L*, a* and b* were strongly influenced by muscle location and their values were smaller (p 0.05) in semimembranosus than in biceps femoris, as occurred with moisture. The rearing system produced differences (p 0.05) in a* at the first stage and in L* and b* at the final stage of processing. Drying location, probably in association with natural climatic conditions, caused differences (p 0.05) at only the final stage of processing in a* and b* parameters. The variations in colour parameters were mainly affected by rearing system and muscle location.","PeriodicalId":136784,"journal":{"name":"Food Sci Tech Int","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134455012","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main objective of this work was to eliminate mineral salts from model solutions with different nanofiltration membranes: NF200, NF270, Ds-5 DK and Ds-5 DL polyamide. Although all four membranes showed fairly good results in the demineralisation of the used samples, the most promising results in terms of good permeate flux and low solute retention were obtained with the NF200 and Ds-5 DL membranes, respectively. The effect of the salt mixture concentration on permeate flux and solute retention was further evaluated for Ds-5 DL membrane.","PeriodicalId":136784,"journal":{"name":"Food Sci Tech Int","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116444090","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Extraction at pH2.0 solubilised nearly 52.0% of the proteins present in defatted macadamia flour, while extraction with buffer (pH7.2) and alkaline pH (12.0) solubilised about 83.0% of proteins. The yield of isoelectrically precipitated protein from acidic extract (pH2.0, isolate A) was about 65.2% and from neutral (isolate B) and alkaline extracts (isolate C) was slightly over 83.0% which accounted for 33.7, 69.1 and 69.4% of the proteins present in defatted flour. The protein content of the isolates was 80.1, 92.1 and 92.0% in A, B and C isolates respectively. The functional properties of these isolates were significantly different. Isolate A presented better solubility at pH below isoelectric pH, isolate C at pH above isoelectric pH and isolate B intermediate solubility at the pH range studied.

Since high pressure processing has become a viable commercial process within the last decade, its utilisation has been extended to include seafood products, a highly valued niche market. While surimi seafoods have traditionally been commercialised in Japan, surimi has been marketed in North America, Europe, Russia and other Asian countries over the last 20 years. The advantages of UHP surimi processing include manufacture of surimi seafood with natural appearance and imitation seafood analogues, as well as important improvements in textural properties such as hardness and elasticity. UHP can also modify physical and rheological properties of proteins, which could lead to the development of new pressurised seafood products. In short, UHP is a promising technology that could eventually replace heat-induced surimi gels.","PeriodicalId":136784,"journal":{"name":"Food Sci Tech Int","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130006234","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The total phenolic contents were 276.02±2.93mg gallic acid equivalent (GAE)/g in FF (fresh flower) extract and 248.97±2.96mg GAE/g in SF (spent flower) extract. FF and SF extracts showed 74.51±1.65 and 75.94±1.72% antiradical activities at 100ppm. The antioxidant activity of FF extract (372.26±0.96mg/g) was higher than that of SF extract (351.36± 0.84mg/g). Antibacterial activity of the extracts was determined by the agar diffusion method against 15 species of bacteria: Aeromonas hydrophila, Bacillus cereus, Enterobacter aerogenes, Enterococcus feacalis, Escherichia coli, Escherichia coli O157:H7, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Mycobacterium smegmatis, Proteus vulgaris, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Salmonella enteritidis, Salmonella typhimurium, Staphylococcus aureus and Yersinia enterocolitica.

There were determined changes of the length (x-dimension), two widths (y- and z-dimensions), weight, volume and density of the wheat kernel. The length of the wheat kernel during cooking decreased, although crease-side width (y-dimension) and secondary width (z-dimension) significantly increased (p 0.05) at each cooking temperature between 6.95-68.05% and 9.95-69.00%, respectively. The volume of the kernel during cooking also significantly (p 0.05) increased (27.35-185.20%), and had a greater percentage change value than the weight (19.25-160.70%) due to swelling of the wheat kernel. Therefore, density decreased negatively. Activation energy, enthalpy, entropy and Gibbs free energy were used to describe the changes of physical attributes of the wheat kernel during cooking. Rate constant values for the length and density of the wheat kernel were negative in contrast to positive rate constant values of the widths, weight and volume of the wheat kernel. The influence of cooking temperature on the physical properties of the wheat kernel revealed that the rate of change in the secondary width (z-dimension), weight and density of the wheat kernel were more sensitive to temperature due to their greater activation energies, 5.95 107, 5.26 107 and 6.11 107 J, respectively. In contrast, the y-dimension of width of the wheat kernel required a lower amount of energy due to crease side. All of the changes in physical properties agreed with the positive values of Gibbs free energy.","PeriodicalId":136784,"journal":{"name":"Food Sci Tech Int","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114450185","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Results were statistically analysed by multifactor analysis of variance and discriminant analysis. The wine aged in contact with oak chips underwent a quicker ageing, their loss of anthocyanins was also faster and suffered a higher number of polymerisations than the wine aged in barrels. Red wine colour changed during ageing due to the contribution of yellowish pigment compounds, which differed depending on how the oxidative ageing took place, and by the increasing stability of the blue co-pigments. The discriminant analysis showed that samples of the same source wine aged in barrels and with oak chips tended to be grouped together according to ageing system.","PeriodicalId":136784,"journal":{"name":"Food Sci Tech Int","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126461482","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Gelation was traced by measuring the storage modulus (G) during heating-cooling cycles. Variations in G during the heating stage of the mixed system RS-C characterised the presence of a phase separation in this stage due to C solubilitation (at about 50°C) as well as to RS gelation (35-80°C) in the mixture. It was also observed that when C was added as a single ingredient, it inhibited RS gelation as a function of its concentration (2%). Nevertheless, during the cooling stage, the final G value for the RS-2% C mixed system was greatly increased. This reinforcing would be caused by further (cold) C gelation in the mixture. It is theorised that C might act by forming ‘packed’ microgels within the RS protein gel network, which is favoured upon application of a moderate (40°C, 60min) thermal treatment rather than when an extreme (90°C, 20min) treatment is applied. On the other hand, although KCl enhanced gelation of the 2% C solution, addition of this salt to the RS-2% C mixture did not improve its gelation. Rheological information was complemented with observation of the resulting structures by scanning electronic microscopy (SEM).","PeriodicalId":136784,"journal":{"name":"Food Sci Tech Int","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125828350","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
