The effect of frozen storage (-10 and -30 degrees C), formaldehyde, and fish oil on collagen, isolated from cod muscle, was investigated. Salt- and acid-soluble collagen fractions as well as insoluble collagen indicated changes in solubility on frozen storage. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) showed a highly cooperative transition at 28.2 degrees C for isolated collagen. Changes in the thermodynamic properties of collagen were observed on frozen storage at -10 degrees C compared with the control at -30 degrees C because of changes in structure. In the presence of formaldehyde, there were no changes in the DSC collagen transition; however, in the presence of fish oil there was an increase in enthalpy and an extra peak was observed at 44.6 degrees C, indicating collagen-fish oil interaction. Structural changes resulted in a decrease in the solubility of collagen in salt and acid solution. FT-Raman spectra obtained for collagen at -10 degrees C and -30 degrees C confirmed the alteration of the conformation of collagen not only at -10 degrees C but also in the presence of formaldehyde and fish oil.  相似文献

There is a large difference in strength between ovine and bovine leather. The structure and arrangement of fibrous collagen in leather and the relationship between collagen structure and leather strength has until now been poorly understood. Synchrotron based SAXS is used to characterize the fibrous collagen structure in a series of ovine and bovine leathers and to relate it to tear strength. SAXS gives quantitative information on the amount of fibrous collagen, the orientation (direction and spread) of the collagen microfibrils, and the d-spacing of the collagen. The amount of collagen varies through the thickness of the leather from the grain to the corium, with a greater concentration of crystalline collagen measured toward the corium side. The orientation index (OI) is correlated strongly with strength in ovine leather and between ovine and bovine leathers. Stronger leather has the fibrils arranged mostly parallel to the plane of the leather surface (high OI), while weaker leather has more out-of-plane fibrils (low OI). With the measurement taken parallel to the animal's backbone, weak (19.9 N/mm) ovine leather has an OI of 0.422 (0.033), stronger (39.5 N/mm) ovine leather has an OI of 0.452 (0.033), and bovine leather with a strength of (61.5 N/mm) has an OI of 0.493 (0.016). The d-spacing profile through leather thickness also varies according to leather strength, with little variation being detected in weak ovine leather (average=64.3 (0.5) nm), but with strong ovine leather and bovine leather (which is even stronger) exhibiting a dip in d-spacing (from 64.5 nm at the edges dropping to 62 nm in the center). This work provides a clear understanding of a nanostructural characteristic of ovine and bovine leather that leads to differences in strength.  相似文献

A method for the quail-quantitative evaluation of pentachlorophenol (PCP) in solid matrixes has been developed. The procedure is based on solid-liquid extraction of solid samples (leather or wood), followed by purification on a cyanopropyl column and determination of the preservative by second derivative UV spectroscopy considering the PCP A peak-through value (304-297 nm). The method allows rapid PCP determination in the concentration range 1-40 micrograms/mL; any matrix interference is avoided by the purification step and recoveries of the preservative were 99.12% (RSD% 0.13) for the leather matrix and 98.03 (RSD% 0.17) for the wood matrix.  相似文献

Color stability of fruit juice made from strawberries (Fragaria x ananassa, cv. Elsanta) that were subjected to high hydrostatic pressure was studied by measuring the anthocyanin content. High hysrostatic pressure is a method of preservation of food alternative to heat treatment. It is therefore essential to assess the impact of high pressure on color molecules. Samples were pressurized under 200, 400, 600, and 800 MPa for 15 min at a temperature controlled between 18 and 22 degrees C. After application of pressure, the anthocyanin content of the strawberry juice was analyzed by HPLC-UV using a novel isocratic elution system. The high-pressure treated samples were kept at refrigerator temperature (4 degrees C), room temperature (20 degrees C), and 30 degrees C. Two pigments were identified and quantified: pelargonidin 3-glucoside and pelargonidin 3-rutinoside. The highest stability of the anthocyanins was found when strawberries were stored at a temperature of 4 degrees C. High-pressure treatment at 800 MPa led to the lowest losses, at 4 degrees C.  相似文献

The use of subcritical water to extract tricyclazole from soils and sediments was examined. Extraction efficiency and kinetics were determined as a function of temperature, sample age, sample matrix, sample size, and flow rate. Extraction temperature was the most influential experimental factor affecting extraction efficiency and kinetics, with increasing temperature (up to 150 degrees C) yielding faster and higher efficiency extractions. Higher extraction temperatures were also important for quantitative recovery of tricyclazole from aged samples. Extraction at 50 degrees C yielded 97% recoveries from samples aged 1 day but only 30% recoveries for samples aged 202 days, whereas extraction at 150 degrees C yielded recoveries of 85-100% that were independent of incubation time and sample matrix, with the exception of one sediment that contained a large amount of organic matter. Sample extracts from subcritical water extraction were generally a pale yellow color, contrasted with a dark brown color from organic solvent extractions of the same matrixes. Less sample cleanup was therefore required prior to analysis, with the total time for the extraction and analysis of a single sample being approximately 2 h. Subcritical water extraction is an effective technique for the rapid and quantitative extraction of tricyclazole from soils and sediments.  相似文献

Dark chocolate tablets were manufactured using 100% crystalline sucrose, 50% crystalline and 50% amorphous sucrose, and 100% amorphous sucrose. The physical state of sucrose was determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-ray diffraction. DSC scans of dark chocolate samples containing amorphous sucrose were characterized by a glass transition at 63 degrees C, a sucrose crystallization peak at 105 degrees C, and a melting endotherm at 188 degrees C. Independent of the amount of amorphous or crystalline sucrose used for the preparation of dark chocolate, all final chocolate products provided a single melting endotherm at 188 degrees C and a crystalline X-ray diffraction pattern. These results indicated that sucrose crystallized during production of dark chocolate and that no amorphous sucrose was present in the final chocolate products.  相似文献

A widely used method for analyzing hydrolyzable tannins afer reaction with KIO(3) has been modified to include a methanolysis step followed by oxidation with KIO(3). In the new method, hydrolyzable tannins (gallotannins and ellagitannins) are reacted at 85 degrees C for 20 h in methanol/sulfuric acid to quantitatively release methyl gallate. Dried plant samples can be methanolyzed under the same conditions to convert hydrolyzable tannins to methyl gallate. Oxidation of the methyl gallate by KIO(3) at pH 5.5, 30 degrees C, forms a chromophore with lambda(max) 525 nm, which is determined spectrophotometrically. The detection limit of the method is 1.5 microg of methyl gallate, and with plant samples, relative standard deviations of less than 3% were obtained.  相似文献

Rapid Visco Analyser (RVA) profiles were recorded for raw maize grits and two extruded nonexpanded pellets based on wheat and maize. Large differences were found between the profiles obtained when an impeller mill was used to prepare the samples compared with a disk mill. The differences were related to differences in particle properties of the ground products (particle‐size distribution, particle shape, and protein content). Generally, milling the samples with the impeller mill resulted in greater starch conversion than with a disk mill. For raw maize grits, this was shown by X‐ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and alkaline viscosity measurements. Several other laboratory mills were tested and all produced particulates with a sieve range of 125–212 μm that had substantially differing RVA profiles. Cooling the sample during milling did not nullify the milling effects. All the laboratory mills produced <20% of the particulates of the size range required for the RVA analysis. The mill used for sample preparation can exert a significant effect on the RVA for both raw and processed cereal samples, even if measurements are made on a defined sieve fraction.  相似文献

A reverse phase C(18) HPLC method with potential for high automated throughput has been developed for the quantitative analysis of polymeric procyanidins (tannins) in grape seed extracts. Chromatography gave rise to 13 distinct UV-absorbing peaks with good baseline separation. The UV-absorbing peak eluting last is distinct and therefore easily quantified. Biochemical analyses including ultrafiltration, protein precipitation, and Sephadex LH20 chromatography combined with electrospray mass spectrometric analyses establish that this peak predominantly contains polymeric procyanidins. The polymers, which appear to be galloylated to various degrees and seem to fragment in a characteristic manner during electrospray mass spectrometry, are well separated from catechins and procyanidin oligomers of up to 4 units. The recovery of polymeric grape seed tannins with this HPLC method was 86%, which is similar to the 89% recovery achieved with commercial quebracho tannins. The concentration of tannins in seeds from ripe Vitis vinifera cv. Shiraz grapes ranged from 1360 to 2830 mg/kg of berries.  相似文献

The N-heptafluorobutyryl isobutyl derivatives of proteic amino acids are well resolved by gas chromatography and form the basis of a convenient, rapid assay. The derivatives are prepared by acid-catalyzed esterification at 120 degrees C for 20 min in 3N HCl-isobutanol followed by acylation with heptafluorobutyric anhydride at 150 degrees C for 10 min. The reaction sequence is performed without any transfers or extractions and thus is compatible with microscale analysis. A complete proteic amino acid profile can be completed in less than 20 min by using a packed column or less than 10 min by using a capillary column in combination with an elevated oven temperature program rate. Physiological sample matrixes, which frequently contain a complex mixture of components, and thus require maximum resolution, can be assayed in less than 1 h using a program rate of 4 degrees C/min. A capillary column is recommended for this application. Capillary column chromatography, in combination with a nitrogen-specific detector, is useful for identifying and assaying nonproteic amino acids in physiological sample matrixes. Frequently, a prior cleanup of the sample can be avoided.  相似文献

The dielectric properties of gelatin in the glassy state were measured from 100 Hz to 1 MHz over a temperature range of -20 to 60 degrees C. Samples with different water contents were prepared by varying the drying time for desalted gelatin solution; they were confirmed to be in the glassy state from DSC measurements. The dielectric relaxation (the decrease in dielectric constant, epsilon', and the maximum of the dielectric loss, epsilon' ') was observed for each sample; the relaxation time tau was evaluated from the peak of epsilon' '. The activation energy E obtained from an Arrhenius plot of tau decreased with increasing water content. On the basis of the order of magnitude of E, the dielectric relaxation observed was considered to be beta-relaxation reflecting the local motion of molecules. E and tau seem to describe the enhancement effect of water on the mobility of gelatin molecules in the glassy state; tau and E are considered to be suitable parameters for the characterization of the plasticizing effect of water on a glassy material.  相似文献

Oxazolidine E, an aldehydic cross-linking agent, is used to impart hydrothermal stability to collagen. The purpose of this study was to investigate the exact nature of oxazolidine E induced cross-links with collagen by using synthetic peptides having sequence homology with collagen type I. Tandem mass spectrometry revealed the formation of methylol and Schiff-base adducts upon reaction of oxazolidine E with the peptides. This was confirmed by allowing the reaction to proceed under reducing conditions using cyanoborohydride. Mass spectrometry (MS)-MS analysis clearly showed interaction of tryptophan and lysine residues with oxazolidine E and demonstrated that arginine could be cross-linked with glycine in the presence of oxazolidine E through the formation of a methylene bridge. Collagen fibrils regenerated from monomers in the presence and absence of oxazolidine E were studied using atomic force microscopy to investigate morphological alterations. Regenerated fibrils showing the typical 65 nm D-banding pattern were obtained from those formed both in the presence and absence of oxazolidine E, and there was no evidence of a change in the D-periodicity of these fibrils. This indicated that oxazolidine E does not hinder collagen molecules from correctly aligning to form the quarter-stagger structure.  相似文献

The effect of annealing temperature (Ta) on the rheological behavior of 10 wt % rice starch suspension was investigated by the dynamic viscoelasticity, the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and the amount of leached out amylose and the swelling ratio of starch suspension. The rheological behaviors of the annealed samples are classified into three types in terms of Ta: Ta1, 48 and 55 degrees C, which are much lower than the gelatinization temperature, Tgel (=62 degrees C); Ta2, 58, 60, and 62 degrees C, which are almost the same as Tgel; and Ta3, 65, 68, 70, and 73 degrees C, which are much higher than Tgel. For the samples annealed at Ta2, the onset temperature of the storage and the loss moduli, G' and G', increased with increasing T(a), and G' and G" in the temperature range from 65 to 90 degrees C gradually increased though smaller than those for the nonannealed sample, the control. This can be understood by the partial gelatinization; i.e., the leached out amylose prevents further amylose from leaching out. The rheological property of the samples annealed at Ta1 is not so different from that of the control, and the samples annealed at Ta3 are almost gelatinized. The rheological behavior of starch suspension can be controlled by Ta.  相似文献

Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) were used to study changes in the conformation of globulin from common buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench) (BWG) under various environmental conditions. The IR spectrum of the native BWG showed several major bands from 1691 to 1636 cm(-1) in the amide I' region, and the secondary structure composition was estimated as 34.5% beta-sheets, 20.0% beta-turns, 16.0% alpha-helices, and 14.4% random coils. Highly acidic and alkaline pH conditions induced decreases in beta-sheet and alpha-helical contents, as well as in denaturation temperature (Td) and enthalpy of denaturation (DeltaH), as shown in the DSC thermograms. Addition of chaotropic salts (1.0 M) caused progressive decreases in ordered structures and thermal stability following the lyotropic series of anions. The presence of several protein structure perturbants also led to changes in IR band intensities and DSC thermal stabilities, suggesting protein unfolding. Intermolecular antiparallel beta-sheet (1620 and 1681 cm(-1)) band intensities started to increase when BWG was heated to 90 degrees C, suggesting the initiation of protein aggregation. Increasing the time of the preheat treatment (at 100 degrees C) caused progressive increases in Td and pronounced decreases in DeltaH, suggesting partial denaturation and reassociation of protein molecules.  相似文献

The distribution and effect of applied strain on the collagen fibrils that make up leather may have an important bearing on the ultimate strength and other physical properties of the material. While sections of ovine and bovine leather were being subjected to tensile strain up to rupture, synchrotron-based small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) spectra were recorded edge-on to the leather at points from the corium to the grain. Measurements of both fibril orientation and collagen d spacing showed that, initially, the fibers reorient under strain, becoming more aligned. As the strain increases (5-10% strain), further fibril reorientation diminishes until, at 37% strain, the d spacing increases by up to 0.56%, indicating that significant tensile forces are being transmitted to individual fibrils. These changes, however, are not uniform through the cross-section of leather and differ between leathers of different strengths. The stresses are taken up more evenly through the leather cross-section in stronger leathers in comparison to weaker leathers, where stresses tended to be concentrated during strain. These observations contribute to our understanding of the internal strains and structural changes that take place in leather under stress.  相似文献

The thermal and structural behaviors of anhydrous goat's milk fat (AGMF) have been determined as a function of temperature using a powerful technique allowing simultaneous time-resolved synchrotron X-ray diffraction as a function of temperature (XRDT) and high-sensivity differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurements from the same sample. This first paper, aiming at the characterization of the physical properties of AGMF, we examine crystalline organizations made by triacylglycerols (TG) upon slow cooling at /dT/dt/ = 0.1 degrees C/min from 45 to -20 degrees C in order to approach system equilibrium. Three overlapped exotherms were observed by DSC upon cooling, whereas four endotherms were found on the subsequent heating at 1 degrees C/min. XRDT evidenced that AGMF crystallizes under four different lamellar structures, two with double-chain length packings at 41.5 and 38.2 angstroms and two with triple-chain lengths of 72 and 64.7 angstroms stacking. Simultaneous wide-angle XRDT has shown that initial nucleation mainly occurs in a packing of beta' type from approximately 26 degrees C, although some transient presence of alpha was detected. The absence of polymorphic transition, on heating, until final melting (approximately 40 degrees C) demonstrated the relative stability of the structures formed.  相似文献

The thermal stability of phosphatidylcholine (PC) liposomes (colloidal dispersions of bilayer-forming polar lipids in aqueous solvents) in the presence and absence of the antimicrobial polypeptide nisin was evaluated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and low-intensity ultrasonic spectroscopy (US). PC liposome mixtures with varying acyl chain lengths (C16:0 and C18:0) were formed in buffer with or without entrapped nisin. Gel-to-liquid crystalline phase transition temperatures (T(M)) of liposomes determined from DSC thermograms were in excellent agreement with those determined by ultrasonic velocity and attenuation coefficient measurements recorded at 5 MHz. The dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) T(M) measured by DSC was approximately 41.3 and approximately 40.7 degrees C when measured by ultrasonic spectroscopy. The T(M) of distearoylphosphatidylcholine (DSPC) and DPPC/DSPC 1:1 liposomes was 54.3 and 54.9 degrees C and approximately 44.8 and approximately 47.3 degrees C when measured by DSC and US, respectively. The thermotropic stability generally increased upon addition of nisin. Analysis of the stepwise decrease in ultrasonic velocity with temperature indicated an increased compressibility corresponding to a loss of structure upon heating.  相似文献

It has long been recognized that limitations exist in the analytical methodology for amylose determination. This study was conducted to evaluate various amylose determination methods. Purified amylose and amylopectin fractions were obtained from corn, rice, wheat, and potato and then mixed in proportion to make 10, 20, 30, 50, and 80% amylose content starch samples for each source. These samples, considered amylose standards, were analyzed using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), high-performance size-exclusion chromatography (HPSEC), and iodine binding procedures to generate standard curves for each of the methods. A single DSC standard equation for cereal starches was developed. The standard curve of potato starch was significantly different. Amylose standard curves prepared using the iodine binding method were also similar for the cereal starches, but different for potato starch. An iodine binding procedure using wavelengths at 620 nm and 510 nm increased the precision of the method. When HPSEC was used to determine % amylose, calculations based on dividing the injected starch mass by amylose peak mass, rather than calculations based on the apparent amylose/amylopectin ratio, decreased the inaccuracies associated with sample dispersion and made the generation of a cereal amylose standard curve possible. Amylose contents of pure starch, starch mixtures from different sources with different amylose ranges, and tortillas were measured using DSC, HPSEC, iodine binding, and the Megazyme amylose/amylopectin kit. All the methods were reproducible (±3.0%). Amylose contents measured by these methods were significantly different (P < 0.05). Amylose measurements using iodine binding, DSC, and Megazyme procedures were highly correlated (correlation coefficient >0.95). DSC and traditional iodine binding procedures likely overestimated true amylose contents as residual butanol in the amylose standards caused interference. The modified two-wavelength iodine binding procedure seemed to be the most precise and generally applicable method. Each amylose determination method has its benefits and limitations.  相似文献

Fast skeletal light meromyosins (LMMs) of white croaker and walleye pollack were prepared in our expression system using Escherichia coli and determined for their polymer-forming ability and thermodynamic properties by using sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), respectively. White croaker LMM formed dimer by heating at 80 degrees C and showed only a single peak at 32.1 degrees C of temperature transition in DSC. On the other hand, walleye pollack LMM hardly formed polymer and showed four peaks at 27.7, 30.5, 35.8, and 43.9 degrees C. When Cys525 of white croaker LMM was replaced by alanine, this point-mutated LMM showed no change in its DSC profile but formed no dimer upon heating, suggesting a possible role of Cys525 in dimer formation. On the other hand, walleye pollack LMM where Cys491 was substituted by alanine changed its DSC profile, showing four peaks at 27.9, 29.1, 38.4, and 43.9 degrees C. However, this point-mutated LMM formed no dimer upon heating as in the case of native LMM. These results suggest that cysteine residue(s) participates in thermal gel formation of LMM when it locates in a suitable position of the sequence.  相似文献

Camellia oil is widely used in some parts of the world partly because of its high oxidative stability. The effect of heating a refined camellia oil for 1 h at 120 degrees C or 2 h at 170 degrees C with exogenous antioxidant, namely, caffeic acid and tyrosol, was studied. Parameters used to assess the effect of heating were peroxide and K values, volatile formation, and fatty acid profile. Of these, volatile formation was the most sensitive index of change as seen in the number of volatiles and the total area count of volatiles in gas chromatograms. Hexanal was generally the dominant volatile in treated and untreated samples with a concentration of 2.13 and 5.34 mg kg(-1) in untreated oils heated at 120 and 170 degrees C, respectively. The hexanal content was significantly reduced in heated oils to which tyrosol and/or caffeic acid had been added. Using volatile formation as an index of oxidation, tyrosol was the more effective antioxidant of these compounds. This is contradictory to generally accepted antioxidant structure-activity relationships. Changes in fatty acid profiles after heating for up to 24 h at 180 degrees C were not significant.  相似文献
