ilk products have been established as excellent sources of carbohydrates and protein in diets for weanling pigs. Dried whey is now considered an essential ingredient in diets for weanling pigs. However, dried whey is the most variable in quality of all the milk products.1 In this paper, we review the process used to produce dried whey to provide insight into the causes of this variability, and ...

Dried scallop is used in Chinese, Japanese, and French cuisines for its unique flavor and taste. The quality of dried scallop is rated according to its clear, shiny brown color, developed by the Maillard reaction between sugars and amino acids. This article reports the colors, represented by L* and a* values, and chemical composition (water, salinity, Brix, proteins, and amino acids) of dried s...

Alginate and β-cyclodextrin were used to produce easily dosable and spray-dried microsystems of a dried blood orange extract with antidysmetabolic properties, obtained from a by-product fluid extract. The spray-dried applied conditions were able to obtain a concentrate dried extract without the loss of AOA and with TPC and TMA values of 35-40% higher than that of the starting material. They wer...

The rehydration characteristics of dehydrated West African pepper leaves were investigated at hydration temperatures of 28, 60, 70, and 80°C. Four treatments were given to the leaves: blanched and sun dried, unblanched and sun dried, blanched and shade dried, and unblanched and shade dried. The hydration process of the dehydrated leaves was adequately described by the Peleg's equation. As the h...

inhalation delivery of aerosolized antibacterials is preferred over conventional methods of delivery for targeting lung infection. the present study is concerned with the development and characterization of a novel, spray dried, aerosolized, chitosan polyelectrolyte complex (pec) based microparticles containing antibacterials for the treatment of lung infections.chitosan polyelectrolyte complex...

in this study, the possibility of microwave finish drying for two types of dried grapes (natural and sultana) was investigated. the samples were washed in water bath at given temperature ranges (25 and 45 c) for 30 to 60 minutes. after dewatering the samples, they were dried using microwave (at two powers: 270 and 450 w) and hot air convective dryer (at 50 c). water gain (%), effective moistu...

BACKGROUND Glycated hemoglobin A1c (A1C) is an important marker in the diagnosis and treatment of diabetes. Dried blood measurement of A1C is useful in large scale epidemiological evaluation of A1C, especially to assess the impact of intervention programs. The possibility of using dried blood for measurement of A1C by the immunoturbidimetric method was explored in the present study. METHOD Bl...

In shallow lakes, floating-leaved plants can produce dense lakebeds that dramatically alter freshwater ecosystems and impact macrobenthic communities. Shorebirds are morphologically diverse utilize different foraging strategies; they partition food resources to achieve coexistence due differences in availability. this study, we defined shorebird guilds using a principal component analysis expla...

Three experiments were conducted to evaluate the efficacy of replacing corn and dried whey with corn gluten meal (CGM) and lactose, and to evaluate two sources of edible-grade dried whey that elicited different postweaning pig growth performances. In Exp. 1, two corn-soybean meal (C-SBM) diets without or with 20% dried whey (C-SBM-DW) were formulated to contain 1.15% lysine. A third diet replac...

The objective of this study was to determine the effects of supplementing dried distillers grains soybean hulls, or combinations of the two to growing beef steers consuming bahiagrass hay. Angus steers were randomly allotted to one of four supplement treatments. Treatments included: 1) dried distillers grains; 2) dried distillers grains/soybean hulls; 3) soybean hulls/distillers grains; 4) soyb...
