Effects of spray-dried whole egg and biotin in calf milk replacer

Holstein bull calves (n = 120) were fed milk replacers containing 0, 10, or 20% of the formulation (0, 22, or 44% of crude protein) as spray-dried whole egg powder in a 56-d feeding trial. Milk replacer was medicated with oxytetracycline and neomycin and was fed from d 1 to 42 of the study in a phase-fed program. All experimental milk replacers were supplemented with B vitamins, except biotin. One half of all calves were supplemented with 1 mg/kg of supplemental biotin to determine whether avidin in the egg protein product inhibited growth. Increasing spray-dried whole egg caused a linear reduction in body weight, body weight gain at 28 and 56 d of the study, calf starter intake, and feed efficiency. Calves fed milk replacers containing 0, 10, and 20% spray-dried whole egg gained an average of 486, 369, and 302 g/d, respectively, during the 56-d trial. Efficiency of feed utilization was 446, 318, and 231 g of body weight gain per kilogram of dry matter intake. Improvement in body weight and feed efficiency occurred when calves began consuming calf starter on d 29. Digestibility of protein or fat from egg may have been reduced during the trial; however, the addition of biotin to the milk replacer did not influence animal performance, suggesting that avidin in spray-dried whole egg was not responsible for impaired performance. The spray-dried whole egg product used in this study did not provide nutrients to support adequate growth of milk-fed calves.     

加工工艺对荞麦蛋白功能特性的影响

探讨了加工工艺对荞麦蛋白(BWP)功能特性的影响。pH＜5．0和 pH＞6．0时,喷雾干燥制备的荞麦蛋白(SBWP)的溶解度高于商品大豆分离蛋白(SPI)(P＜0．05)。pH＜7．0时,超声协助提取荞麦蛋白(U- BWP)的溶解度较搅拌提取荞麦蛋白(M-BWP)和脱脂、超声协助提取荞麦蛋白(DU-BWP)好；pH＞7．0时,结果相反。总体来说,BWP 持油能力较 SPI 强,且冷冻干燥制备的荞麦蛋白(F-BWP)的持水、持油能力强于 S-BWP (P＜0．05)。BWP 的乳化活性与其溶解度呈正相关。pH 4．0～5．0时,BWP 的乳化活性指数(EAI)最小而乳化稳定性(ES)最高。脱脂处理明显提高了 BWP 的 EAI 和 ES。     

Enzymatic Hydrolysate fo Fish,Spray-Dried Fish Solubles,and Soybean Protein Concentrate in Milk Replacers for Calves,

Holstein calves (120) were fed milk replacers as the only nutrients from 4 to 46 days of age. All milk replacers contained 20% crude protein and differed in protein source: 1) 100% milk protein; 2) 67% milk protein, 33% soybean protein concentrate; 3) 67% milk protein, 33% enzymatic hydrolysate of fish; 4) 67% milk protein, 16.5% soybean protein concentrate, 16.5% enzymatic hydrolysate of fish; 5) 67% milk protein, 16.5% soybean protein concentrate, 16.5% spray-dried fish solubles; 6) 67% milk protein, 24.75% soybean protein concentrate, 8.25% spray-dried fish solubles.Substitution up to 33% of dietary protein with soybean protein concentrate or combinations of soybean, enzymatic hydrolysate of fish, or spray-dried fish solubles produced 14% lower weight gains than all milk protein, but 33% replacement with enzymatic hydrolysate of fish produced 27% lower weight gains. Feed consumed per kilogram of gain was least for all milk, most for 33% fish hydrolysate, and intermediate for other rations. Scour scores did not differ between diets.     

Nutritional Evaluation of Cheese Spread Powder

A study on the nutritional evaluation of processed cheddar cheese and cheese spread powder made from it, was undertaken. Levels of all constituents, except phosphorus and moisture contents, were significantly higher in cheese spray-dried powder as compared to processed cheese. Biological evaluation of the products showed that a Modified Protein Efficiency Ratio (PER_D), Net Protein Utilization (NPU), and Digestibility Coefficient (DC) and also regeneration of certain organs, in protein depleted albino rats fed diets based on processed cheese and spray-dired powder made from it, were identical.     

Spray-Dried Soy Protein Isolate Solubility, Gelling Characteristics, and Extractable Protein as Affected by Antioxidants

With the addition of antioxidants, spray-dried soy protein isolates (SPI) exhibited increased solubilities by 8% over the control in 0.1M NaCl. Increased solubilities corresponded to a 15% and 8% reduction in protein oxidation as determined by protein carbonyl contents. The greatest differences in solubility between a spray-dried SPI with antioxidant (66% protein solubility) and the control (54% protein solubility), as well as the minimum protein solubility, occurred in 0.2M NaCl. Following the initial solubilization step in SPI processing, amount of extracted proteins was increased by 4.5% over the control with addition of antioxidants. Gel fracturability, hardness and adhesiveness for heat set gels of 12% SPI processed with added antioxidants were increased by 26.3%, 23.5% and 24.6%, respectively.     

Protein Quality of Cheddar Cheese Compared with Casein and Fabricated Cheese in the Rat

The protein quality of freeze-dried cheddar cheese, spray-dried cheddar cheese, freeze-dried fabricated cheddar cheese (with casein as the main protein source), and sodium caseinate was evaluated in rats using the protein efficiency ratio (PER) assay (AOAC procedures) in two feeding experiments with casein as the control. Biological evaluation of the products showed that PER values for freeze-dried cheddar cheese were significantly higher than casein (3.7 vs 2.5). Freeze-dried cheddar also had a PER value significantly higher than spray-dried cheddar cheese (3.7 vs 3.0). Freeze-dried fabricated cheddar cheese and sodium caseinate had PER values not significantly different from the casein control.     

SMALL DEFORMATION PROPERTIES OF MODEL SALAD DRESSINGS PREPARED WITH REDUCED CHOLESTEROL EGG YOLK

Low-fat, low-cholesterol materials were extracted from spray-dried egg yolk using as solvents petroleum ether, petroleum ether/ethanol, ethanol/water, and supercritical CO₂. The four extracts and their source (spray-dried yolk) were incorporated into traditional recipes for oil in water salad dressings. The linear viscoelasticity of these systems was characterised by dynamic oscillation and creep/relaxation curves on a stress-controlled Carri-Med rheometer. The high protein content of the extracts generates stronger and more elastic structures than those of commercial salad dressings but they are comparable to the viscoelastic properties of commercial mayonnaises which contain high cholesterol egg yolk. Measurements of the size of oil droplets over a period of eleven days demonstrate that these emulsions maintain acceptable consistency. The methodology adopted and the conclusions derived might assist in the purposeful formulation of low-cholesterol salad dressings.     

Crystallization and X-ray Diffraction of Crystals Formed in Water-Plasticized Amorphous Spray-dried and Freeze-dried Lactose/Protein Mixtures

ABSTRACT: Effects of proteins (whey protein isolate [WPI], Na-caseinate, and gelatin), drying method, storage relative vapor pressure (RVP), and time on lactose crystallization and crystals formed were investigated using x-ray diffraction (XRD). Crystallization was observed from increasing peak intensities of XRD patterns. Lactose in lactose/protein (5:1,3:1) mixtures crystallized in samples stored at RVP of 44.1% and above in both spray-dried and freeze-dried materials, except in freeze-dried lactose/Na-caseinate and lactose/gelatin mixtures, which showed lactose crystallization at 54.5% RVP and above. The rate of crystallization increased with increasing RVP and storage time. The rate of crystallization in spray-dried materials was higher than in freeze-dried materials, and the crystallization rate decreased with increasing protein content. Lactose crystallized mainly as α-lactose monohydrate in spray-dried lactose/WPI and lactose/gelatin mixtures. Crystals formed in freeze-dried lactose/WPI and lactose/gelatin mixtures were anhydrous β-lactose and α-lactose monohydrate crystals. Lactose crystallized as a-lactose monohydrate in both spray-dried and freeze-dried lactose/Na-caseinate mixtures. Trace amounts of anhydrous β-lactose were present in spray-dried lactose/WPI (5:1) and lactose/gelatin (5:1) mixtures. Peak intensities of XRD patterns for anhydrous β-lactose decreased with increasing protein content and storage time. The crystallization data were successfully modeled using Avrami equation at an RVP of 65.6% and above. These data are important in understanding and predicting storage stability of lactose- and protein-containing food and pharmaceutical materials.     

Red ginseng extract capsule fabricated using W/O/W emulsion techniques

The objective of the present study was to investigate the physicochemical characteristics and storage stability of water-in-oil-in-water (W/O/W) emulsions and spray-dried red ginseng extract capsules (RGEC) prepared using different secondary coating materials such as maltodextrin (MD), whey protein concentrate (WPC), or arabic gum (AG). The particle sizes of W/O/W emulsions and spray-dried RGEC coated with MD were considerably lower than those of W/O/W emulsions and spray-dried RGEC coated with WPC or AG. The zeta-potential value (?36 mV) of spray-dried RGEC coated with MD was significantly higher than that of spray-dried RGEC coated with WPC or AG (p < 0.05), indicating that spray-dried RGEC coated with MD were much more stable than spray-dried RGEC coated with WPC and AG. In the storage stability study, it was found that the refrigerator temperature (4°C) was preferred for storing spray-dried samples for a long time. Based on these results, it was confirmed that MD could be the most efficient coating material for W/O/W emulsions and nano-sized spray-dried RGEC.     

Effect of Whey Pretreatment on Composition and Functional Properties of Whey Protein Concentrate

The effect of pretreatment upon the composition and physicochemical and functional properties of whey, ultrafiltration (UF) retentate and freeze-dried and spray-dried whey protein concentrates (WPC) was investigated. Pretreatment was by cooling cheese whey to 0-5°C, adding calcium chloride, adjusting to pH 7.3, warming to 50°C, and removing the insoluble precipitate that formed by centrifugation or decantation. UF permeation flux rate of pretreated whey was about double that for control whey. Pretreated whey was essentially turbidity free, contained 85% less milkfat, 37% more calcium and 40% less phosphorus than whey. Pretreated whey WPC proteins were slightly more soluble at pH 3, but less functional for emulsification than whey WPC proteins. Neither whey WPC proteins nor pretreated whey WPC proteins was functional for foaming at 6% protein concentration.     

A Collaborative Study to Develop a Standardized Food Protein Solubility Procedure

A colaborative study was conducted to develop a rapid, simple and reliable procedure for determining the solubility of food protein products, e.g., spray-dried whey protein concentrate, sodium caseinate, egg white protein and soy protein isolate. The procedure was developed by modifying the nitrogen solubility index (NSI) procedure. Protein content and soluble protein were determined by micro-Kjeldahl or biuret procedures with standard deviations of 0.83-4.12 for all proteins except caseinate which had a value of 13.95. Although the biuret and micro-Kjeldahl procedures generally provided comparable accuracy and precision for protein content and solubility of certain proteins, the biuret procedure exhibited considerable error and variability for other proteins.     

Characteristics of Pinus pinaster bark extracts obtained under various extraction conditions

bark extracts obtained by lixiviation with water or alkaline solutions followed by spray drying. Extract yield was 2.5- to 6-fold higher with alkaline extractant solutions than with water. Within the ranges of temperature (T), NaOH dose (NaOH) and solid/liquid ratio (S/L) that were studied, the formaldehyde-condensable polyphenols content of spray-dried extracts obtained with NaOH as extractant was highest (27.3%) at T=90 °C, NaOH=5%, S/L=1/6. Polyphenols content fell with increasing particle size due to both diffusion limitations and the variation of particle composition with size, which is attributable to the dependence of both the chemical composition of the bark and its response to grinding on its anatomical origin. All the spray-dried extracts had Stiasny numbers high enough to allow their use in adhesives, although this application may require prior chemical modification to reduce the rapid rise in the viscosity of their aqueous solutions with increasing solids content. The reactivity of the extracts with formaldehyde is readily controlled by varying pH.     

Chemical Composition and Functional Properties of Acylated Low Phytate Rapeseed Protein Isolate

Protein isolates were prepared by isoelectric precipitation or dialysis of the first and second aqueous extracts of rapeseed flour which was unmodified or acylated by succinic or acetic anhydride. Acylation of the flour lowered the protein and phytic acid contents without significantly altering the amino acid composition of the isoelectrically precipitated protein isolates from the two extracts. The acylated protein isolates from the isoelectrically precipitated extracts had high nitrogen solubility, emulsifying and fat absorption properties. Isoelectrically precipitated and dialyzed acylated proteins did not differ in nitrogen solubility, but dialyzed unmodified protein isolates had nitrogen solubility which was considerably greater than that of isoelectrically precipitated proteins.     

Production and partial characterization of monoclonal antibodies specific to cooked poultry meat

Monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) specific to cooked poultry muscle proteins have been developed for the detection of poultry adulterants in cooked mammalian meat. Saline (0.85% NaCl) extract of heat-treated (100 °C, 15min) chicken muscle proteins was used to immunize mice for MAb development. The specificity of MAbs was tested against chicken antigen and protein extracts from seven other meat species (pork, beef, lamb, deer, horse, turkey and duck) by indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent immunoassay (ELISA). The immunogenic components in the poultry protein extracts were determined by SDS-PAGE followed by immunoblotting. A total of six hybridoma cell lines that secrete IgG class MAbs have been developed: MAbs 3E12 and 1A5 were able to distinguish between cooked poultry and mammalian meats, MAbs 9C6 and 6F7 reacted strongly with cooked chicken only, and MAbs, 5D2 and 6G8, reacted with both cooked turkey and chicken but not other species. All six MAbs demonstrated a proportional increased ELISA response to respective adulterated poultry samples in pork over a 0-100% range of aduleration.     

Microencapsulating Properties of Whey Protein Concentrate 75

ABSTRACT Emulsions containing various levels of soya oil dispersed in solutions of whey protein concentrate (WPC) 75 (5% w/v) were spray-dried to yield powders with oil contents ranging from 20% to 75% (w/w). The effect of homogenizing pressure and oil/protein ratio on oil globule size distributions and protein load of the emulsions and the microencapsulation efficiency (ME) and redispersion behavior of the powders were examined. Emulsion oil droplet size decreased with increasing homogenization pressure but was not affected by oil/protein ratio. Emulsion protein load and ME of the powders were negatively correlated with increasing oil/protein ratio. Powders with an oil/protein ratio < 0.75 were least susceptible to destabilization during spray-drying.     

Microencapsulated Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG powders: relationship of powder physical properties to probiotic survival during storage

Freeze-dried commercial Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) were encapsulated in an emulsion-based formulation stabilized by whey protein and resistant starch and either spray-dried or freeze-dried to produce probiotic microcapsules. There was no difference in loss of probiotics viability after spray drying or freeze drying. Particle size, morphology, moisture sorption, and water mobility of the powder microcapsules were examined. Particle size analysis and scanning electron microscopy showed that spray-dried LGG microcapsules (SDMC) were small spherical particles, whereas freeze-dried LGG microcapsules (FDMC) were larger nonspherical particles. Moisture sorption isotherms obtained using dynamic vapor sorption showed a slightly higher water uptake in spray-dried microcapsules. The effect of water mobility, as measured by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, at various water activities (a(w) 0.32, 0.57, and 0.70) and probiotic viability during storage at 25 °C was also examined. Increasing the relative humidity of the environment at which the samples were stored caused an increase in water mobility and the rate of loss in viability. The viability data during storage indicated that SDMC had better storage stability compared to FDMC. Although more water was adsorbed for spray-dried than freeze-dried microcapsules, water mobility was similar for corresponding storage conditions because there was a stronger water-binding energy for spray-dried microcapsule. This possibly accounted for the improved survival of probiotics in spray-dried microcapsules.

Antioxidant Activity of Methanolic Extracts of Various Oilseed Protein Ingredients

Antioxidant activity (AA) of methanolic extracts of defatted flours, concentrates, and isolates produced from glandless cottonseed, peanut, and soybean was determined against linoleate oxidation catalyzed by metmyoglobin (MetMb), Fe⁺⁺-EDTA (1:l molar ratio) and fresh beef homogenates and against autoxidation of safflower oil. Total phenolic content of the extracts was also determined. Methanolic extracts of glandless cottonseed protein ingredients showed uniquely and consistently higher AA than those of peanut and soy protein ingredients. Total phenolic content was also markedly higher for the cottonseed protein extracts. Methanol-soluble AA was significantly correlated with total phenolic content for the extracts of defatted flours and concentrates but not for the extracts of isolates. The comparative methanol-soluble AA values of these oilseed protein ingredients were indicative of their antioxidation potential in cooked meat products.
