Abstract:
The invention relates to a packaging machine comprising an apparatus for cutting food packagings to size along a longitudinal direction, wherein the apparatus defines an inner space and an outer region, said apparatus having a first shaft, which extends in the inner space and on which at least a first cutting blade is arranged, and a second shaft which extends in the inner space and on which at least a second cutting blade is arranged, said second cutting blade forming a cutting unit arranged in the inner space together with the first cutting blade during operation, wherein the first cutting blade is axially displaceably supported on the respective shaft to change an axial spacing and an axial contact pressure between the first cutting blade and the second cutting blade of the cutting unit, and said apparatus having an adjustment mechanism, wherein the adjustment mechanism is coupled to the axially displaceable first cutting blade to displace the displaceable cutting blade in an axial direction. The invention furthermore relates to a method of setting a contact force between a first cutting blade and a second cutting blade of a cutting unit of a packaging machine.
Abstract:
A product conveying apparatus for feeding food products to a slicing unit of a food slicing machine is disclosed. The product conveying apparatus may comprise a first conveying lane comprising a first deflection roller, a first drive roller, and a first circulating conveying device guided around the first deflection roller and the first drive roller and presenting a first conveying surface. A second conveying lane may comprise a second deflection roller and an additional deflection roller, a second drive roller, and a second circulating conveying device guided around the second deflection roller, the additional deflection roller, and the second drive roller and presenting a second conveying surface.
Abstract:
The oral cavity is an ideal-site for small molecule, nutrient/nutraceutical delivery to the central nervous system (CNS) and systemic circulation due to the highly-vascularized, oral mucosa, near-neutral pH conditions, close proximity to the brain, and avoidance of gastric degradation and the first-pass effect. The rich-blood supply of the oral mucosa and “sticky”, mucoadhesive properties of this novel, saccharide-based, delivery system allows for the efficient absorption of small molecules across several highly-vascularized surfaces including the gingival, sublingual, soft-palatal, and buccal mucosa. Herein, I introduce a novel, saccharide-based, food-form, palatable, easy-to-administer, oral delivery system that attaches to these four, highly-absorptive surfaces for a longer contact-duration than current orally-available formulas resulting in greater, small molecule bioavailability, and a more rapid, therapeutic effect. This invention represents the next-generation in optimized, highly-efficacious, small molecule delivery systems for CNS-related conditions that moves one-step closer in approximating intravenous injection in systemic bioavailability and therapeutic onset.
Abstract:
A solidified product from molasses is prepared by a process in which a high protein, high water soluble soy protein is incorporated with molasses to form a slurry prior to dehydration and enhances the crispness and rapidity of crystalline formation when the slurry is subsequently dehydrated as a thin film on a heated surface.
Abstract:
A solidified product from sorghum syrup is prepared by a process in which a high protein, high water soluble soy protein is incorporated with a sorghum syrup to form a slurry prior to dehydration and enhances the crispness and rapidity of crystalline formation when the slurry is subsequently dehydrated as a thin film on a heated surface.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a transcription factor NCgl0581 mutant and use thereof in L-serine detection, belonging to the technical field of biological detection. According to the present invention, key binding sites of the transcription factor NCgl0581 with L-serine are obtained through molecular docking, and further model analysis and virtual screening are carried out to obtain an L-serine biosensor mutant NCgl0581E136P. Experiments show that the biosensor constructed based on the mutant NCgl0581E136P can respond to 25 mM serine, which is half of the response concentration before the mutation. The present invention reduces the detection limit of the biosensor through mutation, lays a foundation for the detection of low-concentration L-serine, and has good application value and prospect.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method of preparing a mixture of brewer's spent grain having a composition corresponding to a requested user input. In particular, the present invention relates to a method for preparing uniform mixtures of brewer's spent grain from different compositions of brewer's spent grain having different nutrient content, flavour and colour, and said uniform mixture of brewer's spent grain corresponds to a user request. Further, the present invention relates to a mixture of brewer's spent grain and use of the mixture of brewer's spent grain in food products.
Abstract:
A chemically defined medium for differentiation of muscle stem cells in vitro, namely a serum-free, more efficient and inexpensive chemically defined medium for inducing differentiation of muscle stem cells in vitro. Compared with an existing general muscle stem cell differentiation medium, using the chemically defined medium can increase the relative expression of myogenin genes by 4.48 times on the 2nd day of differentiation, increase the relative expression of myosin heavy chain genes by 55.28 times on the 6th day, and increase the percentage of cell differentiation from 34.94% to 57.93% in the terminal differentiation stage, and more, thicker and longer muscle fibers are formed through induced differentiation. The chemically defined differentiation medium further improves the differentiation efficiency of muscle stem cells, and provides a more efficient and inexpensive method for differentiation of muscle stem cells into myotubes, and for 3D culture of muscle stem cells to produce cell cultured meat.
