Abstract: A textured whey protein product for use as a meat extender, meat analog, or snack food is prepared by thermoplastic extrusion of a composition containing whey protein and optionally an edible polysaccharide, such as cornstarch. Whey protein can also be mixed with other edible proteins in certain embodiments of the invention. Puffing of the extruded product results in an expanded snack food product. Methods of making the meat extender product and the snack food product are also disclosed.

Abstract: Antigens can be captured and detected from complex samples, such as food and environmental samples, in about 30 minutes using apparatus and methods that include flow of the samples through a module containing antibodies coupled to beads. The samples flow through the modified beads at about 0.2 to 1.2 liters/minute, which fluidizes the bead bed. The antigens are captured by the antibodies, and then detection of the captured antibodies is carried out with chemiluminescence, fluorescence, or spectrophotometric techniques.
