Raw milk for UHT processing at commercial dairy plant was collected from well managed dairy farms. The milk was processed by direct system and heated at 143145oC for 3-5S, then aseptically packed. Three different batches of UHT milk were used in this study. Samples of UHT milk were analysed after processing and during storage at 4, 22 and 37oC ± 2°C for 6 months. The changes in pH, acidity as l...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate in vitro the endogenous pH, titratable acidity and total soluble solid content (TSSC) of mouthwashes available in the Brazilian market. METHODS The study sample was composed of 10 commercial brands of mouthwashes based on different active ingredients: Cepacol(R), Clinerize(R), Equate(R), Listerine Cool Citrus(R), Oral-B(R), Periogard(R), Peroxyl(R), Plax Overnight(R), P...

Changes of physico-chemical properties such as size, weight, moisture content, total soluble solid (TSS), colour, pH, total acidity and sugar content of red seedless watermelon during storage at room temperature (± 28oC; 70-80% RH) were investigated. The average weight, diameter and length of red seedless watermelon were 5.94 kg, 22.0 cm and 21.8 cm respectively. The length to diameter ratio wa...

the physical and physiological characteristics of sarawak pineapple were studied at five different stages of growth from one to five months after anthesis. changes in fruit length, diameter, pulp color, pulp firmness, ph, total soluble solids, titratable acidity, ascorbic acid content and antioxidant activity were monitored. the sarawak pineapple exhibited a sigmoid growth pattern during fruit ...

in this research the effect of oil type, process time ,temperature and pre-treating methods on moisture content, oil uptake, acidity and peroxide values of zucchini slices (cucurbita pepo. l) during deep fat frying process were investigated. the samples were pretreated by blanching (97 ºc for 5 min) and microwave (900 w for 2min) methods before frying process. frying experiments were carried ou...

Peptic ulcer is a common disorder of the stomach and duodenum. Herbs and medicinal plants are considered to be a potential source to combat various diseases including gastric ulcer. The present study was conducted to evaluate the gastro protective effects of Echinacea extract, Green tea extract and Boswellia extract on a pyloric ligation-induced gastric ulcer. Six groups of rats were intraperit...

Associations between stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD) and sterol regulatory element binding protein (SREBP-1) gene polymorphisms and milk production, composition (fat, protein, and casein content), acidity (pH and titratable acidity) and coagulation properties (MCP), namely rennet coagulation time (RCT, min) and curd fi rmness (a30, mm) were investigated on individual Brown Swiss milk. A total of ...
