    Notes: Regional Meeting of the International Society for Bioengineering and the Skin, Orlando, Florida, October 28–30, 2004.Gynoid lipodystrophy (cellulite) is the irregular, dimpled skin surface of the thighs, abdomen, and buttocks in 85% of post-adolescent women. The distinctive surface morphology is believed to result when subcutaneous adipose tissue protrudes into the lower reticular dermis, thereby creating irregularities at the surface. The biomechanical properties of epidermal and dermal tissue may also influence severity. Cellulite-affected thigh sites were measured in 51 females with varying degrees of cellulite, in 11 non-cellulite controls, and in 10 male controls. A non-contact high-resolution three-dimensional laser surface scanner was used to quantify the skin surface morphology and determine specific roughness values. The scans were evaluated by experts and naїve judges (n = 62). Body composition was evaluated via dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry; dermal thickness and the dermal-subcutaneous junction were evaluated via high-resolution 3D ultrasound and surface photography under compression. Biomechanical properties were also measured. The roughness parameters Svm (mean depth of the lowest valleys) and Sdr (ratio between the roughness surface area and the area of the xy plane) were highly correlated to the expert image grades and, therefore, designated as the quantitative measures of cellulite severity. The strength of the correlations among naїve grades, expert grades, and roughness values confirmed that the data quantitatively evaluate the human perception of cellulite. Cellulite severity was correlated to BMI, thigh circumference, percent thigh fat, architecture of the dermal-subcutaneous border (ultrasound surface area, red-band SD from compressed images), compliance, and stiffness (negative correlation). Cellulite severity was predicted by the percent fat and the area of the dermal-subcutaneous border. The biomechanical properties did not significantly contribute to the prediction. Comparison of the parameters for females and males further suggest that percent thigh fat and surface area roughness deviation are the distinguishing features of cellulite.

    Notes: Various process methods were evaluated for the production the light Thompson Seedless raisins. Treatments included: control, commercial (sulfur gas treated), 20% honey solution pressure dip, 10% honey solution pressure dip, 5000 ppm sulfite solution pressure dip, 5000 ppm sulfite solution nonpressure dip, Erthorbic Acid/Citric Acid/CaCl2 solution pressure dip, blanch treatment and a Natick solution. Measured variables included Hunter Colorimeter tristimulus characteristics, visual assessment and rank comparison using Friedman Rank Analysis. the Hunter L, a, b results indicated the honey solution treatments produced lighter and yellower raisins than the commercial and pressure infused sulfite solution treatments. the Erthorbic Acid/Citric Acid/CaCl2 pressure dip treatment resulted in the darkest product. Based on results of the Friedman Rank Analysis, raisins produced using honey with no added SO2 were ranked highest by each of the 18 untrained panelists.

    Notes: Effects of heat treatment on firmness of apples (Golden Delicious, McIntosh and Delicious) and apple slices were studied. Heat treatment (45C, for 1.75 h) of Golden Delicious and Delicious apples significantly increased their firmness, but no significant increase was observed for the McIntosh cultivar. After storage for 7 days at 2C, the treated apples were firmer than those stored at 10, 18, and 25C. Apple slices prepared from the heat treated apples were also firmer at 21 days storage than those prepared from nontreated apples: differences ranging from 12% for McIntosh to 48% for Delicious. This beneficial firming effect of heat treatment might have application in producing high quality minimally processed slices from Golden Delicious and Delicious apple cultivars.

    Notes: Wettability of chitosan coating solutions on‘Fuji’ apple skin in different surfactant concentration (Tween 80: 0, 10, 100, 1000 ppm) was investigated using the Du Nouy ring method and the sessile-drop method. The surface property of‘Fuji’ apple skin as a coated solid surface was characterized by the Zisman plot. The critical surface tension of‘Fuji’ apple skin was 18.7 dyne/cm. The surface tension of the chitosan coating solution was too high (61.5 dyne/cm) to wet the apple skin. Tween 80 as surfactant in water-borne coatings reduced the surface tension of the coating solution and enhanced its wettability. Surface morphology of the coated film was observed by scanning electron microscope. Surfactant driven autophilicity improved the adhesive force between coating solution and associative apple skin, and decreased the contact angle of coating solution.

    Notes: To search for natural antibrowning agents, rhubarb juice was tested on fresh-cut apple slices and found to have a potent effect. Liberty apple slices were treated in various concentrations of rhubarb juice (5%–100%), and the rate of discoloration at room temperature was measured by a Hunter Colorimeter. Apple slices treated in the 5%– 10% solution showed browning activity with dL values of 2.3 – 2.5 at two hours. However, the concentrations of rhubarb juice above 20% inhibited apple browning effectively with no change in the L value for several hours. Analysis of oxalic acid in rhubarb juice showed that the 20% solution contained about 67 mg/100g.

    Notes: Two extraction methods, simultaneous distillation-extraction and direct extraction by solvents, were compared to analyze aroma compounds added to cookies using a model system. The optimum extraction was obtained after 1 hr of simultaneous distillation-extraction, but some compounds such as vanillin, γ-butyrolactone, maltol, and 4-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-butanone were not easily distilled. However, these compounds were extracted well by direct extraction using polar or apolar solvents. These two methods are complementary and can be well adapted to cookie aroma analysis.

    Notes: Twelve cultivars were prepared as slices and stored 12 days at 2°C. Changes in respiration and quality factors were compared. Initial respiration rates among cultivars varied from 3.5 mL CO2/kg/hr in Delicious to 7.6 mL CO2/kg/hr in Monroe and decreased rapidly during the first 3 days. Idared, McIntosh, Delicious, and Rome showed relatively low respiration throughout storage. Firmness of slices during storage decreased gradually for 7 days and more rapidly thereafter. Empire, Golden Delicious, and Idared apples showed minimum changes in firmness. Change in color of slices was rapid during the first 3 days. Cortland. Emuire. Golden Delicious. New York 674. and Delicious showed least browning. Titratable acidity, pH, soluble solids, and weight changes during storage were small and varied by cultivar. NY674, Cortland, Golden Delicious, Empire, and Delicious showed more desirable attributes for minimal processing.
