volatile compounds generated from two types of polymeric laminated films, irradiated by gamma radiation at 8, 10 and 15 kgy, were investigated. activated carbon was used as a dry food simulant to trace the migrating compounds by gas chromatography/mass spectroscopy (gc/ms). the resulting data showed that the polyethylene terephthalate (pet)/polyethylene terephthalate (pet)/linear low density po...

Proximate analysis, expressible water(EP), water holding capacity (WHC), pH value, total acidity, free fatty acids (FFA), thiobarbituric acid values (TBA), and microbiological examination were determined in order to evaluate the effect of packaging materials and treatments in addition to spice extracts on the shelf life of buffalo meat product stored for nine months under frozen condition. The ...

Synthetic cannabinoids, often sold under labels such as 'spice', are a popular product sold in incense shops and on the internet. When inhaled, consumers often report experiences similar to marijuana use, thus making synthetic cannabinoids a popular street substitute for marijuana. With increasing use, the number of patients presenting to emergency departments due to the toxic effects of these ...

In order to optimize high-speed systems, designers need tools that automatically generate reduced-order SPICE compatible models from geometric descriptions of interconnect and packaging. In this paper, we consider structures small compared to a wavelength, and use a discretized integral formulation combined with an Arnoldi-based model-order reduction strategy to compute efficiently accurate red...

The “elimination” of chemical additives used in a wide variety of foods is demanded, while “natural” additives are seen as a benefit for both quality and safety. Researchers are looking for new sources of ingredients and/or additives. The aim of this work was to study the effect of 1) the addition of 5.00% citrus fibre washing water (CFWW) and 0.02% rosemary essential oil (REO) or 0.02 % thyme ...

In the present study suitability of different packaging materials for microbiological quality of Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix) meat (bone in) pickle at room temperature for three months was assessed. Pickle was prepared using common products recipes contains common salt, sodium pyro-phosphate, spice ingredients etc. Pressure cooking with water was applied for 20 minutes (400 ml water/ kg o...

Saffron is the most precious natural spice in the world derived from Crocus sativus L. flowers. It has unique sensory properties including colour, flavour, and odour. Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) is one of advanced technologies for controlling product deterioration by providing an appropriate protective atmosphere around the product [1]. The aim of MAP is to exhaust the air inside the pa...
