Rainbow trout were fed semi-purified diets containing cyclopropenoid
fatty acids, and the biological effects of these acids were
investigated. These fatty acids occur naturally in cottonseed oil and
have been implicated in a large number of physiological disorders.
Included in this study was an investigation of the pattern of deposition...
The use of gas chromatography for the separation, comparison,
and subsequent identification of flavor volatiles from food
products has proven highly successful in recent years. The
development of various techniques for the concentration of the
volatiles before gas chromatographic analysis has greatly extended
the use of this important analytical tool....
The quality of radiation-pasteurized halibut stored at 34°F
was evaluated subjectively and objectively over a period of 18 weeks.
Results of flavor evaluation and chemical analyses showed that the
storage life of halibut irradiated at 0.50, 0.75 and 1.00 megarad was
extended more than threefold. Although irradiated samples were
consistently...
The variation in fatty acid composition between the "bound" and
"free" lipid in stored anchovy meal was determined using gas-liquid
chromatographic analysis. A model system of fresh anchovy oil on
powdered lactalbumin was also studied to determine the changes in
extractability and fatty acid composition which occur during oxidation.
All...
Pasteurization radiation offers a new means of extending the
refrigerated storage life of foods. This procedure avoids many of
the undesirable changes which result when sterilization radiation is
used and still eliminates most of the spoilage organisms.
Shrimp was treated with 5 ppm chlortetracycline and subjected
to pasteurization levels of...
The biological preparation of aflatoxins was accomplished by
culturing the mold Aspergillus flavus on various media. Aflatoxin
was isolated by chloroform extraction of the culture, and purified
by column fractionation and crystallization. Rice, wheat, soya bean,
peanut and YES media were found to give high yields of aflatoxin. It
was...
Malonaldehyde, a very reactive member of the homologous
series of dialdehydes, is associated with the autoxidative deterioration
of lipids. Its measurement, in autoxidized lipid systems is an
expression of the extent of oxidation, in lipids. Malonaldehyde lends
itself well to such determinations because of the sensitivity and
specificity of its...
The lipid composition of swine is characteristic of the species
and is also a reflection of their dietary history. Other investigators
have established that the physical properties and composition of
swine depot fat may be altered by variation of the dietary lipid.
Dietary regimens employing vegetable oil-bearing materials and
their...
