    We investigated the optimum reaction conditions of Folin-Ciocalteu colorimetry for the determination of total polyphenos in 60% ethanol extract of ethanol mulberry fruits using gallic acid as a reference. When ratio of Folin-Ciocalteu reagent to 12% sodium carbonate solution (V/V) was 1:2, reaction temperature 20 ℃, and reaction time 2 h, the content of total polyphenols had a good linear relationship with absorbance at 760 nm. The average spiked recovery was 97.63%, with a RSD of 4.5%. This method can give a simple, fast, sensitive, and stable determination of total popyphenols in mulberry fruits.

    This paper dealt with the effects of culture time, culture-disturbing, and NaCl on protease activity of the mucor extracted. Several methods for the extraction of mucor protease with optimal absorb wavelength for detection of protease activity were also studied. The results were that: high composition protease activity could be obtained through 72h solid-medium cultivation, but one culture-farmed-over after 24h cultivation, extracted with distilled water in using NaCl in the culture would yield higher activity. The optimal absorb wavelength was 690nm.

    Abstract1773)   HTML15)    PDF(pc) (194KB)(3999)       Save
    Natural antioxidant peptides are safer than synthetic food antioxidants, hence the growing interest in the substitution of synthetic food antioxidants by natural antioxidant peptides has focused research on their preparation from inexpensive or residual sources from agricultural industries. Except for antioxidant ability, other biological properties such as anticarcinogenicity, antimutagenicity and antiaging activity have been reported for natural antioxidant peptides. Hence antioxidant peptides are not exclusive concern for the food industry, which are widely needed to prevent deterioration of other oxidisable goods, such as cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and plastics. In the last few decades, antioxidant peptides have been given more and more attentions for its important function and become the focus of domestic and foreign studies. In this review, after presenting general aspects about natural source of antioxidant peptides, is to focus on the crude extraction and purification of antioxidant peptides from agricultural and industrial wastes, as well as to summarize the evaluating indicators and influencing factors of antioxidant activity. At last the application of antioxidant peptides is presented.

    As two major constituents of starch, amylose and amylopectin are distinct in both molecular structures and molecular aggregation, which results in dissimilarity in their physico-chemical properties. Consequently, the application performance of starch is variable due to the ratio of amylose and amylopectin. Current progress in characterization such as purity, molecular structure, relative molecular weight, crystal characteristics, thermal enthalpy and viscosity of amylose and amylopectin has been reviewed in this paper, which will provide meaningful references for further investigations of structural and physicochemical characterization as well as the application of amylose and amylopectin.
