Beef strip loins (IMPS 180; n=15) were sectioned in thirds and sections (n=45) were left untreated (CNT) or injected with either a commercial powder conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) source (Powder) or a commercial oil CLA source (Oil), whose major isomers were 18:2cis-9, trans-11 and 18:2trans-10, cis-12 CLA isomers. Fresh Oil steaks had 3.20 and 3.15, Powder steaks had 4.67 and 4.62, and CNT ste...

This study examined the use of hot-air drying in the preparation of pumpkin powder. The drying temperature was varied (50, 60 and 70°C) to determine the effect of temperature on physicochemical properties, powder properties and sorption characteristics of pumpkin powders. The results showed that a drying temperature of 70°C removes moisture from pumpkin slices faster than the lower drying tempe...

objective: an experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of citrus brown snail powder as a source of calcium on growth performance, tibia characteristics, immune response and blood metabolites in broiler chickens.  methods: one hundred and eighty 1-day old chicks were randomly distributed into four treatments, each of which had three replicates. each replicate contains 15 chicks. the t...

The study was undertaken to evaluate some chemical parameters of powder milk available in Mymensingh town. Powder milk samples of six different brands namely Kwality, NIDO, Diploma, Anchor, Farmland & Starship were collected from local market. Powder samples were analyzed to know the chemical (P, acidity, fat, protein, lactose, ash, moisture, solids-not-fat, total solids) characteristics. P, ac...

A potential way of improving the material efficiency and cost effectiveness of the Direct Metal Laser Deposition (DMLD) process is to take powder that is not utilised in each deposition attempt and re-use it in subsequent attempts (powder recycling). Currently, this is not widely implemented for fear of a detrimental effect on part quality. This study examines how powder recycling, using simple...
