The results of the study of the basic physical, chemical, microbiological and hydrochemical characteristics of water ponds for growing freshwater fish. Data analysis hydrochemical regime studied ponds throughout the observation period showed that it was relatively stable fluctuated within small and do not exceed the maximum allowable substances in water. PH of water management ponds research ranged 6.1 – 7.5. Nitrites and nitrates were also in small concentrations that do not exceed regulatory and amounted to 0.1 mg N/l and 1.1 mg N/l. Established in the summer studied water samples contained more E.coli, than in the spring and autumn months and had a circle–titer less than 0.1 in 18.3% of cases. Indicator KMAFAnM water was almost 13 times higher in summer compared to spring and autumn. KilkistE.coli fall in surface water was on average within 1 – 3 CFU / cm3, and in the summer 6– 9. In the bottom water kilkistE.coli autumn was on average within 0 – 1 CFU / cm3, and in the summer 5 – 9 cfu / cm3. Indicator Value KMAFAnM in the mud was higher than the value in the bottom water fall nearly 210 times in the summer – in 417 times.

<em>This work deals with the effect of banana (sweet plaintain or ‘kepok’ variety) hump flour substituted to wheat flour in the making of noodle, on physical, chemical, and sensory characteristics of noodle.  A completely randomized was employed, with three replicates. Sensory analysis was conducted according to randomized group design. Four proportions of banana hump to wheat flour (10:90, 20:80, 30:70, and 40:60, weight basis) was studied. Results showed that the best physical and chemical characteristics was shown by noodle made from 10:90 proportion of banana hump to wheat flour, with 4.59% water absorption, 0.57% cooking loss, 10.37% water content, 34.21% starch content. However, result of sensory analysis suggested that the most liked noodle was that made from flour proportion of 20:80 with ‘like’ for colour, ‘like very much’ for aroma, ‘like’ for texture, ‘like’ for taste, and ‘like’ for overall preference</em>

Anthropogenic lakes (lakes that have developed in mined-out pits as a consequence of mineral raw material mining) exhibit many interesting phenomena. Specific water features are the most remarkable, including physical, chemical and the biological characteristics. Other very specific morphometric feature of anthropogenic lake basins include the unusual location of the lake’s water surface: often several dozen meters below the adjacent terrain and the specific character of the mined-out raw materials. All of these factors affect the qualitative characteristics of lake’s water, even decades after flooding. The interaction of the factors mentioned above has resulted in the creation of a permanent meromixis in some anthropogenic lakes. The author’s primary objectives are to present some physical and chemical symptoms of meromixis at selected localities, to discuss the mutual interaction between the physical and chemical characteristics of lake water and to explore some probable causes of the origin of meromixis at the selected localities.

The paper presents general characteristics and legal regulations for the use of thermomineral waters in Serbia, provides information on the regional position and geological characteristics of Tulare near Medvedja, the springs of water in Tulare and the methods of testing the physical and chemical characteristics of water in Tulare are described. In addition, the results of measuring the temperature, hardness, acidity, and chemical composition of water in Tulare are given. The results of the measurements showed that the water in Tulare belongs to homeothermal waters, that is soft to very soft, slightly acidic, and has an increased amount of Na, Ca, K and Mg, and also Sr, B, Li, P, As and Hg in small quantities. The water from the spring in Tulare is not suitable for drinking. To determine the balneological utility of the water in Tulare it is necessary to carry out appropriate drilling and further examine the physical, chemical, and balneological properties of this water.

<p>The objectives of the experiment were to evaluate physical, chemical, and sensory characteristics of sausage by using fortification with β-caroten of pumpkin. There were five treatments of fortification with β-caroten of pumpkin as<br />the filler substitutions on sausage processing. The treatments were: 0% (control), 25, 50, 75, and 100% of the filler. There were five replications in each treatment. The data of physical and chemical characteristics from the completely randomized design were analysed by analysis of variance. The data of sensory characteristics were analysed by the analysis of non parametric test of Hedonic Kruskal-Wallis. The results showed that sausage fortified with β-caroten of pumpkin as the filler substitutions up to 100% level on sausage processing affected significantly (P&lt;0.01) on physical characteristics of sausage (decreased water-holding capacity, increased tenderness and it did not affect pH value of sausage), chemical characteristics of sausage (decreased moisture, increased protein, fiber, β-caroten, and it did not affect the fat content of sausage), and sensory characteristics of sausage (increased taste, decreased color, aroma, texture, touchness, and acceptability of sausage).</p><p>(Key words: Sausage, Pumpkin, β-caroten, Physical characteristics, Chemical, Sensory)<br /><br /></p>

Physical and chemical characteristics of honey may vary due to the diversity of flora and soil characteristics, or seasonal factors. This study was carried out in two counties, Nova Aurora and Ubiratã, located in the West and Center-West regions of the State of Paraná. The objective of the study was to verify if the physical and chemical parameters of Apis mellifera (L.) honey are in accordance with the national standard, as well as to verify how the 21 samples collected in the two localities are grouped, based on the physical, chemical and pollen characteristics. Honey was analyzed for sugar, ash, protein, moisture, color, electrical conductivity, formaldehyde index, diastase and viscosity. Samples of honey containing the dominant pollen types Glycine max (L.) Merr. and Eucalyptus sp. formed groupings similar to those based on physical and chemical characteristics, however, the multivariate classification of honey samples in groups based on pollen types was not an efficient method to group samples of polyfloral honey.

Pulque is a beverage that has been prepared in Mexico since pre-Hispanic times from the fermented sap of more than 30 species of wild and domesticated agaves. We conducted studies in two communities of the state of Michoacán, in central-western Mexico, where we documented its traditional preparation and analyzed the relationship between preparation conditions and the composition and dynamics of microbiological communities, as well as the physical and chemical characteristics of the beverage. In one of the communities, Santiago Undameo (SU), people boil the sap before inoculating it with pulque inoculum; this action causes this local pulque to be sweeter, less acidic, and poorer in bacteria and yeast diversity than in the other community, Tarimbaro (T), where the agave sap is not boiled and where the pulque has more diversity of microorganisms than in SU. Fermentation management, particularly boiling of the agave sap, influences the dynamics and diversity of microbial communities in the beverage.

Silver halide grains (AgX, X=Cl,Br,I) are commonly recognized as important entities in photographic applications. Depending on the preparation specifications one can grow cubic, octahedral, tabular a.o. morphologies, each with its own physical and chemical characteristics. In the present study crystallographic defects introduced by the mixing of 5-20% iodide in a growing AgBr tabular grain are investigated. X-ray diffractometry reveals the existence of a homogeneous Ag(Br1-xIx) region, expected to be formed around the AgBr kernel. In fig. 1 a two-beam BF image, taken at T≈100 K to diminish radiation damage, of a triangular tabular grain is presented, clearly showing defect contrast fringes along four of the six directions; the remaining two sides show similar contrast under relevant diffraction conditions. The width of the central defect free region corresponds with the pure AgBr kernel grown before the mixing with I. The thickness of a given grain lies between 0.15 and 0.3 μm: as indicated in fig. 2 triangular (resp. hexagonal) grains exhibit an uneven (resp. even) number of twin interfaces (i.e., between + and - twin variants) parallel with the (111) surfaces. The thickness of the grains and the existence of the twin variants was confirmed from CTEM images of perpendicular cuts.
