Abstract:
... Pure chicken powder (PCP) is a reliable source of mellow chicken soup flavor in seasoning, but it has some unstable compounds and is prone to lipid oxidation, which leads to unpleasant odor. Adding yeast extract (YE) can reduce the off-odor intensity of PCP. Based on the results of gas chromatography–olfactometry–mass spectrometry (GC–O-MS), two-dimensional comprehensive gas chromatography–olfacto ...

Abstract:
... Organic matter is a critical factor which regulates nitrogen loss pathways of denitrification and anammox for microbes in marine ecosystems. However, only a little attention has been paid to contrasting studies on denitrification and anammox in sandy and muddy sediments, especially in the coastal continental shelf dominated by sandy sediments. This study determined the bulk properties and associat ...
... In this paper, we developed a sensor for on-site measuring beverage sucrose level based on cascade enzyme particles and a blood glucose meter. The cascade enzyme particles with sucrose hydrolyzing capability were prepared by co-precipitation of manganese carbonate, in which the stability of the enzymes was substantially enhanced by the particle encapsulation effect. The quantitative measurement of ...
