Starch to repress syneresis of curdlan gel.

Characterization of Physicochemical Properties of Xanthan/curdlan Hydrogel Complex for Applications in Frozen Food Products

Title of Document: CHARACTERIZATION OF PHYSICOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF XANTHAN/CURDLAN HYDROGEL COMPLEX FOR APPLICATIONS IN FROZEN FOOD PRODUCTS Patrick D. Williams, Doctor of Philosophy, 2011 Directed By: Associate Professor, Y. Martin Lo, Department of Nutrition and Food Science Syneresis, expulsion of moisture from food, remains a major challenge in frozen products due to post-production tempe...

Exopolysaccharide Production and Prevention of Syneresis in Starch Using Encapsulated Probiotic Lactobacillus plantarum

Encapsulation of probiotic bacteria with a matrix can increase their survival rate by protecting them from adverse conditions and at the same time without affecting the production of metabolites. An effort has been made to encapsulate the probiotic Lactobacillus plantarum using calcium alginate. Box-Behnken model of response surface methodology (RSM) was employed in the optimization of major en...

Starch-gel electrophoresis of rat-serum proteins.

In 1955, Smithies (1) described a procedure for the separation of human serum proteins by horizontal zone electrophoresis in starch gels. The separation of zones was improved by a later modification to a vertical electrophoresis in which the sample was inserted in the gel, free from supporting medium (2). With these methods, it has been demonstrated that many more protein fractions can be separ...

Behavior of the Serum proteins in starch-agar-gel electrophoresis

Caeruloplasmin as demonstrated by starch gel electrophoresis.

Starch gel electrophoresis has demonstrated that graded concentrations of sodium sulphate do not precipitate the serum globulins in any reasonable degree of purity. The use of this form of electrophoresis has shown that caeruloplasmin is associated with a globulin in the Fa(2) position.This technique can be employed as a screening test for patients suspected of suffering from hepatolenticular d...
