In current study, the effects of Iranian rice cooking method (Kateh) on residue levels of 41 pesticides were investigated. The pesticides were selected according to Iranian National Standards Organization (INSO) regulations and covered 18 permitted and 23 banned pesticides belonging to different chemical classes such as organophosphate, triazole, and carbamate. A 250 g portion of rice sample wa...

The principal objective of this study was to investigate the effect of household processing, including washing and cooking on pesticide residue levels in various food samples. For this study, 31 food materials were selected and 44 pesticide residues were monitored using the “quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe” QuEChERS extraction-based and liquid chromatographyetandem mass spectrom...

Four vegetables brinjal, bitter gourd, colocasia and tomato were subjected for total protein, crude fiber, ash calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, ascorbic acid and folic acid contents in raw peeled raw cooked and peeled cooked forms. Losses of nutrients due to peeling and cooking were determined. The loss of protein was non-significant during peeling and was significant during cooking e...

Seaweeds contain high levels of minerals, vitamins, essential amino acids, indigestible carbohydrates, and dietary fiber. The objective of this study was to compare Spirulina seaweed yellow alkaline noodles made with different levels of green seaweed to make Yellow alkaline noodle products of high nutritional quality with rich fiber content. Green seaweed powder (Spirulina) was incorporated in ...

in this work, the effects of acetic and lactic acids addition to rice during cooking, on the texture and morphological properties, and too, the gelatinization temperature (gt) of the cooked domsiyah rice was investigated. all experiments were carried out in triplicate and data analyzed in randomized completely by spss15 software. the results showed that acid addition to rice during cooking caus...

< Cooking can generate appreciable aerosol within the area where cooking takes place. < Cooking aerosol is largely within the respirable size range. < Fatty acids and dicarboxylic acids are major components. < Other constituents are alkanones, alkanals, lactones, PAH, sterols and alkanes. < Raw food, cooking oil, cooking style and temperature affect aerosol composition. a r t i c l e i n f o

the effects of dough fortification with different amounts of gluten and full fat soya flour on the quality of spaghetti were investigated. rheological properties of dough, quality and sensory characteristics of spaghetti with different amounts of gluten (8 to 14%) and full fat soya flour (0 to 20%) were evaluated. fortification caused improvement in some characteristics such as dough stability ...

Grain quality currently represents a major problem in high yielding rice production in Iran and many other rice producing areas of the world. Quality assessment of rice involves the function of sensory tests and physicochemical determinations based on the chemical composition, cooking quality, gelatinization temperature and physical properties of cooked rice. These research genetic materials we...
