AIM This study evaluated the antibacterial activity and dimensional stability of irreversible hydrocolloids mixed with different concentrations of chlorhexidine gluconate instead of water. MATERIALS AND METHODS Experimental specimens (45 specimens) were prepared and allocated into three groups of 15 each. Group I: Impression material mixed with distilled water served as control. Groups II and...

Celiac Disease is a chronic entheropathy produced by gluten intolerance, more precisely to certain proteins called prolamines, which causes atrophy of intestinal villi, malabsorption and clinical symptoms that can appear in both childhood and adulthood. This pathogeny, results from the interaction of genetic, immunologic and environmental factors, which produce the lesions on the mucosa of the ...

Introduction The utilisation of food additives becomes more and more important. The red seaweed hydrocolloids agar-agar, carrageenan and furcelleran which are the cell wall polysaccharides and construct differently with a variable amount linked groups are used as a food additive. Red algae belong to the class Rhodophyceae. Agar-agar or short agar, carrageenan and furcelleran are part of the emu...

With a view to set up fast method for assessing the changes brought into starchy matrix by main processing aids (enzymes, hydrocolloids, and emulsifiers) used in bakery products, new device was tested. The Rapid Force Analyzer included fast-heating step of 90 s at constant temperature 100 °C force variations were recorded during entire assay. When wheat starch combined with three different amyl...

In last few decades, indigestible carbohydrates as dietary fiber have attracted interest of food scientists and technologists due to its several physiological benefits. Dietary fibers are generally of two types based on their solubility, i.e. soluble and insoluble dietary fiber. Significant physicochemical properties of dietary fiber include solubility, viscosity, water holding capacity, bulkin...

This article reports on photodielectric properties of hydrocolloids TiO2 particles and Au/TiO2 hybrid lateral dimension ∼200 nm. Illumination the colloids with visible light did not cause measurable changes in their electrical conductivity, while application UV (365 nm) led to photoinduced increase conductivity up 2%. The photogeneration ions water, regardless presence particles, makes a domina...
