The highly specific and sensitive latex agglutination test for cryptococcal antigen detection in cerebrospinal fluid is routine in many hospitals. Contamination of cerebrospinal fluid by a minute amount of syneresis fluid (surface condensation) from agar gave a strongly positive reaction which was heat stable, was not eliminated by pronase treatment, and was not detected by the normal rabbit gl...

Five strains of gram-negative, yellow chromogenic bacilli were recovered from clinical specimens which fit the characteristics of the "lathyri-herbicola group" within the genus Erwinia. The strains were facultatively anaerobic, fermentative, anaerogenic bacilli with peritrichous flagella which grew at 37 C, reduced nitrate to nitrite, and failed to produce oxidase, pectinase, arginine dihydrola...

The amount of nonfibrin proteins occluded within fibrin clots was investigated with specific radioiodinated human protein fractions. Vigorous washing of the clot followed by syneresis on absorbant paper removed all but small traces of albumin and alpha and gamma globulins. These fractions constituted approximately 6% of the total proteins in fibrin clots when fibrinogen concentrations were norm...

Tofu was elaborated using water-soluble extract of soybean grains from the cultivar BRS 267 with cardoon flower (C. Cardunculus L.), as coagulant an alternative to traditional magnesium chloride. The tofu were evaluated in relation physical, chemical, microbiological and sensory properties during 14 days. Was obsersed for coagulated that moisture, pH, total mineral, protein, syneresis decreased...

The panna cotta is one of the Italian desserts served cold. row materials for this dessert are cream and milk that cooked with other ingredients such as sugar gelatine. characteristics resemble pudding, but gel nature softer can melt in mouth when eaten. This study was purposed to determine quality after use konjac flour (Amorphophallus konjac) substitution research conducted using a non factor...

The techno-functionality of exopolysaccharides (EPS) from Streptococcus thermophilus in stirred fermented milk is affected by several extrinsic (e.g., base composition) and intrinsic amount properties EPS) factors. aim this study was to use skim models identify the key factors that influence physical with EPS. For that, fermentation carried out one three single S. strains (intrinsic factors) at...
