BACKGROUND Desirable quality estimation is an important consumer driver for wider acceptability of mixed-mode solar drying of potatoes in food industries. The aim of this study is to characterise rehydration, colour, texture, nanoindentaion and microstructure of dried potato samples and to establish

A recipe and technological process for the production of low-fat potato snacks (7% fat) was developed at the Institute of Food Technology of Plant Origin (Agricultural University of Poznan) using a combination of extrusion and a roasting process. Due to the character of the product, the level of

Blends of defatted soy flour and sweet potato flour were extruded in a single-screw extruder run at varying pre-set rotational speeds. Die diameter of the extruder was also varied. A central composite, rotatable nearly orthogonal response surface design was used in studying the interactive effects

The combined effect of high pressure processing (HPP) (400, 600 and 800 MPa) and carrot fibre (CF) and potato starch (PS) on low salt (1.2%) pork sausages was investigated and compared with high (1.8%) salt sausages. Sausages had a marked increase in whitening with increasing content of fibre or

The present investigation explored the possibilities of commercial utilization of buffalo liver in comminuted meat products. In this study, the effect of incorporating liver with meat and vegetables in loaves was studied. Different types of loaves were evaluated: (1) Control meat loaf, (2)

Candida zeylanoides caused candidiasis as tinea cruris in 4 cases. Candida zeylanoides were characterized by good growth of the strain in malt medium, potato dextrose agar and Sabourard's agar. Their colony was milky white and greasy with smooth surface. The diameter of the colony reaches 12 mm

Slow fermented sausages with reduced ingoing amounts of sodium nitrate (control, 15% and 25% reduction) were stored under vacuum up to three months. Changes in microbiology, chemical parameters and volatile compounds were studied. Residual nitrate was not affected by vacuum storage and its reduction

Corneal ulcera in patients treated at the University Hospital Cali, Colombia have been attributed to the fungus Fusarium solani, which was isolated from patients' eyes by deep scraping. The fungus, which was characterized by culture and morphology, was found to grow well at 37 degrees C in Sabouraud

Graphium eumorphum is rarely associated with mycotic keratitis. We report the case of a 30-year-old female presented with complaints of redness and defective vision in the left eye for one month. Gram staining and 10% KOH wet mount of corneal smears revealed fungal filaments. On potato dextrose

BACKGROUND Natural rubber latex has become an important occupational health concern, particularly among health care workers, who for protection are required to wear latex gloves when at work. This study evaluated the prevalence of latex-related symptoms and sensitisation among a large group of

Starch nanocrystal (S-NC) was produced after sulfuric acid hydrolysis of potato starch granules and then characterized by laser diffraction particle size analyzer, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Response surface methodology (RSM) was applied to optimize S-NC (2-10%)
