What kind of coffee do you drink? An investigation on effects of eight different extraction methods.

Food research international (Ottawa, Ont.)
The chemical composition of brewed coffee depends on numerous factors: the beans, post-harvest processing and, finally, the extraction method. In recent decades, numerous coffee-based beverages, obtained using different extraction techniques have ent...

Physicochemical characterization of an arabinoxylan-rich fraction from brewers' spent grain and its application as a release matrix for caffeine.

Food research international (Ottawa, Ont.)
The brewers' spent grain is a by-product generated during brewery process and is a potential source for arabinoxylans (AX) extraction. In the present work, the extraction and characterization of an arabinoxylan-rich fraction from brewers' spent grain...

Assessment of Beer Quality Based on a Robotic Pourer, Computer Vision, and Machine Learning Algorithms Using Commercial Beers.

Journal of food science
UNLABELLED: Sensory attributes of beer are directly linked to perceived foam-related parameters and beer color. The aim of this study was to develop an objective predictive model using machine learning modeling to assess the intensity levels of senso...

Viscosity Prediction in a Physiologically Controlled Ventricular Assist Device.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: We present a novel machine learning model to accurately predict the blood-analog viscosity during support of a pathological circulation with a rotary ventricular assist device (VAD). The aim is the continuous monitoring of the hematocrit (...

Improving Dissolution Rate of Carbamazepine-Glutaric Acid Cocrystal Through Solubilization by Excess Coformer.

Pharmaceutical research
PURPOSE: The use of soluble cocrystals is a promising strategy for delivering poorly soluble drugs. However, precipitation of poorly soluble crystal form during dissolution hinders the successful tablet development of cocrystals. This work was aimed ...

Computational fluid dynamics study of viscous fingering in supercritical fluid chromatography.

Journal of chromatography. A
Axi-symmetric numerical simulations are carried out to study the dynamics of a plug introduced through a mixed-stream injection in supercritical fluid chromatographic columns. The computational fluid dynamics model developed in this work takes into a...

ω-3 Fatty Acid Synergized Novel Nanoemulsifying System for Rosuvastatin Delivery: In Vitro and In Vivo Evaluation.

AAPS PharmSciTech
The present study was undertaken to improve rosuvastatin (RSV) bioavailability and pharmacological response through formation of SNES using Perilla frutescens oil as lipid carrier. The composition of oil was estimated by fatty acid methyl ester (FAME...

Honey bee hairs and pollenkitt are essential for pollen capture and removal.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
While insect grooming has been observed and documented for over one hundred years, we present the first quantitative analysis of this highly dynamic process. Pollinating insects, like honey bees, purposely cover themselves with millions of pollen par...

Development of a simple and objective evaluation method for thickened liquids using funnels.

Journal of texture studies
UNLABELLED: Some patients with dysphagia are prone to aspiration of low-viscosity liquids. Thickened liquids are often used in attempts to prevent aspiration. The patients should be given thickened liquids with suitable thickness, and the thickness s...

Bio-inspired flexible joints with passive feathering for robotic fish pectoral fins.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
In this paper a novel flexible joint is proposed for robotic fish pectoral fins, which enables a swimming behavior emulating the fin motions of many aquatic animals. In particular, the pectoral fin operates primarily in the rowing mode, while undergo...
