Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The results of the analysis in 1982, of fifty butters were compared with those of thirty butters analyzed in 1974, and there were no practical significant differences in the fatty acid compositions of the 1974 and 1982 butters as mentioned in this paper.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The carotenoids of guava cultivar IAC-4 from the State of So Paulo (southeastern Brasil) were identified as lycopene, corresponding to 86% of the total carOTenoid content, and β-carotene was present at 3·7 μg/g; consequently, the vitamin A was relatively low.

Journal ArticleDOI
V.A. Adisa1
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of some storage factors (storage temperature, length of storage period and rot development) on the ascorbic acid content of the fruits of orange (Citrus sinensis) and pineapple (Ananas comosus) were investigated.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the aqueous ethanol extractable sugars and non-starchy polysaccharides of finger millet, pearl millet and foxtail millet were isolated and characterised.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The effect of fermentation of African oil bean seed ( Pentaclethra macrophylla ) on chemical composition was studied in this article, where the results showed that there was an increase in the pH, titratable acidity, soluble nitrogen and soluble solids during a 4-day fermentation.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, wheat fructosans were prepared from two different flours and separated according to degree of polymerization by gel permeation chromatography, and different fractions were quantified and characterized with regard to monomer carbohydrate composition.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The chemical composition of apricot kernel flour and protein isolates was determined in this article, which contained about 48% protein, mainly albumins, and showed a single isoelectric point at pH 4 and the solubility increased in both acidic and alkaline pH.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, a number of sequestering agents (ortho-and polyphosphates, citric acid, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acids (DTPA), salicylic acid, the sodium salts of oxalic, phytic and lactic acids, glycine, cysteine, 8-hydroxy-quinoline and catechol) were added to ground pork prior to cooking.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the levels of alpha-and beta-carotene made up over 85% of the total carotene, increased slowly during the first 100-day storage, but decreased thereafter.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Gas chromatography has been used to identify simple sugars contained in Royal Jelly (glucose, fructose and saccharose) and has, at the same time, given information about the other neutral constituents.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, a hexane-extracted oil fraction has a light yellow colour and is free from toxic material (hydrocyanic acid) and the major fatty acids were oleic, linoleic and palmitic.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the salt molality (m NaCl) in cheese slices was proportional to the square root of the brining period (√t); a rate parameter, K (moles kg−1) min−0·5), was defined as the slope of the m NaCl √t plots, which was linearly related to the surface area to volume ratio of the cheese slices by the equation: K= (SA/V+1·2) 34·70 where; SA = surface area and V = volume of the slice.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, a comparative study using in-line theaflavins analysis (ILTF), TFMT and tasters' evaluations, to optimise fermentation during tea manufacture, was carried out.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: A mixture of creatinine, d-fructose and glycine was heated in diethylene glycol containing 14% water for 2h at ca. 128°C and the reaction mixture was extracted with 1-butanol and the extract subjected to cation exchange column chromatography, C 18 reversed-phase Sep-Pak treatment and reversed phase HPLC as discussed by the authors.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the nitrate and nitrite contents of sixteen fresh vegetables, widely consumed in Egypt, were determined, and the highest values of nitrate were observed in leafy vegetables, followed by root vegetables and then pulses.
