this experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of mint powder added to diet with different levels of wheat on performance, microbial population and carcass characteristics of broiler chickens. a total of 384 ross male broiler chickens were used in a completely randomized design in a 4×2 factorial arrangement with 4 replicates (floor pens) and 12 birds each. birds were fed diets contain...

To study the effect of herb ginger powder on performance, carcass characteristics and blood parameters of broilers used from 192 broiler chicks (Ross ) in a completely randomized design with 4 treatments and 4 replicates ( each replicate of 12 chicks ). All treatments, including different levels of ginger powder ratios of 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5 percent respectively called T1, 2T, T3 and T4 that were ad...

To develop the combustion characteristics of aluminum powder in steam, the ignition and combustion process of aluminum powder with different additives (KBH4, ammonium perchlorate (AP) and NaCl) addition at different levels were studied using a transparent pipe furnace. The temperature variation of these samples was measured using a thermocouple, and a high-speed camera was used to record combus...

The bulk SnO2 was synthesized by oxidizing the fine powder (50 mesh) of metallic tin (purity 99.99, Aldrich) powder at 750°C for 9 hrs hours in programmable temperature controlled furnace. The gross structure and phase purity of the powder sample ground from sintered pellets were examined by powder X-ray diffraction technique. The phase identification /gross structural characteristics of synthe...

Calocybe indica, known as milky white mushroom, grows and cultivated in the sub-tropical and temperate zones of South Asia. We investigated the most suitable supplements and their levels for the commercial cultivation of milky white mushroom. Rice bran, maize powder, and wheat bran with their different levels (10, 20, 30, 40, and 50%) were used as supplements to evaluate the yield and yield con...

In this study, the influence of lactic acid fermentation on the quality of tomato powder was evaluated. The effect of adding fermented tomato powder to ready-to-cook minced pork meat to improve its nutritional value and sensory characteristics was also analysed. The cell growth of Lactobacillus sakei (7.53 log CFU/g) was more intense in the medium containing tomato powder, compared to the growt...

Stickiness of powder particles is often responsible for their impaired flow characteristics. Stickiness resulted from glass transition showing a relationship with mechanical -relaxations, and stickiness occurred differently in dairy solids modified in their lactose and protein contents. Glass transition, -relaxation and stickiness properties of milk solids systems were related to their solids c...

Spray-drying, which has been used for commercial production of functional ingredients from several fruits and vegetables, has not yet been studied for sweetpotato processing. Thus, the objective was to determine the effects of viscosity reduction of sweetpotato puree with alpha-amylase, maltodextrin (MD) addition, and inlet air temperature on the physicochemical characteristics of spray-dried s...
