Chemical Modification of Egg White with 3, 3-Dimethylglutaric Anhydride

SUMMARY— Egg white, near its normal concentration, was reacted at 25°C, pH 9.0, with levels of 3,3-dimethylglutaric anhydride (DMGA) from 0 to 60 mol/mol egg white protein (EWP) (assuming egg white to have an average mol wt of 50,000). Analysis for amino acids and functional groups showed about 26% of the lysine residues reacted at 15 mol DMGA/mol EWP. Sulfhydryls are more resistant to reaction with 60% unreacted at 150 mol DMGA/mol EWP. Electrophoresis indicates significant changes in net charges on the protein, particularly on lysozyme which migrates anodically in six separate bands at higher DMGA levels. Ultracentrifugation sedimentation data suggest no hydrolysis or aggregation changes. Foam formation is not seriously altered, but the heat coagulation properties, as evidenced by angel cake failures, are changed. As measured by viscosity, light transmission and aerating ability, DMGA exerts a protective action against the effect of heat on these properties.     

COLD GELATION OF WHEY PROTEIN EMULSIONS

Stable and homogeneous emulsion‐filled gels were prepared by cold gelation of whey protein isolate (WPI) emulsions. A suspension of heat‐denatured WPI (soluble WPI aggregates) was mixed with a 40% (w/w) oil‐in‐water emulsion to obtain gels with varying concentrations of WPI aggregates and oil. For emulsions stabilized with native WPI, creaming was observed upon mixing of the emulsion with a suspension of WPI aggregates, likely as a result of depletion flocculation induced by the differences in size between the droplets and aggregates. For emulsions stabilized with soluble WPI aggregates, the obtained filled suspension was stable against creaming, and homogeneous emulsion‐filled gels with varying protein and oil concentrations were obtained. Large deformation properties of the emulsion‐filled cold‐set WPI gels were determined by uniaxial compression. With increasing oil concentration, the fracture stress increases slightly, whereas the fracture strain decreases slightly. Small deformation properties were determined by oscillatory rheology. The storage modulus after 16 h of acidification was taken as a measure of the gel stiffness. Experimental results were in good agreement with predictions according to van der Poel's theory for the effect of oil concentration on the stiffness of filled gels. Especially, the influence of the modulus of the matrix on the effect of the oil droplets was in good agreement with van der Poel's theory.     

INTEGRATING-SPHERE ERRORS IN THE COLORIMETRY OF FLUORESCENT MATERIALS

The wavelength dependence of the efficiency of an integrating sphere alters the relative spectral irradiance of the light-source system of which it is a part. Since the total radiance factor (reflected plus fluoresced energy) of a fluorescent material depends upon this irradiance, wavelength-dependent changes in the efficiency of the integrating sphere can lead to significant variations in the total radiance factor. Such variations can result from changes in the fractional area of the sample port, changes in the sphere wall coating, or the change from specular component included to excluded. Conditions minimizing the importance of these variations are described, but for the accurate colorimetry of fluorescent materials, the use of45°/0° geometry is recommended.     

Structural and Dielectric Studies in the System (Ba, Ca) (Ti, Zr)O3

The crystalline phases in the system (Ba, Ca) (Ti, Zr)O₃ were identified and their lattice dimensions were determined from X-ray powder patterns of fired ceramic disks. Compositions near the BaTiO₃-BaZrO₃ and CaTiO₃-CaZrO₃ sides of the composition square gave evidence of complete solid solution, whereas all intermediate compositions contained two separate phases. Variations in the temperature of the Curie point and in aging rate were found to correlate reasonably well with variations in the character of the crystal structure.
