Background and Objective: Quick-frozen dumpling is widely consumed in China. Inclusion Potato Granule (PG) into dumpling wrappers will extend utilization of this cheap flour in the staple food. The objective of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of partial substitution of wheat flour with PG in the dumpling wrappers. Methodology: In this study, cooking qualities of dumpling wrappers con...

This study investigated the effect of addition hydrocolloids (hydroxypropyl methylcellulose: HPMC, and xanthan) frozen storage on structure rheological properties roti dough supplemented with rice bran. The was by air blast freezing stored at -18 °C for 84 days. Changes in protein HPMC produced greater changes gluten network random coil conformations than that xanthan during storage. resistance...

The influence of polyols as cosurfactants (propylene glycol PG; glycerol G) and short chain alcohol as a cosolvent (ethanol EtOH) on the formation and solubilization capacity of the systems: hexadecane/monoacylglycerols (MAG)/polyol/water:EtOH, at 60 °C, was investigated. Electrical conductivity measurement, and the DSC method were applied to determine the structure and type of microemulsions f...

We have investigated the dynamics of water confined in mesostructured porous silicas (SBA-15, MCM-41) and four periodic mesoporous organosilicas (PMOs) by dielectric relaxation spectroscopy. The influence water-surface interaction has been controlled carefully designed surface chemistry PMOs that involved organic bridges connecting silica moieties with different repetition lengths, hydrophilici...

Diapausing embryos of Austrofundulus limnaeus survive desiccating conditions by reducing evaporative water loss. Over 40% of diapause II embryos survive 113 days of exposure to 75.5% relative humidity. An early loss of water from the perivitelline space occurs during days 1-2, but thereafter, rates of water loss are reduced to near zero. No dehydration of the embryonic tissue is indicated based...

The freezing behaviour studies of dormant buds, were examined, employing scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and light microscopy. The differences and effect of freezing behaviour on dormant buds were observed. The dormant bud primordia of several woody plant species avoid freezing injury by deep supercooling. By slow cooling (5C/day) of dormant buds to –30C, all living cells in bud tissues exhi...

Degree of hydration (DOH) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurements are used to characterize the effect of early exposure to a 90% relative humidity (RH) environment on cement paste hydration. Early exposure to a 90% RH environment can lead t9 the consumption of freezable water and altered microstructural development. The minimum duration of 100% RHcuring required to eliminate th...

Understanding water–biopolymer interactions, which strongly affect the function and properties of biopolymer-based tissue engineering and drug delivery materials, remains a challenge. Chitosan, which is an important biopolymer for the construction of artificial tissue grafts and for drug delivery, has attracted extensive attention in recent decades, where neutralization with an alkali solution ...

The dynamic properties of water molecules in the rabbit lens were studied by proton nuclear magnetic resonance line shape analysis, measurements of relaxation times as a function of temperature and calorimetric measurements. The experiments prove, as already suggested by other authors, that there are two types of water in the lens of rabbit eyes, namely bound unfreezable hydration water and bul...
