The effect of dietary fiber enrichment (wheat bran) and cooking methods (oven, steam and microwave) on functional and physico-chemical properties of raw nuggets formulation as well as nutritional, color and textural properties of chicken nuggets were analyzed in this study. Among different cooking methods used for nuggets preparation, steam cooked nuggets had significantly (p<0.05) higher water...

Physicochemical and sensory properties of chicken nuggets extended with flours processed from fermented cowpeas (FCF) and fermented partially defatted peanuts (FPDPF) were investigated. Addition of FCF or FPDPF decreased moisture loss and fat gain. Reductions in protein content of nuggets were 20.2% and 15.8% when, respectively, 20% FCF and 20% FPDPF were added. Regardless oflevel ofFPDPF, nugg...

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of oven, steam and microwave cooking methods on lipid oxidation, microbiological and sensory quality of chicken nuggets. Nuggets were prepared and analyzed at a regular interval of 5 days from day of production to spoilage of products under refrigerated storage. Cooking methods significantly affected the lipid oxidation of nuggets under refrigerat...

As databases grow in size and complexity the task of adding value to the wealth of data becomes difficult. Data mining has emerged as the technology to add value to enormous databases by finding new and important snippets (or nuggets) of knowledge. With large training sets, however, extremely large collections of nuggets are being extracted, leading to much “fools gold” amongst which to fossick...

S OF PAPERS 235 90 Creep compliance of chicken nuggets at different frying temperatures. T. Yalamanchili*1, P. Takhar2, and C. Z. Alvarado1, 1Texas A&M University, College Station, 2Texas Tech University, Lubbock. The texture of chicken nuggets is a very important attribute to consumers. However, there is little data indicating textural properties of chicken nuggets during frying utilizing cree...

This paper describes an approach to automatic nuggetization and implemented system employed in GALE Distillation evaluation to measure the information content of text returned in response to an open-ended question. The system identifies nuggets, or atomic units of information, categorizes them according to their semantic type, and selects different types of nuggets depending on the type of the ...

In the present study, the efficacy of litchi fruit pericarp (LFP) extract (0.5%, 1.0% and 1.5% concentration) in retarding lipid oxidation of cooked sheep meat nuggets was evaluated and compared to butylated hydroxyl toluene (BHT, 100 ppm). The total phenolic content and antioxidant potential of LFP extracts were determined. The thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS) values were evaluat...

We study the origin of high-redshift, compact, quenched spheroids (red nuggets) through the dissipative shrinkage of gaseous discs into compact star-forming systems (blue nuggets). The discs, fed by cold streams, undergo violent disc instability that drives gas into the centre (along with mergers). The inflow is dissipative when its time-scale is shorter than the star formation time-scale. This...

Central composite design of Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was used to study the effect of sodium chloride; NaCl (0.5-1%) and salt replacer potassium chloride KCl (0.5-1%) in combination with whey protein concentrate (0.5-1.5%) and black gram flour (2-4%) on the overall acceptability, saltiness and instrumental hardness of low salt restructured chicken nuggets. Reduction of NaCl content to ...

AIM The present study was conducted to evaluate the physico-chemical and microbiological characteristics of chicken nuggets coated with sodium alginate (SA) coatings at refrigerated (4±1°C) and frozen (-18±1°C) storage condition at regular periodic intervals. MATERIALS AND METHODS Chicken meat nuggets were separated into three groups: Uncoated control (C), coated with alginate coating (T1), a...
