How to make powdered eggs.

Eggs are a very nutritious source of food that is one of the fundamentals of baking. Eggs provide low-cost but high-quality source of protein, and the only snag about the egg is its short shelf life and fragility. Eggs can easily be turned to powder to increase the shelf-life,to make it easy to store, transport and most especially make it readily available. 

 Eggs can be powdered as whole eggs or the albumen or yolk can be separated and powdered for ease of use in bakeries and pharmaceuticals. The chicken egg powder is used for ice cream and cakes as its a good whipping agent and essential in the cosmetics industry. The egg white is loaded with proteins, iron and its low in fat and cholesterol. 

Weight-watcher,diet enthusiasts and all those on a slimming mission,get your feel of eggs by eating egg white powder. The chicken egg white powder gives the same nutritious egg taste without the mess of separating the egg white from the yolk. 

 Egg yolk powder,prepared from fresh eggs without any additives or preservatives used in food processes that require emulsification properties of egg yolk. The powdered egg yolk is useful in confectioneries, such as doughnuts,bread and biscuits. The yolk is also used for making body creams and conditioners,salad cream and mayonnaise. .

 The making of egg powder; things required are 1) eggs 2) blender 3) dehydrator 4) storage jars.There are 2 popular methods of making the powdered eggs these are cook-dry method and the wet-dry method. 

 

 The cook-dry method basically involves:

1) Break eggs and whip in a bowl.

 2) pour the mix in a clean pan ,and fry as scrambled eggs.

3) pour the scrambled eggs in a dehydrator/dryer and let it dry completely for about 4-5 hours.

 4) put the dried egg in a blender and pulverize 5) bag and store.

 

 

 The wet-dry method as the name suggests requires no cooking of any sort,this is how its done. 1) Get fresh eggs and beat in a bowl. 2) pour the properly whipped mixture in a dehydrator. 3) leave and let it dry completely for 5 hours. 4) place the dried mix in a blender and pulverize. 5) bag and store. 

 The procedure outlined is for small scale production,when commercialization of product is the objective then bigger machines are utilized.

 The machines are a combination of all the parts outlined above,see Powdered eggs at your fingertips,order yours today. #bakery #cosmetics #pharmaceuticals #salon. call now!!!

Soil health, food security and climate change.

The way we farm not only affects soil,the quality of produce and climate changes it also impacts on our health and the productive ability of the land. The aggressive cultivation of land,combined with indiscriminate use of chemicals ,not only pollutes the environment,but has been identified as a source of poisoning. Deteriorating soil causes problems with our food supply and, surprisingly, leads to more carbon in the atmosphere. See what farmers and nonprofit organizations are doing to improve our farmland and our environment. There is a need to do something about this according to the recommendation of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). Its 2015 report states that “33 percent of land is moderately to highly degraded.” In fact, the report reads, “the majority of the world’s soil resources are in only fair, poor or very poor condition.” The effort is really just about changing the focus from the crop to the soil and what does the soil need so we don’t have to add a ton of fertility every year.” Reducing added fertilizers—natural or otherwise—meant giving scheduling priority to soil-building crops above revenue-producing ones. more

How to make paper from elephant dung.

This is an interesting write-up on waste to wealth,how to turn elephant dung into high quality paper.Kenyan entrepreneur John Matano it is all about what comes out of the other end of the world’s largest land mammal. The 58-year-old collects elephant dung that he turns into high quality paper, and for a continuing supply of dung, he very much wants Kenya’s elephants to remain alive and well. People might be a bit sniffy about the thought of elephant droppings being turned into paper,but the fact is its a small but growing industry in the East African country. There are 17 firms now involved, according to official government figures. “If you ask me ‘is paper from elephant dung of reasonable quality?’, the answer is a big yes,” says Mr Matano, whose business Nampath Paper employs 42 people, and makes an annual profit of 2.3m Kenyan shillings ($23,000; £15,700). Kenya’s elephant dung paper industry is centred on the Mwaluganje Elephant Sanctuary, a community-owned 36 sq km (14 sq mile) conservation area for elephants, 28 miles (45km) south west of the coastal city of Mombasa. Making the paper started as a pilot project in 1994, before commercialisation began a decade later when local farmers such as Mr Matano set up their own paper-making businesses. The sanctuary itself was established in 1993 both to help elephants, but also to assist 200 or so local farmers. The farmers had for generations had to put up with elephants from the nearby government-owned Shimba Hills National Reserve walking into their farmlands and eating or destroying crops. This resulted in serious and sometimes deadly conflicts between humans and elephants. Mr Matano says that making paper from elephant dung “is not complicated at all, it is an easy affair”. The faeces, which are full of grass and other plant fibre that has been broken down by the elephant’s digestive system, is first thoroughly washed. “After washing, clean fibres remain,” says Mr Matano. “Then the fibre is boiled for four hours in a vat to thoroughly ensure it is clean. “Then after that, much of the process is similar to that of making regular paper [from wood pulp].” Mr Matano adds: “An average elephant eats 250kg of food each day. Out of that amount about 50kg of dung is produced, and 125 sheets of [A4] paper can be produced from each 50kg.” He says that both the price and quality is similar to standard paper, but with the added benefit of reducing deforestation. The business is very rewarding,according

The bottled water story.

Bottled water risks include more than just draining your bank account. You see, those single-use bottles found in supermarkets, gas stations and gyms across the country are what I like to call “toxic rip-offs.” Why? Because you’re paying way more for a product that contains harmful compounds. Case in point: A recent German-led study found that a single bottle of bottle water contained nearly 25,000 chemicals. More on that later. And to be clear, I’m not talking about those hard plastic, reusable water bottles know for their BPA toxic effects. I’m referring to the ones people use once then either recycle or toss in the garbage. It’s time we explore how expensive, unhealthy and unsustainable bottled water is, along with some very harmful side effects of the bottled water industry. While I don’t want to discount the fact that some people are relying on bottled water to survive, for instance, families whose drinking water is contaminated from ever-more-common flooding, lead-contaminated, outdated infrastructure, fracking chemicals or pipeline spills, it’s safe to say that most Americans drinking bottled water are doing it out of convenience rather than necessity. Chemicals in the Bottled Water. Some of the chemicals detected in bottled water are linked to abnormal hormone function and an increased risk of cancer, among other ills. Most convenience-size beverage bottles sold in the U.S. are made from polyethylene terephthalate (PET). This is referred to as #1 on the bottom-of-the-bottle recycling code. Believed to be a relatively safe single-use plastic, evidence is emerging that PET may leach antimony trioxide, a catalyst and flame retardant in PET. In fact, the longer the water is sitting in a PET bottle, the more chemicals released into the water. Warm temperatures also are believed to accelerate leaching. (Translation: Leaving bottled water in hot cars is dangerous.) Workers chronically exposed to antimony trioxide report issues like respiratory and skin irritation, irregular periods and miscarriage. Phthalate endocrine disruptors also leach from PET. One study found antimony levels in bottled water increased anywhere from 19 to 90 percent after 6 months of storage at room temperature. Antimony is considered a carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, part of the World Health Organization. continue

New canine cancer treatment protocol give hope for human cases.

New canine cancer treatment protocol gives hope for human cases. Flyer, a 70-pound golden retriever, lies patiently on her left side on an examination table as technicians scurry around, placing little sandbags on her legs and neck to keep her still. She's getting chest X-rays to answer a critical question: Has a deadly bone cancer spread to her lungs? When the session is over, Martha MaloneyHuss, a veterinarian at the University of Pennsylvania's Ryan Veterinary Hospital, glances at the images. "I don't see anything hugely obvious," she says, "but we'll see what the radiologist says." Oblivious to the good news, Flyer hops down the hall on three legs, eager to find her owner. After the 8-year-old retriever began limping last year, she was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a painful, aggressive cancer that often strikes Great Danes, Irish wolfhounds and other large breeds. At Penn Vet, she got the standard treatment: One of her left legs was amputated, and she underwent chemotherapy. Yet even as she adjusted to chasing squirrels, her prognosis was bleak. Most dogs die in about a year when the disease resurfaces in the lungs. The Penn vets recommended an experimental vaccine designed to prevent or delay the cancer's return; Flyer's owner was enthusiastic. The dog got three intravenous doses as part of a clinical trial and now returns to Penn periodically for X-rays. "Every day I pray that she will stay cancer-free," said her owner, Bob Street, who lives in Mullica Hill, New Jersey. "And that this treatment will work for other dogs and for people."Flyer is part of a burgeoning field called "comparative oncology." It focuses on finding new ways to treat cancer in pets, mostly dogs, in an effort to develop innovative treatments for people and animals. The growing interest in dogs reflects researchers' frustration with the standard approach to developing cancer treatments: testing them in lab animals, especially mice. Mice don't normally get cancer - it must be induced - and the immune systems in many strains of lab mice have been altered. That makes them especially poor models for immunotherapy, a rapidly growing field of medicine that directs patients' own immune systems to fight their cancer. Dogs, on the other hand, get cancer naturally, just as people do, and have intact immune systems. more
