Studies On Antifreezing Of Silver Carp Enzymatic-Hydrolysates In Frozen Surimi, LI Xianghong, LIU Zhongxiang, DENG Haiping, LIU Yongle, YU Jian, WANG Faxiang, WANG Jianhui 2015 Department of Food and Biological Engineering, Changsha University of Science and Technology, Changsha, Hunan 410114, China

Studies On Antifreezing Of Silver Carp Enzymatic-Hydrolysates In Frozen Surimi, Li Xianghong, Liu Zhongxiang, Deng Haiping, Liu Yongle, Yu Jian, Wang Faxiang, Wang Jianhui

Food and Machinery

The application of silver carp enzymatic-hydrolysates (Protamex hydrolysates, PH and Alcalase hydrolysates, AH) in frozen surimi was studied, with an untreated mince (CTRL) and the effects of sucrose–sorbitol on the frozen surimi as the comparison. Amino acid composition and amino acid nitrogen analysis showed that PH had higher contents of Asp, Lys and free amino acids (P<0.05). Relative molecular weight distribution results indicated that PH had more fractions of high molecular weights. Textural analysis of frozen surimi demonstrated that after 4 weeks frozen, gel strength and hardness of 2% PH and sucrose-sorbitol added group increased. Elasticity of all the samples was slightly lower. And under the frozen condition, all samples’ color was less affected. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) results displayed that protein aggregation of 2% PH and sucrose-sorbitol added groups were less, and the microstructures were less porous and more homogeneous. The surfaces of CTRL and 8% AH added groups showed obvious holes. This study indicates that PH can help to maintain quality of frozen surimi, and provides preliminary evidence for development of a possible new generation cryoprotectans using silver carp hydrolysates.


Quality And Storage Stability Of High Hydrostatic Pressure-Treated Squid, JIN Yafang, DENG Yun 2015 Department of Food Science and Technology, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai 200240, China

Quality And Storage Stability Of High Hydrostatic Pressure-Treated Squid, Jin Yafang, Deng Yun

Food and Machinery

Effects of high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) treatments on the quality and shelf life of squid were studied. Squid muscles were high-pressure processed at pressure levels of 200, 400, 600 MPa for 5, 10, 20 minutes (25 ℃). Then the treated samples were stored at 4 ℃ for 10 days. The effects of HHP on biochemical, pH and microbiological characteristics were analyzed. The results showed that HHP retained the moisture, protein and fat contents of fresh squid. And no significant changes were observed in pH after processing. HHP resulted in significant reductions (P<0.05) in microorganisms. The total viable counts (TVC) decreased …


Ultrasonic-Assisted Extracting And Antioxidant Activity Of Total Flavonoids From Leaves Of Camellia Oleifera Abel, CAO Qingming, WU Jingyu, ZHONG Haiyan, BAO Liyuan, SUN Yajuan 2015 Faculty of Food Science and Engineering, Central South University of Forestry and Technology, Changsha, Hunan 410004, China; Key Laboratory of Cultivation and Protection for Non-Wood Forest Trees, Ministry of Education, Changsha, Hunan 410004, China

Ultrasonic-Assisted Extracting And Antioxidant Activity Of Total Flavonoids From Leaves Of Camellia Oleifera Abel, Cao Qingming, Wu Jingyu, Zhong Haiyan, Bao Liyuan, Sun Yajuan

Food and Machinery

Technology of ultrasonic-assisted method was optimized to extract flavonoids from leaves of camellia oleifera Abel, and antioxidant activity of flavonoids was investigated. It showed that the optimized conditions were 50% ethanol of extracting solvent, 1∶20 of material-liquid ratio(m︰V), 70 ℃ of extracting temperature, 2 times under 300 W of electric power, 30 min of ultrasonic treatment time , The optimized extraction yield of total flavonoids was 47.01 mg RE/g. The extraction of flavonoids from leaves of Camellia Oleifera Abel. showed strong free- radical scavenging activities of DPPH, ABTS and hydroxyl with 15.12, 21.15 and 410 μg RE/mL as IC50, respectively.


Process Optimization Of High-Density Candida Utilis Feed Yeasts By Solid State Fermentation, XU Su, SUN Libin, YANG Haiming, SUN Hui, JIANG Lianzhou 2015 Food College, Northeast Agricultural University, Harbin, Heilongjiang 150030, China

Process Optimization Of High-Density Candida Utilis Feed Yeasts By Solid State Fermentation, Xu Su, Sun Libin, Yang Haiming, Sun Hui, Jiang Lianzhou

Food and Machinery

Probiotic feed yeasts were made from the raw materials of defatted soy meal, rice hull and corn straw by solid state fermentation. The culture medium ingredients were optimized by the orthogonal experiment. The model of fermentative condition was developed by the simplex-centrioid mixture design and analyzed by the response surface analysis.The results were as follows: defatted soymeal∶rice hull∶corn straw was in the ratio 5∶2∶2. Forty grams of the raw materials were added with 4 grams of glucose,0.2 grams of (NH4)2SO4 and 1× mono-microelement combination. The inoculum volum was 3.5%. The culture thickness was 1.3 cm. …


Optimization On Decolorizing Conditions For Perilla Leaf Polysaccharide (Ⅱ) By Active Charcoal, ZHANG Lihong, XIE Sandu, XU Fang, LIN Xiaoyan, GAO Ning 2015 Zhangzhou Institute of Technology, Zhangzhou, Fujian 363000, China

Optimization On Decolorizing Conditions For Perilla Leaf Polysaccharide (Ⅱ) By Active Charcoal, Zhang Lihong, Xie Sandu, Xu Fang, Lin Xiaoyan, Gao Ning

Food and Machinery

A high-efficiency and low-loss method was established, for decoloration of perilla leaf polysaccharide by using active charcoal. With the decoloration method of activated charcoal, the decoloration process of perilla leaf polysaccharide was optimized by using response surface methodology. The best processing conditions was determined as 0.58% activated carbon, pH 6.0, and decolorization temperature 50 ℃, decolorization time 15 min. Under those conditions, the decolorizing rate and the loss rate of polysaccharide reached 99.99% and 5.05%, respectively. The results suggested that the proposed method had ideal effect in decoloration of perilla leaf polysaccharide.


Food Safety Problems In Food Logistics And Related Measures, ZENG Yuying 2015 Chong Qing City Management College, Chongqing 401331, China

Food Safety Problems In Food Logistics And Related Measures, Zeng Yuying

Food and Machinery

Food safety and people's life and health are closely related, its importance is self-evident. The problem of food safety in food logistics mainly in several cases includes food spoilage, chemical pollution and breakage of packing and food expiring. The reasons for these food safety problems are many and varied, not only the logistics industry itself is inefficient, too many intermediate links, technology and self-discipline ability, lack of infrastructure investment, but also the unperfect legal system, the supervision in relevant departments. Therefore, the corresponding countermeasures should be found from two aspects in national and food logistics operator. National level can improve …

This document describes the history of the Steamboat Conference. The Steamboat Conference is an annual collaboration between Pinot Noir winemakers from Oregon and California. Eugene chef Del Pearl, Sunriver sommelier Rick Denton, California winemaker Jim Olsen, and Stephen Cary came up with the idea for the gathering and sharing of knowledge in the fall of 1979. Originally the plan was to alternate locations for the conference between Oregon and California, but after the first four years they decided the Steamboat Inn in Oregon's Umpqua Valley was the best location, and the conference has remained there since. In the last 28 …
