It is found that there are two minima, for both coercivity and core loss as a function of annealing temperature, when Fe78 B13 Si9 amorphous alloy ribbon is magnetically annealed. The results show that besides stress relaxation and crystallization, alignment of magnetic easy axis also participates in the enhancement of soft magnetic properties, and that the influence of crystallization begins at 623 K. A four-stage model is proposed to interpret the double-minimum behavior. In the first stage, core loss decreases as annealing temperature increases, and magnetic alignment is the dominant mechanism. In the second stage, core loss increases slightly as temperature rises. In this region, the magnetic alignment process is almost completed and surface crystallization begins to occur. In the third stage, the stress relaxation effects overwhelm the crystallization effects and dominate, thus causing the core loss to decrease. In the fourth stage, stress relaxation effects are completed and cannot further reduce the core loss. Meanwhile, crystals have grown up to 200 nm in size, comparable to the size of domain walls, and hence pinning effects dominate the magnetic behavior resulting in the increase of core loss.

The rapidly quenched amorphous Co-base alloy CobalFe4Ni2Si15B14 (Metglas 2714A) is a suitable material for the magnetic core operating in a high frequency. Appreciable reduction in core loss and increase in permeability of this material can be achieved by proper heat treatment. In this study, data from differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and high frequency magnetic properties of samples annealed at different temperatures is presented. The results show that magnetic core loss at 50 kHz and 0.4 T decreases as annealing temperature (Ta) increases from 400 to 753 K, and it reaches a minimum with an anomaly factor η of 1.5 at annealing temperature of 753 K. Initial permeability μi behaves more complicately and reach the maximum value of 24000 at the same temperature, which is 50 K lower than the crystallization temperature (Tx = 823 K). This improvement of high frequency magnetic properties is attributed to the presence of small nuclei precipitated during heat treatment. The fraction of crystalline part in the amorphous matrix for optimum high frequency properties is 5%–6%, as estimated from the DSC data.

A classical study was conducted on the effects of Coriolis coupling on the internal energy flow between the two degenerate normal mode oscillations of H+3 . Strong correlations between the energy flow and the types of trajectories with the direction of the molecular rotation are revealed. The angle at which a trajectory, near its onset, approaches the isoenergetic contour on the potential surface is shown to determine the type of the trajectory and general characteristics of the system.

Textural properties, water holding capacity, color, sensory characteristics, and storage stability of frankfurters containing hexane-defatted corn germ protein (CGP) as a meat extender were studied. CGP was incorporated at 2 and 3% levels as a powder or a preswelled slurry. Batter viscosity and shear force values of frankfurters were increased by the preswelled CGP. The redness values of the experimental samples with 2 and 3% CGP added as a powder were less than those of controls. There were no significant effects of CGP incorporation or its preswelling on the initial sensory properties of frankfurters. Meaty flavor and aroma and off-flavor acceptability decreased during 45 days of storage. Off-flavor and off-aroma of frankfurters showed a slight increase with time in storage. Total volatile nitrogen and nonammonia amino nitrogen of experimental and control frankfurters were not significantly different.

The quality of shrimp thawed using a constant temperature thawing chamber compared with running water was studied. Shrimp thawed in room temperature air was used as the control. Shrimp thawed using the thawing chamber had lower drip loss, higher yield and moisture content than shrimp thawed by running water. However, the differences were not statistically significant. There were also no significant differences in press juice and shear force between control and shrimp thawed using either thawing method. Shrimp thawed using the thawing chamber had lower aerobic bacterial counts than either control or shrimp thawed using running water. Shrimp thawed using the thawing chamber did not exceed −1C throughout the thawing experiment, and microbial growth during thawing was also avoided. Results indicated that the thawing chamber has potential for the foodservice industry to produce uniformly thawed products under sanitary conditions.

Defatted corn germ protein (CGP) has been studied as a functional or substitute ingredient of frankfurters. The proximate composition (protein, fat, moisture, ash) and amino acid content of hexane- and supercritical-CO2-defatted CGP and frankfurters containing CGP were determined. CGP was incorporated in frankfurters as in a powder, slurry form and as a stabilizer of emulsions. Proximate analysis showed significantly lower fat content of CGP processed by a modified procedure and a reduction of fat content in meats containing CGP. Levels of essential amino acids in CGP compared favorably to those in sodium caseinate, hen's egg protein, and soybean protein. Except for isoleucine, CGP meets or exceeds a FAO provisional amino acid pattern recommended for human consumption. No significant differences were found in amino acid composition of hexane- or supercritical-CO2-defatted CGP. Amino acid composition of frankfurters was not greatly altered by the addition of CGP at the levels studied. An acceptable, weak corny aroma and taste could be detected at 2.4 and 3.5% levels of added CGP. Defatted CGP with its high protein content and amino acid pattern combined with relatively low cost has potential as an extender, fortifier, and binding agent in frankfurters and other comminuted meats.

Functional properties of two corn germ protein (CGP) preparations, supercritical CO2 (SC—CO2) and hexane defatted, were studied in model systems using response surface methodology. The protein preparations had different fat and moisture content. The SC—CO2 CGP was whiter (1), less red (a) and less yellow (b) in color measurement than hexane CGP. Temperature of incubation influenced the functionality of the SC—CO2 and hexane-defatted CGP in model system. SC-CO2 CGP had higher fat binding and water retention than hexane CGP. Fat binding decreased during the heat treatment for SC-CO2 CGP. Water retention in both preparations increased as temperature increased to 70°C. The different functional properties of hexane CGP may be due to the extent of protein denaturation.

A process for incorporating defatted corn germ protein (CGP) in comminuted meat products was developed and tested under commercial conditions. Advantages of using 3% defatted CGP in meat products were established: improvement of the quality characteristics and increase yield of the product. The following differences between experimental and control frankfurters were found: decreased batter viscosity, increased protein, decreased fat and moisture content, lowered firmness and shear force, lighter color, decreased meaty aroma and flavor and increased off-flavor. Storage for 30 days affected sensory properties of frankfurters.

The microstructures of comminuted meat products containing 0, 1 and 2% of corn germ protein as a powder additive and as a stabilizer for pre-emulsified fat (PEF) were studied. A modified fixation technique and protein contrasting ingredient were used to improve the resolution of the microstructure. Meat products containing 2% protein additive exhibited a uniform distribution of fat globules and increased water and fat binding capacity. Corn germ protein used as a stabilizer in PEF preparation formed a more uniform distribution of fat globules than of additive product. These protein micellar structures may stabilize the larger size fat globules, resulting in less coalescence of the fat component during heat treatment.

Background: Xiao-qing-long-tang (XQLT sho-seiru-to), a traditional Chinese medicine, has been used to treat patients with bronchial asthma in Oriental countries for several centuries. However, the therapeutic mechanisms of this Chinese medicine remain a matter of considerable debate. Therefore, a series of experiments using ovalbumin-sensitized guinea pigs was performed to elucidate the possible antiasthmatic effect of XQLT. Methods: The effect of XQLT on ovalbumin-induced airway inflammation in a guinea pig model of allergic asthma was examined, and early and late asthmatic responses were measured in terms of airway resistance and extent of eosinophil infiltration. Furthermore, the bronchorelaxing effect of XQLT was measured in isolated guinea pig trachea. Results: XQLT significantly inhibited the antigen-induced immediate asthmatic response (IAR) and late asthmatic response (LAR) in actively sensitized guinea pigs. Cumulative administration of XQLT caused concentration-dependent relaxation of the carbachol-precontracted guinea pig trachea. The bronchorelaxing effect of XQLT was reversed by ICI-118551, a selective β2-adrenoceptor antagonist. Furthermore, examination of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) revealed that XQLT significantly suppressed the increase in eosinophils (24 h after antigen challenge) in the airway. In addition, XQLT significantly attenuated the increase in eosinophils at 1, 6, 24, 48, and 72 h after antigen challenge when it was administered once daily from the day of sensitization to the day of challenge. Histopathologic examination results showed that XQLT suppressed eosinophil infiltration into lung tissue. Conclusions: These results demonstrate that the antiasthmatic effects of XQLT appear to be partly mediated by stimulation of β2-adrenoceptors, leading to bronchorelaxation, and that XQLT inhibits the infiltration of eosinophils into the airway. Thus, XQLT may be useful for the prevention or treatment of asthma.
