Rapid preparation of protein powder from high-moisture tuna liver: New insight into subcritical dimethyl ether
Publication date: Available online 17 February 2020Source: LWTAuthor(s): Yizhou Fang, Jianhua Liu, Junhui Li, Wenwei Chen, Guangrong Huang, Yuting DingAbstractThe subcritical dimethyl ether extraction (SDEE) was applied in the preparation of liver protein powder (LPD) in this paper. As expected, the lipids and water in tuna liver were co-removed by SDEE, and LPD with a high protein content could be obtained. Besides that, the maximal protein content (88.51%) of LPD was obtained by optimized extraction conditions (liquid-solid ratio 34 mL/g, time 70 min and stirring speed 945 rpm).Furthermore, the traditional preparat...

Water Activity Influence on the Thermal Resistance of Salmonella in Soy Protein Powder at Elevated Temperatures
Publication date: Available online 11 February 2020Source: Food ControlAuthor(s): Yuqiao Jin, Juming Tang, Mei-Jun ZhuAbstractSalmonella is a leading cause of foodborne illness associated with low-moisture foods. In addition to being able to survive in low-moisture environments during long storage, Salmonella has shown sharply increased thermal tolerance making it difficult to control in low-moisture foods. This research utilized soy protein powder as a food career to study the thermal resistance of Salmonella under a wide range of temperatures and aw. Salmonella inoculated soy protein powder samples were pre-equilibrated ...

Formation of Protein Sub-Visible Particles during Powder Grinding of a Monoclonal Antibody.
Abstract We have observed an interesting phenomenon in which grinding of freeze-dried monoclonal antibody X (mAb-X) formulation powder resulted to significant protein sub-visible particles (SbVPs) in the reconstituted liquid, which could only be observed by sensitive particle analytical methods such as MFI and DLS. Effects of grinding temperature and the free radical scavengers methionine and 3-carbamoyl-2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-1-pyrrolidin-yloxy free radical (CTPO) on the formation of SbVPs were also evaluated. Free radicals were observed by EPR and the amount of free radicals was correlated to the sample tem...

Structural and Functional Properties of Hydrolyzed/Glycosylated Ovalbumin under Spray Drying and Microwave Freeze Drying
Publication date: Available online 25 January 2020Source: Food Science and Human WellnessAuthor(s): Lili Liu, Xiaoning Dai, Huaibin Kang, Yunfeng Xu, Weiming HaoAbstractOvalbumin (OVA), the main protein in egg white, affects most of the functional properties of egg white protein in food processing. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of spray drying (SD) and microwave freeze drying (MFD) on the preparation of hydrolyzed/glycosylated ovalbumin (HGOVA) and provide useful information on the applications of egg protein powders in the food industry. Results demonstrated that the structure of HGOVA was considera...

Gelation of faba bean proteins - Effect of extraction method, pH and NaCl
Publication date: Available online 28 December 2019Source: Food HydrocolloidsAuthor(s): Maud Langton, Sohail Ehsanzamir, Saeid Karkehabadi, Xinmei Feng, Monika Johansson, Daniel P. JohanssonAbstractThe effect of extraction method, pH and NaCl addition on rheological properties and microstructure of heat-induced faba bean protein gels was evaluated. Gels formed at pH 7 (no NaCl) of alkaline-extracted protein had the densest and finest network structure and highest stress and strain at fracture. The high density of nodes and small pores in the protein network could contribute to those mechanical properties. In contrast, stor...

Apparent density of compressible food powders under storage conditions
Publication date: Available online 27 December 2019Source: Journal of Food EngineeringAuthor(s): C. LanzerstorferAbstractThe stress-dependence of the apparent density and the wall friction angle of various food powders like salt, sugar, flour, starch and protein powders were studied using a ring shear tester. The approximation of the stress-dependence of the apparent density using a power function showed a very good correlation (r2>0.97). The two parameters of the approximation function are the apparent density at 1.0 kPa and the exponent, which characterizes the compressibility of the powder. The first correlates very wel...

Impact of microwave assisted phosphorylation on the physicochemistry and rehydration behaviour of egg white powder
Publication date: Available online 12 September 2019Source: Food HydrocolloidsAuthor(s): Peishan Li, Yongguo Jin, Long ShengAbstractThree egg white protein powders under different treatments (untreated, microwave-alone treated and microwave-assisted phosphorylation modification) were prepared and their physicochemistry and rehydration behavior were investigated in this study. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and physical property measurements showed that the particle size and specific surface area decreased and increased, respectively, in phosphorylated egg white protein and that the particles became looser and more poro...

The fungal problem in thermal processed beverages
Publication date: Available online 23 August 2019Source: Current Opinion in Food ScienceAuthor(s): Emilia Rico-Munoz, Juliana Lane Paixão dos SantosFungal spoilage of thermally processed beverages by heat-resistant moulds (HRM), heat-sensitive moulds (HSM) and yeasts is a widespread problem for the beverage and juice industries. These beverages and juices can be classified as hot-filled and aseptically- or cold-filled. Since they are heat-processed, both groups can be spoiled by heat-resistant microorganisms such as the HRM. These fungi produce ascospores that can not only survive the heat treatment given to these beverag...
