The high-methoxyl pectin of citrus was used to prepare a fat substitute and applied the processing technology moon-cake skin. physical, chemical, sensory properties substitutes prepared skins were studied by selecting texture properties, rheological water distribution, water-holding capacity. Results showed that gel hardness glucan–sucrose (G-SG) (glucan/sucrose = 4:6) as synergistic 6.23 ± 0.1...

With each new tool the insurance industry obtains to evaluate both states of health and states of disease, the temptation exists to use it in as many contexts as possible. The initial understanding in the mid-1960’s that diabetic individuals have different percentages of specific hemoglobins has led to the study and refinement of the hemoglobin Alc (HbAlc), which is being used increasingly by c...

In the paper the novel soft magnetic composite system is investigated. A ferrofluid emulsion studied demonstrates the strong magnetic properties which are atypical for commonly known emulsions. Interaction of ferrofluid emulsions with a magnetic field is considered. Structural transformations in these media, such as deformation of emulsion microdroplets and emulsion inversion, are studied. The ...

We have previously reported our attempts to produce microbubble aggregations, by making use of Bjerknes force, which acts to propel microbubbles and to adjust the size of aggregations. However, because we have used simple shape of artificial blood vessels, the behavior of aggregations in a capillary, e.g., probability to obstruct in bloodstream, possibility of embolization, has not been predict...

Viscoelasticity of porcine skin and its material substitute, modelled by variously concentrated bovine gelatin, was determined in static (creep test) dynamic (oscillatory mode the means rotational rheometry to obtain creep compliance complex shear modulus. Mechanical properties characterization also supplemented with large deformation compression test order determine correlate moduli gelatin co...

Because skin color directly reflects every pathological change of skin that causes modification of its optical characteristics, it is vital information in dermatological diagnosis. Photographs have played a substantial role for a long time in recording skin lesions, and recently digital imaging has been introduced for this purpose. But the quality of skin color images reproduced by any currentl...
