The aim of this study was to investigate the effect multi-frequency power ultrasound (sweeping frequency and pulsed (SFPU) sequential dual (SDFU)) on enzymolysis corn gluten meal (CGM) structures major protein fractions (zein, glutelin) CGM. results showed that pretreatments improved significantly (P < 0.05) degree hydrolysis conversion rate changes in UV–Vis spectra, fluorescence emission surface hydrophobicity (H0), content SH SS groups indicated unfolding zein glutelin by ultrasound....
Abstract BACKGROUND The disadvantages which stem from the use of traditional enzymolysis protein has necessitated need to employ sweeping frequency and pulsed ultrasound (SFPU) in pretreatment rapeseed prior proteolysis order bring about improvement efficiency. Further, determine mechanism ultrasound‐accelerated RP , effects SFPU on kinetics, thermodynamics, molecular conformation microstructure were investigated. RESULTS Kinetic studies showed that improved by decreasing apparent constant K...
A scheme for preparing milk ACE inhibitory peptides by in vitro proteolysis and simulated gastrointestinal digestion was constructed. The ultrasonic assisted pretreatment used to improve the enzymolysis of protein. in-situ real-time infrared establish monitoring model enzymatic process. Results showed that under conditions single frequency 28 kHz, ultrasound time 40 min, power density 20 W/L, protein concentration 34 g/L, batch ratio 2:4 initial temperature 30 °C, inhibition rate gastric...
Microwave-assisted extraction (MAE), which is a known method for the of phenolic compounds from plants, was employed to extract polyphenols in Jerusalem artichoke tuber (JAT) using response surface methodology optimized conditions microwave power (MP), extraction-time (TE) and temperature (Temp). The MAE used improve yield JAT. ethanolic extracts JAT obtained by were quantitatively analyzed total polyphenol content (TPC), flavonoid (TFC) 2, 2′-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), ferric...
In 1983, Ghana embarked on a program of structural adjustment under the auspices World Bank and International Monetary Fund, to resuscitate economy foster development. This paper utilizes Lagos Plan Action, comprehensive, continent-wide effort African-led policy strategy for economic development African continent, examine contribution an integrated in Ghana. Adjustment is examined as form transformation, evidenced by emergent intranational (intra- inter-sectoral) international linkages...

Since the early 1980s, most Sub-Saharan African countries have resorted to structural adjustment programs reform their ailing economies. Adjustment, however, may provide a convenient means for governments of adjusting economies and international capital meet current economic political interests, usually by sacrificing physical environment, with huge environmental costs country. This paper uses Ghana's forestry sector, which has been characterized dramatic increase in woodexports since...
Many reports claim the existence of athermal effects in microwave-induced reactions, and this challenge assumption that thermal effect (heating) is sole factor microwave heating. Therefore, Maillard reaction d-glucose/glycine degradation polysaccharide from Porphyra yezoensis (PSPY) were investigated. Browning reactions monitored by measuring heating rate, UV-absorbance brown color, UV-vis synchronous fluorescence spectra, GC/MS analysis intrinsic viscosity degradation. Heating solution...

In order to avoid the discomfort of digesting milk protein and make full use gastrointestinal digestive function, a macromolecular peptide was prepared with ACE inhibitory activity after digestion as index.
Aims: The aim of the study was to evaluate physicochemical, sensory and functional properties coconut flour (CF), wheat composite (CWCF) Cake produced from CF CWCF.
 Methodology: Flour prepared matured ripe fruit (CF). It then blend with (WF) into produce cake. CWCF were subjected proximate composition analyses. Also, physical properties, attributes cakes determined.
 Results: moisture content ranged 4.5 9.04 g/100 g, ash 4.10 6.41 g dietary fiber 11.16 g. exhibited a higher (87.1±...
Like many other Sub-Saharan African countries, Ghana implemented an orthodox Structural Adjustment Programme (SAP), to resuscitate its ailing economy, in the early 1980s. Subsequently, there has been a dramatic expansion production and export of processed wood. Based on empirical study Ghana's formal wood processing industry, this paper discusses various determinants that have combined boost export-oriented output particularly first decade programme, assesses extent which SAP-based policy...
The over-reliance of the food industry in Ghana on imported gums ultimately increases final cost processed food. Gums produced by some trees have not been exploited commercially, probably due to lack data properties which influence their application industry. This study was therefore undertaken assess suitability obtained from Cashew, Albizia, and Khaya applications, using Acacia gum as a control. studied include organoleptic, pH, solubility, viscosity, swelling power, water binding...
