the potential of quince powder was evaluated for the production of fiber rich sponge cakes. in this study, quinces slices were dried in an infrared–hot air dryer (375 w, 60°c and 1 m/s flow rate). the rheological properties of cake batters and physico-chemical, textural and sensory properties of the sponge cake supplemented with five different concentrations (control, 5, 10, 15 and 20 %) of qui...

The possible role of urea and trimethylamine oxide (TMAO) in providing positive buoyancy has been examined for elasmobranch fishes. TMAO has a considerably lower density than an equimolar solution of urea, and solutions of both TMAO and urea are considerably less dense than equimolar solutions of most other body fluid solutes. The body fluid composition of three elasmobranchs, the whiskery shar...

Using high pressure flash photolysis, we revealed that the side chain of Leu(29) controls the reaction volume of the ligand migration process in myoglobin, which is the primary factor for the unusual activation volume of ligand binding in some Leu(29) mutants. As we previously reported (Adachi, S., Sunohara, N., Ishimori, K., and Morishima, I. (1992) J. Biol. Chem. 267, 12614-12621), CO bimolec...

1. The survival of spores of Aspergillus flavus suspended in distilled water and cooled rapidly to -70 to -75 degrees C. was found to depend primarily on the rate of subsequent warming of the frozen suspension. Only 7 per cent of the spores germinated following slow warming at 0.9 degrees C. per minute, whereas about 75 per cent germinated following rapid warming at 700 degrees C. per minute. 2...
