The result of polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis confirmed that the subunits structure of collagen using the ultrasonic irradiation was mainly of α1, α2 and β, without subunit degradation. Moreover, the ultraviolet spectrum exhibited a typical absorption peak at 217 nm, indicating that it greatly maintained the characteristics of type I collagen. Additionally, …

Optimization On Extrusion Process Ofaloe-Maize Blend By Linear Interpolation Method, Wei Hongyu, Luo Shaoming, Zhu Lixue, Zhou Yumei

Food and Machinery

Aiming at the problem of low efficiency of by-product in aloe processing, the aloe leaves were dried，crushed and mixed with maize flour, and then were extruded to make aloe-maize health food. Single factor and five factors four levels orthogonal test were used to study the influence of process parameters on characteristics of the extruded products. Linear interpolation method was used to evaluate the products characteristics, and the process parameters were optimized: the feeding rate is 30 r/min, the screw speed is 115 r/min, the water content is 14%, the aloe content is 4% and the extrusion temperature is 150 ℃

Effect Of Phytosanitary Irradiation On The Quality Of Two Varieties Of Pummelos (Citrus Maxima (Burm.) Merr.), A. Jain, J. Ornelas-Paz, D. Obenland, K. Rodriguez (Friscia), Anuradha Prakash

Food Science Faculty Articles and Research

Phytosanitary treatments prevent the introduction of pests such as fruit flies into pest free zones, and are often required for international trade. Irradiation is increasingly being considered as an alternative to cold and chemical phytosanitary treatments, such as methyl bromide. In this study, the effect of low dose gamma irradiation on the post-harvest quality of two varieties of pummelos (Citrus maxima (Burm.) Merr.), an emerging crop of interest in the US was evaluated. Two varieties of pummelos grown in California were irradiated at the phytosanitary target dose of 150 Gy and a higher dose of 1000 Gy to exaggerate …

Lay Health Epistemics And Motivated Information Behaviors Of New Food Technology, Soojin Kim, Jeong-Nam Kim, Soo-Yun Kim

Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business

This study examines relationships among health information orientation, situational perceptual frames, and active information behaviors pertinent to the safety controversy of genetically-modified (GM) food technology. A web survey was conducted in the US (N = 393). Based on our findings, an integrative model of Kim and Grunig’s (2011) Situational Theory of Problem Solving (STOPS) and Dutta-Bergman’s (2004) concept of health information orientation is suggested to explain lay health epistemics and various information behaviors about that new food technology. The study’s theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

The In Vivo Effect Of Oil Palm Phenolics (Opp) In Atherogenic Diet Induced Rats Model Of Alzheimer’S Disease (Ad), Yan Wu

Wayne State University Dissertations

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia in the aging population. It is characterized by cognitive decline and deposition of ß-amyloid plaques in the hippocampus. It has been shown that hypercholesterolemia induced by high cholesterol diet is associated with AD development. Increased level of oxidative stress has also been observed in AD patients. An important strategy to treat or delay the impairment is based on dietary modification, using food supplements. OPP, a water soluble fraction from oil palm fruit, rich in phenolics has been found to possess significant antioxidant activities. Its beneficial effects on cardiovascular diseases, diabetes …
