashew apple is obtained by pressing the fleshy peduncle or receptacle, which forms a rounded apple that sits above the true fruit, the cashew nut. Cashew nut allergy is the second most commonly reported tree nut allergy in the United States. To determine if cashew apple juice...

To evaluate the influence of mass of ruminal contents on voluntary intake and ruminal function, five ruminally cannulated steers (550 kg) were fed an orchard grass hay diet ad libitum in a 5 x 5 Latin square experiment. The mass of ruminal contents was altered by adding varying weights of modified tennis balls to the rumen before the initiation of each 15-d experimental period. Treatments consi...
