Burns represent a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in children. In this article, a case discussion will serve as a platform for discussing the evaluation and treatment of burns in children. Use of various burn dressings such as hydrocolloids, polyurethane films, hydrogels, biosynthetic skin dressing, and biological dressings will be discussed.

The development of gluten-free bread production has drawn massive attention to decrease the number wheat imports in some developing countries and fulfilled needs people with celiac other diseases related gluten components. Since component flours taken a major role form an extensible structure dough, its removal emerged considerable issues production. Hydrocolloids are food additive which able g...

The present report discusses our new simplified measuring method of masticatory efficiency by counting particles in the matter of making test materials and the standard equation for subjects with normal dentition. 1. Two kinds of hydrocolloid impression materials, reversible and irreversible, were used as the test materials. 2. For evaluating the shape of test materials, 12 subjects with normal...

Natural sources of hydrocolloids may serve as healthier alternatives to modified gluten replacement in gluten-free food products. In this study, the physicochemical, antioxidant and starch-digesting enzymes inhibitory properties whole pearl millet flour (PMF) blended with 1.5% 3% either sweet detar (SDF, a natural source hydrocolloids) or sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (SCMC, hydrocolloid), sen...

Abstract This research aimed to study the effects of 1% addition various hydrocolloids, i.e. guar gum, carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), and Arabic in preparing noodles from Canna edulis starch modified with heat moisture treatment (HMT) advance. Research results showed that some parameters such as cooking loss were not affected by hydrocolloid except gum (which resulted highest loss). CMC signific...

Over the past few decades, scientists have paid special attention to studying novel and natural hydrocolloids due to the growing demand for ready meals, public awareness on the importance of natural fibers in daily diets, and their wide range of application, especially in foods, pharmaceuticals and herbal medicine. Moreover, natural hydrocolloids are preferred to biotechnologic ones (e.g., gell...
