This work aims to evaluate the potential and limits of adhesiveness measurement using a texturometer to assess the ropiness of acid dairy gels for starter selection. Commercial yogurts of various formulations and textures were used to assess the ability of adhesiveness to detect ropiness and to compare performance of different probes. Chemically acidified gels using different concentrations of glucono-delta-lactone (GDL) were tested to determine the effect of pH on adhesiveness.

The aim of this study was to assess the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) production in plant-based fermented beverages with kefir cultures (milk and water kefir). Water-soluble extracts of peanut and Brazil nut were evaluated as non-dairy substrates for the development of new bioactive beverages. A total of 12 formulations were developed and evaluated for their chemical composition, physical chemical characterization, and microbiological counts (aerobic mesophilic bacteria, lactobacilli, lactococci and yeasts).

In recent years, global trends indicate consumer interest in functional foods. Thus, there is a trend to replace the use of artificial colors with natural colors that, in addition to being attractive to consumers, provide benefits to the biological functions of the human organism. The objective of this research was the solvent extraction of a natural dye from the roselle flower, its identification and evaluation of its behavior at different pH and temperatures.

Background: Human milk banks (HMBs) offer the best feed for neonates after mother's own milk (MOM), especially when MOM is insufficient. Although HMBs are founded on standard protocols, contamination and wastage of milk due to positive milk cultures remain a problem. Present study was planned as a quality improvement (QI) initiative to reduce culture rates at the HMB.

The present study proposes an L-shaped coplanar strip dipole antenna for sensing the presence of adulterants in liquid food samples. The proposed antenna dimensions are optimized using ANSYS HFSS, and a prototype is fabricated and validated. The sensing region is optimized based on the current distribution and measured reflection coefficients.
