Studies on the development of instant `Dahi Bhalla' - an Indian traditional snack preparation.
No full textDahi bhalla is a traditional Indian deep fat fried savoury snack food. In this study, standardization of recipe, method of preparation, drying, packaging and storage of dahi bhalla were investigated. Dahi bhalla is conventionally made from a paste (peethi) of water soaked urd dhal (dehusked split black gram; Phaseolus mungo) in admixture with besan (dehusked split Bengal gram flour; Cicer arietinum) and spices. Alternatively, peethi can also be prepared from black gram flour by adding an equal amount of water to it. Addition of besan to peethi at 5% and sodium bicarbonate at 0.25% was optimum to yield the best quality product. To make instant dahi bhalla, the fried product was dried in a through-flow drier at 68-70°C, packed in a 150 gauge polypropylene pouch and stored at room temp. (15-25°C). The product kept for up to 12 wk. Dried dahi bhalla was soaked in hot water (60°C) for 20 min prior to use. Quality of dahi bhalla prepared from black gram flour was found to be comparable with that of dahi bhalla prepared form water-soaked dehusked, split black gram
Effects of Charge on Osmotic Reflection Coefficients of Macromolecules in Fibrous Membranes
No full textA model based on continuum hydrodynamics and electrostatics was developed to predict the combined effects of molecular charge and size on the osmotic reflection coefficient (σ[subscript o]) of a macromolecule in a fibrous membrane, such as a biological hydrogel. The macromolecule was represented as a sphere with a constant surface charge density, and the membrane was assumed to consist of an array of parallel fibers of like charge, also with a constant surface charge density. The flow was assumed to be parallel to the fiber axes. The effects of charge were included by computing the electrostatic free energy for a sphere interacting with an array of fibers. It was shown that this energy could be approximated using a pairwise additivity assumption. Results for σ[subscript o] were obtained for two types of negatively charged fibers, one with properties like those of glycosaminoglycan chains, and the other for thicker fibers having a range of charge densities. Using physiologically reasonable fiber spacings and charge densities, σ[subscript o] for bovine serum albumin in either type of fiber array was shown to be much larger than that for an uncharged system. Given the close correspondence between σ[subscript o] and the reflection coefficient for filtration, the results suggest that the negative charge of structures such as the endothelial surface glycocalyx is important in minimizing albumin loss from the circulation

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods

The Use of Essential Oils of Origanum Rotundifolium as Antimicrobial Agent Against Plant Pathogenic Bacteria
No full textAbstract: In this study, the antibacterial effect of Origanum rotundifolium Boiss’s essential oil was evaluated against 20 plant pathogenic bacteria. The essential oil (EO) of O. rotundifolium was hydrodistillated from wild O. rotundifolium plants that grown in Eastern Anatolia region of Turkey. Then, 10 chemical compounds of EO were identified via gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The main compounds were determined as thymol (40.86%-GC), carvacrol (43.62%), p-cymene (5.95%) and borneol (2.49%). According to the results of the study, the essential oil of O. rotundifolium exhibits considerable antibacterial effect against pathogenic bacteria that cause significantly crop loss. © 2016 Har Krishan Bhalla & Sons
