Single cell flavor

A wide number of proteia sources are available for use ia dairy substitutes. These iaclude animal proteias, ie, skim milk ia Hquid, coadeased, or dry form (filled products) caseia, caseiaates, and coprecipitates whey proteias oil-seed proteias, fish proteias and blood proteias. Oil-seed proteia sources iaclude soybean proteia coaceatrates and isolates, groundnut proteia, cottoaseed proteia, and sunflower seed, rapeseed, coconut, and sesame seed proteias (see Soybeans AND other oil seed). Other sources are leaf and single-cell proteias (see Foods, nonconventional). Of these proteia sources, milk and soybean proteias are most widely used. Proteia usage is based oa economics, flavor, fuactioaahty, and availabiUty. 

Provesteen A microbiological process for making single-cell protein from methanol, ethanol, or whey, developed in the 1980s by Provesta Corporation, a subsidiary of Phillips Petroleum Company. The basis of the process is a special high cell-density fermenter, which simplifies the isolation of the product from the water. The organism is the torula yeast the intended products are speciality flavor enhancers, a high fiber food bar, a food supplement... 

Mass spectrometry is an indispensable analytical tool in chemistry, biochemistry, pharmacy, and medicine. No student, researcher or practitioner in these disciplines can really get along without a substantial knowledge of mass spectrometry. Mass spectrometry is employed to analyze combinatorial libraries [1,2] sequence biomolecules, [3] and help explore single cells [4,5] or other planets. [6] Structure elucidation of unknowns, environmental and forensic analytics, quality control of drugs, flavors and polymers they all rely to a great extent on mass spectrometry. [7-11]... 

Partial hydrolysis of proteins using acid, alkali or enzymes is commonly employed to improve functionality and usefulness of novel proteins. Acid hydrolysis is the most common method for preparing hydrolysates of soy, zein, casein, yeast and gluten. Hydrolysates are used in formulated foods, soups, sauces, gravies, canned meats, and beverages as flavorants and thickeners (2,3,6). Alkaline treatments have been employed to solubilize and facilitate protein extraction from soy, single cells, and leaves. 

Diseases of people come in many flavors. There are infectious diseases (measles, mumps, influenza, AIDS,...), nutritional deficiency diseases (scurvy, beriberi, kwashiorkor,...), degenerative diseases (Alzheimer s disease, osteoporosis,...), cancer (of the lung, breast, prostate, liver,...), and single-gene inherited diseases or molecular diseases. In the last category, an important and instructive example is provided by sickle cell anemia. Let s consider this disease and begin to develop a sense of how we can understand it on the basis of what we now know about proteins. 

There are five primary taste sensations including sweet (carbohydrate based molecules), sour (acidic concentration), salty (sodium chloride), bitter (quinine and other basic functionalities) and umami (salts of glutamic acid). The human tongue does not discriminate every chemical substance composing a flavor it decomposes the taste of foodstuffs into the five basic taste qualities, instead. A single taste bud contains 50-100 taste cells representing all 5 taste sensation. An adult has about 9000 taste buds.
