The Effect of the Incorporation Level of <i>Rosa rugosa</i> Fruit Pomace and Its Drying Method on the Physicochemical, Microstructural, and Sensory Properties of Wheat Pasta by Grażyna Cacak-Pietrzak, Agata Marzec, Aleksandra Rakocka, Andrzej Cendrowski, Sylwia Stępniewska, Renata Nowak, Anna Krajewska, Dariusz Dziki

“…The microwave–vacuum drying resulted in pasta with shorter cooking times, lower cooking loss, and higher total phenolic content and antioxidant activity compared to convective drying. Although the drying method did not markedly affect sensory attributes, ultrastructural analysis revealed that samples subjected to convective drying had a more compact structure, while microwave–vacuum dried pasta exhibited larger pores and smaller starch granules. …”

Improved neutrosophic exponential-ratio estimator of population mean with simple random sampling by Bhatt Ravi Jitendrakumar, Ashish Kumar, Monika Saini

“…In this paper we present a neutrosophic exponential-ratio estimator for calculating the population mean using simple random sampling. In sampling methods classical statistics always depends on exact and complete data, but when we are dealing with unclear data these all become insufficient. …”
