An investigation was conducted to assess the effect of incorporation of dried apple pomace (DAP) and corn bran (CB) as dietary fi bre sources on organoleptic, thiobarbituric acid reacting substance (TBARS) value and microbial quality characteristics of chevon rolls during refrigerated storage. DAP, CB and their combination (DAP+CB) were used at 6%, 3% and 2%+ 3% level respectively by replacing ...

Fillets of a hake, Merluccius merluccius hubbsi, were exposed to 2 kGy, 6 kGy, and 10 kGy of ionizing radIation from a Cobalt 60 source and were subsequently stored frozen at 0 degree C. Both these irradiated samples and control samples were examined to determine their bacterial counts and organoleptic qualities (texture, elasticity odor, color, and drip loss) for a period of seven weeks follow...

AIMS To determine the efficacy of neutral electrolyzed water (NEW) in killing Escherichia coli O157:H7, Salmonella enteritidis and Listeria monocytogenes, as well as nonpathogenic E. coli, on the surface of tomatoes, and to evaluate the effect of rinsing with NEW on the organoleptic characteristics of the tomatoes. METHODS AND RESULTS The bactericidal activity of NEW, containing 444 or 89 mg ...

We assessed the acceptability of 3 micronutrient supplements for pregnant and lactating women: micronutrient powder (Sprinkles), a fortified food (Nutrivida), and tablets. Pregnant or lactating beneficiaries of the Oportunidades program participating in a cluster randomized supplementation trial in urban Mexico were surveyed about the acceptability of 1 of 3 supplements (n = 268). Semistructure...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of Supplementations of teff (Eragrostis teff (ZUCC.) Trotter) grain flour to wheat flour at 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20% levels on organoleptic and nutritional evaluation of the supplemented bread. Protein, moisture, ash and falling number as well as rheological evaluation were estimated for prepared flour blends and dough. Besides, organoleptic assessme...

This study evaluated the production of five new pomegranate varieties (MAP 14 , AKP15 , DMWP 2, NMRP 7 and JBP 1), being all indigenous to Southeastern India where the species shows high variability. A morphological and organoleptic characterisation of the edible portion of the seeds were investigated. Some chemical characteristics of the juice, including total soluble solids, pH, acidity and m...

the objectives of this paper were production of probiotic yoghurt using l. paracasei ssp. tolerans, and evaluation of ph changes, viable counts, and organoleptic properties of the produced yoghurt. it was observed that the ph decrease during the fermentation period was faster in the milk inoculated with l. paracasei ssp. tolerans plus starter culture. there was a gradual decrease in ph in both ...
