HEMICELLULOSE FROM OAT HULLS

Kernels from hulls

The kernel of a polygon has long been an object of study in computational geometry, especially in the context of art gallery theorems. In this paper, we present two new algorithms for computing the kernel of a plane curve. We show that the computation of the kernel of a plane curve can be reduced to the computation of the convex hull of a plane curve, revealing the computational and structural ...

-ATPase from Oat Seedlings

Acidification of endomembrane compartments by the vacuolar-type H 1 -ATPase (V-ATPase) is central to many cellular processes in eukaryotes, including osmoregulation and protein sorting. The V-ATPase complex consists of a peripheral sector (V 1 ) and a membrane integral sector (V o ); however, it is unclear how the multimeric enzyme is assembled. A 64-kD polypeptide that had copurified with oat ...

Constitutive analysis of the nonlinear viscoelastic properties of cellulosic fiber gels produced from corn or oat hulls

The evaluation and development of validated models for the nonlinear viscoelastic (VE) behavior of materials is an important area of research, which has impact on a number of industrial processes including those in the food industry. Various nonlinear VE models have been developed over the years and evaluated for petroleum-based polymers, however, our understanding of the nonlinear VE behavior ...

Polar Lipids from Oat Kernels

Cereal Chem. 87(5):467–474 Oat (Avena sativa L.) kernels appear to contain much higher polar lipid concentrations than other plant tissues. We have extracted, identified, and quantified polar lipids from 18 oat genotypes grown in replicated plots in three environments to determine genotypic or environmental variation in these lipids. Validation experiments indicated a solid phase silica gel ext...
