Encapsulation of Flavours in food

http://web.ist.utl.pt/ist11061/fidel/flaves/sec7/sec7.html Many food products whose development was thought to be technically unfeasible are possible today because of the wide availability of encapsulated ingredients. Such ingredients are products of a process that totally envelopes the ingredient in a coating or 'capsule' thereby conferring many useful and otherwise unusual properties to the original ingredients. Encapsulation is a technique that is applied to preserve and/or protect numerous ingredients. In the flavour industry, the encapsulation process is used chiefly to convert liquid flavour materials to free-flowing, dried powdered products. It can also be used effectively to separate and/or isolate reactive materials, provide protection for a compound or formulation, and control the release of material during food application ( Bakan, 1978 ). In a broad sense, encapsulation technology includes the coating of minute particles of ingredients (e.g., acidulants, fats, and f...

THE PLAGUE MANIFESTO - Swami Vivekananda

  Om Salutations to Bhagavan Shri Ramakrishna Brothers of Calcutta! 1. We feel happy when you are happy, and we suffer when you suffer. Therefore, during these days of extreme adversity, we are striving and ceaselessly praying for your welfare and an easy way to save you from disease and the fear of an epidemic. 2. If that grave disease — fearing which both the high and the low, the rich and the poor are all fleeing the city — ever really comes in our midst, then even if we perish while serving and nursing you, we will consider ourselves fortunate because you are all embodiments of God. He who thinks otherwise — out of vanity, superstition or ignorance — offends God and incurs great sin. There is not the slightest doubt about it. 3. We humbly pray to you — please do not panic due to unfounded fear. Depend upon God and calmly try to find the best means to solve the problem. Otherwise, join hands with those who are doing that very thing. 4. What is there to fear? The terror...

Abhyasa Vairagyabhyan Tannirodhah

The mind, to have this non-attachment, must be clear, good and rational. Why should we practice? Because each action is like the pulsations quivering over the surface of the lake. The vibration dies out, and what is left? The Samsharas, the impressions.  When a large number of these impressions is left on the mind they coalesce, and become a habit. It is said “habit is second nature;” it is first nature also, and the whole nature of man; everything that we are, is the result of habit. That gives us consolation, because, if it is only habit, we can make and unmake it at any time.  The Samshara is left by these vibrations passing out of our mind, each one of them leaving its result. Our character is the sum-total of these marks, and according as some particular wave prevails one takes that tone. If good prevail one becomes good, if wickedness one wicked, if joyfulness one becomes happy.  The only remedy for bad habits is counter habits; all the bad habits that have left the...

The Magic of Reading ...Lin Yutang

  "Compare the difference between the life of a man who does no reading and that of a man who does. The man who has not the habit of reading is imprisoned in his immediate world, in respect to time and space. His life falls into a set routine; he is limited to contact and conversation with a few friends and acquaintances, and he sees only what happens in his immediate neighborhood. From this prison there is no escape. But the moment he takes up a book, he immediately enters a different world, and if it is a good book, he is immediately put in touch with one of the best talkers of the world. This talker leads him on and carries him into a different country or a different age, or unburdens to him some of his personal regrets, or discusses with him some special line or aspect of life that the reader knows nothing about. An ancient author puts him in communion with a dead spirit of long ago, and as he reads along, he begins to imagine what that ancient author looked like and what type...
