Graph Microbial transglutaminase (MTGase) is an enzyme widely used in the food industry. In this study, MTGase had been applied to produce fresh cheese made from whole milk powder. To evaluate impact of factors reconstituted under treatment MTGase, a set 18 experiments was conducted. Besides, response surface methodology (a central composite design) quality properties according objective functi...

Introduction : Recent developments in finite element dynamic modeling of a seated subject have created a need for knowing the dynamic compression properties of soft tissues. An experimental procedure has been developed to obtain a dynamic characterization of buttock tissues. The aim of this study was to test the porcine Gluteus maximus muscle and to evaluate the influence of the conservation on...

Preservative fruits have gained popularity in recent years as part of food consumption, but their benefits towards human health are not known. This study compared total phenolic (TPC), total flavonoid (TFC), β-carotene, lycopene, ascorbic acid (AA) contents and antioxidant properties between fresh and pickled papaya. The results indicated that mean TPC (mg gallic acid equivalent/100 g dry sampl...

Bio-nanocomposite films based on sago starch containing 2% cinnamon essential oil and 3% titanium dioxide nanoparticles were used in the packaging of fresh pistachios and stored at different temperatures (4, 25, and 35 ˚C) and relative humidity (30, 50, and 70%) for 20 days, and pistachio properties were evaluated in five-day intervals. Using these films in packaging improved the physicochemica...
