the preferred colour for surimi is white, but surimi prepared from light fillets of common carp (cyprinus carpio) is slightly pink. hydrogen peroxide (h2o2; 1-3% v/v) with and without sodium tri-polyphosphate (stp; 1-2% w/v) was added to a sodium carbonate bath (ph 7.0-11.5) resulting in a final ph range of 4.4 to 10.1 which was injected into carp fillets. after soaking and tumbling for 30 min ...

Granular structures containing inorganic polyphosphate were found in Micrococcus lysodeikticus. These structures were isolated by fractionation of the bacterial extract obtained by lysing the organisms with lysozyme. The composition of the fraction which was enriched with these structures was found to be: protein, 24%; lipids, 30%; and polyphosphate, 27%. This fraction also contained small amou...

This review covers some trends and approaches to the study of inorganic polyphosphates that originated from the fruitful ideas and pioneering works of A. N. Belozersky. This is, first of all, the elucidation of a close relationship between these biopolymers and nucleic acids in organisms at different evolutionary stages; second, the study of "fossil" reactions in polyphosphate metabolism that p...

OBJECTIVE Polyphosphate and heparin are anionic polymers released by activated mast cells and platelets that are known to stimulate the contact pathway of coagulation. These polymers promote both the autoactivation of factor XII and the assembly of complexes containing factor XI, prekallikrein, and high-molecular-weight kininogen. We are searching for salivary proteins from blood-feeding insect...
