The polymerization of mono-substrate food proteins such as sodium caseinate, bovine serum albumin (BSA), glycininand β-conglycinin, β-lactoglobulin(β-LG) andα-lactoalbumin (α-LA) by MTGase were studied by SDS-PAGE combinedwith the technique of imaging. It showed that sodium caseinate and BSA were the best substrates of MTGase, and glycininfollowed next, andβ-conglycinin and whey proteins were poor substrates of MTGase. According to the differences of catalyticvelocity of MTGase towards different proteins, the polymerization characteristics of MTGase against mono-substrate proteinswere discussed. It was pointed out that, both the molecular structure of substrate protein and its surface hydrophobity (So) wereimportant for the catalytic activity of MTGase, and certain pretreatment of substrate proteins could improve the catalyticactivity of MTGase towards proteins (especially for globular proteins).

Sucrose possessed eight hydroxyl positions suitable for derivation of three primary and five secondary hydroxylgroups. These eight hydroxyl groups were responsible for the sweetness of sucrose. Strong enhancement of sweetness ofsucrose has been achieved by replacing specific hydroxyl groups, namely those at C-4, C-1’, C-4’ and C-6’, in the glucosyl andthe fructoside units of sucrose, but not at the 6-OH group, with highly lipophilic chlorine atoms. The high sweetness intensityof sucrose derivatives was very stereospecific. Thus it was important to research on the relationship between structure andsweetness of sucrose derivatives. Today, the sweetness mechanism of sucrose derivatives was essentially explained by the AH-B-γtheory and the multipoint attachment theory.

The protein properties in extrude-stabilized rice bran were studied. After extrusion treatment, the solubility ofproteins decreased from 42.2% to 14.3%, while the content of unextractable proteins in residue increased from 23.9% to 56.6%.The solubility of proteins in extrude-stabilized rice bran was also markedly decreased during pH 2 to 12, except at the point ofpH4. According to the graphs of DSC, it indicated that extrude-stabilization seriously denatured the proteins in rice bran. Theultrastructure photos of rice bran under SEM showed that the extrusion destroyed its cell wall structure, which made that theextraction rate of proteins from extrude-stabilized rice bran could not be improved with non-starch carbohydrases treatment .

The results showed that the strawberry was a good material suitable for brewed wine because of no peels and kernels,while the favor taste and unique fragrance were abundant in sources. But the brewed wine of strawberries during natural fermenta-tion yielded less alcohol and was easly contaminated.The reason was due to lack of enough sugars in strawberries. The alcohol contentsand qualities of brewed wine of strawberries were significantly improved during forced fermentation by adding dry and active grapeyeasts and sugars. Moreover, the results were better in 11 quality indexes than those during natural fermentation. The growth ofother bacteria was availably restrained with 6080 mg/L SO2 added into the fermentable liquid. The fermentation of strawberrieswas optimum at the temperature 21~23℃. The forced fermentable process of strawberries with sugars was investigated in thisarticle.

Pharmacokinetics and bioavailability of Catechin were studied in 10 healthy rabbits following single intravenousinjection (25mg/kg) and oral administration (25mg/kg) of the drug. The cateshin concentrations in plasma was determined byhigh-performance liquid chromatography. The concentration-time data were fitted to two-compartment open model followingsingle intravenous injection in rabbits. The main pharmacokinetic parameters were as follows: distribution half-life(t1/2α)(0.15±0.01)h, elimination half-life(t1/2β)(0.58±0.02)h, apparent distribution volume(Vd)(2.97±0.11)L total body clearance(ClB)(3.53±0.10) L/h and the area under curve(AUC) (16.95±1.52)mg/(L•h). The drug concentration-time data were fitted tosingle compartment open model after a single oral administration.The pharmacokinetic parameters were as follows:absorptionhalf-life (t1/2Ka) (0.39±0.06) h,elimination half-life (t1/2Ke) (0.79±0.11) h,peak time (tmax) (0.78±0.110h,peak concen-tration (Cmax) (3.35±0.16)mg/L,AUC (7.45±0.94), and bioavailability (F) 64±7.00%. The results showed that thepharmacokinetic characteristics of Catechin in health rabbits were rapid absorption,short time to reach the peak,fastelimination,short half-life, and large apparent distribution volume and not complete oral absorption.

The paper studied processing of fast frozen Asparagus for fresh keeping. It indicated that the activities of PPO andPOD had been greatly inhibited when scalded in 8595℃ for 1.53.0min.The sensorial quality of Asparagus had been main-tained well and the most affected part by scalding was the stalk of Asparagus. For fast frozen Asparagus, the quality by vacuumpacking was obviously better than the normal pressure one. For frozen storage, PE-Ai package should better effect than PE one.As for the means of fast frozen on Asparagus, salt soaking frozen was better than blowing frozen.

The effects of sodium benzoate in chilling storage on tomato juice were studied. For the control the soluble solidsand reducing sugars decreased 20% and 60% respectively , and alcoholic flavour produced seriously after eight weeks storage.By adding 0.09% sodium benzoate the soluble solids and flavour of samples remained constant and reducing sugars decreasedabout 35% . Vitamin C and total colonies in all samples decreased during the storage, but the total colonies in the samples treatedwith sodium benzoate decreased much more. Hence adding 0.06%~0.09% potassium sorbate was suitable in the chilling storageof tomato juice .

The research progresses in regulation of gene expression by nutrients in recent years are reviewed. Accumulatedevidences indicate that gene expression can be regulated years are reviewed. Accumulated evidences indicate that gene expressioncan be regulated by many nutrients in multi-level and multiform manners. Some nutrients can affect gene expression indirectlyas mediated by hormones or transcriptional factors. The mechanisms of nutrient action are expected to be elucidated at molecularlevel in the future as the research in this field is being conducted continuously.
