In the present study, influence of grape seeds flour (GSF) addition on physico-chemical and white wheat dough rheological properties were investigated. GSF two varieties, red, was added at three particle sizes (L, M S) different levels (0, 3, 5, 7, 9%) to flour. The fundamental investigated by applying oscillatory tests using a dynamic rheometer. storage (G’) loss (G”) moduli in function frequency temperature respectively, measured. Creep-recovery also applied evaluate peels-wheat behaviour....

In broiler chick-rearing, the color is usually acquired by synthetic carotenoids in addition to diets (25–80 mg/kg feed), often represented β-apo-8′-carotenal. past fifteen years, demand for organic food products originating from free-range reared chicks started grow, with a more directed awareness of quality meat and egg. Various investigations have been reporting microorganisms, such as oleaginous red yeasts genus Rhodotorula sp., fast-growing unicellular eukaryotes able synthesize natural...
