Texture is an important property for most food products and is usually characterised by different rheological methods together with data from microstructural investigations. However, the correlation between results from rheological measurements and microstructural data is not always unambiguous. Therefore the demand of developing new types of rheological measurements as well as structural measu...

OBJECTIVE Little is known about cow's milk protein intolerance (CMPI) in India. This study was aimed at finding CMPI cases and determining the role of IgG anti-beta-lactoglobulin antibody in the diagnosis of this condition in India. METHODS From June 2004 to December 2005, 30 children with presumptive diagnosis of CMPI, based on endoscopic rectal or duodenal biopsy showing excess eosinophils ...

Ten lines of transgenic mice secreting transmissible gastroenteritis coronavirus (TGEV) neutralizing recombinant monoclonal antibodies (rMAbs) into the milk were generated. The rMAb light- and heavy-chain genes were assembled by fusing the genes encoding the variable modules of the murine MAb 6A.C3, which binds an interspecies conserved coronavirus epitope essential for virus infectivity, and a...

We have investigated the thermodynamic and dynamic behavior of multistranded β-lactoglobulin protein fibrils in water, by combining static, dynamic, and depolarized dynamic light scattering (SLS, DLS, DDLS), small angle neutron scattering (SANS), rheology, and cryogenic transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM). We focus on the region of the phase diagram at which ionic strength and concentra...

multilocus variable number tandem repeat (vntr) analysis (mlva) is a new typing method with several advantages compared to other methods. dissemination of shigella is highly significant in developing countries. whilst shigella is becoming increasingly important as an etiologic agent of pediatric shigellosis in iran, little is known about the genetic diversity of the local strains. therefore, th...
