Drying slices

With dry slices, the half-normal weight is introduced with basic lead acetate into a 200 c.c. flask and the volume made up to 206 c.c. or 12 64 grams of substance are made up to 200 Mohr c.c. or 12 62 grams up to 200 true c.c. The polarisation in a 20 cm. tube, multiplied by 4, gives the percentage of sugar. 

An alkaloid obtained from the cactus Lophophora williamsii (= Anhalonium williamsii = A. lewinii) (Cactaceae), which grows in the northern regions of Mexico. The cactus is also known by the names peyote or peyotl and dried slices of the cactus are called mescal buttons .

In 1837 Schutzenbach, instead of using fresh raspings from which to extract the juice, proposed to dry slices of beetroot to preserve them. These could afterwards be softened in water to which milk of lime was added, and... 

Dried slices with 10 g water/100 g sample were further equilibrated at different moisture contents in chambers at 20°C with controlled relative humidity, using saturated salt solutions P2O5 = 0, LiCl = 0.11 and CH3COOK = 0.22 (Katz and Labuza, 1981). 

SQUILL, Scillae bulbus The drug consists of the dried sliced bulbs of Drimia maritime (L.) Steam syn. Ur inea, maritima, (L.) Bake, family Hyacinthaceae, from which the membranous outer scales have been removed (fig. 11). 

It was thought that starch might be isolated with mixed enzyme from air-dried sweet potato powder prepared by the dry milling process. Starch would be produced throughout the year from sliced air-dried sweet potato. Air-dried sliced sweet potato was disintegrated in a Waring Blendor and fractionated with pharmacopoeial seven sieves. Four representative fractions were selected and 40 grams of each was shaken with... 

The enzymatic process was improved as follows. After soaking air-dried sliced sweet potato in water for 3 hr., they were disintegrated by a disposer (Hush Waste King Universal 3000) for separating starch...

Production of dried sliced pork and control of various parameters utilized in production were described by Kuo and Ockerman (1985). They considered the effects of nitrate, packaging methods, and storage time on residual nitrite, TEA values, and sensory properties. Residual nitrite decreased with increasing storage times at 1°C. The addition of nitrate plus vacuum...

Anhalonium lewinii Hennings, syn. Lophophora wilUamsii (Lemaire) Coulter Britton and Rose, known as pellote, peyote, peyotl, and challote. The dried slices are called mescal buttons. Contains mescaline, N-methylmescaline, iV-acetylmescaline, anhalamine, anhalidine, anhalinine, anhalonidine, pellotine, 0-methylanhalonidine, anhalonine, and lophopho-rine (1, 37-59). 

Characters.—Fresh corm about the size of a chestnut, flattened where it has an undeveloped bud furnished with an outer brown and an inner yellow coat internally white, solid, and fleshy, yielding, when cut, a milky, acrid, and bitter juice. Dried slices about a tenth of an inch thid , moderately indented on one, rarely on both, sides Arm, flat, whitish, amylaceous. 

Konjac tubers are washed, peeled, sliced, and dried. The dried slices are milled into flour and air classified (Konjac flour). Konjac flour contains about 70% glucomannan. Konjac flour cau be further purified by alcohol to remove soluble starch to produce Konjac gum.
