Butter is separated from cream using ultrasonication method. The efficiency of butter preparation is evaluated with respect to various parameters such as time, dilution, fermentation time using ultrasonication at room temperature and compares the yield with conventional stirring method. All the parameters were critically studied and it is observed maximum yield was obtained for sonication time ...

Cocoa beans are rich in a number of beneficial bioactive compounds that are good for health. However, they have not been exploited to their fullest to produce high quality extract containing stable bioactive compound. The main objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of the different solvent used for extraction on yield of cocoa butter extracts, oxidative value, phytosterols c...

(1.5), high-IA (2.3), and bulk tank-IA (1.9). Corresponding values for Cheddar were 2.1, 3.4, and 2.4 and for provolone 1.6, 2.6, and 2.1. Panels detected no differences in flavor notes for the three IA types of butter. For Cheddar, sour and bitter flavor notes approached but did not achieve significance at 0.05. Provolone showed differences in buttery flavor, with both highand low-IA being sig...

Mango butter was explored as a functional, natural supplement and active skin ingredient in skin care formulations. A foot care cream was developed with mango butter to evaluate its medicinal value and protective function in skin repair. Qualitative comparison and clinical case studies of the product were carried out. Wound healing potential of foot care cream was investigated on the rat excisi...

In complex task domains, such as games, students may exceed their teachers. Such tasks afford diverse means to tradeoff one type of performance for another, combining task elements in novel ways to yield method variations and strategy discoveries that, if mastered, might produce large or small leaps in performance. For the researcher interested in the development of extreme expertise in the wil...

Shea butter oil (SBO) is underutilized in the biodiesel production industry Nigeria because of its high free fatty acid (FFA) content, which reduces yield.

Fresh grass in the cow diet improves the rheological and nutritional properties of butter. However, the relationship between the proportion of fresh grass in the diet and these properties is still unknown. The objective of the study was to determine the relationship between the proportion of fresh grass in the diet and the properties of milk and butter. Four groups of 2 cows were fed 4 isoenerg...

The effects of particle size, fermentation, roasting time and roasting temperature of cocoa nibs on cocoa butter extraction using supercritical fluid technology were studied. The effect of particle size was studied using cocoa liquor (D = 0.074 mm), ground cocoa nib (D = 0.25–0.50 mm and 1.0–1.2 mm) and whole cocoa nibs at 35 MPa, 60 C and flow rate of 2 ml/min using supercritical carbon dioxid...
