Food and Machinery

The effect of hydroxypropyl distarch phosphate(HPDSP)on retrogradation and storage cooking quality properties of rice noodles was investigated. Fresh instant rice noodles was prepared under weight ratio of HPDSP to rice flour (RF) at 0.0%, 5.0%, 7.5%, 10.0%, and 15.0%, respectively, then the long-term retrogradation, breaking rate and cooking loss of noodles were determined. The results showed that, HPDSP could significantly decrease characteristic peak intensity of starch retrogradation and the degree of crystallinity, reduced retrogradation enthalpy, therefore inhibit rice noodles retrogradation. In addition, the inhibition effect enhanced with HPDSP contents. Microstructure showed that rice noodles containing HPDSP exhibited a porous honeycomb …

Stability Of “Shell-Core” Micelles Formed By Amphiphilic Polysaccharides, Xiang Zhuoya, Zhao Guohua, Ye Fayin, Lv Xia

Food and Machinery

In recent years, the amphiphilic polysaccharide as the carrier of lipophilic components has become a research hotspot in food science. In the aqueous system, the soluble amphiphilic polysaccharide can self-aggregate to form the shell-core structure with the hydrophobic moieties forming the core of the micelle and the hydrophilic moieties forming the corona. The structural characteristic is the basis of the function of the micelle. Therefore, it is very important for practical application to maintain or stabilize the structure of the micelle. In this review, it describes the amphiphilic polysaccharide micelle stability, inter-molecular force, influence factors (structural factors and environmental factors) …

Food Safety Education In America And Its Enlightenment To China, Cao Xu

Food and Machinery

Food safety education in America implements universal education, which not only has a perfect legal basis, but also has multiple supporting systems for protection. According to the different subjects, it implements stratified education and its administration responsibility is clear, which has a strong characteristic of vocational education. Food safety education in the United States has the characteristics of flexible education, wide range of education and strong pertinence. Due to the lack of clear legal basis, Chinese food safety education has such problems as responsibility boundary ambiguity. In the temporary implementation, food safety education system is not enough, which results to …

Approaches To Construction Of Food Safety Education Mechanism, Zhu Yu

Food and Machinery

In recent years, food safety incidents happened frequently, and food safety issues have become the focus of the whole society. By focusing on the education of food safety, to carry out a series of publicity about food safety would cultivate consciousness of food safety and social responsibility in public. This may relieve or even avoid food safety malignant events in some degree. We suggested strongly constructing the food safety education mechanism in our country as follows. The government should dominate the food safety education system in accordance with the law, and the public participation help to promote enterprise self-discipline. Moreover, …

Surface Waters: Ammonium Is Not Ammonia – Part 3, John E. Sawyer, Matthew J. Helmers

John E. Sawyer

Two previous ICM News articles outlined the difference between ammonium and ammonia, the relationship between the two nitrogen forms, and the implication of a combined (ammonium-N plus ammonia-N) analysis related to water quality criteria for aquatic life and chlorination treatment for drinking water.This article focuses on the potential sourcing of ammonium and ammonia in surface waters. Ammonium and ammonia in surface water systems can originate from many sources, and are naturally occurring forms of nitrogen. Predominant sources will vary on a watershed or sub-watershed basis. Also, sources and concentrations are greatly influenced by hydrology, including timing and volume of water …


Sulfur Fertilizer Application To Corn And Soybean, John E. Sawyer, Daniel W. Barker 2016 Iowa State University

Sulfur Fertilizer Application To Corn And Soybean, John E. Sawyer, Daniel W. Barker

John E. Sawyer

Historically sulfur (S) application has not been recommended on Iowa soils for corn and soybean production. The soil supply or combination from sources such as manure or precipitation has met crop S needs. However, soil S levels or supply will become depleted with prolonged crop removal, sulfate leaching, low precipitation deposition, and declining soil organic matter. The objective of this study was to determine the responsiveness of corn and soybean to S application (first year and residual second year) and S fertilizer material at multiple sites across Iowa soils and climatic conditions.
