SummarySlow, irreversible aggregation of whey proteins in acidified milk or whey at pH 3·4–4·6 held for up to 10 d at 35–45°C was revealed by the reduction of discrete bands in disc electrophoresis. The aggregation was confirmed by precipitation of protein observed in stored, acid whey. The rate of aggregation of all protein fractions increased with the acidity and the storage temperature. It was enhanced by the presence of casein, but was unaffected by the presence of milk fat or by pasteurization of the fresh, unacidified milk at 70°C. The effect may contribute to the physical properties of certain fresh cheeses and other cultured dairy products.

The doctoral thesis “Valorisation of whey for lactose recycling products production” was developed from 2016 to 2021. Experiments were carried out in the research laboratories of the Faculty of Food Technology, Latvia University of Life Sciences and Technologies; Dairy Innovation Institute, California Polytechnic State University (USA); Institute of Microbiology and Biotechnology, Latvia University; Faculty of Chemistry, Latvia University; Institute of Solid State Physics, Latvia University and J.S. Hamilton Baltic Ltd. The aim of the doctoral thesis was to improve the lactose hydrolysis process for obtaining glucose-galactose and oligosaccharide syrups. The hypothesis of the doctoral thesis – the two-stage fermentation increases the sweetness of glucose-galactose syrup. The hypothesis of the doctoral thesis has been confirmed by the defended thesis: 1. The presence of cations affects the β-galactosidase activity in the sweet and acid whey permeate. 2. The chemical composition and quality of whey affect the physical properties of lactose. 3. Enzymatic reactions affect the functional and sensory properties of syrups. The research objects – sweet and acid whey permeates, glucose isomerase, commercial β-galactosidases and glucose-galactose syrup. The following tasks were set to achieve the aim of the doctoral thesis: 1. To evaluate the effect of cation concentration to ensure the β-galactosidase activity in substrate. 2. To investigate the physical properties of whey lactose in order to better understand its behaviour. 3. To study the changes of monosaccharide concentration in the lactose hydrolysis, varying with the solids concentration of the substrates and enzyme units. 4. To assess the possibilities of glucose isomerase to increase the sweetness of glucose-galactose syrup. 5. To evaluate the sensory properties of the developed syrups. The novelty of the doctoral thesis: 1. The study of the relationship of lactose hydrolysis process in the formation of galacto-oligosaccharides and lactulose. 2. The combination of β-galactosidase and glucose isomerase increases the sweetness of glucose-galactose syrup. The economic significance of the doctoral thesis: 1. The studies have shown the possibility to obtain syrup that can be used as sugar and sweeteners replacer in the food industry and to produce functional products. 2. A technological solution for hydrolysis of lactose is proposed, comprehensively evaluating the physical properties of lactose, fermentation parameters and whey composition. The doctoral thesis consists of three chapters: Chapter 1 describes the composition of whey and the possibilities of using it. An overview of the chemical and physical properties of lactose, lactose hydrolysis methods, the application of β-galactosidases and the properties of glucose-galactose syrup are provided. Chapter 2 summarises the materials and methods used in the thesis. Chapter 3 provides a summary of the results obtained in the study, the properties of commercial enzymes in different cation concentrations, the stability of enzymes in the gastrointestinal tract model, methods for the determination of lactose, the properties of dehydrated permeates are evaluated. The influence of factors on the hydrolysis of permeates and the profile of the obtained sugars was analysed. Possibilities for lactulose synthesis are considered. Sensory analysis of glucose-galactose syrups and syrups obtained in the two-stage fermentation are given. During the PhD studies the author had an internship at the Dairy Innovation Institute California Polytechnic State University (USA), where the experimental work was done. Internship was provided by the Baltic – American Freedom Foundation (BAFF) and the Council on International Education Exchange (CIEE). The study was partly financed by the LLU programme “Strengthening Research Capacity at the Latvia University of Agriculture” grant (Contract No. 3.2.-10/2017/LLU/27) “The optimization of bioprocesses for lactose recycling products”. The study was partly financed by the doctoral studies grant “Transition to the new doctoral funding model at the Latvia University of Life Sciences and Technologies” (Contract No. 3.2.-10/90). The thesis is written in English, it consists of 111 pages, 32 tables, 41 figures, 3 appendixes, and 233 bibliographic sources.

Ap Stars

The Ap stars are numerous - the photometric systems tool It would be very tedious to review in detail all that which is in the literature concerning the photometry of the Ap stars. In my opinion it is necessary to examine the problem of the photometric properties of the Ap stars by considering first of all the possibility of deriving some physical properties for the Ap stars, or of detecting new ones. My talk today is prepared in this spirit. The classification by means of photoelectric photometric systems is at the present time very well established for many systems, such as UBV, uvbyβ, Vilnius, Geneva and DDO systems. Details and methods of classification can be found in Golay (1974) or in the proceedings of the Albany Colloquium edited by Philip and Hayes (1975).

The bullet-shaped viruses are currently classified together on the basis of similarities in virion morphology and physical properties. Biologically and ecologically the member viruses are extremely diverse. In searching for further bases for making comparisons of these agents, the nature of host cell infection, both in vivo and in cultured cells, has been explored by thin-section electron microscopy.

Definition Of

Although most materials contain more than one phase, and thus are multiphase materials, the definition of composite materials is commonly used to describe those materials containing more than one phase deliberately added to obtain certain desired physical properties. Composite materials are often classified according to their application, i.e. structural composites and electronic composites, but may also be classified according to the type of compounds making up the composite, i.e. metal/ceramic, ceramic/ceramie and metal/semiconductor composites. For structural composites it is also common to refer to the type of structural reinforcement; whisker-reinforced, fiber-reinforced, or particulate reinforced composites [1-4].For all types of composite materials, it is of fundamental importance to understand the relationship between the microstructure and the observed physical properties, and it is therefore vital to properly characterize the microstructure. The interfaces separating the different phases comprising the composite are of particular interest to understand. In structural composites the interface is often the weakest part, where fracture will nucleate, and in electronic composites structural defects at or near the interface will affect the critical electronic properties.
