The Influence Of Thermal Treatment On Grass Carp Quality And Volatile Flavor Compounds, Chen Hui, Liu Yan, Li Zhipeng, Huang Lihui

Food and Machinery

The changes of quality, protein composition and volatile flavor compounds of grass carp were studied at 60, 70, 80, 90 and 100 ℃, shape, texture, nutritional value and flavor were set as the evaluation indexes. The results showed that the weight loss rate of fish increased with the treatment temperature, and the L* value of fish increased, but the a* value decreased. The hardness, cohesion, amino acid content, E/N ratio showed an upward trend. 87 types of volatile compounds were detected by SPME-GC-MS, including 24 kinds of alkanes, 19 kinds of aldehydes, 14 kinds of acids, 12 kinds …

Study On Isolation And Application Of Lactic Acid Bacteria Without Biogenic Amine Formation From Chinese Rice Wine, Xu Jianfen, Mao Jieqi, Wei Xiaolu, Liu Shuangping

Food and Machinery

In order to screen the strains without producing biogenic amines, some microorganisms were isolated from the fermentation mash and rice soaking water of Chinese rice wine. It was found that three strains had no amino acid decarboxylase activity, and had a certain ability of biogenic amines degradation. Moreover, the metabolic characteristics of the three strains were analyzed. The results showed that OD600 of the three strains reached a considerable level in the culture medium of 2.50%Vol. In the 8.80%Vol culture medium, strains 5-4 and 8-3 were inhibited whose OD600 was significantly lower than that of strain 14-2-1.

Effects Of Controlled Freezing Point Technology Combined With The Modified Humidity Packaging On Preservation For Toona Sinensis, Yang Hui, Mao Weilin, Zhao Shouhuan, Zhao Hongyuan, Zhang Le, Shi Guanying, Wang Xiaomin, Wang Zhaogai

Food and Machinery

Toona sinensis sprouts were packaged in 0.06 mm thick perforated PE bags and stored at -0.5 ℃(controlled freezing point) after pre-cooling at 4 ℃ for 12 h. In order to investigate the effects of controlled freezing point technology combined with the modified humidity packaging on preservation for Toona sinensis, the changes of weight losses rate, ascorbic acid, soluble protein, chlorophyll, total polyphenol, flavonoid, soluble sugar, malondialdehyde (MDA) content and polyphenol oxidase (PPO)activities were measured. The results indicated that the proper perforation area of PE bags stored at -0.5 ℃ was 141.3 mm2 (0.14% of total area), which decreased the …

Cattle As Technological Interventions: The Gender Effects Of Water Demand In Dairy Production In Uganda, Elizabeth Ransom, Carmen Bain, Harleen Bal, Natasha Shannon 2017 University of Richmond

Cattle As Technological Interventions: The Gender Effects Of Water Demand In Dairy Production In Uganda, Elizabeth Ransom, Carmen Bain, Harleen Bal, Natasha Shannon

Sociology and Anthropology Faculty Publications

Smallholder dairy production dominates the country of Uganda, with over 90% of the national herd owned by smallholders. To reduce hunger, malnutrition, and raise families out of poverty agricultural development, interventions in Uganda have focused on increasing milk production through the introduction of improved dairy cow breeds. Development actors, such as the East Africa Dairy Development (EADD) program in Uganda, see crossbreed dairy cows as a key technological intervention for improving production. Drawing on a multi-method study (spatial analysis, surveys, and qualitative interviews) of dairy smallholders, our paper examines the gendered effects of the introduction of crossbreed dairy cows.

The Gmo/Ge Debate, Joanna K. Sax 2017 Texas A&M University School of Law

The Gmo/Ge Debate, Joanna K. Sax

Texas A&M Law Review

We live longer and healthier lives because advances in science create easier and better ways to sustain and survive. Society has an intricate relationship with biotechnology. Vaccines save lives. Fluoridated water decreases dental issues. Antibiotics treat bacterial infections. Nuclear power is a form of clean energy. With any emerging technology, the benefits do not exist in a vacuum, thus, negative consequences result as well. Our widespread uses of antibiotics are creating antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria. Our research into nuclear energy also facilitated the creation of nuclear bombs. Perhaps it is human nature to use scientific advances for good and for …
