Mechanisms of deterioration of nutrients

The retention of flavor during freeze drying was studied with model systems. Mechanisms by which flavor retention phenomena is explained were developed and process conditions specified so that flavor retention is optimized. The literature is reviewed and results of studies of the flavor retention behavior of a number of real food products, including both liquid and solid foods are evaluated. Process parameters predicted by the mechanisms to be of greatest significance are freezing rate, initial solids content, and conditions which result in maintenance of sample structure. Flavor quality for the real food showed the same behavior relative to process conditions as predicted by the mechanisms based on model system studies

Mechanisms of deterioration of nutrients

Methods for improving the quality of freeze-dried foods were investigated. Areas discussed include: (1) microstructure of freeze-dried systems, (2) structural changes in freeze-dried systems, (3) artificial food matrices, and (4) osmotic preconcentration to yield improved freeze-dried products

Genetics of gene expression characterizes response to selective breeding for alcohol preference

Numerous selective breeding experiments have been performed with rodents, in an attempt to understand the genetic basis for innate differences in preference for alcohol consumption. Quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis has been used to determine regions of the genome that are associated with the behavioral difference in alcohol preference/consumption. Recent work suggests that differences in gene expression represent a major genetic basis for complex traits. Therefore, the QTLs are likely to harbor regulatory regions (eQTLs) for the differentially expressed genes that are associated with the trait. In this study, we examined brain gene expression differences over generations of selection of the third replicate lines of high and low alcohol-preferring (HAP3 and LAP3) mice, and determined regions of the genome that control the expression of these differentially expressed genes (de eQTLs). We also determined eQTL regions (rv eQTLs) for genes that showed a decrease in variance of expression levels over the course of selection. We postulated that de eQTLs that overlap with rv eQTLs, and also with phenotypic QTLs, represent genomic regions that are affected by the process of selection. These overlapping regions controlled the expression of candidate genes (that displayed differential expression and reduced variance of expression) for the predisposition to differences in alcohol consumption by the HAP3/LAP3 mice

A method based on focused ion beam milling and analytical electron microscopy to investigate the nature of the tool-chip interface is presented. It is employed to study tool-chip interfaces of the rake face of a (Ti0.83Si0.17)N coated PCBN insert after turning of case-hardened steel. Analytical electron microscopy shows the presence of a smeared adhered layer on the coating, which consists of steel elements from the work-piece, oxygen, and Si and N, most likely originating from the coating.Original Publication:Axel Flink, R M Saoubi, Finn Giuliani, J Sjolen, T Larsson, Per Persson, M P Johansson and Lars Hultman, Microstructural characterization of the tool-chip interface enabled by focused ion beam and analytical electron microscopy, 2009, WEAR, (266), 11-12, 1237-1240.http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.wear.2009.03.001Copyright: Elsevier Science B.V., Amsterdam.http://www.elsevier.com
