In the context of wastewater treatment with microalgae cultures, coagulation-flocculation followed by sedimentation is one of the suitable options for microalgae harvesting. This process is enabled by the addition of chemicals (e.g. iron). However, in a biorefinery perspective, it is important to avoid possible contamination of downstream products caused by chemicals addition. The aim of this s...

Lipids, proteins and starch are the main storage products in oat seeds. As a first step in elucidating the regulatory mechanisms behind the deposition of these compounds, two different oat varieties, 'Freja' and 'Matilda', were analysed during kernel development. In both cultivars, the majority of the lipids accumulated at very early stage of development but Matilda accumulated about twice the ...

Rice is predominantly a starch richendosperm portionof paddy (Oryza sativa). It is an important cereal used as staple food by over half of the world population. About 90% of dry matter of milled rice is starch and the rest are non-starch components like protein, lipids and ash. Most of the rice based products in Indian sub continent especially in southern part of India are made from rice flour ...

Background Exotic tropical fruits and plants are highly consumed in Brazil and due to globalization these products are being exported worldwide. We have recently described the first manioc allergen Man e 5 that cross-reacts with Hev b 5 from latex. There are more than 70 products made up manioc starch such as drugs, soaps and fabrics and manioc allergic patients present from mild to severe reac...

Mocaf (Modified Cassava Flour) was a product derived from fermented cassava flour. has characteristics similar to wheat flour and can be used for processed products such as wet cakes, kue kering, sweet bread, instant noodles substitutes certain products, vermicelli, brownies. The problem that occurs the price of continues increase along with high demand, so is expensive. aim study analyze nutri...

carrot contains valuable and healthy material. beta carotene pigments and antioxidants on it are so effective against free radicals in body. formulation of novel fruity products is object of some investigations and in parallel of it, have been used different compositions of hydrocolloids and others additional material in its formulations. in addition we can use the low edible quality of carrots...

This paper examines the properties in soluble form of two isoforms of starch synthase. One of these, granule-bound starch synthase I (GBSSI), is responsible for the synthesis of amylose inside the amylopectin matrix of the starch granule in vivo. The other, starch synthase II (SSII), is involved in amylopectin synthesis. Both isoforms can use amylopectin and malto-oligosaccharide as substrates ...

Pyrococcus furiosus utilizes starch and its degradation products, such as maltose, as primary carbon sources, but the pathways by which these alpha-glucans are processed have yet to be defined. For example, its genome contains genes proposed to encode five amylolytic enzymes (including a cyclodextrin glucanotransferase [CGTase] and amylopullulanase), as well as two transporters for maltose and ...

7 Thickness perception of starch-thickened products during eating has been linked to starch viscosity 8 and salivary amylase activity. Calcium is an essential cofactor for -amylase and there is anecdotal 9 evidence that adding extra calcium affects amylase activity in processes like mashing of beer. The 10 aims of this paper were to 1) investigate the role of salivary calcium on -amylase acti...
