Synthesis, growth and characterization on tartaric acid and urea (tau) mixed single crystals by slow evaporation method

A new semiorganic material of Tarataric acid and Urea (TAU) mixed crystals has been synthesized and successfully grown by the slow evaporation solution growth method. The grown crystals have been subjected to various characterization techniques such as single crystal XRD, SEM, FT-IR and UV-VISIBLE studies. XRD studies are used to carry out the crystallographic analysis. Fourier transform infrared spectum (FT-IR) is used to confirm the presence of various functional groups in the grown crystal. SEM studies are used to study the morphological identification.

Effect of ginger extract on the physicochemical and sensory properties of yoghurt

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of ginger extracts on the physicochemical and sensory properties of yoghurt. Six ginger extracts were obtained by decoction, maceration at room temperature and at refrigerated conditions (4- 6°C) of ginger paste and powder.Yoghurt were obtained by adding each extract at0%, 5%, 10% and 15% (V/V).Physicochemical properties of yoghurt samples (pH, titratable acidity, dry matter, ash, fat, and non-fat solid) were determined at day 0.
