Effect Of Farming Region And Commercial Size On Nutrition And Flavor Quality Of Turbot （Scophthalmus Maximus）, Zhuang Xiaomei, Guo Quanyou, Zheng Yao, Wei Banghong, Yang Xu

Food and Machinery

Objective: Investigating the effects of farming region and commercial size on the nutrition and flavor quality of Scophthalmus maximus. Methods: Farming turbot of three regions, namely, Rushan, Haiyang and Suizhong, and two typical commercially available sizes, 450～750 and 750～1 250 g, were selected for this study to compare their nutrient composition and flavor substances. Used principal component analysis and orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis to visualize the differences between different groups and to identify the nutritional indicators in differentiate farming region and commercial size. Results: The protein and collagen content of turbot in the Rushan and Haiyang regions …

Study On The Application Of Wet Ultrafine Crushing Ginkgo Powder In Noodles, Zhu Dan-Dan

Food and Machinery

Objective: The effects of ginkgo powder on the physicochemical indexes of wheat flour, as well as the nutrition, sensory, texture, cooking quality and bacteriostasis of noodles were studied. Methods: The physicochemical, nutritional and microbial indexes of flour and noodles were determined by instrumental analysis and chemical analysis respectively. And the sensory indexes of noodles were evaluated by sensory method. Results: The results showed that adding 0～18% ginkgo powder to wheat flour could reduce dough stability time, falling number wet and gluten content. It could increase the water absorption, whiteness of wheat flour, the taste and hardness of noodles. The contents …

Understanding Perceptions Of Genetically Modified Food Among Natural Food Shoppers In Southern Nevada, Christian Murua-Aceves

UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones

Today, 85% of corn, 93% of soybeans, and 88% of cotton in the U.S. are genetically modified (GM). Using laboratory methods, genes from one species, such as a plant, can be transferred to an unrelated species, such as an animal. Genetically modified crops may lead to higher yields, have improved food quality, texture, and nutritional value, and have an increased shelf life.

Despite these promising benefits, the potential health risks relating to the consumption of GM food remain inadequately assessed. Genetically modified food is not subjected to rigorous safety testing, such as epidemiologic studies, to identify potential health risks. Two …

Current State Of Food Security: Research, Education And Outreach In Burkina Universities, Mamoudou H. Dicko Prof.

Pr. Mamoudou H. DICKO, PhD

Burkina Faso is a Sahelian West African country. Current population is about 16 millions and 43.9 % live below the poverty line. Burkina Faso is classified as both a least developed country and a low-income, food-deficit country. The nutritional quality is poor (1830 against 2000 Kcal/person/day). Food insecurity affects 50 % of households, and is increasing in the urban areas. However, Burkina Faso is one of the country that respect the 2003 Maputo’s declaration’s call to invest at least 10 percent of the budget in agriculture, in order to increase agricultural production and attain food self-sufficiency. Several training programs dealing …

G1600 Freeze Concentration Of Fruit Juices, Durward Smith, Carol Ringenberg, Eric Olson

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

This publication describes research conducted to examine the feasibility of freeze concentration with small-scale, simple equipment; and research results on juice extraction and concentration from fruit held in frozen storage.

When Grandmother made jelly the wonderful aroma of cooking fruit filled the house. That wonderful aroma was the delicate fruit flavors being evaporated and lost from the jelly. When volatile flavors are retained food has a much better flavor. Freeze concentration of fruit juices is a method of removing water from juices without heating and changing juice flavor. Freeze concentration is effective because a solute in solution has a lower …
