Maillard conjugates are formed by covalent bonds between proteins and polysaccharides. Understanding the functional properties of conjugates, including emulsifying antioxidant properties, can be crucial when used in processed foods. This study aimed to manufacture whey protein isolate (WPI)/Inulin investigate how manufacturing variables heating temperature pH affect conjugates. The surface were...

heart disease - cardiovascular, cancer and obesity are the main causes of death and there are direct relationship between the consumption of high-fat foods and the incidence of these diseases. therefore the demand for low-fat food products and probiotics has been dramatically increased. in this study, the effect of different levels of three hydrocolloids (inulin, chitosan and xanthan) at three ...

A modified fermentation procedure based on one described by Homer Smith in his textbook was used to eliminate glucose interference in the automated detrmination of inulin. The manifold of Fjeldbo and Stamey [J. Lab. Clin. Med. 72, 353 (1968)] was modified to enable us to insert the fermentation procedure without sacrificing precision in continuous-flow analysis for inulin. Analytical recoveries...

The hydrolysis of inulin from Jerusalem artichoke (JA) slices by HCl under different regimes of temperature and hold (contact time) time was investigated. Final reducing sugars concentration in the hydrolyzates depended on temperature, pH, hydromodule (JA:water) and hold time. Acid hydrolysis at higher temperature and longer hold time increased the degradation of fructan to fructose and increas...

BACKGROUND Glomerular filtration rate in patients can be determined by estimating the plasma clearance of inulin with the single-injection method. In this method, a single bolus injection of inulin is administered and several blood samples are collected. For practical and convenient application of this method in children, it is important that a minimal number of samples are drawn. The aim of th...

an in vivo experiment was conducted to study the effects of probiotic bacillus coagulans spores, with and without prebiotic, inulin, on gastrointestinal (gi) microbiota of healthy rats and its potentiality to survive in the gi tract. forty-eight male wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups (n=12) and fed as follows: standard diet (control), standard diet supplied with 5% w/w long cha...

Complex fermentable carbohydrates, such as inulin-type fructans have been shown to improve Mg2+ absorption in the hindgut and body stores. The mechanisms for this are not well understood. The newly identified transient receptor potential melastatin 6 and 7 (TRPM6 and TRPM7) channels have been shown to function in active epithelial Mg2+ transport in the apical membrane of epithelial cells, the k...

A method for the extraction and quantitation of 3H inulin from tissues is described. This method does not require either combustion technics or time-consuming acid extraction procedures. Inulin is as soluble in the liquid scintillation medium as it is in water. Therefore, hot-water tissue extracts without further treatment were employed to quantitate l1 inulin. Nearly 100% recovery was obtained...

Simultaneous determination of glomerular filtration rate by inulin clearance may be required during studies of the renal excretion of the bacterial polysaccharide, dextran. This involves the estimation of both inulin and dextran in the same plasma and urine samples. Unfortunately, dextran interferes with the analysis of inulin, both by the method of Alving, Flox, Pitesky, and Miller (1) and by ...

This study investigates the effects of pulsed electric fields (PEF) and freeze thawing (FT) pretreatments on juice yield quality from chicory by pressing (P). The four different modes (P, PEF-P, FT-P P-PEF-P) were compared. mode, PEF conditions, cossettes size yield, total soluble matter (°Bx), conductivity, pH, turbidity in expressed juices evaluated. kinetics for also investigated. For studie...
