Two studies were conducted to determine 1) the effect of post-mortem time before chilling on hot boned prerigor breast muscle water-holding capacity (WHC), and 2) post-mortem temperature effect on sarcomere length and drip loss of uncooked breast, and shear force and WHC of turkey breast muscle that is hot-boned, marinated, and cooked. In Study 1, the turkey breast muscle was excised immediatel...

The effect of polyphosphates (eight compounds) on growth of Staphylococcus aureus 196E in brain heart infusion broth was studied. The organism was sensitive (in decreasing order) to chain polyphosphates with 21, 3, 13, and 15 PO4 groups, and bactericidal effects were observed with 0.5% of these compounds. No inhibition was effected by PPi or a metaphosphate. The inhibitory effects were pH depen...

The environmental effects of coordination compounds are discussed from the point of view of the introduction of unnatural levels of metal ions and ligands into various parts of the ecosystem. The transport of toxic metals, with special reference to mercury, lead, and cadmium, is described, and the available information on the nature of these metals as they exist in the environment is examined. ...

The CS-TPP nanoparticles were synthesized and their efficiency for removal of arsenic (V) ions at the optimum conditions was investigated. obtained with mass ratio tripolyphosphate to chitosan 1: 2 pH = 5.0. experimental data adsorption As followed Freundlich isotherm maximum capacity 77 mg/g 6.0. All experiments performed room temperature (25 °C). crosslinking sodium led a decrease in crystall...

Pale or pale, soft, and exudative-like meat can be caused by a decline in pH early postmortem while carcass temperatures are still high. This decrease in pH leads to protein denaturation, attributing to the pale color and poor water-holding capacity that is characteristic of this lesser quality meat. Marination with NaCl and phosphates has been shown to improve protein functionality, thereby re...

The present study was concerned with the selection of suitable surfactant for the production of alpha amylase by Bacillus subtilis GCBM-25 in 250 ml shake flask containing 50 ml of fermentation medium. Different surfactants (laundry soap, detergent powder, sulphonic acid, acyle benzene sulphonic acid, liquid soap, Tween 80, sodium silicate, bath soap, sodium tripolyphosphate, sodium lauryl ethe...

A novel particulate delivery matrix based on ionically crosslinked casein (CAS) nanoparticles was developed for controlled release of the poorly soluble anticancer drug flutamide (FLT). Nanoparticles were fabricated via oil-in-water emulsification then stabilized by ionic crosslinking of the positively charged CAS molecules below their isoelectric point, with the polyanionic crosslinker sodium ...
