Vascular endothelial effects of dibutyl phthalate: In vitro and in vivo evidence.

Dibutyl phthalate (DBP) is widely used in many consumer and personal care products. Here, we report vascular endothelial response to DBP in three different exposure scenarios: after short-term exposure (24 h) of human endothelial cells (ECs) EA.hy926 to 10, 10, and 10 M DBP, long-term exposure (12 weeks) of EA.

Development of a Novel Rice-Based Snack Enriched with Chicory Root: Physicochemical and Sensory Properties.

A novel rice-based snack enriched with chicory root flour (CRF) was developed by twin-screw extrusion. Chicory ( L.) is one of the promising medicinal plants for the development of innovative food and may be considered a functional food ingredient.

Optimization of rheological characteristics of bread dough supplemented with defatted wheat germ.

Optimization of bread dough formulation with defatted wheat germ (DWG) in terms of dough rheological properties was the objective of this study. Fractional factorial design was applied in order to investigate influence of DWG granulation (<150 µm and 150-1000 µm), DWG content (10 and 20%), addition of gluten (0 and 5%), ascorbic acid (0.004 and 0.
