Article Synopsis
  • The study examined how adding soybean protein isolate (SPI) affects the production of harmful compounds called heterocyclic aromatic amines (HAAs) in roasted pork.
  • It found that a 2.5% addition of SPI increased the levels of all five HAAs, but higher amounts led to a decrease after an initial increase.
  • Specifically, 10.0% SPI significantly inhibited two types of HAAs, while heating SPI increased both amino acids and carbonyl groups, suggesting that the heat-treated SPI contributes to HAA formation by providing necessary precursors.

A new strain of high ammonia nitrogen tolerant and heterotrophic nitrification-aerobic denitrification bacterium TN-14 was isolated from the environment. Its physiological and biochemical characteristics and molecular identification, performences of heterotrophic nitrification-aerobic, the abilities of resistance to ammonia nitrogen as well as the decontamination abilities were studied, respectively. It was preliminary identified as Acinetobacter sp.

Piggery wastewater was used as a cheap alternative medium for a bioflocculant-producing bacterial flora B-737. Effects of COD concent, addition of ammonium oxalate or phosphate on the cell growth and bioflocculant yield were investigated, and the fermentation kinetics was studied in the optimal culture media. The results showed that the piggery wastewater (COD was about 3000 mg x L(-1), TN was about 170 mg x L(-1)) had a suitable C/N ratio for the growth and fermentation of flora B-737, with addition of only 1.
