Defatted cashew nut shell starch as renewable polymeric material: Isolation and characterization
Starch attracts public attention as a replacement of fossil fuel in polymer industries because it is renewable; biodegradable and nontoxic. In this study; the isolation of starch from defatted cashew nut shell (CNS) using wet milling was reported. A product that contains 85.01 wt.% starch was recovered from the defatted CNS. Various analyses were performed […]
Use of date (Phoenix dactylifera L.) blanching water for reconstituting milk powder: yogurt manufacture
The processing of dates yields high volumes of blanching water. The use of such blanching water for reconstituting skim milk powder to produce low fat yogurt was studied. Physicochemical properties and antioxidant activity of two date cultivars (Medjoul and Confitera) blanching water were determined. Quality characteristics of yogurts (control; Medjoul and Confitera) were evaluated during […]
