Salt and polyelectrolyte affect on food colloid function : polygalacturonic acid and egg albumen case studies

Creator:

Chen, Chi-Shen

Abstract:

The primary purpose of this study was to try to (1) provide information on the chemical nature, including turbidity formation, of polygalacturonic acid in different concentrations of NaCl solution. (2) use turbidity formation characteristics to develop an assay for determining the activities polygalacturonic acid depolymerases by using a polyelectrolyte. (3)...

Initial velocity analyses of milling effects on rates of enzyme-catalyzed saccharification of native wheat straw

Creator:

Nguyen, Quynh M.

Abstract:

There is considerable interest in developing environmentally friendly processes for the economical conversion of biomass plant material to biofuels, bioproducts and biomaterials. One approach to such a conversion process is to make use of enzymes for the conversion of plant polysaccharides to simple sugars; the simple sugars could then be...
