Cyclopropenoid fatty acids (CPFA) are natural components of
cottonseed oil, a major food oil in the United States. The ability of
CPFA to cause abnormal biochemical and physiological effects when
fed to laboratory and farm animals has prompted an investigation of
their effects on mice.
Between 0.05 and 0.55% CPFA...
One hundred and fourteen strains of Moraxella species isolated
from marine fishery sources were investigated to determine the cause
of this organism's predominance in seafood. The nutritional requirements,
effect of pH, NaCl concentration, and temperature on growth,
utilization of carbohydrates, protein, and lipid, resistance to 12
antibiotics, sensitivity to phenethyl...
The objective of this investigation was to develop an acceptable
aspartame sweetened orange sherbet which might offer significant
caloric reduction and cost advantages, and hence be applicable to
commercial production.
A control sherbet, with a preference level equal to a
commercially available orange sherbet was used as the reference.
An...
Porapak Q, Chromosorb 102, and Tenax GC, three porous
polymers commonly used as adsorbents in headspace analyses were
investigated. The retention times of various low-boiling compounds
relative to water were measured on the collection columns to determine
which compounds would be lost during the water removal step
employed after sampling...
