Hydrophobic Probe Binding Of Β-Lactoglobulin In The Native And Molten Globule State Induced By High Pressure As Affected By Ph, Kio3 And N-Ethylmaleimide, Jian Yang, Joseph R. Powers, Stephanie Clark, A. Keith Dunker, Barry G. Swanson Aug 2002

Hydrophobic Probe Binding Of Β-Lactoglobulin In The Native And Molten Globule State Induced By High Pressure As Affected By Ph, Kio3 And N-Ethylmaleimide, Jian Yang, Joseph R. Powers, Stephanie Clark, A. Keith Dunker, Barry G. Swanson

High hydrostatic pressure (HHP) at 500 MPa and 50 °C induces β-LG into the molten globule state. Retinol, cis-parinaric acid (CPA), and 1-anilino-naphthalene-8-sulfonate (ANS) fluorescence from pH 2.5 to 10.5 in the presence of the native and molten globule states of β-LG indicate that retinol binds to β-LG in the calyx, CPA at the surface hydrophobic site, and ANS in multiple hydrophobic sites. HHP treatment results in a decrease of β-LG affinity for retinol and CPA, suggesting conformational changes in the calyx and surface hydrophobic site of β-LG during HHP treatment. β-LG treated by HHP in the presence of N-ethylmaleimide …

Background. A large proportion of resources allocated to the Community-Based Nutrition Programme (CBNP) of the Department of Health in the Western Cape is spent on crèche-feeding schemes. To date, little evaluation of the CBNP has been undertaken. Aim. A cross-sectional study was conducted to assess the nutritional adequacy of meals provided, and facilities available, at state-funded crèches in the Cape Metropole. Methods. A questionnaire was administered to managers of 43 conveniently sampled crèches in two districts of Cape Town. Twenty-two of the crèches were randomly selected for nutrient assessment of a duplicate meal, and a typical meal sample was weighed …

Factors Related To Success And Satisfaction In Online Learning, Patricia A. Beffa-Negrini, Brian Miller, Dr. Nancy L. Cohen Dec 2001

Factors Related To Success And Satisfaction In Online Learning, Patricia A. Beffa-Negrini, Brian Miller, Dr. Nancy L. Cohen

We investigated factors that may relate to positive outcomes in a web-based introductory nutrition course: age, gender, prior nutrition knowledge, nutrition attitude, attitude toward technology, satisfaction with the instructor, and satisfaction with peer interaction. Fifty-four students completed pre-post surveys of knowledge, altitudes, and course satisfaction. When adjusted for multiple variables, satisfaction with the instructor and prior nutrition knowledge related to achievement in nutrition knowledge from pre- to posttest. Age, satisfaction with the instructor, and prior nutrition knowledge predicted course grade. Satisfaction with the instructor and satisfaction with peer interaction related to self-reported learning. Satisfaction with peer interaction, satisfaction with the …
