Abstract We report on the physicochemical changes of infant formula (IF) powder and its macronutrients (lactose, fat, proteins) under given storage conditions. Colloidal (particle size distribution, emulsion stability sedimentation), morphological (scanning electron microscopy), thermal (differential scanning calorimetry), structural (synchrotron X-ray diffraction) as well surface chemical (X-r...

Analytical ultracentrifugation remains pre-eminent among the methods used to study the interactions of macromolecules under physiological conditions. Recent developments in analytical procedures allow the high resolving power of sedimentation velocity methods to be coupled to sedimentation equilibrium approaches and applied to both static and dynamic associations. Improvements in global modelin...

Glutaminase-asparaginase from Pseudomonas 7A appears to have four subunits with a molecular weight of 36,000 +/- 500 by sedimentation equilibrium in 5.9 M guanidine HCl and 34,000 by amino acid analysis. Analytic sedimentation equilibrium of the native enzyme showed a molecular weight of 140,000 +/- 3,300 with no signs of association or dissociation. Moving boundary and zone sedimentation in bu...

Background & Aim:The main aim of this study was stabilizing D. Sophia beverage and reduce its sedimentation rate. Experimental: Xanthan and Carboxy methyl cellulose gums have been used in three levels (0.05, .01 and .02 gr/lit) and mixture of Guar-xanthan and carboxymethyl cellulose (each .1 g/l) and extracted dried gum from D. Sophia in (1, 2 an...
