Multichannel intraluminal impedance (MII) is a new technique for evaluation of bolus transport. We evaluated esophageal function using bolus transport time (BTT) and contraction wave velocity (CWV) of liquid, semisolid, and solid boluses. Ten healthy subjects underwent MII swallow evaluation with various boluses of sterile water (pH 5), applesauce, three different sized marshmallows, and iced a...

Levels of Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn, Mo, Co, Ni, Se, Sn and Al were determined in 14 medicinal plants from Serbia, which are widely used in phytopharmacy as herbal teas. The following plants were investigated: yarrow (Achillea millefolium L.), basil (Ocimum hasilicum L.), St. John's wort (Hypericum perforatum L.), peppermint (Mentha x piperita L.), field horsetail (Equisetum arvense L.), stinging nettle (...

To utilize a super-hydrophobic tetradecane-adsorbed marshmallow-like gel as phase-change material (PCM) carrier for latent heat transportation by mixing the particles with sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) solution, dispersion characteristics and flow of slurry were investigated. investigate slurry, visual observation under static conditions was performed while varying concentration CMC, app...

Abstract Experimental data on the change in number and species composition of microorganisms atmosphere have been provided. These includes changes walls refrigeration chambers surface berries grape varieties Preobrazhenie Livia when stored a refrigerating chamber with normal ionized atmosphere. It was shown that use an concentration positive aeroions 0.25… 0.48 × 1 10 3 cm negative 0.11… 0.25 h...

nowadays, using natural preservatives than synthetic ones is increasing. the present study was aimed to compare the effect of thyme (zataria multiflora boiss), onion (allium cepa) and ziziphora clinopodioides extracts on shelf-life extending of rainbow trout (oncorhynchus mykiss) salted, vacuum packaged fillet, kept at 4°c. for this purpose fish filets were kept in 4 treatment: salted in brine ...
