To evaluate the importance of protein digestion rate on protein deposition, we characterized leucine kinetics after ingestion of "protein" meals of identical amino acid composition and nitrogen contents but of different digestion rates. Four groups of five or six young men received an L-[1-13C]leucine infusion and one of the following 30-g protein meals: a single meal of slowly digested casein ...

Improper disposal of lignocellulosic wastes may produce a large quantity greenhouse gases and pollute the environment. Through anaerobic digestion processes, can be recycled to clean renewable biogas. However, lignin in lignocellulose limits its potential as such biomass resource, efficacy biogas production is not satisfactory although recent research efforts have attempted address this issue. ...

Nucleic prepared from mouse submandibular salivary gland show marked fragility during isolation. Hwever, intact nuclei relatively free from cytoplasmic contamination were obtained by homogenization in buffers containing 0.88 M-sucrose, Ca2+, spermine, spermidine and the proteinase inhibitor aprotinin, followed by centrifugation through 2.2 M-sucrose. The kinetics of digestion by the micrococcal...

This paper presents the design and the analysis of some adaptive nonlinear control strategies for a class of depollution fermentation processes that are carried out in a continuous stirred tank bioreactor. The controllers design is based on the input-output linearization technique. The resulted control methods are applied in depollution control problem in the case of the anaerobic digestion bio...

The speed of protein digestion impacts on postprandial protein anabolism. After exercise or in the elderly, fast proteins stimulate protein synthesis more efficiently than slow proteins. It has been shown that meat might be a source of fast proteins. However, cooking temperature, acting on the macrostructure and microstructure of the meat could affect both the speed, and efficiency, of protein ...

Advanced dynamic anaerobic digestion models, such as ADM1, requires both detailed organic matter characterisation and intimate knowledge of the involved metabolic pathways. In the current study, a methodology for municipal sludge characterization previously developed is used to describe two key parameters: biodegradability and bioaccessibility of organic matter. The methodology is based on coup...

Native cuticle collagen, obtained from Nereis virens, was incubated with purified bacterial collagenase (EC 3.4.4.19). The kinetics of proteolysis were monitored by viscometry, in parallel with similar digestions of calf skin collagen. Comparison of the kinetics of digestion of the two collagens, at similar enzyme to substrate ratios (w/w), showed that the native cuticle collagen was relatively...
