The aim of this study was to analyze effect cherry tomato paste for nitrite replacement on loin ham. Loin hams were prepared with at three levels curing solutions (control: NPS 1.2%, salt 1.2% and 1%, 3%, 5%). pH tended decrease as the amount increased. lightness decreased a significant difference increased (p<0.05). Yellowness chroma increase in paste, while redness hue angle treatment 3% t...

To simplify the selection of remote targets on large displays, a novel technique called ShifTable is presented in this paper. With ShifTable, users move a finger or a pen towards a desired target, and the whole screen carrying the target shifts faster in the opposite direction, towards the finger or pen. We conducted two experiments to compare ShifTable with unaided direct selection (baseline),...

We have performed several studies to determine the electrochemical properties of Cu(II) binding by alfalfa biomass using carbon paste alfalfa-modified electrodes. Experimental conditions such as alfalfa-carbon paste concentrations, solution pH, and metal preconcentration times were determined. Results of the electro-chemical studies have shown that an increase in response was observed by increa...

One of the main challenges facing the electronics manufacturing industry in solder paste printing for ultra-fine pitch surface mount and flip-chip assembly is the difficulty in achieving consistent paste deposit volumes from pad-to-pad. At the very small aperture geometries required for ultra-fine pitch and flip chip assembly, flow properties of the paste becomes one of the dominant factors in ...

A new method was developed for simultaneous determination of copper, lead, and cadmium, based on their voltammetric response at a carbon paste electrode modified with hexagonal mesoporous silica (HMS) immobilized quercetin (HMS-Qu/CPE). Compared with quercetin modified carbon paste electrode (Qu/CPE) and quercetin ionic liquid modified carbon paste electrode (Qu-IL/CPE), the HMS-Qu/CPE exhibite...

A new biomaterial is presented which consists of a cellulose derivative--silanised hydroxyethylcellulose (HEC-SIL) and biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP). Rheological properties of the polymer itself and its mixture with BCP are pH-dependent. At pH 10-12 HEC-SIL is liquid and undergoes quick gellation at pH < 9. Similarly, the paste of HEC-SIL and BCP is fluid and injectable at higher pH and soli...

Octenyl succinic anhydride (OSA) modified early Indica rice starch was prepared in aqueous slurry systems using response surface methodology. The paste properties of the OSA starch were also investigated. Results indicated that the suitable parameters for the preparation of OSA starch from early Indica rice starch were as follows: reaction period 4 h, reaction temperature 33.4 °C, pH of reactio...

Carbon paste electrodes have been modified with some lipidsfor the sensitive and selective detection of the antidepressant (Desipramine). Voltammetric experimental conditions were optimized taking into account the importance of quantifying desipramine in the complex media and in the pharmaceutical formulations. The sensor(Lauric acid modified carbon paste electrode) responds to desipramine givi...
