Article Synopsis
  • Mango seeds, a byproduct of mango juice processing, are rich in starch, but traditional extraction methods are inefficient and environmentally harmful.* -
  • The study improved starch extraction from mango seed cotyledons using ultrasound, achieving a maximum yield of 50.74%, which is 82.4% higher than conventional methods.* -
  • The ultrasound method enhanced starch purity and properties while maintaining its structure, indicating potential uses in food and pharmaceuticals.*

In the present investigation, yam mucilage was evaluated as a stabilizer and emulsifier in the formulation of vanilla flavored ice cream; physicochemical, rheological, and stability characteristics were determined. A completely randomized bifactorial design was used (yam mucilage: Carboxymethylcellulose ratio with the following levels: 100:0, 80:20, 50:50, and 20:80, and stabilizers concentration with levels of 0.4 and 0.

Instability in fruit drinks is a phenomenon that affects sensory and physical-chemical properties, which consumers perceive as lack of quality. Yam mucilage was evaluated as a stabilizer in the production of mango nectar. In addition, physicochemical characteristics, physical and rheological stability were determined.

Osteopontin (OPN) and an OPN-derived synthetic peptide, OC-1016, have demonstrated their potential to enhance osseointegration in vitro. The purpose of this study was to evaluate bone-to-implant contact (BIC) and surrounding bone density (BD) of implants coated with either recombinant human OPN (rhOPN) or OC-1016 as compared with noncoated titanium plasma sprayed (TPS) surface in a canine model. Histomorphometric analysis revealed that at 4 weeks, %BIC and %BD of coated implants were significantly higher than those of noncoated TPS implants.
