Abstract The nitrogen solubility index of proteins from Spirulina platensis as a function pH in the range 1 to 12 has been determined both water and different concentrations sodium chloride using spray dried samples. Solubility characteristics show maximum 8 10 6.0 ± 0.5 M chloride. ultraviolet visible spectra have maxima at 285 620 nm, respectively. Fluorescence emission spectrum shows 340 nm arising tryptophanyl groups. sedimentation velocity experiment two major fractions with coefficient...
Bamboo shoot has attracted significant attention worldwide due to its nutritive value and health promoting properties. But, a limitation is the short shelf life of shoots which requires be processed for long-term usage. Processing brings about changes in organoleptic physicochemical qualities along with nutritional values but such studies are limited. The aim present study was investigate effects boiling, salting, fermenting drying on organoleptic, an edible bamboo Dendrocalamus hamiltonii....
