Quality, Thermo-Rheology, and Microstructure Characteristics of Cubic Fat Substituted Pork Patties with Composite Emulsion Gel Composed of Konjac Glucomannan and Soy Protein Isolate

Composite emulsion gel can effectively mimic animal adipose tissue.In this study, composite emulsion gels composed of soy protein isolates and konjac glucomannan (KGM) were prepared as plant-based cubic fat substitutes (CFS).The effects of CFS on the quality and structure of pork patties were investigated in terms of the proximate composition, lipi

Copper delivery to an endospore coat protein of Bacillus subtilis

A family of cytosolic copper (Cu) storage proteins (the Csps) bind large quantities of Cu(I) via their Cys-lined four-helix bundles, and the majority are cytosolic (Csp3s).The presence of Csp3s in many bacteria appears inconsistent with the current dogma that bacteria, unlike eukaryotes, have evolved not to maintain intracellular pools of Cu due to
