Abstract

Protein-free cress seed gum (PFCSG) was obtained by precipitation of crude cress seed gum (CSG) with ethanol followed by treatment with protease. Molecular weight, moisture, ash and uronic acids content decreased after elimination of protein. Elimination of protein improved significantly rheological properties and thermal stability of cress seed gum. Mechanical spectra of the CSG and PFCSG were classified as weak gels and PFCSG showed stronger and more elastic network structure. The gum dispersions exhibited strong shear-thinning behavior which was described satisfactory by the Herschel-Bulkley and Moore models. Protein-free cress seed gum had higher apparent and intrinsic viscosities than the crude gum. CSG indicated lower hysteresis loop area, but degree of structural recovery of the samples showed no significant difference. The main decomposition of PFCSG started above 213°C with two peaks (at 261.72°C and 306.58°C) and initial decomposition temperature of CSG was 190.21°C with one peak at 258.28°C. DSC results coincided with those observed by thermogravimetric analysis. Enzyme treatment lowered the surface activity of CSG., (Copyright © 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.)

Subjects
*ACETOBACTER, *MICROORGANISMS, *ORGANIC acids analysis, *SUGAR analysis, *CHEMICAL alcohol analysis
Abstract

Acetic acid bacteria are a group of microorganisms able to achieve oxidation reactions from sugars and alcohols mainly producing organic acids, aldehydes and ketones. When the substrate is ethanol, acetic acid is produced, thus giving the common name acetic acid bacteria to this bacterial group. Acetic acid bacteria are of considerable importance in food and beverages as beneficial or detrimental bacteria. Nowadays, they play a role as biocatalysts contributing to more eco-friendly bio-based processes, since the production of important industrial molecules generate high environmental impact when chemically synthesized. Although they have a high biotechnological potential, their use at industrial scale is still restricted. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

A major barrier to the commercialization of somatic embryogenesis technology in loblolly pine (LP, Pinus taeda L.) is recalcitrance of some high-value crosses to initiate embryogenic tissue and to continue early-stage somatic embryo growth. Developing initiation and multiplication media that resemble the seed environment may decrease this recalcitrance. Sugar and sugar alcohol analyses were performed weekly throughout the sequence of seed development for female gametophyte and zygotic embryo tissues to determine physiologic concentrations (Pullman, G.S. and M. Buchanan. 2008. Identification and quantitative analysis of stage-specific carbohydrates in LP (Pinus taeda) zygotic embryo and female gametophyte tissues. Tree Physiol. 28:985–996). Major differences in stage-specific sugars were observed. A simple bioassay was used to evaluate the potential growth promotion of individual carbohydrates added to initiation or multiplication media at physiologic concentrations. Seventeen sugars were screened. Compounds showing statistically significant increases in early-stage embryo growth were then tested for the ability to increase the initiation of LP. <$O_SCPLOW>D<$C_SCPLOW>-xylose and <$O_SCPLOW>D<$C_SCPLOW>-chiro-inositol produced statistically significant increases in early-stage embryo growth. When tested for improved initiation in P. taeda, Pseudotsuga menziesii (mirb) Franco and Picea abies L., Karst., <$O_SCPLOW>D<$C_SCPLOW>-xylose increased the averages of initiation by 6.5%, 7.3% and 16.7%, respectively. <$O_SCPLOW>D<$C_SCPLOW>-chiro-inositol increased the initiation in P. taeda by 7.3% in one test but not in the other, whereas in P. menziesii the initiation increases averaged 8.4% in two tests. Analyses of sugars and sugar alcohols in the seed environment coupled with a bioassay to screen potential media supplements for protocol improvement resulted in statistically significant increases in embryogenic tissue initiation for several coniferous species.

Abstract

In an effort to comprehensively study the wood property variation in juvenile wood, compression wood, and mature wood, and also to provide a rapid and cost-effective assessment tool to screening the wood chemical property variation, several loblolly pines (Pinus tadea), and transmittance near infrared spectroscopy were utilized in this study. The method development results show that a successful screening of wood chemical property variation, such as lignin and α-cellulose contents, could be adapted using stacked wood wafers microtomed from increment cores and combining with transmittance near infrared spectroscopy. The morphological, chemical, and metabolic analyses of juvenile wood and compression wood show that although compression wood and juvenile wood share some properties, they are actually distinct in their chemistry during development and in final wood chemistry and anatomy. The within tree variation analyses also show that juvenile wood from the top of the tree and that from the base of the tree are more different in morphological structures than in chemical structures. A similar pattern was found between juvenile wood and mature wood. The results obtained suggest that the within tree compression wood percentage and the fiber quality differences inherent in juvenile wood appear to have a greater influence on the final wood products.

Abstract

The article discusses a study on the physical properties of co-crystalline sugar and honey. Clear and partially granulated honeys were co-crystallized with sucrose in three proportions, namely, 90:10, 85:15 and 80:20, The products obtained were found to contain between 1% and 2% honey. The moisture content of the products increased with the amount of honey added but their powder flowability decreased. A decrease in overall crystallinity was noted with an increase in the amount of honey added.

Abstract

This article reports on sugar fluoridation as an alternative to practices of water fluoridation. The article examined the fluoride contents of sugar products, including white and brown sugar, noting that their fluoride contents varied according to manufacturers. It was found the levels of fluoride in brown sugar were higher than previously reported levels, but that due to its relatively low consumption its effects are minor. The article also discusses sugar refining, marketing, and consumption in Australia and the use of its fluoridated reticulated water supply.

Abstract

People with Type 2 diabetes are often advised to use blood-glucose test strips to monitor their blood sugar levels, but a Canadian analysis has found that routine self-monitoring is not cost-effective for many patients: the strips can cost almost a dollar each, and they prevent comparatively few complications of diabetes. The finding was part of an analysis that prompted the Canadian Agency for Drugs and Technologies in Health to issue a nonbinding recommendation against routine self-monitoring for many Type 2 diabetics -- those who do not take insulin.
