Turbidimetry was used to determine the antibacterial activity of ovomucin against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella. pH and temperature induced changes in the antibacterial rate against Escherichia coli were also investigated. A significant difference was observed in the antibacterial activity against different bacteria. Ovomucin showed obvious anti-bacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Salmonella, with MIC of 0.05 mg/mL and 0.4 mg/mL, respectively, while it had no significant effect on the growth of Staphylococcus aureus. In addition, better antibacterial effect on Escherichia coli occurred in neutral and alkaline conditions. Good thermal stability of the antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli was observed below 100 ℃. However, a reduction in the antibacterial activity appeared with increasing heating time.

In the present study, konjac-glucomannan oligosaccharides (KOS) were selenized by dry-heating in the presence of selenite, and selenized KOS (Se-KOS) were characterized by ultraviolet, infrared (IR) and X-ray diffraction spectroscopy. Furthermore, the in vitro antioxidant capacity of Se-KOS was evaluated. The IR spectrum of Se-KOS showed a strong band at 890 cm-1 attributed to Se=O, suggesting that selenium has been successfully conjugated with KOS. The DPPH radical scavenging activity, ABTS+· scavenging activity, Fe2+ chelating activity, and reducing power of Se-KOS were markedly enhanced due to selenization. Our results suggest that selenization is an efficient method for enhancing the antioxidant activity of KOS and thus may provide a new method for manufacturing organic Se and antioxidant.

In this study, cell wall polysaccharides from peach cultivars ‘Yuhua No. 3’ and ‘Jianayan’ were measured by HPLC to investigate changes in molecular weight distribution during fruit ripening and softening. Both cultivars exhibited a declining trend in the molecular weights of CDTA, Na2CO3 and KOH polysaccharide fractions during fruit ripening and softening, indicating the depolymerization of cell wall polysaccharides and the generation of low molecular weight materials. However, apparent differences in the molecular weights, amounts and time of occurrence of depolymerization were found for the two peach cultivars, suggesting that peach softening can be affected by the pattern of depolymerization of polysaccharides.

This research aimed to evaluate the flowability and floodability of several powdery nutrients used in wheat flour fortification. The angle of repose, angle of fall, angle of difference, angle of spatula, aerated bulk density, packed bulk density, compressibility, uniformity coefficient and dispersibility of powdery nutrients samples were determined using a bulk powders characterization tester (BT-1000) and their flowability and floodability indices were calculated with reference to the table of Carr’s flowability index and Carr’s floodability index to range from 38 to 90.5 and from 35.5 to 67.5, respectively, with apparent differences. A significant linear correlation between flowability index and angle of repose, compressibility or angle of spatula (P<0.01) was found, although flowability index did not show a significant statistical relationship with uniformity coefficient; similarly, there was a significant correlation between floodability index and angle of fall, angle of difference and dispersibility (P<0.01) despite no significant statistical relationship between flowability index and floodability index. All investigated nutrients revealed differences in flowability and floodability because of the differences in physical properties and no direct association between both parameters.

Although TPA is one of the important methods for evaluating textural properties of fruit and vegetables, the selection of test parameters may potentially affect TPA results. The effects of compression degree and speed (in the ranges of 10% to 35% and 60 to 240 mm/min, respectively) on TPA results were investigated. Compression degree revealed remarkable influence on five textural parameters including hardness 1, hardness 2, springiness, cohesiveness and resilience, while compression speed affected only resilience. Therefore, compression degree should receive more attention in selecting test parameters for TPA measurement.

The effect of formulated edible gum on the quality of emulsified sausages was investigated in this study. The amount ratios between two kinds of gum such as konjac gum, carrageenan gum and xanthan gum were 0:10, 3:7, 4:6, 5:5, 6:4, 7:3 and 10:0, respectively. The formulated edible gum (0.6%) was added to emulsified sausages to observe the effect of edible gum ratio on the quality of emulsified sausage by determining productivity, textural characteristics, color, and waterholding capacity. The results showed that the maximum productivity of emulsified sausages with the addition of edible gum was 183%, which was much higher than that of control group. A significant increase in hardness, springiness, water-holding capacity and redness (a*-value) was observed in emulsified sausage group with the addition of formulated edible gum, suggesting that formulated edible gum could significantly improve the quality of emulsified sausage. In addition, a synergic effect of pairwise combinations of konjac gum, carrageenan gum, and xanthan gum was observed. The optimal ratio between konjac and carrageenan, konjac and xanthan gum, or carrageenan and xanthan gum were 4:6, 3:7 and 7:3, respectively. Therefore, the formulated edible gum can improve the quality of emulsified sausages.

The influences of three different processing technologies (slicing, freeze drying and pulping) on functional properties of pueraria powder were investigated. Pueraria powder made from different processing technologies showed little differences in the chemical composition, but considerable differences in flavonoid content (the highest level, 38.9775 mg/100 g, was found in sample made by freeze drying). Pulping had the most significant influence on iodine blue value, water binding capacity, oil binding capacity, solubility and emulsifying capacity followed by slicing and freeze drying. Pueraria powder made by freeze drying exhibited the highest stability (4.13%). During the whole process, pueraria powder made by pulping revealed the highest viscosity at the same temperature followed by pueraria powder made by slicing and freeze drying. During cooling after holding at 95 ℃ for 30 min, the viscosity of pueraria powder made by pulping and slicing tended to increase, while the viscosity of pueraria powder made by freeze drying remained stable. Pueraria powder made by freeze drying had a strong flavor and a good color but poor dispersibility. Pueraria powder made by pulping presented light flavor and a yellow color despite having good dispersibility. The flavor of pueraria powder made by slicing was strong but lighter than that of pueraria powder made by freeze drying, and its dispersibility was in the middle.

In order to explore the impact of a variety of heat treatments on the detection and extinction of Salmonella
DNA, five kinds of common heat treatment methods during the processing and consumption of meat were applied to kill
Salmonella. The genomic DNA of treated bacteria after a period of storage at room temperature was extracted. The results
showed that heat treatment at 65 ℃ for 20 min, 85 ℃ for 30 min, boiling for 3 min, and sterilization at 121 ℃ for 15 min
could completely inactivate Salmonella, but boiling for 2 min cannot inactivate Salmonella. A large number of genomic
DNA remained in bacilli treated by heating at 65 ℃ for 20 min and 85 ℃ for 30 min, and exhibited a slow demise as well
as the bands was still visible after storage for 18 days. The DNA bands of bacilli treated by boiling for 3 min was very weak
and disappeared after four days. In contrast, the sterilization at 121 ℃ for 15 min had no visible bands. During a long storage
period, a large number of gene fragments also remained in dead bacilli. The higher heating temperature resulted in the faster
degeneration of Salmonella DNA. Therefore, in order to keep safety, the meat should be boiled for at least 3 min.

In this study, proximate nutrients of raw milk of Holstein, yak, Jersey cattle, Murrah buffalo, Nili-Ravi buffalo, hybrid F1 buffalo and multiple-generation hybrid buffalo were analyzed, and the contents of proteins and amino acids as well as the buffer capacity of milk was determined. The results showed that the fat, protein and total solid contents in Murrah, Nili-Ravi, hybrid F1 and multiple-generation hybrid buffalo milk were 6.86%, 7.99%, 8.34%, 8.69%, 5.75%, 5.14%, 5.78%, 5.58%, and 17.07%, 18.79%, 19.73% and 19.88%, respectively, all of which were significant higher than those in another three kinds of raw milk. The lactose contents of yak and Jersey were 5.09% and 5.17%, which were significantly higher than those in another five kinds of raw milk. SDS-PAGE showed that milk protein in buffalo had unknown bands except BSA, α-CN, β-CN, κ-CN, β-Lg and α-La. The buffalo milk revealed the best buffer capacity, which was followed by yak and Jersey milk, and Holstein milk exhibited the lowest buffer capacity.

Browning is an unavoidable problem during hot-air drying of Thompson seedless grape. In order to evaluate
the influence of browning on nutritive and functional properties of raisin, we investigated the changes in color, total phenol
content, and antioxidant properties such as DPPH, ABTS+· scavenging capacity and reducing power during hot-air drying
(30 ℃) of Thompson seedless grapes. The browning of Thompson seedless grapes started on the 8th day of drying and then
became serious with increasing drying time; as a result, an increase in a* value and a decrease in L* value, b* value and
c* value were observed. Total polyphenol content showed an overall decrease despite the sudden increase on the 8th day
followed by a dramatic decrease. This increase on the 8th day corresponded to the time of appearance of browning and a*
peak. During the entire drying process, total polyphenol content was extremely significantly positively correlated with DPPH,
ABTS+· scavenging capacity and reducing power. This finding indicates that total polyphenols are mainly responsible for
the antioxidant activity of Thompson seedless grapes, and the observed decrease in total polyphenol content and antioxidant
activity is related to aggregated browning.

The main objective of this study was to investigate the effect of high pressure processing (300 MPa, 25 ℃, 10 min) on gel properties of salt-soluble proteins from low polyphosphate (0.15 g/100 g) chicken breast using mixture regression design. Based on water-holding capacity, the optimum ratio of sodium pyrophosphate (DSPP) to sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP) to sodium hexametaphosphate (HMP) was 41:42.3:16.7 and 38.9:44.4:16.7 for samples with and without HPP, respectively. HPP resulted in a significant rise in water holding capacity. DSPP exhibited synergistic effects with STPP or HMP on water holding capacity in control group, whereas synergistic effects between DSPP and HMP and between STPP and HMP were observed for HPP group. The water holding capacity of salt-soluble proteins gels subjected to HPP treatment at 100 MPa and added with 0.15% compound phosphate was similar to that of salt-soluble proteins gels with the addition of 0.30% compound phosphate, suggesting that the application of HHP can reduce the amount of phosphates required for achieving similar water holding capacity.

The degradation of raddish red pigment in different matrixes (0.1 mol/L, pH 3.0 sodium phosphate buffer and soft drink with different amounts of vitamin C) during storage and heat treatment was explored. The raddish red pigment was degraded markedly during heat treatment at 75—95 ℃ in a temperature-dependent manner and a first-order reaction kinetic model. Raddish red pigment in soft drink with 120 mg/L vitamin C revealed the highest stability during heat-treatment. The degradation of raddish red pigment during the storage at 4 ℃ and 25 ℃ was fitted by zero-order reaction kinetic and firstorder reaction kinetic models, respectively.

Objective: To explore antioxidant activity of phenols extracted from wood vinegar of bitter almond shell.
Methods: pH gradient extraction was adopted to separate phenols (E-WV) from wood vinegar. The antiperoxidant
activity of phenols was evaluated by DPPH radical scavenging capability and inhibitory capacity against linoleic acid
peroxidation. Peroxide value (POV) and acid value (AV) of walnut oil were used to estimate inhibitory capacity against
peroxidation of nut oil. Results: Through pH gradient extraction, the content of polyphenols was up to 1570.370 mg/g,
which revealed an enhancement by 1.96 fold when compared with the original wood vinegar. The antioxidant activity
revealed a remarkable increase as the increase of E-WV content, and IC50 values of E-WV against DPPH free radicals and
linoleic acid peroxidation were 0.724 mg/L and 4.632 mg/L, respectively. After storage at 70 ℃ in the dark environment
for 5 days, the POV and AV of walnut oil were in an order from strong to weak of the control (CK), oil with 25 mg BHT
(BHT-25) and oil with 25 mg E-WV (E-WV-25). The frying of nut oil resulted in an obvious increase in AV and POV.
Subjected to three different periods of frying, AV and POV of nut oil were in the order of CK, BHT-25 and E-WV-25.
Therefore, polyphenols from the vinegar of bitter almond shell has a remarkable antioxidant effect on nut oil under the
conditions of high temperature or frying.

The formation mechanism of endogenous formaldehyde in toffee was studied by glycerol system. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-derived liquid extraction method was used to determine formaldehyde. The results showed that glycerol could collect formaldehyde efficiently during the production of toffee. As major compositions of toffee, milk powder plays an important role in the generation of formaldehyde. The major reason for the generation of endogenous formaldehyde in toffee was Maillard reaction between casein and lactose. The content of formaldehyde and its variation tendency in casein-lactose-glycerol system treated at 60—120 ℃ for 1 h was similar with milk powder-lactoseglycerol system under the same condition. Positive correlation between formaldehyde content and high temperature treatment was observed. Different kinds of carbohydrates play different roles in the generation of formaldehyde. The most obvious impact was glucose, which was followed by fructose, lactose and sucrose.

To improve the energy utilizing efficiency and the monitoring accuracy of material moisture in the drying process of Cantonese cured meat, a heat pump dryer was used for drying Cantonese cured meat, and the kinetics of moisture ratio (MR) were fitted to select 11 different mathematical models of thin-layer dying. An optimum model was chosen based on their coefficients of determination (R2), root mean square error (RMSE) and chi-square (χ2). The effects of drying air temperature and velocity on the model constants and coefficients were evaluated by regression analysis. The results showed that the Two term model was superior to the others in describing the drying curves of Cantonese cured meat and experimental data of MR was in agreement with the predicted results. The effect of drying air temperature and velocity within the range of 50—60 ℃ and 0.4— 1.0 m/s could be described to predict the moisture content of the product with the model using the established model.

The distribution and migration of water directly affect the quality of the surimi. In this study, nuclear magnetic resonance was used to explore the distribution and migration of the water by salt addition during the processing of surimi products. The proton density of high relaxation time revealed an increase and the proton density of low-relaxation tine revealed a reduction after salt blending and seasoning blending, which suggested that the mobility of the water exhibited an increase. In contrast, the proton density of high relaxation time revealed a reduction and the proton density of low-relaxation tine exhibited an increase after heating, as well as the water binding capacity was enhanced. Similarly, the status of water also had an obvious correlation with textural properties with the R2 of 0.9. Combination of texture and relaxation properties, the appropriate addition amount of salt was 3.0 g/100 g.

Waxy rice flour and composite flour consisting of 10% (m/m, based on the total weight of flour) waxy wheat flour
and 90% waxy rice flour were used in this study to investigate the effect of TGase (at levels of 0, 0.5% and 1%, m/m, based
on the total weight of flour) on the pasting properties of both systems. For waxy flour dough made from these two kinds
of flour, the quality improvement and frozen stability of the products after TGase treatment were also evaluated. Results
showed that the addition of 10% waxy wheat flour to waxy rice flour decreased the viscosity of paste, while after TGase
treatment, the peak viscosity and final viscosity of composite flour increased by 15.19% and 15.23%, respectively. The
mixture of waxy wheat flour with waxy rice flour could induce a decrease in the hardness of waxy flour dough and delayed
staling of the resulting product. TGase addition reduced the collapse degree to 0 and 0.01 cm for the waxy flour dough made
from waxy rice flour and composite flour, respectively. Waxy composite flour dough containing 10% waxy wheat flour and
1% TGase could keep a surface integrity up to 90% after storage at -18 ℃ for six weeks. In conclusion, waxy wheat flour
and TGase have the potential to improve the quality and frozen stability of waxy flour dough.

The effects of light, temperature, pH, reductants, oxidizers, organic acids, carbohydrates, preservatives and metal ions on the stability of the pigment extracted from grain amaranth flower spikes were investigated. The results showed that the pigment revealed good stability to heat and light, however, the pigment exhibited unsatisfactory acid stability. Ideal pH range for the pigment was 4-8. In addition, the pigment was relatively stable at low concentrations of reductants, oxidizers and preservatives. Carbohydrates, Al3+ and Mg2+ may result in hyperchromic effect under certain conditions. In contrast, Ca2+, Zn2+, Fe2+ and Fe3+ could also cause changes in the turbidity and color of the pigment, but Na+ and K+ had little effect on the pigment.

In the present study, French fries and chicken wings were fried in soybean oil, cottonseed oil, palm oil or hydrogenated oil. The result showed that during the frying process, the fatty acid composition (FAC) of the four frying oils had some changes. C18:2/C16:0 ratio of FAC was treated as the deterioration index of fat and oil. The results showed that hydrogenated oil exhibited minimum decrease in C18:2/C16:0 ratio (P < 0.05) suggesting the best stability of fatty acids. However, the amount of trans fatty acids in each frying oil did not significantly increase (P > 0.05), which in hydrogenated oil was 10.39% originally and declined to 6.66% after frying. The high content of trans fatty acids found in frying oils was still maintained after frying.

The growth characteristics of Pseudomonas in chilled pork with pallet package were analyzed at low temperatures (0, 5 ℃ and 10 ℃). The modified Gompertz, Huang, and Baranyi models were used for fitting the growth data of Pseudomonas. Statistical criteria residual (residual distribution) and goodness-of-fit (residual sum of squares (RSS), Akalke Information Crlterlon (AIC), residual standard error (RSE)) analyses were used to evaluate model performance and determine the appropriate model for the growth of Pseudomonas in chilled pork. Results showed that an apparent reduction of Pseudomonas during the lag phase at low temperatures (0, 5 ℃ and 10 ℃). The minimum RSS, AIC and RSE values fitted by Baranyi model at 0 ℃ were 5.2933, -54.0428 and 0.1708, respectively. The smallest RSS, AIC and RSE values achieved by modified Gompertz and Huang models were 17.7372, -18.9098, 0.5068 and 13.0410, -22.4848 and 0.4207, respectively. The best choice to describe the growth of Pseudomonas were Baranyi, modified Gompertz and Huang models at 0, 5 ℃ and 10 ℃, respectively. Therefore, the most appropriate model should be chosen to predict the growth of Pseudomonas at different temperature conditions for practical application in chilled pork industry.

The effects of different Al3+ concentrations and different c(Al3+):c(F-) concentration ratios on accumulation
characteristics of fluoride in tea plants (Camellia sinesis L.) under liquid culture conditions were examined. Low Al3+
concentrations (1.05-5.26 mmol/L; c(Al3+):c(F-) = 1:10-1:2) could promote fluoride accumulation in tea plant roots and
fluoride was absorbed primarily in an ionic form. On the contrary, fluoride accumulation in tea plant roots was inhibited under
high Al3+ concentrations (10.52-31.57 mmol/L; c(Al3+):c(F-) = 1:1-3:1) and fluoride was absorbed primarily in the form of
c(Al3+):c(F-)complex. Different Al3+ concentrations had a promoting effect on fluoride accumulation in tea leaves. Fluoride
accumulation in tea plant roots was inhibited at c(Al3+):c(F-) ratios equal to or greater than 1 and Al3+ concentrations equal to or
greater than 10.52 mmol/L, but promoted at c(Al3+):c(F-) ratios smaller than 1 and Al3+ concentrations equal to or smaller than
5.26 mmol/L. Al3+ could promote fluoride translocation from roots to leaves in tea plants and the maximum translocation factor
was observed at c(Al3+):c(F-) ratios of 1:1, 1:3 and 1:5.

As food poisoning may cause disability and deaths, it has been incorporated into the national health emergency management category. In this study, the comparative analysis of food poisoning data during the period of 1985—2011 from China’s Ministry of Health was conducted to explore the characteristics and the trends of food poisoning. The result showed a decline in food poisoning case although there was slight growth from 2003 to 2004 and a low degree of regulated fluctuation from 2005 to 2011. The major cause of food poisoning could be attributed to some toxic plants, animals and mushroom, chemicals, microorganisms and unknown substances.. Microbial food poisoning accounted for the highest incidence of food poisoning. Chemical and toxic plants, animals and poisonous mushrooms were a major cause of death. Food poisoning occurs mainly in the third quarter. Therefore, this paper proposed two suggestions that it is essential to enhance the literacy of food poisoning across the population in high risk area and to improve emergency response capabilities of local health authorities.

The effect of the diet containing mulberry leaves at the addition amounts of 2.5%, 5.0%, 7.5% and 10.0% on the quality of egg yolk was investigated. The results showed that egg yolk color became darker with the increased amount of mulberry leaves, and the content of egg yolk cholesterol was not significantly influenced by mulberry leaves. The egg yolk phosphorus content in diet groups with mulberry leaves at the amounts of 5.0% and 7.5% were significantly higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05). The saturated fatty acid content in mulberry-leaf groups was significantly reduced when compared with the control group (P < 0.05) and the content of monounsaturated fatty acid and polyunsaturated fatty acid revealed faster increase than that in the control group (P < 0.01). The total content of seven essential amino acids in diet with mulberry leaves at the amounts of 5.0% and 7.5% groups were obviously higher than that in the control group (P < 0.05). The content of yolk vitamin E was significantly increased with the addition amount of mulberry leaves (P < 0.01), especially in the diet group with 10% mulberry leaves. The egg yolk in the diet groups with mulberry leaves had much better smell and taste than in the control group; similarly, the smell and taste of egg yolk in the diet groups with 5.0% and 7.5% mulberry leaves better than those in the other groups (P < 0.05). In a word, the quality of egg yolk can be improved by adding mulberry leaves in diet, and the optimal addition amount of mulberry leaves was 5.0%—7.5%.

Tea catechins were extracted by hot water from Chinese Oolong tea, and purified by column chromatography to obtain the samples containing 30% EGCG3’’Me, 50% EGCG3’’Me, 90% EGCG3’’Me and 90% EGCG, respectively. The effects of these prepared samples on intestinal microflora were evaluated by in vitro fermentation of human fecal bacteria and fluorescent in situ hybridization. Results showed that methylated catechins exhibited a proliferative effect on probotics such as Bifidobacterium spp. and Lactobacillus/Enterococcus spp., and an inhibitory effect on harmful bacteria such as Bacteroids-Prevotella spp. and Clostridium histolyticum. However, no significant difference in the number of total bacteria between treatment and control groups was observed. In addition, 90% EGCG3’’Me had the highest probiotic index (PI, 2.68), followed by 50% EGCG3’’Me (2.25), 30% EGCG3’’Me (2.14) and 90% EGCG (1.86), which were much higher than that of the control (0.12). These results suggested that methylated catechins might have certain regulatory effect on intestinal environment by modulating intestinal microecology.

Cyanidin-3-O-β-glucoside (Cy-3-g)-rich foods have been reported to inhibit the onset of obesity, but the underlying mechanism has remained unclear. The induction of LPL activity in skeletal muscle will facilitate to the hydrolysis of triglyceride (TG) by β-oxidation, which can result in the decrease of TG store in adipose and the inhibition of obesity. In the present study, the isolation and culture method for skeletal muscle cells was established. The aim of our present study was to explore the effect of Cy-3-g on LPL activity in the skeletal muscle cells isolated from rats. The results demonstrated that Cy-3-g induced the activation of LPL in skeletal muscle cells due to the activation of pAMPK, suggesting that Cy-3-g may have a potential role against obesity through the regulation of lipid metabolism.

Purpose: The present study was aimed to investigate the potential effect of the wheat peptide on the nitrogen metabolism, gastrointestinal morphology, and enzyme activity of small intestine mucosa in rats. Methods: 50 SD rats were randomly divided into control group, low, medium and high doses of the wheat peptide group and wheat gluten group. The animals were daily administered with water, wheat peptide or wheat protein through ig route for continuous 30 days. The feces and urine samples of rats in 24 hours were collected using metabolic cages on 10th, 20th, 30th day. On 30th days, rats were sacrificed and serum, stomach and small intestine mucosa were harvested to investigate the changes of the indicators of nitrogen metabolism, serum biochemical parameters, surface scanning electron microscopy of gastrointestinal and enzyme activity of small intestinal mucosa. Results: Following 30 days of treatment, low dose of wheat peptide can significantly increase the rat protein digestibility, nitrogen deposition, net protein utilization and the protein biological values were also enhanced by low- and mid-dose of wheat peptide administration. Wheat peptide at all given doses was able to increase the serum total protein content. The gastrointestinal tract epithelial cells of rat following feeding low and medium dose of wheat peptide were more fully lined, tightly connected, neat and orderly than those of control group. Low, middle and high dose wheat peptide could also increase the aminopeptidase enzyme activity of intestinal mucous membrane and high doses of wheat peptide was able to enhance the Na+-K+-ATPase activity of intestinal mucous membrane. Conclusion: a certain dose of wheat peptide can improve the protein absorption and utilization of rats and the mechanisms might be related to its benefits in promoting the growth of epithelial cells of the gastrointestinal tract and its capacity to enhance the aminopeptidase and Na+-K+-ATPase activities of small intestinal mucosa.
