TL;DR: In this paper, the main components of the shrimp broth were nitrogen substances, the most abundant of these being peptides of molecular weight less than 600 Da, and the free amino acid composition was also determined.
Abstract: To achieve a shrimp broth with the best flavour, the whole shrimp must be cooked at 85°C for 30 min in a 0.5% NaCl solution in proportions 1 : 2 (w : v). Quantitatively, the main components of the broth were nitrogen substances, the most abundant of these being peptides of molecular weight less than 600 Da. Levels of ATP metabolites were also determined [the more abundant compounds were inosine, guanosine 5′-monophosphate (GMP) and inosine 5′-monophosphate (IMP)], as were free sugars (glucose, fructose and ribose) and fat content. The free amino acid composition was also determined. A significant correlation (P <0.0001) between cooking temperature and different nitrogen fractions was observed.

16 Jun 1998TL;DR: In this article, a continuous sheet of material is placed around a sleeve and conveyed by a pair of endless belts to obtain a tube, while a welder seals up the longitudinal edges of the material.
Abstract: In a machine for packaging bulk articles or groups of
articles in a tubular envelope, a continuous sheet
material (1) is placed around a sleeve (11) and conveyed
by a pair of endless belts (18) to obtain a tube (4). A
collar (12) is provided for guiding the continuous sheet
material around the sleeve (11) while a welder (15) seals
up the longitudinal edges of the continuous sheet
material (1). A feeder (40) for feeding articles is
situated beside the sleeve (11)- collar (12) assembly,
which is mounted on a frame (7) together with the endless
belts and the welder (15). The frame (7) rotates about a
horizontal axis and brings the sleeve (ll) first to a
horizontal position (H), in which the product or articles
(41) are introduced therein, and then to a vertical
position (V), in which the pack (5) is completed.

TL;DR: Overall, growth of Eucalyptus species/provenances from the natural range (Queensland, Australia) was found to be superior to that of sources (land races) form Brazil, Zimbabwe and Mozambique.
Abstract: SYNOPSIS Variation in performance of several Eucalyptus species/provenances/land races, Casuarina equisetifolia, Leucaena leucocephala and Senna siamea was evaluated in two 14—year old trials planted at Michafutene, Mozambique. At the age of 6, 10, and 14 years, data were collected of survival, breast height diameter, height and stem form. Wood basic density was only measured at the final assessment occasion. Significant differences between species, provenances and land races were found in survival, growth and stem form. Wood basic density was not significantly different between species, provenances and land races. Overall, growth of Eucalyptus species/provenances from the natural range (Queensland, Australia) was found to be superior to that of sources (land races) form Brazil, Zimbabwe and Mozambique. The performanance of C. equisetifolia, L. leucocephala and S. siamea land races was also poor. The following outstanding species and provenances are recommended for planting at Michafutene and similar site...
