The perception of the salty taste, obtained in humans by using sodium chloride (NaCl), is one of the most important attributes of the human sensory system. However, extra intake of sodium present in salt might lead to conditions such as hypertension. To develop a salt substitute with low sodium content, 13 plants were extracted with water, and their sensory perception was analyzed. After the sensory evaluation, 3 plant aqueous extracts (PAEs), representing salty and umami tastes, were selected using principal component analysis (PCA). They were powdered using a spray dryer, mixed, and subsequently referred to as plant salt substitute (PSS). The relative saltiness of PSS to NaCl was shown to be 0.65. When the degree of saltiness between PSS and NaCl is the same, PSS contains 43% less sodium than NaCl. Therefore, PSS can be used in food to reduce an individual's sodium intake while retaining the salty taste of NaCl. 相似文献
The research aimed at examining how liking for foods high in salt and fat and for foods high in sugar are associated with overall diet quality and how these associations differ according to individual characteristics (i.e., sex, age, education, income, nutrition knowledge, and energy reporting status) in French-speaking adults from the Province of Quebec, Canada. As part of the web-based cross-sectional PREDISE study, 1096 men and women completed online questionnaires. The Food Liking Questionnaire assessed reported liking for a variety of salty foods (high in salt and fat) and sweet foods (high in sugar and either high-fat or low-fat) on a scale from 1 to 9. The Canadian Healthy Eating Index (C-HEI) was computed based on data collected using 24-hour food recalls. Women (vs. men) reported lower liking for salty foods (5.97 ± 1.34 vs. 6.58 ± 1.16, p < 0.0001) and for sweet foods (5.52 ± 1.36 vs. 5.71 ± 1.25, p = 0.015). Multiple linear regressions showed that liking for sweet foods was not associated with C-HEI (B = −0.10, p = 0.78). Given a significant sex interaction in the association between liking for salty foods and C-HEI (p interaction = 0.0218), subsequent analyses were stratified by sex. Multiple linear regressions supported that liking for salty foods was more strongly inversely associated with C-HEI in men (B = −3.37, p < 0.0001) than women (B = −1.46, p = 0.0035). In conclusion, a strong liking for salty foods may interfere with healthy eating, especially in men. Building on these results, future studies should investigate the potential of interventions designed to improve the healthiness of food habits in individuals with strong liking for these foods. 相似文献
The electrochemical corrosion characteristics of carbon steel in a salty soil at different temperatures were studied by measurements
and analyses of potentiodynamic polarization curves, linear polarization resistance and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy.
The results showed that the mass-transfer of dissolved oxygen plays an essential role in carbon steel corrosion, and the whole
corrosion process is mix-controlled by both activation and mass-transfer steps. Passivity can be developed on carbon steel
in the soil at low temperatures. With the increase of temperature, the passive current density increases and the passive potential
range decreases. When temperature is elevated to a certain value, 50 °C in this system, passivity cannot be maintained and
the steel is dominated by an active dissolution status. Anodic Tafel slope decreases continuously with the increase in temperature,
which is mainly due to the enhanced electrode reaction rate at an elevated temperature. Simultaneously, cathodic Tafel slope
increases with temperature continuously due to the decrease of the solubility of dissolved oxygen in soil. Since the diffusion
activation energy is generally much smaller than the reaction activation energy, the effect of temperature on diffusion is
far less than that on electrode reaction rate. 相似文献
The EN ISO Standard 12944-5 describes the types of paint and paint systems commonly used for corrosion protection of steel structures. In this work four paint systems, applied on steel, including polyurethane topcoats, recommended for atmospheres with high corrosivity (C5 category), codified by 1–4, were studied. Systems 1 and 4 include zinc rich primers and epoxy/polyamide intermediates, system 2 has solvent free epoxy/polyamide primer and intermediate and, system 3 is a hybrid system with vinyl–acrylic water based primer and a high solids epoxy/polyamide intermediate. Systems 2–4 have acrylic–polyurethane topcoats and, the topcoat of the system 1 was identified as an aliphatic polyurethane.
According to EN ISO 12944-6, water condensation and neutral salt spray tests were performed. Three exposure times were considered taking into account the durability ranges of paint systems: low, medium and high, respectively. The paint systems were complementary submitted, during 30 days, to ultraviolet radiation with water condensation test according to ASTM G 154. At the same time, natural exposure was conducted in the marine atmosphere of Sines, with very high corrosivity (>C5).
The paint adhesion, before and after artificial ageing, was evaluated by cross-cut test and, for the systems with dry thickness greater than 250 μm, by pull-off test. Visual inspections were carried out.
For the exposure in UV radiation test chamber and at test site, gloss reduction, colour change and chalking were measured. Chemical changes on polyurethane topcoats exposed in the UV radiation test chamber were studied by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR).
In spite of the higher aesthetic degradation by UV radiation, of the aliphatic polyurethane topcoat of the system 1 relatively to the acrylic–polyurethane topcoats of the other systems, system 1 with ethyl silicate zinc rich primer and epoxy intermediate, was the one that presented the best corrosion protection when exposed in artificial and natural salty environments. At the test site, the worst anticorrosive behaviour seems to be presented by the system 2 with two coats of solvent free epoxy paint. 相似文献
Puras (pancakes) are widely accepted traditional Indian foods. Studies were conducted on the use of chhana and paneer whey in the preparation of sweet and salty puras . Six samples of chhana and paneer whey were substituted in sweet and salty puras at different whey to water ratios (0 : 100, 20 : 80, 40 : 60, 60 : 40, 80 : 20, 100 : 0). The effects of chhana and paneer whey on sensory evaluation showed that sweet puras containing mixed milk chhana whey and salty puras containing cow's milk chhana whey scored highest with respect to appearance, body and texture, flavour and taste, and overall acceptability. In general, commercial samples scored less, which may be due to poor handling and maintenance of whey by commercial manufacturers. Whey substitutions also improved fat, total solids, protein and ash of both sweet and salty puras . It is interesting to note that none of sweet and salty pura samples was below the limits acceptable to the panellists. It can be thus concluded that chhana and paneer whey can be used successfully in the preparation of puras for value addition. 相似文献
