In this study, the effects of konjac glucomannan (KGM) at different concentrations on physiochemical and sensory properties soy protein isolate (SPI), pea (PPI), or peanut (PNPI) compound gels were investigated. The results revealed that when ratio PNPI to KGM was 90:10, denaturation temperature could be significantly enhanced 119.32°C by modification. Concerning textural microstructural featur...

With the sharp rise in global interest sustainability and environmental concerns, there is a growing demand replacing petroleum-derived raw materials with renewable plant-based production of polymers. In this study, two palm fatty acid polyesters were synthesized from palmitic stearic acids. Their chemical structures identified by FTIR 1H-NMR analysis. Both showed moderately high conversion rat...

Sago starch is usually chemically modified to overcome and improve the unstable properties of native sago starch during processing. In this study, sago starch was treated in hydrochloric acid in the presence of methanol, ethanol and 2-propanol at 45C for 1 hour. Granule size, granular structure and solubility of the modified starch were investigated. Results showed that recovery yields of the m...

BACKGROUND Knowledge of the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) amino acid (AA) sequence combined with crystallographic structural data may enable prediction of the relative immunogenicity of individual donor/recipient HLA mismatches. METHODS Multiple sera from 32 highly sensitized patients awaiting kidney transplantation were screened using Luminex/single-antigen beads to determine the HLA-specifi...

OBJECTIVE To study detail microscopic evaluation and physiochemical analysis of Dillenia indica (D. indica) leaf. METHODS Fresh leaf sample and dried power of the leaf were studied macroscopically and microscopically. Preliminary phytochemical investigation of plant material was done. Other WHO recommended parameters for standardizations were also performed. RESULTS The detail microscopy re...

BACKGROUND We have shown previously that human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I immunogenicity can be predicted by the number, position, and physiochemical differences of polymorphic amino acids (AAs). We have now modeled the structural and physiochemical polymorphisms of HLA class II alloantigens and correlated these with humoral alloimmunity in sensitized patients awaiting kidney transplantati...

This study was aimed at determining the effect of irradiation of shell eggs on the physiochemical and functional properties of liquid egg white during storage. Color and textural parameters of irradiated liquid egg white after cooking were also determined. Shell eggs were irradiated at 0, 2.5, 5, or 10 kGy using a linear accelerator. Egg white was separated from yolk and stored in at 4°C up to ...

Objective(s): Nanoparticles offer an attractive platform for drug delivery through a wide variety of the body's physiological barriers. Furthermore, modification of nanoparticle surface with moeites such as Poloxamer188 can enhance their accumulation and localization at disease site. In this work, we investigated the physiochemical effect of a scavenger receptor (SR-BI) interac...
