Crispiness of a microwave-expanded imitation cheese: Mechanical, acoustic and sensory evaluation
(Elsevier, 2012)
The objective of this study was to determine the crispiness of microwave-expanded imitation cheese and compare the results with sensory evaluation. Three cheeses were manufactured with 36%, 19%, or 15% protein; all three ...
Echinococcosis in sub-Saharan Africa: emerging complexity
(Elsevier, 2011)
Cystic echinococcosis occurs in most regions of sub-Saharan Africa, but the frequency of this zoonosis differs considerably among and within countries. Especially human cases seem to be focally distributed. A number of ...
A 13-year climatological study on the variations of aerosol and cloud properties over Kazakhstan from remotely sensed satellite observations
(Pergamon, 2018-11)
The Republic of Kazakhstan, by geographical and climatological conditions, is a key location for the characterization of atmospheric aerosols due to an unprecedented increase of aerosol's concentrations in the recent years. ...
Physiological responses of composite tea to progressive drought.
(Tea Research Foundation of Kenya, 2013)
An experiment was carried out on potted grafted tea in a greenhouse to quantify the effects of reducing soil moisture content on key physiological factors affecting growth, development, diurnal and physiological responses ...
The Influence of Compositional changes in Reconstituted Potato Flakes on Thermal and Dielectric Properties and Temperatures following Microwave Heating
(Elsevier, 2014)
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of formulation changes on the temperatures of the reconstituted potato flakes following a standardised microwave reheating using a response surface method. Reconstituted ...
Molecular characterization of Echinococcus species in dogs from four regions of Kenya
(Elsevier, 2018-05-15)
Cystic echinococcosis is endemic both in livestock and humans in many parts of Kenya. However, very little data exists on Echinococcus infections in dogs, and therefore their role in maintaining the transmission cycles and ...
Farming characteristics in urban districts of Nairobi county-Kenya.
(RUFORUM, 2014)
Urban farming practitioners face challenges like lack of quality irrigation water, poorly decomposed manure, diverse inputs of unknown sources, unhealthy farm environment and abject poverty. All these contribute to production ...
An assessment of the impact of pulsed electric fields processing factors on oxidation, color, texture, and sensory attributes of turkey breast meat
(Poultry science, 2015)
Pulsed electric fields (PEF) is a novel nonthermal technology that has the potential to cause physical disruption to muscle tissue which in turn could alter the sensorial aspects of meat in both a positive (e.g., enhanced ...
The use of pulsed electric fields for accelerating the salting of pork
(LWT - Food Science and Technology, 2014)
The efficiency of PEF as a pre-treatment for accelerating the salting (175 kg/m3 NaCl) of pork was assessed through PEF treatments of varying energy densities (22.6–181.1 kJ/kg). This was achieved through a 2 × 2 × 2 ...
Effect of pulsed electric field treatments at various stages during conditioning on quality attributes of beef longissimus thoracis et lumborum muscle
(Meat science, 2015)
Beef longissimus thoracis et lumborum (LTL) muscle was used to evaluate the effect of PEF treatments (1.4 kV/cm, 10 Hz, 20 μs, 300 and 600 pulses) on meat quality attributes (weight loss, colour, cook loss and texture) and ...
