Spontaneous gelation of wheat gluten proteins in a food grade solvent [PDF]
Food Hydrocolloids 52 (2016) 1-10, 2015 Structuring wheat gluten proteins into gels with tunable mechanical properties would provide more versatility for the production of plant protein-rich food products. Gluten, a strongly elastic protein material insoluble in water, is hardly processable. We use a novel fractionation procedure allowing the isolation from gluten of a water/ethanol soluble ...

Detection of aerosolized varicella-zoster virus DNA in patients with localized herpes zoster.
Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2004 We examined the excretion of varicella zoster virus (VZV) in hospitalized patients with herpes zoster localized to the thoracic region whose skin lesions were covered with either hydrocolloid dressing agents (hydrocolloid group) or conventional gauze ...

Ultrasonic study of the gelation of gelatin: phase diagram, hysteresis and kinetics [PDF]
Food Hydrocolloids 26, 99-107 (2011), 2010 We map the ultrasonic (8 MHz) speed and attenuation of edible-grade gelatin in water, exploring the key dependencies on temperature, concentration and time. The ultrasonic signatures of the sol-gel transition, confirmed by rheological measurements, and incomplete gel formation at low concentrations, enable a phase diagram of the system to be ...
