BACKGROUND: The use of polysaccharide based edible coatings as a barrier against the solute entry high caloric constituents, such sucrose, is suitable strategy to develop pro-healthy osmo-dehydrated products. OBJECTIVE: This work aims study effect calcium alginate film over drying kinetics strawberries during an osmotic dehydration (OD) treatment at 60°Brix, 4 h, 40°C (sucrose). Also, textural ...

We examined the usefulness of serum colloid osmotic pressure measurement in patients with chronic rather than acutely occurring low serum protein concentrations. We used two oncometers, the IL 186 Weil Oncometer and the Wescor Model 4100; results from the two instruments were interchangeable. Values for the colloid osmotic pressure were compared with those for serum total protein (r = 0.783) an...
