Abstract

Two stage complexation processes, i.e., covalent conjugation followed by complex coacervation processes were used to improve functional properties of Spirulina protein. Conjugates of Spirulina protein concentrate (SPC)-maltodextrin (MD) were produced via wet-route Maillard reaction and they were coacervated with carrageenan (CG). The complex coacervates of mixture of unconjugated SPC and MD with CG was used as benchmark. (SPC-MD conjugate)-CG coacervate and (SPC-MD mixture)-CG coacervate were used as shell material to encapsulate oxidation sensitive canola oil. The optimum conditions for the complex coacervation were found at pH 3.0 and ratio of conjugate- or mixture-to-CG ratio of 24:1 (w/w). Spray-dried microcapsules of canola oil produced using (SPC-MD conjugate)-CG coacervates exhibited lower surface oil content (1.52%), higher encapsulation efficiency (92.5%), and smaller particle size (D50=7.66 µm) compared to those produced using mixture-based coacervates as shell materials. The microcapsules produced using conjugate-based coacervates as shell material showed improved oxidative stability. These findings suggests that the Maillard reaction induced conjugate of SPC and its complex coacervates can be promising encapsulating shell materials for oxidation sensitive oils.

Abstract

Spirulina protein concentrate (SPC) was extracted from Spirulina biomass and its structure and technofunctional properties were modified through Maillard reaction with maltodextrin (MD). Wet-heating route was adapted and Maillard reaction was controlled within initial to intermediate stage by avoiding or minimising the formation of melanoidins. A glycation degree of up to 29.1 % was achieved after reaction between SPC and MD, and molecular weight of the SPC increased accordingly. The solubility of SPC was improved only in the pH range around its isoelectric point after conjugation. The antioxidative property of the SPC-MD conjugate was also improved as the DPPH radical scavenging activity increased 19.7 to 30.2 %. Oil-in-water emulsion stabilised by SPC-MD conjugate produced at 6 h had significantly reduced droplet size, increased surface charge, and higher physical stability in temperature range 25-60 °C. The outcome of this research will help broaden the application of SPC in food as emulsifier and encapsulating shell material.

Abstract

The effects of different growth regimes on gluconasturtiin concentration in watercress (Nasturtium officinale R. Br.) were investigated. Watercress plantlets at the 5th mature leaf stage (ca. 2 weeks old) were exposed to different day and night temperatures, to long (16 h) or short (8 h) days, to red (R) or far-red (FR) light given during the main long day photoperiod, and finally to R or FR light given at the end of the main photoperiod. Watercress plants grown under long days contained a 30-40% higher gluconasturtiin concentration and had a higher fresh weight than watercress plants grown under short days. Watercress plants grown under long days and temperatures of 15 or 10 degrees C had at least a 50% higher gluconasturtiin concentration, but a lower fresh weight, than that of plants grown at 20 or 25 degrees C. Watercress plants grown under metal halide light enriched with R light had approximately a 25-40% higher concentration of gluconasturtiin as compared to the FR-enriched plants. Likewise, a brief R light exposure at the end of the main photoperiod resulted in approximately a 25% or higher concentration of gluconasturtiin as compared to a FR end-of-day exposure. These data indicate that the concentration of gluconasturtiin in watercress can be significantly increased by growing plants at lower temperatures, under long days, and by exposure to R light.

11. Internet Babylon : Secrets, Scandals, and Shocks on the Information Superhighway

Abstract

This book looks at the Internet from a sordid and entertaining perspective. The line between truth and fiction is blurred on the'net, just as it is in Hollywood, and so are the scandals involving well-known movie and TV personalities, politicians, and the Internet's own brand of celebrities. The battle between illusion and reality is every bit as intense on the Internet as on the celluloid screen. Going beyond sites that glorify the seamier side to life, Internet Babylon is a guide to the unique sites that appeal to selective sensibilities. Internet Babylon gives you the ability to live vicariously through and be a participant in extraordinary, even strange, goings-on that you might never otherwise encounter in your day-to-day life. You'll not only find entertaining and titillating stories that define the rough and wild side of a major force in society that's still developing, but you'll also discover the tools you need to be on top of breaking stories and find the news that's not fit to print.

Abstract

Irradiation of the small intestine can result in depletion of the epithelial stem cell compartment and is often the dose-limiting factor for radiotherapeutic treatment of tumors in the abdominal and pelvic region. Since mitotic cells are most sensitive to radiation, significant radioprotection can be achieved by reducing the number of cells in mitosis at the time of irradiation. We have previously shown that administration of macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP) -1α induces a transient 50% reduction in the number of mitotic cells in small intestinal crypts, including the stem cell region, and therefore, MIP-1α pretreatment before radiation exposure could result in a substantial reduction of the side effects associated with radiotherapy. Groups of adult mice were exposed to different doses of radiation (6, 8, 10, or 12 Gy), with or without prior administration of 200 μg BB-10010/kg 3 hr before irradiation and radiation damage was assessed by means of the microcolony survival assay. MIP-1α pretreatment resulted in significantly increased numbers of surviving crypts (10%) when compared to untreated irradiated animals. The observed radioprotective effects of MIP-1α in the small intestine should translate into reduced side effects in a clinically relevant radiotherapy context and could allow larger doses of radiation to be delivered to patients with tumors in the abdominal or pelvic region.

Consider the many stories and legends of the Wild West. The good guys such as Wyatt Earp get our admiration. But it’s the bad guys, the Jesse Jameses and Billy the Kids, who really attract a morbid fascination and who are admired by many. Even in more recent films and books, we love the people who break the rules and use technology to accomplish things that “mere mortals” such as us cannot do—think about Mission: Impossible, Spy Kids, and the Terminator series of movies.

Abstract

Everyone loves a mystery. When the mystery either occurs or is explored online, it assumes new proportions. For one thing, there is almost no limit to the amount of time you can spend trying to unravel a mystery. The information you can research online is there all of the time, day or night, for years. For another, trying to solve a mystery on the Internet is more private than going to a library. You are in control of what you want to look for and how many bits information—or “clues”—you want to absorb at any one time. You can do it without your spouse looking over your shoulder, which means you can choose the venues where you want to hunt.

Abstract

The Bill Clinton-M onica Lewinsky scandal that erupted during Clinton’s second term as president was one of the first big scandals to be fueled by the Internet. Every day, it seemed, there was a new revelation about what someone said or did. It’s the speed with which rumors fly; it’s also the way someone’s character can be tainted quickly and so severely. With JFK, everyone around the president apparently knew what he was doing in his private life, but it didn’t get out of that inner circle. Now, we all are in the inner circle, thanks to the Internet.

For the Northwest Native Americans, totem poles were a sort of Web site carved in wood, with layers of symbols stacked atop one another. The ancient Egyptians built pyramids and other monuments that had visual “hyperlinks” that provided details about their gods, members of their royal families, or events in their past.

Abstract

The process of buying or selling something online—in other words, the process known as e-commerce—is a totally different proposition than in the “real” world. In the real world, you can squeeze that rubber ducky to see if it squeaks or issues the sound of a “raspberry.” You can see if your merchant is sporting “warning signs” of untrustworthiness such as a pound of gold chains, a Nazi helmet, or a used prison uniform. You can then act on such indicators. If you are a seller, you can see someone sign his or her charge card, and you can match the blemishes on the buyer’s face with the mug on the ID card in front of you to make sure they are the same, more or less.
