Whereas tests (186) indicated that ampholytes were effective in skin cleansing for preoperative use, for wound cleansing, and as an antiseptic in the oral cavity (187), as well as other medical appHcations, the food and beverage industries have proved to be the principal employers of these compounds. Ampholytes are used as sanitizers and disinfectants, not as food preservatives. Low toxicity, absence of skin irritation, and noncorrosiveness, along with antimicrobial activity, has given ampholytes acceptance in dairies, meat plants, and the brewing and soft drink industries. These disinfectants have been manufactured and distributed in Europe and Japan, but not in the United States.

Bagley (1983) and Blanshard and Lillford (1987) dealing with qualitative structure-property relationships in meats, plant foods and baked products]. Evidence is now accumulating that structure does play a key role in controlling many other attributes important in foods beyond their basic physical or engineering properties. For example, structure is critical in texture perception (Hutchings and Lillford 1988), flavor release (Taylor 2002) and the bioavailability of some nutrients (Aguilera 2005).

Fecal characteristics like a low bulk, high pH and a high concentration of (secondary) bile acids observed in correlation studies, are also related to a high incidence of colonic cancer[4-7] For this reason we studied the effects on fecal bulk, defecation frequency, fecal pH and fecal bile acids of diets with different amounts and types of animal protein. The diets were chosen not only on account of differences in origin of protein, but also in order to provide customary diets containing meat, plant foods and milk-based products (lactovegetarian) or plant foods only (vegan).
