Solubility digestion

For the reasons stated above, deep intrusion of degrading microbes into polysaccharide-plastic films is demonstrably and theoretically improbable. Since starch removal does occur when the films are buried in soil, the primary mechanism must be microbial production of amylase in or near a pore, diffusion of the enzyme into pores and diffusion of soluble digestion products back to the surface where they are metabolized (Figure 3). This mechanism would be the only choice when the pore diameter is too small to admit a microbial cell (i.e., at diameters < 0.5 /im). An alternative mechanism could be diffusion of a water-soluble polysaccharide to the film surface, at which point degradation would occur. None of the materials used in these investigations showed loss of starch even when soaked in water for extended periods with microbial inhibitors present. Therefore, diffusion of amylase to the substrate rather than diffusion of the substrate to the film surface is the more likely mechanism. 

Yeast, Autolyzed, occurs in granular, powdered, flake, or paste form. It is the concentrated, nonextracted, partially soluble digest obtained from food-grade yeasts. Solubilization is accomplished by enzyme hydrolysis or autolysis of yeast cells. Food-grade salts and enzymes may be added. Yeast, Autolyzed contains both soluble and insoluble components derived from the whole yeast cell. It is composed primarily of amino acids, peptides, proteins, carbohydrates, fats, and salts. 

Bile salt molecules secreted by the gallbladder are essential for the emulsification and absorption of fats. They are the salt forms of bile acids, which are the major product of cholesterol catabolism in the liver. Bile salts form micelles as their hydrophobic face contacts the fat (triacylglycerol), and their polar face maintains contact with the aqueous enviromnent. This micelle formation allows water-soluble digestive enzymes to digest the entrapped triacylglycerol molecnle, releasing fatty acids that are readily absorbed by the digestive system. 

Certain elements (such as arsenic, antimony, mercury, selenium, and tin) can, after producing the soluble digest of the polymer, be converted to gaseous metallic hydrides by reaction of the digest with reagents such as stannous chloride or sodium borohydride ... 

Application in food production is based on its unique properties, such as solubility, digestibility and fermentability, slight sweetness . 

Occlusions are minimized by maintaining the precipitate in equilibrium with its supernatant solution for an extended time. This process is called digestion and may be carried out at room temperature or at an elevated temperature. During digestion, the dynamic nature of the solubility-precipitation equilibrium, in which the precipitate dissolves and re-forms, ensures that occluded material is eventually exposed to the supernatant solution. Since the rate of dissolution and reprecipitation are slow, the chance of forming new occlusions is minimal. 

Its relatively low toxicity is probably the result of very low aqueous solubility (0.002 g/L) and lack of reactivity with acidic (HCl) digestive fluids. 

Other important reactions that occur in digestion are desiHcation, causticization of Hquor, and precipitation of impurities. The reactive siHca in bauxite, for example that in kaolin, reacts with caustic to form soluble sodium siHcate [1344-09-8], Na2Si02... 

Tall oil rosin is a by-product of paper manufacturing. Raw wood chips are digested under heat and pressure with a mixture of sodium hydroxide and sodium sulfide. Soluble sodium salts of lignin, rosin, and fatty acids are formed, which are removed from the wood pulp as a dark solution. The soaps of the rosin and fatty acids float to the top of the mixture, where they are skimmed off and treated with sulfuric acid to free the rosin and fatty acids. This mixture, known as cmde tall oil (CTO), is refined further to remove color and odor bodies fractional distillation separates the tall oil rosin acids from the fatty acids (see Tall oil). 

Batch Stirred Tank SO Sulfonation Processes. If the color of the derived sulfonate is not critical, such as ia the productioa of oil-soluble ag-emulsifiers, a simple batch sulfoaatioa procedure can be employed based on vaporizing liquid SO (Niaol Labs, 1952) (13,263). Pilot Chemical Company adapted the original Morrisroe 60—70% oleum—SO2 solvent sulfonation process (256) to utilize 92% Hquid SO —8% Hquid SO2 mixtures, and more recently usiag 100% Hquid SO. This cold sulfoaatioa low viscosity sulfoaatioa process produces exceUeat quaHty products, and reportedly has also been adapted for continuous processiag as weU. The derived sulfonic acid must be stripped of SO2 solvent after completing sulfonation and digestion. 

The Sulfate Process. A flow diagram for the sulfate process is shown in Figure 1. The strongly exothermic digestion of the dried, milled feedstock in 85—95°/ sulfuric acid converts metal oxides into soluble sulfates, primarily titanium and iron. 

Agricultural Use. Citric acid and its ammonium salts are used to form soluble chelates of iron, copper, magnesium, manganese, and zinc micronutrients in Hquid fertilizers (97—103). Citric acid and citrate salts are used in animal feeds to form soluble, easily digestible chelates of essential metal nutrients, enhance feed flavor to increase food uptake, control gastric pH and improve feed efficiency. 

Phosphoms determination involves the conversion of phosphoms to soluble phosphate by digesting the coal ash with a mixture of sulfuric, nitric, and hydrofluoric acids (18). Phosphate is precipitated as ammonium phosphomolybdate, which may be reduced to give a blue solution that is determined colorimetricaHy or volumetricaHy (D2795) (18). 

Urea Enzymatic Dialysis Method. This method (16) uses 8 M urea [57-13-6] to gelatinize and facUitate removal of starch and promote extraction of the soluble fiber at mild (50°C) temperatures. EoUowing digestion with heat-stable a-amylase and protease, IDE is isolated by filtration or I DE is obtained after ethanol precipitation. Values for I DE are comparable to those obtained by the methods described eadier, and this method is less time-consuming than are the two AO AC-approved methods. Corrections for protein are required as in the AO AC methods. 

One Anson unit is the amount of enzyme that, under standard conditions, digests hemoglobin at an initial rate, Hberating per minute an amount of TCA-soluble product which produces the same color with phenol reagent as one milliequivalent of tyrosine (91).
