Application of Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and Modulated Differential Scanning Calorimetry (MDSC) in Food and Drug Industries

Practical Food Applications of Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC)

This note describes a number of important food applications utilising the PerkinElmer DSC demonstrating the versatility of the technique as a tool in the food industry.

Differential scanning calorimetry of bacteria.

Thermograms obtained by differential scanning calorimetry of a range of bacteria of different heat resistances were compared. Equations were derived to calculate the rate at which the numbers of viable organisms in a calorimeter decline as the temperature is raised at a constant rate. Vegetative bacteria scanned at 10 degrees C min-1 showed multi-peaked thermograms with four major peaks (denote...

Evaluation and Characterization of Free and Immobilized Acethylcholinesterase with Fluorescent Probe, Differential Scanning Calorimetry and Docking

Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) enzyme which catalyses the hydrolysis of choline esters, such as acetylcholine, is very important in nerve function. Previous structural studies showed the possible amyloid fibril formation on the AChE. Therefore it is important to understand interaction of ligands to prevent the formation of  amyloid fibrils. The purpose of the present study was to  char...

Differential Scanning Calorimetry of Whole

Cereal Chem. 66(4):317-320 The thermal properties of whole grain milled rice and milled rice flour samples. Gelatinization enthalpies were about 40% greater in whole grain were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry. Thermal curves rice compared to rice flour for each variety. Heating rate studies conducted were obtained on representative long, medium, short, and very low amylose on ...
