The effect of freeze-thawing on the size of egg yolk phosphatidylcholine (EggPC) vesicles in the presence of 0-40 mol% distearoylphosphatidylethanolamine-polyethylene glycol 2000 (DSPE-PEG) was studied. Mean diameters of the vesicles fell into a range of 80-150 nm after 10 times freeze-thawing in spite of their original size. In the process of freeze-thawing, two opponent events, one is fission...

OBJECTIVE The effects of aging and freezing/thawing sequence on color, physicochemical, and enzymatic characteristics of two beef muscles (Mm. gluteus medius, GM and biceps femoris, BF) were evaluated. METHODS Beef muscles at 3 d postmortem were assigned to four different combinations of aging and freezing/thawing sequence as follows; aging at 2°C for 3 wk (A3, never-frozen control), freezing...

Background: Optimal thawing rate is critical for quality and fertilizability of frozen -thawed spermatozoa. Kinetic parameters are the most important factors which are affected by thawing rate so, that have close relation between kinetic parameters and fertility of the spermatozoa. Tris - egg yolk have been widely used for cryopreservation of the buffalo and other species semen. According to ou...

nowadays frp composite sheets for structural repair, as an efficient and cost-effective technique for restoring and upgrading the load bearing of concrete structures are have become very common. in addition to high strength to weight ratio and the use of frp sheets while structure is in use, these sheets have good fatigue resistance. furthermore, their easy application is also an undeniable adv...

Changes in physico-chemical properties and m enzymatic activities of some muscle proteins by freeze-thawing or freeze-drying were measured for the purpose of clarifying the mechanism of protein denaturation by freeze-thawing and freezedrying. The results showed following: Freeze-thawing unfolded the conformation of the rod-like proteins and decreased their enzymatic activities. The two effects ...
