Thin-layer solar drying experiments were conducted at Matsuyama, Japan, with medium grain rough rice. The range of average drying air temperature was 22.3-34.9 degrees C, and the relative humidities were between 34.5% and 57.9%. The initial moisture contents were in the range of 37.07-37.69% dry-bas...

ABSTRACT This study describes the pattern and extent of drug resistance in 1,774 strains of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi isolated across Asia between 1993 and 2005 and characterizes the molecular mechanisms underlying the reduced susceptibilities to fluoroquinolones of these strains. For 1,393 ...

Amaranthus tricolor genotype VA13 was evaluated under four salinity stress in terms of color parameters, leaf pigments, β-carotene, vitamin C, TPC, TFC, TAC, phenolic acids and flavonoids. Salinity stress significantly increases all the studied traits. The increments of all these compounds were high...

Purple-fleshed sweet potato flour could be used to enhance the colour, flavour and nutrients in food products. Thus, the investigation was to produce encapsulated flours from purple-fleshed sweet potato by spray drying using combinations of various levels of ascorbic acid (5 g kg−1 and 10 g kg−1) an...

Vi capsular polysaccharide (Vi) was first identified as a virulence antigen of Salmonella typhi, the causative agent of typhoid fever in humans; it renders S. typhi resistant to phagocytosis and the action of serum complement. However, the role of Vi during the infection of intestinal epithelium wit...
