Eggshell Quality Assessment Methodology

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
In this study, eggshell quality, including eggshell strength, eggshell thickness, and opacity of cuticle was detected. The eggshell strength was measured by an eggshell strength tester (Model-I, Robotmation Co. Ltd., Tokyo, Japan). The eggshell thickness was expressed by the mean thickness of the blunt end, medium end, and sharp end of the eggshell, which was measured by a helical micrometer (0–25 mm/0.001 mm, Mitutoy, Kawasaki, Japan) after stripping the inner shell membrane. The opacity of cuticle (α value) was calculated according to Chen et al. (2019) (link) after the measurement of the eggshell color before and after dyeing with MST glue protective blue dye (M.S. Technology Co., Ltd, England) with color spectrophotometer (CM-700d, Konica Minolta Inc., Tokyo, Japan).

Quantitative Scar Assessment Protocol

The surface areas of scars were imaged with a digital camera. The images of the surface areas of the scars were measured with a ruler and compared to a 1-cm2 standard. Measurements were assessed with Image J software (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, USA). The color of the scar was quantitatively analyzed with a spectrophotometer (CM-700D; Konica Minolta, Inc., Tokyo, Japan). The color of each scar was examined with melanin (the degree of scar darkness) and erythema (the degree of scar redness) indices.26 (link) Pliability was measured with a durometer (H1000 Mini-Dial, RexGauge Co., Buffalo Grove, IL, USA). Each value was measured more than three times, and the average value was calculated. All of the evaluations were performed every 10 days until the 50th day after virus injection by the same individual who was blinded to the experimental group. Scar area, color index, and pliability were measured by an independent blinded physician.

Skin Color Measurement Spectrophotometer

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We used a spectrophotometer (CM-700d; Konica Minolta Inc., Tokyo, Japan) to measure skin surface color with the L* a* b* color notation system [26 (link)]. The L* parameter represents luminance (L* = 0 for absolute black and L* = 100 for absolute white), so lower L* represents darker pigmentation of the skin surface. We measured the L* value of the skin samples as an index of the skin color related to melanin content. Three measurements were performed for each sample.

Measurement of Freeze-Dried Sample Color

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The CIEL*a*b* color space method was used to measure the color of the freeze-dried samples. A visual angle of 10° and standard illuminant D65 was established to obtain the color coordinates using the Konica Minolta CM-700d colorimeter (Konica Minolta CM-700d/600d series, Tokyo, Japan). The parameters obtained according to the CIEL*a*b* system was L*, brightness (L* = 100 (white), L* = 0 (black)); a* (+a* = red, −a* = green,); and b* (+b* = yellow, −b* = blue) [36 ]. Chroma (C*ab, saturation), hue angle (h*ab). Color differences between samples were evaluated by comparing the effect of pulp in gels with and without coproduct with respect to the lowest concentration gel (FD30% vs. FD50%, FD70%, FDBP50%, and FDBP70%) (ΔE1), and comparing the control samples and the respective one with coproduct (FD30% vs. FDBP30%, FD50% vs. FDBP50%, and FD70% vs. FDBP70%) (ΔE2).

Spectrophotometric Analysis of Specimen Yellowing

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Yellowing measurements of each specimen performed for KNH analysis were taken with a
D65 illuminant over white (CIE L*=91.1, a*=1.2 and b*=-3.4, Y=78.8) background using
a pre-calibrated spectrophotometer, CM-700d (Konica Minolta; Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo,
Japan) with a diameter tip of 4 mm. The tip of the spectrophotometer was placed in
the middle of each specimen using a Teflon jig and three measurements were taken of
each specimen. The yellowing was determined by b* axis coordinate parameter value, in
which, +b* = yellow and −b* = blue.

Skin Radiance Measurement using Spectrophotometer

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Skin radiance was measured on the cheek using a spectrophotometer/colourimeter CM 700D (Konica Minolta), by illuminating the skin with diffuse light, generated by the Ulbricht sphere of the colourimeter, which allows the determination of the gloss component by calculating the relationship between directional and diffuse reflection. The method is called 8° gloss value because the sensor measuring the light is 8° to the vertical [42 ].

The contents of moisture ash and protein were analyzed by American Association of Cereal Chemists (AACC) Method 44-15A, 08-01, 46-12 (AACC, 2010) respectively, the wet gluten content was determined by the Glutomatic® system (Glutomatic 2200, Perten Instruments, Hagersten, Sweden) as in AACC method 38-12A, and the dietary fiber content was analyzed according to AACC Method 32-07. Starch damage was measured according to AACC Method 76-31 (AACC, 2010) using the Damaged Starch Analyzer (SDmatic, Chopin Technologies, Villeneuve La Garenne, France). The L (lightness) value, the a (redness) value, and the b (yellowness) value were measured using the spectrophotometer CM-700d (Konica Minolta Sensing Americas, Inc, Ramsey, NJ, USA). Particle size was measured by the Particle Size Analyzer 1190 (CILAS, Orléans, France).

A 24-well plate containing individual samples of native or HMT flour of 500 mg in weight was photographed using a Nikon D90 digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) camera (Nikon Corporation, Tokyo, Japan). The chromaticity of each sample was determined by using a spectrocolorimeter CM-700d (Konica Minolta, Inc., Tokyo, Japan) following the manufacturer’s instructions. The total color difference (ΔE) and whiteness index (WI) were calculated as following formulas [35 (link)]: ΔE=ΔL2+Δa2+Δb2
WI=100  (100  L)2+a2+b2

Colorimetric evaluations of the red (a*), yellow (b*), and brown (BI, defined as 100-L*) indices of bread crumb, re-milled semolina, and milling by-products were carried out under D65 illuminant by using a spectro-colorimeter CM-700d (Konica Minolta Sensing, Osaka, Japan) equipped with a pulsed xenon lamp. Remilled semolina and milling by-products were placed in the granular materials attachment (Konica Minolta Sensing, Osaka, Japan) to obtain a smooth surface suitable for color readings.

For the surface color of potatoes within 180 min after opening the bag, this was evaluated using a CM-700d portable colorimeter (Konica Minolta, Inc., Tokyo, Japan). The time that browning started was recorded simultaneously. For the color properties (L*: brightness, a*: red-green color, b*: yellow-blue color), 10 potatoes were taken in each storage period, and five points were taken randomly for each potato. The average of the measured values of 50 points in total was taken as the color value.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
