CONCENTRATION AND PURIFI CATION OF YACON (SMALLANTHUS SONCHIFOLIUS) ROOT FRUCTOOLIGOSACCHARIDES USING MEMBRANE TECHNOLOGY

Concentration and Purifi cation of Yacon (Smallanthus sonchifolius) Root Fructooligosaccharides Using Membrane Technology

Yacon is a perennial plant originating from the Andean region whose roots have been receiving increased att ention due to their high content of prebiotic fructooligosaccharides (FOS).Apart from many health benefi ts, FOS have interesting characteristics as food ingredients, so are used as sugar substitute, and their extraction from yacon roots may

Rcapture: Loglinear Models for Capture-Recapture in R

This article introduces Rcapture, an R package for capture-recapture experiments.The data for analysis consists of the frequencies of the observable capture histories over the t capture occasions of the experiment.A capture history is a vector of zeros and ones where one stands for a capture and zero for a miss.Rcapture can fit three types of model
