    Preparation of protein isolates was one of main methods for deep development and ultilization of wheat germ, while inactivating enzymes and defatting pretreatment commonly adopt firstly. Therefore effects of these processings on physico-chemical and nutritional properties of wheat germ protein isolates were studied in this paper. The results of experiments showed that inactivating enzyme processing made the yield and purity of wheat germ protein isolates decrease, while defatting process-ing made them increase. Furthermore, inactivating enzymes and defatting pretreatment both could improve the in vitro digestibilities and PER values of wheat germ protein isolates. In addition, inactivating enzymes processing could also evidently enhance the BV values of wheat germ protein isolates.

    The physico-chemical properties of chitosans have the correlationship with their functional properties. It has proved that chitosan has the potent hypocholesterolemic activity in vivo. In this paper, the effects of degree of deacetylation (DD) and viscosity-average molecular weight (Mv) of chitosan samples on their fat-binding, cholesterol-binding and bile salts-binding capacities were studied in vitro. Nine chitosan samples with different DD and Mv were prepared by chemical methods. The binding capacities of fat, cholesterol and bile salts were determined in the conditions simulating human gastrointestinal tract. The optimal additions of samples for binding assays are 120 mg fat-binding assay and 40 mg bile salts-binding, respectively. The fat-binding capacity ranges from 11~37.4 g fat/g chitosan higher than that of cellulose significantly and it increases with the increase of DD and Mv. The cholesterol-binding capacity does not show the regularity variation with the changes of the DD and Mv, but is affected by the diameter of the granule. The bile salts-binding capacity is 1.75~7.75 mg/g chitosan. The viscosity-average molecular weight affects the binding capacity greatly. Chitosan sample with highest molecular weight shows the best bile salts-binding capacity. The degree of deacetylation seems to have no effect on the bile salts-binding capacity. These results indicated that the physicochemical properties of chitosan affect its binding capacities and hypocholesterolemic and hypolipidemic activities.

    Haw pectin showed much higher viscosity than commercially available lemon pectin. On hydrolysis by purified pecinase, both haw and lemon pectin left the pectinase-resistant fractions (Hf and Lf) in a high molecular weight region. DEAE-Sephadex A-25 column chromatography of the resistant fractions showed three peaks (Hf1, 2, 3) for Hf and two peaks (Lf1, 2) for Lf. Acidic fractions Hf3 and Lf3 were structurally similar to each other, but the neutral fractions Hf1 and Lf1 were totally different to constitutional sugar. The structural difference of neutral fractions (Hf1 and Lf1) and presence/absence of acidic fraction corresponding to Hf2 in the pectin molecule might be related to the viscosity of the pectin. Chemical structural analysis by GC and MS showed that the neutral fraction of Hf is an arabinoxyloglucan containing the linkages of Glc(1→3)Xyl and Xyl (1→6)Glc.

    Referring to the sequences of some promoter, terminator and exotic gene, the primers 35SCP142 and CPNOS165 were designed. Sensitivity has been obviously improved by optimizing the primers which could make the length of amplicon shorten from 170bp to 100bp. Up to 0.01ng exotic gene could be detected in a 25μl volume PCR amplification system. In order to detect the exotic gene in soybean oil, two primers 35SCP318 and 35SCP114 for NEST-PCR (nest polymerase chain reaction) have been designed, with which DNA fragments of exotic gene have been amplified and detected. Accuracy of the new primers also have been estimated by being applied to several kinds of products, including GMOs and NON-GMOs. Verfied by sequencing, new primers namely 35SCP142, CPNOS165 and NEST-PCR primers posses high specificities, and could be used for exotic genes detection.

    Yeast β-1,3-glucan was hydrolyzed by the β-1,3-glucanase with Trichoderma strain LE02. The conditions of enzymatic hydrolysis were optimized to improve the solubility of amyloses and obtain the maximum water soluble amylose, while the hydrolysate fractions were analyzed by GPC(gel-permeation chromatography). The maximum yield of water soluble β-1,3-glucan is 52% when 20% substrates with 4 U/ml enzyme are incubated at 55 ℃ in pH4.5 buffer for 2 h. The hydrolysates separated through Sephadex G-100 include three fractions: high-molecular-weightpolysaccharides(Fraction I), oligosaccharides (Fraction II), and low-molecular-weight oligosaccharides (Fraction III). The ratio of Fraction I decreases while Fraction III increases rapidly as the β-1,3-glucan was hydrolyzed. The molecular weight distribution of the hydrolysates hydrolyzed for 2 h is analyzed by GPC and over 66.2% fraction is of the molecular weight larger than 30 kD.

    The dynamic analysis of protease hydrolysis of milk protein in pH naturally changed and controlled conditions was studied and the physico-chemical properties, especially the bitter taste, of hydrolysates with the former method was further investigated to select the right protease for less bitter hydrolysates and the proper hydrolysis technique. The two indexes, degree of hydrolysis and 10% trichloroacetic acid-soluble nitrogen(TCA-SN) content, were used to compare the four kinds of proteolysis in naturally changed pH and controlled conditions. The solubility, viscosity, bitter taste and protein hydrolyzed conditions of the four hydrolysates produced by the pH naturally changed technique were further studied to find their physicochemical properties. The results showed: There is little difference on hydrolysis degree and TCA-SN content between the two techniques; Compared with the milk protein, the hydrolysates show good solubility in acidic condition. Viscosity does not change much with the improvement of concentration. Hydrolysates produced by Novo Neutrase and Papain are the most bitter while by Novo Protamex less bitter. SDS-PAGE showed that the two neutrases mainly hydrolyze milk protein casein. In a word, these four enzymes can be used to hydrolyze milk protein in the naturally changed pH conditions in order to simplify the hydrolyzed process, to give the hydrolysates good properties.
