Modeling Modes of Hunter-gatherer Food Storage

thinking about the economics of huntergatherer food storage, this critical component of many foraging economies and important factor in the evolution of complex social systems remains poorly understood, leading Kuijt (2009:641) to recently lament that “archaeologists have yet to develop a detailed understanding of the scale of economic contributions of food storage in preagriculturalist communi...

Physical-mechanical modifications of eggs for food-processing during storage.

Physical-mechanical properties of egg constituents and their modifications during storage and poststorage greatly influence the efficiency of food processing, such as the separation of white and yolk by mechanical shelling. Thick albumen height, Haugh unit, yolk index and vitelline membrane-yolk system strength of eggs from Hy-Line White and Lohmann Brown hens were analyzed during 7 mo of stora...

2S Albumin Storage Proteins: What Makes them Food Allergens?

2S albumin storage proteins are becoming of increasing interest in nutritional and clinical studies as they have been reported as major food allergens in seeds of many mono- and di-cotyledonous plants. This review describes the main biochemical, structural and functional properties of these proteins thought to play a role in determining their potential allergenicity. 2S albumins are considered ...

Analytic control law for a food storage room

Abstract A bulk of agricultural products, such as potatoes, onions, or fruits is normally stored in a climate controlled room. The products produce heat due to respiration. A ventilator blows cooled air around to keep the products at a steady temperature to prevent spoilage. We model this room by a set of nonlinear coupled partial differential equations (p.d.e.’s). Due to the complexity of this...
