Influence of Gradient Milling on Cooking and Sensory Attributes of Chinese Black Rice: Insights into Volatile Flavor Compounds
Shuxin Ye, Qing Gao, Danxia Shi, Abel Wend-Soo Zongo, Jinsong He, Bin Li
This study investigated the impact of gradient milling on the cooking properties and sensory characteristics of Yangxian black rice. The results showed that as the degree of milling increased, the gelatinization time decreased (36.85–23.54 min) and the water uptake ratio of whole black rice (188.29%) was significantly lower compared to that of(...)

Fruits of Prosopis chilensis and Tetrapleura tetraptera as an alternative against multi-resistant bacteria in lower respiratory tract infections
Jotham Yhi-pênê N’do, Dramane Paré, Issa Karama, Adama Hilou, Martin Kiendrébéogo
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a bacterium whose global spread poses a significant threat to human health due to its multidrug resistance (MDR). As a result, it is crucial to explore alternative treatments, particularly plant-based drugs, that are considered safe. The fruits of two plants, Tetrapleura tetraptera, and Prosopis chilensis, have been t(...)

NEUMANN PROBLEMS FOR NONLINEAR ELLIPTIC EQUATIONSINVOLVING VARIABLE EXPONENT AND MEASURE DATA
Mohamed Badr Benboubker, Stanislas Ouaro, Urbain Traore
This paper deals with the question of the existence of entropy solutions for the problem− div(a(x, u, ∇u) + φ(u)) + g(x, u, ∇u) = µ posed in an open bounded subset Ω of R^N with the homogeneous Neumann boundary condition (a(x, u, ∇u) + φ(u)) · η = 0. The functional setting involves Lebesgue and Sobolev spaces with variable exponent
