Protein-Based Substitutes. Several plant and animal-based proteins have been used in processed meat products to increase yields, reduce reformulation costs, enhance specific functional properties, and decrease fat content. Examples of these protein additives are wheat flour, wheat gluten, soy flour, soy protein concentrate, soy protein isolate, textured soy protein, cottonseed flour, oat flour, com germ meal, nonfat dry milk, caseinates, whey proteins, surimi, blood plasma, and egg proteins. Most of these protein ingredients can be included in cooked sausages with a maximum level allowed up to 3.5% of the formulation, except soy protein isolate and caseinates are restricted to 2% (44). 

With growing computer power, the abilities to simulate functional properties and dynamics of fast biological reactions are increasing. Today molecular dynamics can be traced over a time range of about 1 ms. Relevant dynamics of fast biological processes (vision and...

In order to anticipate possible modes of regulation of cytoskeleton dynamics in vivo, it is necessary (a) to identify the kinetic intermediates involved in the polymerization process and to characterize their structural and functional properties and (b) to define the essential elementary steps in the hydrolysis process.

The protein concentration in the field pea proteinate was only 87.7% due to the presence of significant quantities of ash, lipid and carbohydrate (Table I). Both refined starches were relatively pure, the protein levels being only 0.5%. The merits of producing protein and starch isolates as opposed to concentrates by the dry process would depend on their relative functional properties and the requirements of the end-user.

As a start to a tetralogy on dendrimers, the volumes Dendrimers and Den-drimers II have already appeared in print. This mini-series continues now with the latest volume Dendrimers III and will be completed by the fourth volume Dendrimers IV within the next few months. Volume III offers dendrimers based on novel design concepts leading to highly stiffened and shape persistent dendritic structures as well as to new families of rather soft and floppy dendrimers and focuses on new functional properties and materials aspects. As an example, the question of host-guest interactions with dendrimers, whose existence has been under intense debate for a long time, finds its final - and positive - answer in this volume. As a consequence, dendrimers clearly represent a subset of supramolecular chemistry. 

Separators are characterized by structural and functional properties the former describes what they are and the latter how they perform. The structural properties include chemical (molecular) and microcrystalline nature, thickness, pore size, pore size distribution, porosity, and various chemical and physical properties such as chemical stability, and electrolyte uptake. The functional properties of interest are electrical resistivity, permeability, and transport number. It is useful to characterize separator materials in terms of their structural and functional properties and to establish a correlation of these properties with their performance in batteries. A variety of techniques are used to evaluate separators. Some of these techniques are discussed in this section. 

However, in order to achieve these objectives a good interpretation of corporate business needs into achievable R D objectives is essential. In some cases a supplier of a raw material, intermediate or component may choose to forward-integrate their business into production of the finished product. In other cases a manufacturer may wish to backwards-integrate into the production of the raw material(s) required for its current product(s). In either case it is obvious that in order to achieve success a company must make products available to its customers with useful functional properties and at a price that allows cost-effective use of that product in the customer s own products. That is, the product must give the customer s products a competitive advantage.

The present review demonstrates that EOs and their components have many functional properties and exert their action in mammals as well as in other organisms (insects, fungi, bacteria and viruses). The synergistic effect of EO components is a promising field that could lead to the optimisation of a given bioac-... 

The dynamic mechanical behavior of most homogeneous and heterogeneous solid and molten polymeric systems or composite formulations can be determined by DMA. These polymeric systems may contain chemical additives, including fillers, reinforcements, stabilizers, plasticizers, flame retardants, impact modifiers, processing aids, and other chemical additives, which are added to the polymeric system to impart specific functional properties and which could affect the process-ability and performance. 

Discarded fish bones and cutoffs may contain considerable amounts of muscle proteins. These muscle proteins are nutritionally valuable and easily digestible with well-balanced amino acid composition (Venugopal et al., 1996). Therefore, fish proteins derived from seafood processing by-products can be hydrolyzed enzymatically to recover protein. Protein hydrolysates from several marine species have been analyzed for their nutritional and functional properties, and researches have mainly explored the possibility of obtaining biologically active peptides (Benkajul and Morrissey, 1997). Moreover, skipjack tuna muscle (Kohama et al., 1988), sardine muscle (Bougatef et al., 2008), and shark meat (Wu et al., 2008) have been used to separate potential peptides.

Considering the limitations presented thus far that are inherent in interpreting data reported in the literature, perhaps the pattern of response rather than the individual measurements is of importance in predicting functionality. Information will be presented that relates water absorption to other functional properties and examines the effect of the physical and chemical environment on the water absorption response patterns of various protein ingredients. This presentation will be brief and with limited explanation. Original references may be consulted by those desiring greater depth. 

Development of a model must be based on a theory, or theories, concerning the effects of the factors on the functional property being studied. Such theories, or hypotheses, can be based on prior research results, theories developed by others, collection and preliminary analysis of data and, perhaps, intuition. In sum, the hypotheses are implied from what is already known or hypothesized. A prime requirement for use of regression is that there must be some way of objectively measuring levels of the functional property and of the factors in order to provide data to be used in estimation of the model coefficients.
