We previously developed the T(P) technique to discriminate between the activity patterns of skeletal muscles. In this study we aim to identify the T(P) value(s) that can be used to sensitively evaluate the activity patterns of the suprahyoid (SH) muscles during swallowing. We also analyse the effect of food textural properties on the activity patterns of the SH muscle during oral and pharyngeal...

Shape selective xylene production is very important in the polymer industry because of its extensive use as raw material for monomer preparation. The acidity associated with the Lewis and Broensted centers present in the pillars interlayered clay and its textural properties allows good catalytic activity and shape selectivity toward p-xylene production. So, in the present study, ultrasonic and ...

A central composite rotatable design was employed to investigate the effects of independent variables on physical and textural properties of low-fat pork burgers and to optimize the process condition of the product. The independent variables were konjac/gellan blend (0-1%) and pork fat content (0-100%). The analysis of variance and regression analysis showed that cooking yield (%), reduction in...
