Thermal, functional and nutritional properties of the main protein fractions a isolate chia seed from state Jalisco, Mexico, were studied by differential scanning calorimetry, gelling, foaming, water-holding capacity (WHC) oil-holding capacity, amino acid profile, chemical score in vitro digestibility tests. The showed good WHC (4.06 g/g) excellent oil-retention capacities (4.04 g/g), making it attractive as an additive bakery products food emulsions. It also contained high amounts glutamic...
The lipid fraction of Jalisco and Sinaloa chia seeds was analyzed for oil content, fatty acids, squalene phytosterols. mean content from these two regions significantly (p ≤ 0.05) different, but with a similar composition α-linolenic, linoleic, oleic, palmitic stearic acids. Total phytosterols in the ranged 7 to 17 g/kg. β-sitosterol accounted up 74% total unsaponified fraction. contained less than 0.5 g/kg squalene. is an attractive source ω-3 linolenic acid poor
Phylogenetic analyses, from polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-amplified 12S rRNA and 18S gene sequences cochineal insects of the genus Dactylopius present in Mexico, showed that D. ceylonicus, confusus, opuntiae are closely related. coccus constitutes a separate clade, tomentosus is most distantly Bacterial 16S all species sampled common &bgr;-proteobacteria, related to Azoarcus, also found eggs bacteriocytes coccus. We propose name "Candidatus Dactylopiibacterium carminicum" for this...
Surfactant-polymer mixtures are common in food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical products. These components can interact with each other. The interactions depend on the type of polymer surfactant, purity ingredients, ionic content their concentration. Therefore, data presented here provide valuable information that could be useful for those working these different applications, particularly blends polyelectrolytes counterions. This article contains experimental about physicochemical...
