Abstract Plant-based emulsion gels can be used as solid animal fat substitutes for vegan sausages. For this reason, commercially available protein isolates with different amino acid profiles from pea, soy and potato (Pea-1, Pea-2, Soy, Potato) have been tested their ability to form shape stable emulsions at neutral pH upon heating 72 °C. In order obtain that are possible, the concentrations in ...

One of the most difficult recycling tasks is deinking of digitally printed paper with water based inkjet inks. The deinking of such paper is very important for the improvement of the digital printing industry. Generally, the manufacturers’ preferred method is INGEDE Method 11p, which defines the universal deinking process. Based on this method, two different deinking procedures were assessed. T...

BACKGROUND The prevalence of peanut allergy appears to have increased in recent decades. Other than a family history of peanut allergy and the presence of atopy, there are no known risk factors. METHODS We used data from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children, a geographically defined cohort study of 13,971 preschool children, to identify those with a convincing history of peanut...

The soybean is a legume that contains no cholesterol and is low in saturated fat. Soybeans have been consumed as a major source of protein by people in Asia for centuries, while their consumption in the West only spans several decades. The soybean is the only vegetable food that contains all eight essential amino acids. It is also a good source of fibre, iron, calcium, zinc, and vitamins. In 20...

Deficiency of omega 3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFAs) in vertebrates produces subtle adverse effects on visual and neural function. Preterm infants 1) are deprived of vital intrauterine fat accretion during late pregnancy, 2) must rely solely on formula for fatty acid supplies if not breastfed, and 3) may have limited postnatal desaturase activity. In a study to evaluate the ne...

All-biomass soy protein-based films were prepared using soy protein isolate (SPI), glycerol, hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) and epoxy castor oil acid sodium (ECOS). The effect of the incorporated HPC and ECOS on the properties of the SPI film was investigated. The experimental results showed that the tensile strength of the resultant films increased from 2.84 MPa (control) to 4.04 MPa and the el...

The influence of the cultivation system and of the culture medium on the biotransformation of (+)-limonene by a strain of Aspergillus niger was investigated. Biooxidation products were obtained in all conditions tested. Using a laboratory bioreactor, six terpenes were identified in every medium, predominantly terpineols and carveols, whereas terpinen-4-ol and perillyl alcohol were the only terp...

AIM To determine growth initiation differences of Listeria monocytogenes between a cheesemaking context, milk and tryptic soy broth (TSB). METHODS AND RESULTS A laboratory-scale cheese was made with a mix of two strains of L. monocytogenes at four initial pH values, five water activity (a(w)) values and two contamination levels at 30°C. Counts of L. monocytogenes were determined at time 0 and...

Direct inquiries to Dr. R. P. Konstance. ABSTRACT Blends were developed to provide 20% protein, 12% fat, 68% carbohydrate and 8% moisture. High protein soy products (full fat flakes, protein isolate and/or concentrate) wer...

castor bean, peanut, soy bean and safflower protein isolates were prepared. the amino acid content of each of the protein isolates was analysed and the essential amino acid contents were compared with the fao human requirements. the results indicated that castor bean has the highest oil and the protein content of defatted meal. safflower 3148 (marand, iran) has the highest amount of essential a...
