The goal of these experiments was to determine the effects of CaCl2 and NaCl injections on spent fowl meat tenderness and oxidative stability. Two hundred spent Leghorn hens were used in this two-part study. In the first experiment, breast fillets from 160 spent Leghorn hens were harvested immediately after death, injected with 0.3 M CaCl2 or H2O, vacuum tumbled, and either cooked immediately a...

Twenty USDA Standard beef inside rounds were purchased from the Excel Corp. in Plainview, TX to determine the effects of CaCl2 injection and degree of doneness on inside round roasts. Inside rounds were halved and each half served either as a control or was injected with CaCl2. Each half was cut into four sections with one used for retail case display and the other three subjected to cooking at...

Ovine carcasses were arterially infused with a volume equal to 10% of the live weight after electrical stimulation. The infusion solutions contained .075 M, .15 M or .3 M calcium chloride. Results indicated that .3 M calcium chloride treatment was the most effective concentration of CaCl2 to reduce the shear force value measured at 24 h postmortem. To examine the contribution of ionic strength ...

Glycosaminoglycans (GAG) of bovine cornea were sequentially extracted by 0.15 M NaCl and by 1 M CaCl2, pH 8. The amounts of hexosamine (HexN) and hexuronic acid (HexUA), specific hexoses (Hex), and protein were determined in the extracts. The ultrastructure of the corneal stroma after NaCl and NaCl/CaCl2 extraction was also studied. Approximately 70% of the Hex-HexN extractable by 0.15 M NaCl i...

The effects of changed ionic environments on the canine taste responses to sugars were examined by recording the activity of the chorda tympani nerve. a) The responses to various sugars were greatly enhanced by the presence of salts having monovalent cations such as Na+, K+, choline+, or Tris+. The responses to sugars were suppressed by high concentrations of salts. (b) The presence of 100 mM N...

Calcium alginate membrane has great potential for membrane separation technology. The polymer frameworks of the membrane were successfully regulated by the mass fraction of homopolymeric blocks of -L-guluronic acid (FGG) in the entire molecular chain of alginate and the additive CaCl2 as a cross-linker. The mechanical strength can be controlled by regulated the FGG and CaCl2 concentration. Sele...

UNLABELLED The effects of calcium chloride (CaCl2 ) and calcium lactate on maintaining textural and sensory quality of fresh-cut "Kent" and "Tommy Atkins" mangos and determination of treatments preferred by consumers were investigated. Mango cubes (1.5 × 1.5 × 1.5 cm) were subjected to different CaCl2 and calcium lactate concentrations (0 M, 0.068 M, 0.136 M, 0.204 M) and dip times (0, 1, 2.5, ...

When purified antihemophilic factor (Factor VIII) was rechromatographed on 4% agarose in 0.15 M NaCl or 1.0 M NaCl, a single protein peak, containing both procoagulant activity and von Willebrand factor activity, as defined by ristocetin-induced platelet aggregation, was eluted in the void volume. Purified Factor VIII immediately lost about 30% of its procoagulant activity when dissolved in 0.2...

Grain-finished Hereford x Angus steers (n = 36) were assigned to one of three treatmentgroups. Immediately after jugular exsanguination, 12 steers were infused at 10% of live weight via the left carotid artery with a solution developed by MPSC, Inc. (St. Paul, MN) consisting of 98.52% water, 0.97% saccharides, 0.23% sodium chloride, and 0.28% phosphate blend (MPSC); 12 steers were infused at 10...

potassium (k) is an element essential for plant growth, playing a significant role in physiological and biochemical processes in plant. the relationship between a soil testing extractant vs. plant nutrient uptake should be a determining parameter in the selection of a soil testing method. the objective of this study was to evaluate different extractants employed for extracting available k in 10...
