Abstract
In the present study, debittered Moringa Oleifera seed flour (DDMF) rich in protein, vitamins, minerals and balanced amino acid and fatty acid profile was used to develop functional cookies. DDMF was incorporated at 25, 50, 75 and 100% levels and studied their effect on flour rheological, physicochemical, micro-structural, sensory and nutritional properties of cookies. The results revealed that the addition of an increasing amount of DDMF from 0 to 100% increased water absorption (59.5-77%) by farinograph study; cookie dough hardness (89.2-284.7 N); decreased pasting temperature (60.2-30.1 °C) and peak viscosity (696-9 BU) by amylograph study. SEM studies of cookies indicated that, in control cookies, starch granules are completely gelatinized and enmeshed in the gluten protein matrix, whereas, in 50% DDMF incorporated cookies, partially gelatinized starch granules are seen embedded in a weak protein matrix. Sensory evaluation showed that incorporating DDMF, up to 50% of cookies had clean mouthfeel without any residue formation and were highly acceptable; however, beyond that limit, they became brittle. The addition of 50% DDMF increased cookies' in-vitro protein digestibility, mineral contents, and fatty acids content. Thus, the nutritional quality of cookies concerning quantity and quality of protein and fat could be enhanced by incorporating DDMF.

Abstract
Incorporation of Spirulina in milk as thermally dried powder has the disadvantages of non-uniform distribution with undesirable odor and flavor. Through homogenization (200 ± 10 bar), complete dispersion of fresh Spirulina biomass (7% w/w) in milk was achieved and thereafter a carotenoid enriched probiotic yogurt was developed. Confocal microscopy revealed porous Spirulina-milk protein matrix integrated with smaller fat globules in the yogurt. Spirulina led to a 29.56% increase in Lactobacillus acidophilus count, a 20% reduction in fermentation time and a total probiotic count of 1.2 × 107 CFU mL-1. The protein, total chlorophyll, total carotenoid and β-carotene content (on dry w/w basis) were 3.58 ± 0.08 g 100 g-1, 0.407 ± 0.018 mg g-1, 0.235 ± 0.016 mg g-1 and 13.28 ± 0.08 µg g-1, respectively. During storage (18 days at 6-8 °C), the L. acidophilus count reached 8.83 ± 0.11 log CFU mL-1 with 103.03% increase in the viability by day three and the yogurt retained 71.5% carotenoids. The probiotc Spirulina yogurt was found to be acceptable to consumers as evaluated by affective consumer test.

Abstract
Cold pressed and hexane extracted moringa seed oils (CPMSO and HEMSO) were evaluated for their physico-chemical and stability characteristics. The iodine value, saponification value and unsaponifiable matter of CPMSO and HEMSO were found to be 67.8 and 68.5 g I2 / 100 g oil, 190.4 and 191.2 mg KOH / g oil and 0.59 and 0.65%, respectively. The total tocopherols of CPMSO and HEMSO were found to be 95.5 and 90.2 mg/Kg. The fatty acid composition of CPMSO and HEMSO showed oleic acid as the major fatty acid (78-79%). The oxidative, thermal and frying stabilities of the CPMSO were compared with commercial raw and refined groundnut oil (GNO and RGNO). The CPMSO was of adequate thermal stability and better oxidative stability as it showed 79% lesser peroxide formation than GNO. The frying stability of CPMSO was better as it showed lower increase in free fatty acid (28%), peroxide value (10 meq O2/Kg) and color (25%) than RGNO (48%, 22 meq O2/kg and 52%, respectively) after frying.

Abstract
Heat processing of soybeans alters its structural behavior, solubility, and in turn the functional properties. Heat-processed soy flour was prepared by autoclaving the defatted soy flour at 121 °C at 15 psi. The effect of enzymatic modification on the structural changes and functional properties of heat-processed soy flour was investigated. The combination of heat processing and enzymatic modification was carried out in two ways: (1) enzymatic modification followed by autoclaving and (2) autoclaving followed by enzymatic modification. Defatted soy flour (control), autoclaved soy flour, enzyme-modified flour, enzyme-modified and then autoclaved flour, autoclaved and then enzyme-modified flour were analyzed for physico-chemical and functional properties. Molecular weight profile of the protein was altered depending on the nature of treatments. Structural studies showed that enzymatic modification gave a porous type morphology to the particles. Enzymatic modification of autoclaved soy flour increased its surface hydrophobicity to 3136±400 units from 600±100 units of autoclaved soy flour. The results indicated that enzymatic modification of autoclaved soy flour increased its acid solubility (pH 4—4.5) from 17% to 56% over a control value of 24%. The foaming capacity of the enzyme-modified and then autoclaved soy flour was 80% while that of the autoclaved and then enzyme-modified flour was 42%. The soy flour that was autoclaved and then enzyme modified showed better emulsifying properties (174 mL oil/g flour) than the flour that was enzyme-modified and then autoclaved. The modified soy flour based on its functional and physico-chemical properties should find application in many food systems.

Abstract
Protein hydrolysate was prepared from visceral waste proteins of Catla (Catla catla), an Indian freshwater major carp. Hydrolysis conditions (viz., time, temperature, pH and enzyme to substrate level) for preparing protein hydrolysates from the fish visceral waste proteins were optimized by response surface methodology (RSM) using a factorial design. Model equation was proposed with regard to the effect of time, temperature, pH and enzyme to substrate level. An enzyme to substrate level of 1.5% (v/w), pH 8.5, temperature of 50 degrees C and a hydrolysis time of 135 min were found to be the optimum conditions to obtain a higher degree of hydrolysis close to 50% using alcalase. The amino acid composition of the protein hydrolysate prepared using the optimized conditions revealed that the protein hydrolysate was similar to FAO/WHO reference protein. The chemical scores computed indicated methionine to be the most limiting amino acid. The protein hydrolysate can well be used to meet the amino acid requirements of juvenile common carp and hence has the potential for application as an ingredient in balanced fish diets.

Abstract
Protein hydrolysate was prepared from pre-treated sheep visceral mass (including stomach, large and small intestines) by enzymatic treatment at 43+/-1 degrees C (at the in situ pH 7.1+/-0.2 of the visceral mass) using fungal protease. The enzyme readily solubilized the proteins of the visceral mass as indicated by the degree of hydrolysis (34%) and nitrogen recovery (>64%). Hydrolysis with an enzyme level of 1% (w/w of total solids) at 43+/-1 degrees C with a pH around 7.0 for 45 min was found to be the optimum condition. The yield of protein hydrolysate was about 6% (w/w). The amino acid composition of the protein hydrolysate that was very hygroscopic, was comparable to that of casein.

Abstract
Preferential interaction parameters of multisubunit protein, alpha-globulin and monomeric protein human serum albumin (HSA) were determined in different cosolvents using precision densitymetry. The apparent partial specific volumes were determined under both isomolal and isopotential conditions for alpha-globulin in 0.02 M glycine-NaOH buffer at pH 10 and the values were 0.692+/-0.002 and 0.688+/-0.001, ml/g, respectively, at 20.00+/-0.01 degrees C. From the partial specific volume data with cosolvents the preferential interaction parameter (xi3) and other thermodynamic parameters were calculated at different solvent concentrations. The (xi3) values increased with an increase in the solvent concentration up to 30% and reached a maximum with the values of-0.111+/-0.018 g/g and -0.076+/-0.012 g/g in sucrose and sorbitol, respectively. In glycerol the (xi3) values decreased with an increase in solvent concentration. The above data is further supported by thermal denaturation profiles in which the apparent thermal denaturation temperature (apparent Tm) of alpha-globulin shows an increase from 63 degrees C to higher temperatures in the order of sucrose, sorbitol and glycerol. Alpha-globulin showed coagulation due to protein interaction at temperatures above 50 degree C. The apparent Tm of 63 degrees C for control protein was increased significantly up to 75 degrees C in 40% sorbitol with two fold increase in the delta(S) values showing the increased structural stability of alpha-globulin. At high solvent concentration the protein gets dissociated and the resultant monomers are hydrated which was evident by fluorescence data and the difference spectral results with a 6nm red shift in the emission maximum and 2 nm blue shift in UV-absorption maximum arising out of perturbation of aromatic chromophores. The studies were performed both at native pH of 7.9 where the protein is in its oligomeric form and at pH of 10 where it is dissociated form and the results compared. The data showed that the solvent is excluded more from the protein vicinity in the dissociated state.

Abstract
Protective antigen (PA) is the binding component of anthrax lethal toxin produced by Bacillus anthracis, and constitutes a major ingredient of the vaccine against anthrax. PA and lethal factor when added together are cytolytic to mouse macrophages and J774G8 macrophage cell line. This in vitro lethal toxicity assay is very useful in understanding the molecular mechanism of action of lethal toxin. Effective utilization of PA is, however, hampered due to its thermolability. On prolonged storage at 37 degrees C, PA was found to lose its activity almost completely. The effect of solvent additives like trehalose, sorbitol, xylitol, sodium citrate and magnesium sulphate on the thermal stabilization of PA was examined. The results indicated an increase in the stability of PA when the incubation at 37 degrees C was carried out in the presence of solvent additives used in the 1-3 M range. Magnesium sulphate helped retain the activity up to 82.7% against the control in which no additive was used, as judged by cytolytic assay using J774G8 macrophage cell line. Trehalose or sodium citrate also showed an appreciable protection of PA activity, while sorbitol or xylitol were not very effective. Competitive binding assay using radiolabeled PA showed that PA had lost capacity of binding to macrophage cells on prolonged incubation at 37 degrees C. Circular dichroism results at 4, 18, and 37 degrees C indicated an increase in secondary structure at 37 degrees C relative to that at 4 or 18 degrees C, supporting the activity data.

Abstract
The transition temperature of irreversible thermal inactivation of alpha-amylase from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens was estimated to be 60 degrees C. At this temperature, the enzyme inactivation followed first-order kinetics, having a half-life (t 1/2) of 12 min with a rate constant (k) of 0.06 min-1. Conformational change was a prerequisite for this thermal inactivation. This is governed by stepwise temperature-dependent phenomena. Among the solvent stabilizers tested, the enzyme was thermally stable in presence of DMSO and PEG 300 and the stabilizing efficiency of these cosolvents was concentration-dependent. The enzyme was partially stabilized by 5.0 M DMSO and 1.9 M PEG 300 up to 78 degrees C. However, above 78 degrees C the enzyme was inactivated in these cosolvents also. The mechanism of stabilization has been explained by preferential hydration of the enzyme in these structure stabilizing solvents by exclusion from the protein surface and interface by measurement of partial specific volume in these cosolvents. The data suggest a high value of preferential interaction parameter, (delta g3/delta g2)tau, mu 1, mu 3 being -0.606/g/g g/g in 40% DMSO and a low value of -0.025 g/g in 5% glycerol. The preferential interaction parameters in sucrose and glycerol suggests that (delta g3/delta g2)tau, mu 1, mu 3m is highest of -0.420 g/g in 10% glycerol than any other cosolvent.
