Creator:: Wesche-Ebeling, Pedro Alfredo E.
Abstract:: Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) from strawberries was purified, partially characterized, and used to study its role in the degradation of anthocyanin pigments. The extraction method included the use of a buffered solution containing the phenolic binders Polyclar AT and Amberlite XAD-4. Addition of Triton X-100 resulted in an increase of the...

Creator:: Chang-Lee, Maria Virginia
Abstract:: Yield, proximate composition, and proteolytic activity were determined in each unit operation during production of surimi from Pacific whiting. Preliminary studies involved the addition of protein adjuncts such as egg white (EW), whey protein concentrate (WPC), and soy protein isolate (SPI), at different levels, to kamaboko gels in order to...

Creator:: Turk, Farzaneh
Abstract:: Pectinmethylesterase (PME) activity in fresh cucumber fruit was determined. The effects of several cationic species, temperature, pH, and acetic acid on the activity of cucumber PME was investigated. The efficacy of blanching, infiltration with CaCl₂ or acetic acid, and fermentation with 0 and 40 mM CaCl₂ on inhibition of cucumber...

Creator:: Thunell, Randall Kirk
Abstract:: Phage-insensitive Streptococcus cremoris starter strains were selected by assaying cheese whey against potential starter strains. Six strains were selected and characterized for continual use in cheesemaking. Upon phage-infection, strains were removed from the blend. Cheesemaking continued with remaining strains. A phage-insensitive, fast-acid-producing mutant of the infected strain was isolated and...
