The effects of heat treatment on oat and barley starch water dispersions were investigated. As compared with barley starch, the granules from oat starch were more degraded, but the fractionation patterns of both starches were not significantly different. Microscopic examination indicated that no evidence of amylopectin fragments was observed in the liquid fraction after starch dispersions were ...

A severe health problem brought on by increased cashew nut use and dietary cooking changes is allergy. It the of trace amounts Ana-o 3, 1, 2 allergens from nuts. Enzymatic processing, oral immunotherapy, adrenaline auto-injector devices are effective treatment options. The labelling foods containing nuts crucial for prevention

Enzymatic extraction was investigated to improve the quality of black tea extracts with pretreatment of pectinase and tannase independently, successively and simultaneously. Pectinase improved the extractable-solids-yield (ESY) up to 11.5%, without much of an improvement in polyphenols recovery, while tannase pre-treatment showed a significant improvement in polyphenols recovery (14.3%) along w...

Enzymatic bonding methods, based on laccase or peroxidase enzymes, for lignocellulosic products such as medium-density fiberboard and particleboard are discussed with reference to the increasing costs of presently used petroleum-based adhesives and the health concerns associated with formaldehyde emissions from current composite products. One approach is to improve the self-bonding properties o...

Recent findings in amino acid metabolism and the differences between normal, healthy cells and neoplastic cells have revealed that targeting single amino acid metabolic enzymes in cancer therapy is a promising strategy for the development of novel therapeutic agents. Arginine is derived from dietary protein intake, body protein breakdown, or endogenous de novo arginine production and several st...

BACKGROUND The process of meat industry produces in a large amount of wastewater that contains high levels of colour and chemical oxygen demand (COD). So they must be pretreated before their discharge into the ecological system. METHODS In this paper, enzymatic catalysis (EC) was adopted to treat the meat wastewater. RESULTS Box-Behnken design (BBD), an experimental design for response surf...

Enzymes such as lipases and proteases have been used catalysts in nearly anhydrous organic solvents diisopropyl ether hexane to carry out stereospecific selective enzymatic resolutions of carboxylic acid derivatives 2-bromohexadecanoic acid, which may be for prevention treatment bone loss-related diseases β-phenyllactic has a role human metabolite.
