Protein by-products from the extraction of lecithin from egg yolk can be converted into value-added products, such as bioactive hydrolysates and peptides that have potential health enhancing antioxidant, and antihypertensive properties. In this study, the antioxidant and angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activities of peptides isolated and purified from egg yolk protein were invest...

Williams and Fieger (1946) found that Lactobacillus casei could be grown continuously in a medium containing only traces of biotin if oleic acid was present at a suitable concentration. Trager (1947) observed a similar effect with a neutral oil (designated FSF) obtained from hydrolyzed horse plasma. This material, which had some biotin activity for chickens as well as for bacteria, permitted fu...

2014 We present an extensive light-microscopic study of mutual adhesion of egg (and dimyristoyl) lecithin bilayers in highly swollen samples, including adhesion brought about by osmotic inflation of vesicles. The lateral tensions associated with adhesion, if below ca. 3 x 10-4 dyn cm-1, could be read from a rounding of the membrane next to the contact area. The contact angle of symmetric adhesi...

The small intestine generally transports dietary fats to circulation in triglyceride (TG)-rich lipoproteins. The two main intestinal lipoproteins are chylomicron (CM) and very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL). Unfortunately, studies on the CM biogenesis and intestinal transport of dietary fats have been hampered by the lack of an adequate in vitro model. In this study, we investigated the possibl...

Micellar, discoidal complexes of human apolipoprotein A-I (apo A-I) with phosphatidylcholines and cholesterol, prepared by the method described in the preceding paper (Matz, C. M., and Jonas, A. (1982) J. Biol. Chem. 257, 4535-4540), were used as substrates for human lecithin cholesterol acyltransferase, purified 10,000-fold. The micellar complexes of apo A-I.egg yolk-phosphatidylcholine.choles...

A beneficial effect of dietary phospholipid (PL) supplementation in purified diets in terms of survival, growth, resistance to stress tests, and occurrence of deformities has been demonstrated in larval and juvenile stages of various species of fish and crustaceans. The exact, determination of PL requirements in larvae is complicated due to the difficulty to bio-encapsulate PL in live prey. Fur...

Bangkit cookie is a traditional Indonesian that particularly popular among the Malay people on Sumatra Island, in Riau Province. cookies are composed entirely of sago flour, which contains high carbohydrate but low protein content. Tempeh flour's content expected to enhance cookies. In addition, usage emulsifier will also be improve texture bangkit This study aimed determine best type tempeh fl...
