The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of early sport participation on diabetes markers among adults. This longitudinal study analyzed 107 participants during 12 months of follow-up. Diabetes markers were ...
Effects of exposure to pulsed light on molecular aspects of edible films made from cassava and taro starch
(Elsevier, 2017-04-29)
Pulsed light (PL) has been proposed as a method for modifying the physico-chemical properties of edible films by photo-polymerization. Films made from cassava or taro starch plasticized with glycerol were developed and ...
Effect of the milling process on the thermal behavior and crystallinity of buckwheat starch
(2020-01-01)
Buckwheat starch is an alternative source to supply the high global demand for starch. The properties of starch can be modified through chemical and physical methods; one of them is the milling process, which can be ...
