this study aimed to examine the effectiveness of combined microwave-ultrasonic pasteurization system on escherichia coli and vitamin c content in sour cherry juice (scj). based on the findings, microwave output power, ultrasound power, and ultrasonic exposure time as well as the microwave-induced temperature were the most effective factors in reducing e. coli and vitamin c content. in addition,...

background: cutaneous leishmaniasis caused by l. major is an important public health problem in endemic areas. the aim of this study was to explore the therapeutic effect of microwave and or infrared radiation in the treatment of lesion induced in balb/c mice by l. major inoculation. methods: the footpad lesion was induced in balb/c mice by inoculation of l. major promastigotes subcutaneously. ...

the effect of pre-treatments in combination with hot air, vacuum and hot-a microwave drying methods the progress of the drying process, and textural, and colour and rehydration rate on button mushroom (agaricus bisporus) slices were investigated. in this work, one of the following methods: hot air, vacuum drying or microwave-assisted convective drying and also different pre-drying treatments, v...

hyssopus of­ficinalis l. is one of the most important medicinal plants. medicinal herbs are contaminated by microorganisms. conventional methods for reducing of microbial loads such as ethylene oxide, propylene oxide and also use of steam are hazardous and instead, non-thermal process such as microwave and gamma radiation are being used widely in order to eliminate the microbial contaminations ...

Objective: A microwave assisted extraction technique was developed to optimize the extraction of mucilage from the fruits of Trichosenthes dioica plant. Materials and Methods: the plant has been extracted by conventional and microwave assisted methods for the isolation of mucilage. Results and Discussion: Microwave extraction at 320 W intensity and 20 min heating duration, 84.92% increase in th...

introduction: tea (camellia sinensis), is the most widely beverage after water across the world. the most important chemical composition in tea is phenolic compounds (catechins) that have antioxidant and anticarcinogenic properties and are benefited for cardiovascular disease. there are two major kinds of tea, black tea and green tea. green tea, is originated in china and dates back to several ...

background: there are many varieties of compounds in chemical and petrochemical wastewater. one of the important members of the chlorophenols (cps) family is ρ-chlorophenol. this pollutant is introduced into the environment through various human activities such as waste incineration, uncontrolled use of wood preservatives, pesticides, fungicides and herbicides, as well as via bleaching the pulp...

dehydration, as one of the practical ways to increase the shelf-life and applicability of yoghurt in various foodstuffs, is normally done by freeze drier (fd) which is an expensive and time-consuming process. for these reasons, in the present study the capability of microwave–vacuum drier (mvd), as an alternative process, was investigated. for doing so, the fat free yoghurt samples of 2.2, 4.2 ...
