Mechanical tissues

Place the tube in an ice bath and homogenize the meat sample with a mechanical tissue homogenizer for 30 sec. 

Tissue slices have been used for several decades to study basic pathways of intermediary metabolism as well as hepatotoxicity (46-48). However, procurement of the slices was performed by handheld instruments, and therefore the quality of the slices tended to vary between different preparations as well as between different laboratories (49). It was not until 1985 that the first paper described the development of a mechanical tissue sheer, where it was possible to obtain reproducible slices of specified thickness (50). More recently, this model has gained popularity and acceptance. There are now two commercially available instruments to produce slices of reproducible thickness, the Krumdieck sheer (Alabama Research and Development Corp., Munford, Alabama, U.S.) and the Brendel-Vitron sheer (Vitron Inc., Tucson, Arizona, U.S.) (see Ref. 49 for a...

The effects of factors like package characteristics, gas concentrations, and so on on the MA vary with the type of commodity and have been extensively reported. However, the parameters as the plant species, variety, cultural practices, maturity level at harvest, harvesting mechanism, tissue type, and postharvest handling, and so on, also affect the response of the stored produce to the modified atmosphere, whieh are difficult to define.

It is well known that the two-carbon units for condensation in de novo fatty acid synthesis are provided as malonate. A specific transacylase transfers the malonate from coenzyme A to ACP. Malonyl-CoA ACP transacyl-ases have been purified from a number of sources including leaf and seed tissues as well as the cyanobacterium Anabaena variabilis. The enzymes usually have masses of about 40 kDa and appear to use a random sequence mechanism. Tissue-specific isoforms have been reported in some instances though their significance is not known.
