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.

Amylose content and quality are important factors in the formation of resistant starch. As indicated by measuring the amylose content in the following 6 kinds of materials such as early rice starch, kudzuvine root starch, highland barley starch, mung bean starch, broomcorn starch and lotus root starch via alkali-solution decentralization and iodine-absorbency, the amount of resistant starch obtainable is closely related to the amylose content in the materials, and is also affected by the molecule structure and the average degree of polymerization of amylose and amylopectin. Compared with iodine-absorbency, alkali-solution decentralization is superior in measuring the amylose content to prejudge the amount of resistant starch obtainable.

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.

A kinetic model describing the pathway for the L-cysteine enzymatic synthesis by Pseudomonas sp. strain TS1138 has been developed. In the synthesis pathway, both the L-cysteine synthetase (CS) and the L-cysteine desulfhydrase (CD) were involved with the kinetic model based on Michaelis-Menten type kinetics, and also on noncompetitive inhibition of the CS by L-cysteine. From the determination of intermediates and end products during the process of L-cysteine enzymatic synthesis, with the kinetic model, metabolic control analysis (MCA) of the pathway was carried out. From the kinetic model, the elasticity coefficients and the flux control coefficients were calculated through the pathway. It was found that there is a shift in the flux control from the CS to the CD during the enzymatic reaction.

The analytical study of Arsenic in sauce was introduced by using inductively coupled plasma-atomic-mass spectrometry(ICP-MS). Digestions were carried out in PTFE(Teflon)closed vessels with HNO3 and H2O2. The details of treatment of samples and working parameters of the instrument were described. The matrix effect was corrected by the in-line addition of internal standards, and the mass number interference was amended by applying the correction equation. Satisfactory linearity of working curve is obtained with the correlation coefficient 0.9999. Detection limit of Arsenic element is found at 0.001 mg/kg. CV (n = 6)in the range of 1.2 %~3.3 % and recoveries from 78.4% to 93.1% were obtained in its application for the assay of sauce samples. Comparing the results obtained in this paper by using ICP-MS with those by the national standard method atomic fluorescence spectrometry(AFS), it can be concluded that the ICP-MS method is simple, rapid and sensitive, and can be applied to determine Arsenic in sauce samples.

The off-flavour compounds of irradiated bread were detected with a combinated method of solid phase microextraction (SPME) and gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS) methodology. The effects of irradiation on producing off-flavor compounds of bread with different improved treatments were also investigated. Results showed that the main volatile com-pounds of irradiated bread are 1,3-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)-benzene, ethyl octanonate, hexanal, 2-pentyl-furan, etc. In all these components, the kinds and the contents of aromatic hydro-carbon, aldehydes, alkyls and alkenes increased significantly. Their mutual effects were likely to be responsible for the off-flavour of the irradiated bread. With the reduction of irradiation dosage, the contents of main off-flavour compounds decrease markedly, but the effects of other improved treatments are insignificant.

Both salvianic acid B and rosmarinicacid are water-soluble hydroxybenzene acids. They are all highly valued as medicine. 3mmol/L carbamide were added into the mobile phase(methanol:1% formic acid =40:60) to get hold of more pure salvianic acid B(omit) and rosmarinicacid. They were detected at 280 nm with the peak of rosmarinicacid much better than before(There was no carbamide in the mobile phase). We supposed that rosmarinicacid had a kind of coordination with carbamide in the mobile phase and this coordination made the structure of rosmarinicacid different from before. So this detection method seems better. The method is simple for characterizing, purifing and determinating salvianic acid B and rosmarinicacid.

Oral glucose tolerances and blood insulin levels of diabetic rats were observed after the intake of sucrose or starch with green tea extract. The inhibitory activities of green tea extract against alpha-glucosidase (EC 3.2.1.20) and alpha-amylase (EC 3.2.1.1) were then assayed by colorimetric method, while the glucose uptake into brush border membrane vehicles was determined by rapid filtration method. The results showed that the green tea extract significantly improves the glucose tolerance after sucrose or starch intake in diabetic rats. Green tea extract administration showed that the potent alpha-glucosidase inhibitory activity with IC50 value is 0.13 g/L; but the inhibition effect of green tea extract on alpha-amylase is rather low, with the inhibitory activity about 21% at the concentration of 1 g/L. Green tea extract also significantly decreases glucose transport potency of brush border membrane vehicle of rabbit small intestine with IC50 value as 3.5 g/L. It is suggested that the green tea in general, would inhibit carbohydrate digestion and absorption into small intestine, so as to be physiologically useful for suppressing postprandial hyperglycemia.

Objective: To study the hypocholesterolemic effects of rice and soybean protein isolate on estrogen deficiency-induced hypercholesterolemia in ovariectomized rats. Methods: 24 Wistar femal rats were divided into four groups. Three groups were double ovariectomized and fed the diets containing rice and soybean protein isolates as two experimental groups with 20% casein as control. The other group was sham-overiectomized and fed the diets containing 20% casein as control. All rats were dissected afer 4 weeks of feeding to assay concentrations of cholesterol, triacylglycerides in serum and liver and fecal excretion of bile acids and apparent protein digestibility. Results: Concentrations of cholesterol, triacylglycerides in serum and liver are significantly increased in OVX rats. Concentrations of serum total cholesterols, LDL and cholesterol are significantly lower in soybean isolate feed group than in casein feed group(p<0.05), but triacylglycerides are effected with no significant difference. Liver weight, liver total lipids, total cholesterol, free cholesterol and total triacylglycerides are also significantly decreased. However, fecal excretion and fecal excretion of bile acids are being increased and apparent protein digestibility of soybean protein isolate group is higher than that of casein and rice protein isolate groups. Rice protein isolate group has no apparent effect on decreasing serum lipids, but liver total lipids, total cholesterol, free cholesterol and triacylglycerides of rice protein isolate group are significantly lower than those of casein group. But fecal excretion, fecal excretion of bile acids and apparent protein digestibility of rice protein isolate group has no apparent difference with casein group. Conclusions: Resistant protein may significantly decreasethe serum cholesterol concentration in estrogen deficiency-induced hypercholesterolemia rats, because the hypocholesterolemic effect of resistant protein appears to be interfered with bile acids metabolism and fecal excretion increase in the intestinal pool.

By means of three different artificial picking-way, namely tree picking, net picking and natural dropping. Different mechanical stress effects were discussed on business quality and postharvest olives physiology. The results showed that after suffering mechanical stress, during storage, the fruit weight loss rate and the soluble solid content show some linear increase, while the cell membrane permeability also increases. Since both the quantities of vitamin C and organic acid decrease, with water content descending, respiration rate quickly enhancing, and PPO, POD and CAT activities increasing, the fruits decrepitude progress accelerating. Hence gently handling will decrease mechanical stress and be important to extend the life span and improve the commodity quality.

This experiment studied the effects of exogenous ethylene of different concentrations(10~20μl/L, 50~80μl/L) on the quality of" Bayuecui"peach fruit during CA storage(9%~11% CO2+9%~11% O2)and then 3 days shelf-life at 20 ℃. The results showed that the treatments with exogenous ethylene could make peach fruit softening normally, however, the firmness of peach fruit which were stored in controlled atmosphere without exogenous ethylene and in low temperature appeared harden, and lost the ability of normal softening even at 20 ℃ at the late period of storage. The treatments with exogenous ethylene promoted the increasing of membrane permeability of peach fruit during storage and shelf-life. Exogenous ethylene increased the total sugar content of peach fruit in the late period of storage, but did not affect the total sugar content obviously at 20 ℃ for 3 days. The treatments of exogenous ethylene accelerated the decreasing of titratable acids content in the middle stage of storage, while slowed down the rapid decreasing of titratable acid content during the shelf-life. The above results indicated that the effects of exogenous ethylene on the quality of peach fruit stored in controlled atmosphere manifested in the middle and late period of storage. Considering the comprehensive effects of different ethylene concentrations on all quality of peach fruit, we believed the treatment with 50~80μl/L exogenous ethylene has better effection.
