nine organic substrates viz., rice grains, sorghum grains, wheat grains, millet grains, wheat straw, rice husk, cow dung, sawdust, and poultry manure were used for mass multiplication of trichoderma harzianum. of these,sorghum grains followed by millet grains were the best substrates. the poultry manure appeared to be the most unsuitable substrate, whereas rice grains, wheat grains, wheat straw...

this study evaluated the antibacterial and antioxidant effects of tamarind water solution on shelf life of silver carp ( hypophthalmicthys molitrix ) fillet during refrigerator storage. treatments of this study were unwashed samples (control), and samples washed with 1% and 2% tamarind water solution. microbial, physicochemical and sensory analysis including total viable count (tvc), peroxide v...

in this research, a novel formulation of sponge cake was studied. instant tea powder (itp) with high ester-catechins content was used to replace 0, 7.5, 12.5, and 17.5% of flour to make sponge cakes, hereafter referred to as the control, itp1, itp2, and itp3, respectively. the microbiological analysis and lipid oxidation experiments were conducted and the odor, flavor, color, chewiness, and ove...

we examined the effectiveness of intermittent warming (iw), hot water (hw), salicylic acid (sa), and calcium chloride (cacl2) on the postharvest life of pomegranate fruit cv. ‘shishe-kab’ and extending fruit shelf life during cold storage (3°c). fruit were subjected to cycles of 1 d at 17 ± 1°c every 6 d of storage at 3°c under iw conditions. pre-storage treatments were hw (50°c) for 3 min, sa ...

Cyclodextrins (CDs) are a family of cyclic oligosaccharides which are composed of α (1,4) -linked glucopyranose subunits. Thebest-characterized forms are α, β and γ CD which are consisted of six, seven and eight D-glucose units, respectively. Cyclodextrins are produced from starch by enzymatic degradation. These macrocyclic carbohydrates with polar internal cavities can form complexes with and ...

Several issues concerning endoscope reprocessing remain unresolved based on currently available data. Thus, further studies are required to confirm standard practices including safe endoscope shelf life, proper frequency of replacement of some accessories including water bottles and connecting tubes, and microbiological surveillance testing of endoscopes after reprocessing. The efficacy and cos...
