Effects of acid and alkaline treatments on physicochemical and rheological properties of tilapia surimi prepared by pH shift method during cold storage.

Microbial, physicochemical, rheological, and microstructural changes of surimi prepared by pH shift methods and the traditional water-washing method during cold storage were investigated. The starting aerobic mesophilic count (AMC) of pH shift surimi was around 1 log CFU/g lower than water-washed surimi, suggesting antimicrobial effects of the pH shift. All samples could be stored for 5 to 6 days based on the AMC results.

Plant sterol-enriched soy milk consumption modulates 5-lipoxygenase, 12-lipoxygenase, and myeloperoxidase activities in healthy adults - a randomized-controlled trial.

A randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled and crossover study was conducted to simultaneously measure the effects, after 3-h and 4-week daily exposure to plant sterols-enriched food product, on inflammation, oxidative status, 5-lipoxygenase, 12-lipoxygenase, and myeloperoxidase activities in healthy adults. Eighteen healthy participants (67% female, 35.3 (mean) ± 9.
