Microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) has been recognized as a technique with several advantages over other methods, such reduction of costs, time, energy consumption, and CO2 emissions. In this study, MAE was performed to obtain essential oils from two different herbs (basil epazote). A factorial design conducted in order determine the effect solvent quantity, power, heating time on oil yields. Chemical composition, physical properties yield percentage were compared obtained by steam...

Summary Chia seeds were utilized by A ztecs as food and for medicinal purposes. Nowadays, this crop is gaining importance in many countries, due to its nutritional attributes. Some physical properties chemical characteristics of chia from four different regions M exico evaluated compared. Seed size distribution was not significantly affected ( P > 0.05) the region, with similar values seed length (2.03–2.10 mm), width (1.27–1.32 thickness (0.77–0.81 mm) surface area (4.95–5.42 mm 2 )....

The consumption of rabbit meat is scarce in Mexico, despite its good taste and high protein content. Acid marination may be an option to introduce this into new markets add value food. use ultrasound has been reported as accelerator the impregnation process improving product quality. objective study was evaluate effect acid assisted by power on quality meat. Marinating solutions were prepared with 70, 140, or 200 g NaCl/L, 3 NaNO 2 , 1.5% citric acid. Rabbit slices immersed every solution...

In this letter, a temperature sensor based on fiber ring laser is presented. A Bragg grating was used as head, and Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) utilized wavelength selective filter to enhance the sensing capability. The MZI achieved by splicing piece of photonic crystal between two segments single-mode fiber. Moreover, it shown that when emission shifted varied, achieving sensitivity 18.8 pm/°C at 1550 nm, within range from 20 °C 90 °C.

ABSTRACT Yogurt systems were prepared from whole milk, adding 50 mg of calcium/100 mL yogurt, and three levels fiber two wheat‐bran sources. In comparison with a plain the presence calcium augmented consistency, diminished syneresis pH was higher. Fiber increased all formulated samples exhibited non‐Newtonian response. During 3 weeks storage time, consistency reduced (from 2.0 to 0.32 Pa·s n ), 20 48%) decreased 4.5 4.2) as function system formulation.

Abstract Model gel systems with different shape (sphere, cylinder, and slab) size (180 290 g) were prepared agar (5%) sucrose (5%). Dielectric constant (ε′), loss factor (ε″), thermophysical properties, temperature distribution of the model system measured. Each was immersed suspended in water, then, heated a microwave oven intermittent heating until core reached 50 °C. The ε′ ε″ gels decreased when frequency increased. density thermal conductivity values 1033 kg/m 3 0.55 W/m °C,...
