The pH was measured with a pH meter edge® HI2002 HANNA instrument (Colombus, OH, USA). Instrumental color evaluations of lightness (L*), green-red (a*) and blue-yellow (b*) were measured using a CM-600d Konica Minolta (Chiyoda, Tokyo, Japan) colorimeter. ΔE was calculated as follows:
The back extrusion (BET) test was performed using a Z1.0 TN texture analyzer (Zwick Roell, Ulm, Germany) equipped with a 5 kg load cell and an extrusion disc (Ø = 40 mm) [31 (link)]. The sample (80 mL) was loaded into a cylinder of 50 mm in diameter and compressed at 1.0 mm s−1 to a depth of 50% of the product’s height. The reported values represent the averages of six replicates. Data were acquired by means of the TestXPertII version 3.41 software (Zwick Roell, Ulm, Germany). The parameters measured were firmness, which is the maximum positive force in compression; consistency, which is the positive area of the curve; cohesiveness, which is the maximum negative force of the curve; the viscosity index, which is the negative area of the curve.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Plant-based beverages were gently stirred five times prior to rheological analyses that were carried out on PBBs maintained at 4°C. Flow curves were obtained using Mars iQ Air HAAKE, molecular advance rheometer system fitted with a Couette measuring geometry with a diameter of 25 mm. The shear rate varied from 0.00185 to 116 s−1 (37 (link)) and shear stress was registered at increasing shear rate. Continuous shear was applied with a delay time of 5 s between measurements at a given shear rate. Strain oscillation frequency sweep was also performed. Frequencies ranged from 0.01 to 9 Hz and the applied strain was 0.00412, which fell within the linear viscoelastic region previously determined by running a strain sweep test (37 (link)). The elastic and viscous modulus (G′ and G″) and loss tangent (tan δ) were registered as function of frequency. All results were processed using HAAKE RheoWin data manager, an internal software.
Instrumental color evaluations of lightness (L*), green-red (a*), and blue-yellow (b*) were performed using a CM-600d Konica Minolta (Chiyoda, Tokyo, Japan) colorimeter.

Dispersions (3 mL) of 2% YMPE in distilled water were adjusted to pH 7, 9, 11 and 13 using 1 M NaOH during a period of 30 minutes at room temperature while stirring at 1000 r/min. For each sample, one drop (8 μL) was taken for microstructural analysis using a Nikon Eclipse Ni-U light microscope coupled to a DS-Fi2 camera (Nikon, Tokyo, Japan). The rest of the dispersion was used for colour measurements using a handheld chroma meter CM 600d KONICA MINOLTA (illuminant D65, 10° observer). A CFI Plan Fluor 20X objective and differential interference contrast (DIC) were used to obtain a good overview and comparison of the solubility of the extract at different pH levels. The colour measurement was applied to give three-dimensional colour coordinates of the dispersions. Under the same conditions, 10% YMPE was prepared and the pH was adjusted to either 7, 11 or first to pH 11 and then adjusted back to pH 7 (pH 11–7) using 1 M NaOH and 1 M HCl. For these three dispersions, one drop (8 μL) was taken for microstructural analysis and the supernatant of the rest of the dispersions was analysed for soluble protein content according to the procedures described.

Surface color of raw lamb patties was measured using a portable spectrophotometer (CM‐600D; Konica Minolta Sensing Inc., Osaka, Japan) equipped with illuminant D65, 8 mm aperture, and 10° standard observer. Lightness (L* value), redness (a* value), and yellowness (b* value) parameters were recorded from two random spots from ten patties per mixture following standard procedures (AMSA, 2012).

Tea Color Appearance and Liquor Analysis

Appearance color index: The color appearance of the tea samples was triangulated by a portable colorimeter (CM-600d, Konica Minolta Investment Co. Ltd., Shanghai, China). “L” represents the brightness; “a” represents the degree of red-green, “b” represents the degree of yellow-blue, “c” represents saturation; “h” represents hue angle (Hua et al., 2020 ).
Liquor color index: a Konica Minolta tabletop spectrophotometer (CM-5 type, Shanghai, China) was used to measure the value of LL, La, and Lb of the tea liquor. “LL” represents the translucent degree, “LL” represents red-green degree, and “Lb” represents yellow-blue degree (Hua et al., 2020 ).

Evaluating Skin Properties with Ultrasound

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Skin properties were evaluated by the same trained researcher in the morning before the training intervention and within a week of the last training session. After removing makeup and washing their face, participants were acclimatized for 10 min to an ambient condition in a room at a temperature of 20–22 °C and a relative humidity of 50–55%. With the participants lying in a supine position, skin elasticity, dermal echogenicity, dermal thickness, and skin tone at the center of the left cheek were measured. The elastic recovery rate was measured as skin elasticity with a suction device (Cutometer, Courage + Khazaka electronic GmbH, Cologne, Germany) with a 2-mm diameter probe at a reduced pressure of 400 mbar; the measurement was performed by using 2 s of suction followed by 2 s of release24 (link),25 (link). The cross-sectional image of the skin was obtained with a 50-MHz ultrasound scanner (DermaScan, Cortex Technology, Hadsund, Denmark), and the number of pixels and LEPs in the upper, middle, and lower dermal layers and the dermal thickness were analyzed in B-mode26 (link),27 (link). The amount of LEPs in each dermal layer was used as a parameter for dermal structure. Skin tone was measured with a spectrophotometer (CM-600d, KONICA MINOLTA, Tokyo, Japan), and the melanin index was calculated to evaluate the participants’ sun exposure during the intervention period46 (link).

The MED was defined as the lowest dose of UVR (millijoules per centimeter square) causing a visually perceptible erythema at 24 h after UVR exposure as previously described (29 (link)). Erythemal intensity was also measured using a spectrophotometer (CM600d; Konica Minolta Sensing Europe, Gothenburg, Sweden) to provide hemoglobin index readings. These readings were performed at 24 and 72 h after UVR exposure. Additionally, hemoglobin index readings were taken at sites exposed to 3× MED UVR at 24, 48, and 72 h.

SP was placed into a 20-mm diameter transparent and colorless cell. In the case of films, the exposed area was sufficiently large in relation to the illuminated area to avoid any edge effect (19 (link)). A Minolta colorimeter (CM-600D, Tokyo, Japan) provided with a 1.5-cm diameter aperture was used at six different points across the sample surface. Hunter Lab color parameters like lightness [L = 0% (black) and L = 100% (white or maximum)], a [−a (greenness) to +a (redness)], and b [-b (blueness) to +b (yellowness)] were determined using D65 standard illuminant, and 2° standard observer. The average and standard deviation for triplicates of SP or films are reported.

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.
