Effect of roasting and frying treatments on aflatoxins and capsaicinoids content and nutritional profile of green chilies (Capsicum annum L.). [PDF]
Food Sci Nutr, 2022 Effect of thermal treatments on: (a) capsaicin, (b) dihydrocapsaicin, and (c) SHU values of chili samples. Capsaicin (mg/kg), dihydrocapsaicin (mg/kg), and SHU values of control and thermally treated samples indicate a significant (p < .05) decrease in capsaicin content on roasting and frying.

Is the Quantity of Capsaicin in Food Related to Its Organoleptic and Sensory Effects? A Systematic Review. [PDF]
Food Sci NutrThis review examined the link between capsaicin levels and extrapolated Scoville Heat Units (SHU), noting inconsistent sensory correlations. Although precise methods like HPLC quantify capsaicin accurately, converting to SHU reduces reliability. Emerging technologies such as electronic tongues and AI may address these limitations, offering standardized

Higher Bioavailability of Calcium in Chickens With a Novel In-Feed Pharmaceutical Formulation [PDF]
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2020 Egg production and egg shell quality decrease toward the end of the first laying cycle in hens (approximately by week 80). Even so, farmers often choose to work a second cycle with them. Defective egg shell production has been mainly linked to a decrease

Mental Time Travel: A Retrospective. [PDF]
HippocampusABSTRACT Because imagination activates the same neural circuits used in understanding the present, one can access that imagination even in non‐linguistic animals through decoding techniques applied to large neural ensembles. This personal retrospective traces the history of the initial discovery that hippocampal theta sequences sweep forward to goals ...

A review of plant epigenetics through the lens of almond
The Plant Genome, Volume 16, Issue 4, December 2023., 2023 Abstract While genomes were originally seen as static entities that stably held and organized genetic information, recent advances in sequencing have uncovered the dynamic nature of the genome. New conceptualizations of the genome include complex relationships between the environment and gene expression that must be maintained, regulated, and sometimes
