Effects of Chelating Agents on Texture of Lowfat Cheddar Cheese
… two types of chelating agents on proteolysis and texture properties of low fat Cheddar cheese (LFC) were analyzed and compared to full fat Cheddar (FFC) control during ripening for 120 days at 8°C. We hypothesized that chelating agents would bind calcium ions from cheese matrix to give a softer …

Haptic simulation of naturally occuring textures and soil properties
… manipulator. A method for sensing friction properties of rigid, textured surfaces and using the data collected to drive a realistic haptic texture simulation is presented. Static friction coefficients and surface height deviations a e sensed by directly stroking the surface under examination …

Physicochemical and sensory properties of soymilk from five soybean lines
… evaluation, consumer acceptance test, and texture properties of soy ice creams. Plain flavor soymilks made from five soybean lines were made in the laboratory using a soymilk maker for physical, chemical, descriptive sensory analysis, and making soy ice creams. Soymilks were placed at room …

Comparison of Surface Characteristics of Hot-Mix Asphalt Pavement Surfaces at the Virginia Smart Road
… and the comfort of the drivers. As of yet, texture and friction measurements have not been incorporated into the design of pavement surfaces. Seven different wearing surface mixtures, placed at the Virginia Smart Road pavement facility, were studied over a one year time period for both …

Novel Applications of Hot-Melt Extrusion Technology
… ointment with respect to flow characteristics, texture properties, and drug release profile, demonstrating the potential of hot-melt extrusion in preparation of topical semisolids. In an another study, extruded lidocaine loaded nanostructured lipid carriers were found to be stable for up to 60 …

Multiscale techniques for image segmentation, classification and retrieval
… process, models characterizing the colour and texture properties of each object class are obtained in the multiscale setting of a Hidden Markov Tree. This framework is based on the complex wavelet decomposition of a given image. The unsupervised Mean Shift Procedure is used to determine the …

Segmentation of textured images
… images into distinct homogeneous regions by texture properties. The principle of the approaches to texture segmentation adopted in this thesis is mapping a textured image into a grey level image so that conventional segmentation techniques by intensity can be applied. Three novel approaches …

Process and uses of alternative carbohydrate sources in pet foods and treats
… vs. 88.15 %) for WSF compared to RSF. Pasting properties were similar between WSF and RSF (P>0.05), but RSF exhibited higher initial (66.56 vs. 63.34 °C) and peak gelatinization (73.89 vs. 72.42 °C) temperatures. However, these differences did not influence the extrusion process. The WSF and …

Optimisation of granola breakfast cereal manufacturing process by wet granulation and pneumatic conveying
… such as granule size distribution and textural properties of granola were investigated. The experimental results show that the impeller rotational speed is the single most important process parameter which influences granola physical and textural properties. After that binder addition rate and …

A neuro-genetic hybrid approach to automatic identification of plant leaves
… Moments (20 LMs), Hu 7 Moments (7 Hu7Ms), Texture Properties (22 TP) , Geometrical Properties (10 GP), and Colour features (12 CF). With the use of GA, only 14 features were finally selected for optimal accuracy. The PNN was genetically optimized to ensure optimal accuracy since it is not …

Application of Alternative Technologies to Eliminate <i>Vibrios </i> spp. in Raw Oysters
… under the tested temperature range, thermal properties did not change significantly with temperature. The dielectric constant and loss factor of oysters were determined by an open-ended coaxial line probe connected to a network analyzer at frequency of 30 MHz to 3000 MHz from 1 to 55 °C. The …

Soil-Landscape Modelling in an Andean Mountain Forest Region in Southern Ecuador
… reflects the balance of these processes in its properties. Early conceptual models have by now resulted into quantitative soil-landscape models including soil variation and its unpredictability as a key soil attribute. Soils in the Andean mountain rainforest area of southern Ecuador are …

Consumer Acceptance, Quality, and Functionality of Heat-Ozone-Pasteurized Whole Eggs Processed with Commercial Scale Equipment
… study focuses on consumer acceptance, physical properties, and functionality of OP processed with commercial scale equipment in comparison to untreated eggs (UT), thermally pasteurized eggs (TP) and liquid pasteurized eggs (LP). These eggs were used in broken out eggs and different egg …

PHYSICAL APPROACHES TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF GLUTEN-FREE PASTA
… The heat-treatments affected the physical properties of the rice flour to a different extent (damaged starch evaluated as a-amylase susceptibility, water affinity and solubility, and pasting properties). The loss of starch granule integrity occurring during pregelatinization increased the …
