Polarographic Studies on Storage of Meats. Part IX

Polarographic Studies of Human Blood Sera

R. BrdiEka, in 1937, in a note to the editor of Nature (1), reported the application of the polarographic method to cancer diagnosis, through the measurement of certain sulphur-containing amino acids present in the proteins in human blood serum. Brdicka made tests on the serum from 67 different persons; 32 of these gave an abnormally low polarographic protein effect. These 32 cases were shown b...

Part Ix Afterword

Someone has to go last and in this case the honor falls to Mike Byrne. I did not commission Mike to write “a last chapter” but that is what he did. In a way his chapter 30 and my chapter 1 can be viewed as bookends for the 28 chapters that lie between. I began the book with a short essay on three types of control of cognition that need to be considered when building integrated models of cogniti...

Time-resolved fluorescence studies on protoporphyrin IX-apohorseradish peroxidase.

The hemin moiety of horseradish peroxidase (donor:hydrogen-peroxide oxidoreductase, EC 1.11.1.7) was removed and the apoprotein reconstituted with the fluorescent protoporphyrin IX. Steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence properties of the HRP(desFe) adduct were examined; the multifrequency phase and modulation method was utilized for lifetime and dynamic polarization studies. The emission ...

A sensory perspective of effect of feeds on flavor in meats: poultry meats.

Reduction of feed costs is a major concern of poultry producers. However, replacement of components of a corn-soybean diet with a lower-cost alternative requires the assessment not only of poultry performance and carcass characteristics but also of resulting meat quality. A brief overview of research studies, conducted over the past 10 yr, investigating the effects of alternative poultry feedst...
