Influence of pre-treatment methods on quality indicators and mineral composition of plant milk from different sources of raw materials.

Background: Pre-treatment of plant materials is essential in producing plant-based products and can affect their various organoleptic and physicochemical characteristics. This work aimed to study the effect of pre-treatment of vegetable raw materials, namely ultrasonic processing and freezing of raw materials under various low-temperature conditions, to obtain multiple types of vegetable milk and determine their characteristics.

Results: It is shown that by applying a certain kind of pre-treatment of vegetable raw materials it is possible to adjust organoleptic parameters and the content of solids, protein, fat, carbohydrates, fiber and mineral composition of various types of vegetable milk from soy, rice, oats, wheat, peas, buckwheat, pumpkin seeds and lentils.

[The mathematical model for immunological aging rate evaluation].

The mathematical model was created to evaluate the immunological age and immunological aging rate in men between 31 and 81. This model enables to evaluate the immunity aging rate among men of this age, diagnose the patients with the increased aging rate by determining their immunological age, and use it for the follow-up monitoring of the aging process and evaluation of the therapeutic and rehabilitation treatment efficiency for this group of people.

[Conformation of the ribosomal protein S1 of Thermus thermophilus in solution under different ionic conditions].

The structure of protein SI of Thermus thermophilus (M = 61 kDa) in solution at low and moderate ionic strengths (0 M and 100 mM NaCl, respectively) has been studied by small-angle X-ray and neutron scattering. It was found that protein S1 has a globular conformation under both ionic conditions. The modelling of different packing of six homologous domains of S1 on the basis of the NMR-resolved structure of one domain showed that the best fit of calculated scattering patterns from such complexes to experimental ones is observed at a compact package of the domains.
