TL;DR: The melting properties as determined by differential scanning calorimetry show that extracted adipose fat is a small degree softer in pansteatitis-affected tissue, specifically in the temperature range 7-36 degrees C, and does not contribute to the hard texture noted for adiposefat tissue of panst Eatitis- affected animals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Purification and Characterization of a Metalloprotease fromChryseobacterium indologenesIx9a and Determination of the Amino Acid Specificity with Electrospray Mass Spectrometry
TL;DR: The heat-stable protease from Chryseobacterium indologenesIx9a was purified to homogeneity using immobilized metal affinity chromatography and atomic absorption analysis showed that the enzyme contained Ca2+and Zn2+.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review on integrated agro-technology of vegetables
TL;DR: Pre- and postharvest treatments were found to have an effect on posthar Harvest quality of fruit and vegetables, suggesting that postharvest quality of produce subjected to preharvest treatments should be assessed from a quality improvement, maintenance and consumer safety point of view.
