Effects of whey concentrate crystallization parameters of temperature, pH, and length of time of crystallization on lactose crystal forms and amount of lactose crystallized were investigated. Effect of crystallization parameters on freeze-dried powder quality was also investigated. Lactose crystal forms were observed in x-ray crystal diffraction patterns of freeze-dried whey...
The Hawaiian-Emperor seamount chain is the ‘‘type’’ example of an age-progressive, hot spotgenerated intraplate volcanic lineament. However, our current knowledge of the age distribution within this province is based largely on radiometric ages determined several decades ago. Improvements in instrumentation, sample preparation methods, and new material obtained by recent drilling...
