M.p. 234-235 C. Hydrolyses to aspartic acid. L-asparagine can be prepared from lupin seedlings, and DL-asparagine is synthesised from ammonia and maleic anhydride. L-asparagine is very widely distributed in plants, being found in all the Leguminosae and Gramineae, and in many other seeds, roots and buds. 

Seed-Meal Concentrates and Isolates. Seed-meal protein products include flours, concentrates, and isolates, particularly soy protein products. These can be used as extenders for meat, seafood, poultry, eggs, or cheese (see Soybeans and other oilseeds). Detailed information on soybean and other seed-meal production processes is available (13,14,18). 

Deamidation of soy and other seed meal proteins by hydrolysis of the amide bond, and minimization of the hydrolysis of peptide bonds, improves functional properties of these products. For example, treatment of soy protein with dilute (0.05 A/) HCl, with or without a cation-exchange resin (Dowex 50) as a catalyst (133), with anions such as bicarbonate, phosphate, or chloride at pH 8.0 (134), or with peptide glutaminase at pH 7.0 (135), improved solubiHty, whipabiHty, water binding, and emulsifying properties. 

Supercritical fluid extraction (SEE) is another modern separation technology usually employed to extract lipophilic compounds such as cranberry seed oil, lycopene, coumarins, and other seed oils. Anthocyanins generally and glycosylated anthocyanins in particular were considered unsuitable for SEE due to their hydrophilic properties, since SEE is applicable for non-polar analytes. However, a small amount of methanol was applied as co-solvent to increase CO2 polarity in anthocyanin extraction from grape pomace. New applications of SEE for anthocyanin purification have been reported for cosmetic applications from red fruits. ... 

The two pseudoguaianolides confertiflorin (17) and its desacetyl derivative (18), both Isolated from A. confertlflora, show considerable differences in activity. Sorghum (87%) and ryegrass (86%) are inhibited and wheat (111%), clover (112%) and Palmer amaranth (111%) are promoted by 17. To the contrary, ryegrass (114%) is promoted by 18 while most other seeds show little effects.

Animals that bury acorns and other seeds as winter cache may also practice food processing, tannins being lost during the weeks in the moist soil. This... 

Thus, differences in functionality of these two suspensions cannot be related to protein quality as distinguished by the gel electrophoretic techniques used in this study. However, these data suggest that solubility of the major storage proteins, or their subunit components, contribute to foam capacity. In addition, other seed constituents, such as carbohydrate and ash (for example, field pea and pecan, respectively) may be equally involved (especially when the suspension pH is 1.5).

The niacin vitamers in foods include nicotinic acid and nicotinamide (Fig. 4), which occur in limited quantities in the free form, and their coenzymes, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP) (93,96). The nicotinic acid analog of NAD as well as nicotinamide and nicotinic acid mononucleotides also occur in nature. In addition, niacin occurs as nicotinyl esters bound to polysaccharides, peptides, and glycopep-tides, which are known as niacytin and niacynogens, respectively. In general, the niacin vitamers in cereal grains and other seeds are principally the nicotinic acid forms, whereas those in meat and fish are primarily the nicotinamide forms (94,95). 

The latter indicate corn-cockle, vetch, ergot or mites coloured spots— usually red, violet or blue—justify suspicion of the presence of darnel, lathyrus, melampyrum, or other seeds the perisperms of which contain special pigments reacting with Vogl s add solution. 

Starch is obtained from cereals, from leguminous and other seeds, from potatoes and other tubers, and from certain roots. The starches which are most commonly used are those of wheat, maize, rice, potatoes, sago, manioc and maranta. 

This consists essentially of sugar and almond paste. Besides the determination of the sugars, which is made as in biscuits, and the microscopic examination for the detection of other seeds and extraneous flours, tests for hydrocyanic acid (from the bitter almonds) and nitrobenzene (added as an adulterant) are also necessary. 

Because there are only two, Johnny s and other seed companies aren t giving up much by avoiding GE varieties. On the other hand, if Johnny s were to drop all the varieties grown with pesticides, (i.e., most of the hybrids and a good share of the OPs) many varieties would be unavailable. 

The tropical oil crops, coconut and palm, are the most efficient oil-producing crops, with coconut plantations yielding up to 2 tonnes per hectare of oil and the best performing palm plantations from 5-6 tonnes per hectare. By comparison, oil yields of temperate oil crops are typically of the order of 1-2 tonnes per hectare for the best oil-yielding crops (oilseed rape and sunflower). Clearly, Table 2.1 represents only a small fraction of oil-bearing plant species. Many other seed, fruit and nut oils are extracted for food use, however unless they contain fatty acid profiles or fatty acid derivatives of specific industrial interest, total oil-yield, fatty acid yield and cost of the final oil product tends to limit their use in industrial applications on all but a small or localised scale. 

Since every crystal grows at the same rate, the increase in diameter of every seed at the end of a given time will be the same. Thus, if this increase is known for a single seed, it is the same for all other seeds and we can predict the size-distribution of the product, provided, of course, that the size-distribution of the seeds is known.

Another question that has spawned several studies is how squirrels and other seed-burying animals find their treasure again. Experiments have shown that squirrels use memory and landmarks, and perhaps their sense of smell, and among birds.
