date fruit, containing a substantial amount of carbohydrates is considered as an important agricultural product in iran. in this research, the objective was the use date fruit wastes to produce bioethanol. for better understanding of the fermentation process the changes in sugar content, as well as the amount of produced bioethanol and carbon dioxide were periodically measured and modeled while...

abstract halwa-ardeh is a traditional food in iran and middle east countries, which is produced by crushing the dehulled sesame seeds and then mixing with a proper sweetener such as grape concentrate, date syrup, and honey. the oil content of this product is on the average of 57-65% (w/w). in this research, the effect of different levels of fat substitutes including guar gum (of 0.1, 0.15 and 0...

In the hot summer months of nineteenth-century colonial Australia, a quiet dread descended upon parents of the very young. Diarrhoea was about to assert its role as the greatest single threat to the lives of their infants.1 Between 1875 and 1900 Australian vital statistical records matched those of Europe, Britain and America,2 revealing a pattern in which infant diarrhoeal mortality accounted ...

Shoots of Picea abies (Norwegian spruce) are traditional material for syrup production in the small and medium sized food industry in Northern Finland. The shoot products are believed to be beneficial to one’s health because of their purity and nutritional value, e.g. high mineral, ascorbic acid and flavonoid content. They are also valued for their essential oil content and the forest aroma. In...

a solid state fermentation method was developed for the production of citric acid from date pulp (obtained of date syrup production from the process) by aspergillus niger ptcc 5010. poor yield was obtained when potassium ferrocyanide treated date pulp were used as substrate, but methanol at a 3-4% concentration markedly increased the forma-tion of citric acid from the waste. the optimum range o...
