This study examined the effects of long-term frozen storage (-20 °C for 5 months) of free amino acids (FAAs) and nucleotide-related compounds (NRCs) in muscle and hepatopancreas of the coconut crab Birgus latro. Although long-term frozen storage had little effect on FAA composition in muscle, the amounts of several FAAs increased in the hepatopancreas that may be the result of protein decomposi...

Storage proteins are deposited into protein storage vacuoles (PSVs) during plant seed development and maturation and stably accumulate to high levels; subsequently, during germination the storage proteins are rapidly degraded to provide nutrients for use by the embryo. Here, we show that a PSV has within it a membrane-bound compartment containing crystals of phytic acid and proteins that are ch...

Estimation of protein stability is important for many reasons: first providing an understanding of the basic thermodynamics of the process of folding, protein engineering, and protein stability plays important role in biotechnology especially in food and protein drug design. Today, proteins are used in many branches, including industrial processes, pharmaceutical industry, and medical fields. A...

abstract effect of different concentrations of salicylic acid on postharvest life of kiwifruit (actinidia deliciosa) cultivar hayward at 0 ±.5 °c and 90-95% rh was studied. fruits were treated with salicylic acid (0, 1 and 2 mmol/l-1) and stored at 0±.5°c for 16 weeks. fruit quality attributes assessment including firmness, total acidity, soluble solid content, ascorbic acid, antioxidant activi...

abstract in this study, big-head carp flesh was processed and fish finger was produced by the formula of 1, 2 and 3 with 70, 80 and 93.5 percent of big head fish flesh respectively. then sensory attributes, biochemical changes and nutritional value such as peroxide value (pv), thiobarbituric acid (tba) and the total volatile nitrogen (tvb-n) changes and microbial load of all three formulas were...

in this study, symbiotic yog-ice (rozen yogurt) was produced that was inoculated with different levels of inulin(0,2.5 amd 5%)as prebiotic compound and lactobacillus casei as probiotic bacteria in two types; free and encapsulated with sodium algint-whey protein concentration for low fat yog-ice cream.the survivability of this probiotic bacteria was evaluated under simulated gastro-intestinal co...
