Microbial transglutaminase (mTGase) crosslinking is a useful method for significantly improving the physical functionality of proteins. This study focused on the effect of mTGase modification on the functional properties of yak and cow caseins, including solubility, emulsifying property, water and oil absorption capacity, foaming property, and stability in the presence of Na, Ca, and Mg. The re...

Essential oil from the stem bark of Nigerian species of Psidiumguajava of the family Myrtaceae was obtained by hydro-distillation using an all-glass Clavenger apparatus. GC and GC/MS analysis were carried out on the essential oil and was found to contain 62 compounds constituting 99.98 % of the total oil composition. The principal constituents are hydrocarbons, amines, amides and esters with 3,...

Abstract The growing global economy resulted in an incessant increase transportation and exploitation of oil. Hence, the oil spillage has been considered a serious threat to aquatic terrestrial ecosystems. Therefore, water purification major challenge around world. There are numerous classical methods available for removal from water, but owing multiple defects disadvantages, research efforts h...

Polycrystalline particles composed of triacylglycerol (TAG) molecules, and their networks, in anhydrous TAG oils find extensive use as edible oils in the food industry. Although modelling studies of TAG systems, have been carried out, none have attempted to address a problem of central concern to food science and technology: the "oil binding capacity" of a system of such edible oils. Crystallin...

1. The absorption of fluid from the joint cavity was studied by measurement of the flow of Ringer solution or paraffin oil, from an infusion reservoir, into rabbit knee joints at constant pressures between 0 and 25 cm water. 2. Although no oil was absorbed across the synovium, oil flowed continuously into the joint cavity at constant intra-articular pressure. It was concluded that the joint cap...

Orange peel and pulp were analyzed for their proximate composition, water and oil holding capacity. Data showed that, orange peel and pulp had high amount of dietary fiber (74.87 and 70.64%, respectively) with high proportion of IDF, also it has high level of water and oil holding capacity. Biscuits prepared from blendes containing different proportion (0,5,15 and 25%) orange peel or pulp were ...
