Food transformation process

In general, the major consequences of food thermal processing, either at laboratory or commercial scales, on carotenoids are the transformation of the 5,6-epoxy to the 5,8-furanoid rings, trans- to cis- isomerization and oxidation. In addition, independently of the food matrix or thermal... 

In the field of bioremediation, oxidoreductases are considered to be excellent biocatalysts for environmentally friendly processes. Laccases and peroxidases are widely used to treat effluents from pulp/cotton mills, food/fruit processing plants and breweries [1, 2, 37]. Laccases, peroxidases and other oxygenases are also being studied for their abihty to degrade hazardous coal substances, especially the sulfur-containing components, and in the treatment of industrial waste and contaminated soil and water in the transformation of xenobiotics, polycycHc aromatic hydrocarbons and other pollutants (biodetoxification and biodecontamination)...

Enzymes are the active components in the cells, where they induce the chemical transformations. They can be removed from the cells without loss of activity and sold as separate products. These isolated enzymes are used in many industrial processes, especially in food production. They are more stable and easier to handle than the original microorganisms from which they were isolated. The enzymes are often obtained from the waste bacterial biomass that remains after food fermentation processes. 

The linked metaphors of alchemy, food and intoxicants all point to the transformative process of which the Baudelairean text is the result. What I have called Baudelaire s aesthetics of amalgame is based on the encounter of his and another s poetic sensitivities and concerns, and of his manipulation and transmutation of the text of the Other. Translation becomes, therefore, the tip of the intertextual iceberg it makes the transformation of the source text more visible and dramatizes the passage from one voice to another. 

K-carrageenan is a natural polymer, widely used in the food industry, which is extremely compatible with microbial cells, ensuring high viability after the encapsulation process. However, the resulting gel structures have limited physical stability, upon the stress conditions experimented in food transformation, requiring its blending with other polymers.

Cluster analysis, richness and biodiversity indexes derived from denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis fingerprints of bacterial communities demonstrate that traditional maize fermentations are driven by the transformation process.

Recent results, which have been confirmed by MS, indicate that DMN does occur in certain food products at the 5-10 pg kg level. Investigations undertaken on the occurrence of nitrosamines (DMNA, DENA) in meat and meat products have assessed concentration levels of 10pgkg , although large amounts can be found as a result of various transformation processes (in fried bacon or smoked meat). A precursor of DMNA is the amino acid glycine. It may also originate from quaternary amino salts such as choline, acetylocholine, and betaine, which are common in meat. 

A key component of this transformation process was the lean supply chain project for pineapple which was funded imder the Austrahan government s National Food Industry Strategy (AFFA,... 

A process plant is an industrial facility which transforms chemically and/or physically bulk raw or partly processed material into a useful new product. Such plants are to be found in a wide range of industries, including oil and gas, chemicals, petrochemicals, water supply and food. The process plant, properly speaking, is supported by utilities, off-sites and infrastructure to form a coherent functional whole. 

Like Glisson, Charleton explained the origin of blood by the action of the vital spirit which, according to him, is the outcome of a transformation of the spirits contained in food. This process is described by Charleton as follows ... 

Sodium nitrate is also used in formulations of heat-transfer salts for he at-treatment baths for alloys and metals, mbber vulcanization, and petrochemical industries. A mixture of sodium nitrate and potassium nitrate is used to capture solar energy (qv) to transform it into electrical energy. The potential of sodium nitrate in the field of solar salts depends on the commercial development of this process. Other uses of sodium nitrate include water (qv) treatment, ice melting, adhesives (qv), cleaning compounds, pyrotechnics, curing bacons and meats (see Food additives), organics nitration, certain types of pharmaceutical production, refining of some alloys, recovery of lead, and production of uranium.
