the purpose of this study was to investigate the therapeutic effects of propolis on biochemical and microbiological parameters in muscle tissues of carp (cyprinus carpio, linnaeus 1758) exposed to arsenic. a sublethal concentration of arsenic (0.01 ppm) and/or 0.01 ppm propolis were administered to fish for seven days. biochemical parameters [ph, lactic acid, total volatile basic nitrogen (tvb-...

the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of starters and storage temperature (4 ºc, 25 ºc) onmicrobiological and physicochemical properties, volatile compounds and sensory evaluation of kefir.kefirs produced by kfa and chr. hansen starters were stored at 4 ºc and 25 ºc for 40 days. ph andacidity at 4 ºc did not change (p ≥ 0.05), while at 25 ºc ph and total solid decreased as well a...
