The presence of germs in food products contributes to developing alimentary infections and to the contamination of food with mycotoxins. Decontamination with ultraviolet UV-C rays is a proven way to enhance the...
The influence of nitrogen rate and type of potassium fertilizer (KCl, K2S04, KC1 + K2S04) on yield, essential oil content and mineral composition of thyme herb was examined in the greenhouse experiment. Analyzed factors did not significantly affect the plant's yielding. No negative effects of chloride ions on plant's yielding and EC value in medium were observed. Total content of essential oil in...
Prevention of arterial thrombotic diseases has high priority in developed countries. Because people who eat inappropriate food are prone to thrombotic events, regular intake of an antithrombotic diet may offer a convenient and effective way of prevention. The aim of the present study was to find herbs that have antithrombotic effects. Herbs were crushed and centrifuged and the juice obtained was...
Ascorbyl palmitate (AP) (200 ppm) preserved α-tocopherol in sunflower oil at 95 o C and delayed the onset of rancidity. Both effects increased with AP concentration (r 2 = 0.96 and 0.97 respectively) but levelled off near ~700 ppm. The improved anti-rancidity effect was due to the increased preservation (P<0.01). Synergism was observed for both effects for AP combined with sage,...
