[ Method] Two hundred ROSS broilers at age of 21 days were designed to five treatment groups, including the positive and negative control treatments, and Group 1 to 3 with feed additive of the commercial non-starch polysaccharide complex enzymes each on base of the negative group diet. At 56 days of age, broilers were killed and meat quality was analyzed. [ Result] The thigh meat color CIELAB a value for the negative control broilers was lower ( P 〈 0.05) than those of the positive control and Group 1. The drip loss of breast meat for Group 1 was the lowest, and the drip loss of thigh meat for the negative control was the highest among all treatments. The shear force for the negative control and Group 3 were higher than those of other three groups. There were no differences (P 〉 0.05) on the contents of chemical components, crude moisture, crude protein, crude fat, crude ash, and inosine acid for breast and thigh meat among all treatments. [ Conclusion] NSP complex enzymes with complete enzyme categories and high enzyme activity can improve meat quality in broilers.展开更多

Single factor experiments were conducted to examine the effects of extracting time,temperature,the solid-liquid ratio and pH value on the extraction yield of polysaccharide from pumpkin. [Method] The best enzyme ratio and extraction conditions for complex enzymes extraction were determined through orthogonal tests. Scavenging ·OH and O-2 activities of pumpkin polysaccharides were also investigated by salicylic acid and improved self-oxidation of o-pheno methods respectively. [Results] The results showed that the biggest extraction yield of polysaccharide from pumpkin can be got when adding 1% cellulose enzyme,1.5% pectinase,1.0% papain and Na2HPO4-citric acid buffer solution (pH was 4.6),and oscillating for 30 min under water at 40 ℃ with the solid-liquid ratio of 1:30. In addition,pumpkin polysaccharides had a strong activity of eliminating ·OH,but very weak activity to scavenge O-2. [Conclusion] This study provided basic data for research and application of Pumpkin polysaccharide.展开更多

The results showed that Fe-HNT, Mo-HNT are effective catalysts, which have similar catalytic activity as HRP. The sequence of catalytic activities of tested biomimic peroxidas is Mo-HNT > Fe-HNT > Zn-HNT > Ni-HNT > Mn-HNT. Among them, Fe-HNT is used as a mimic-enzyme catalyst in determination of ascorbic acid and glucose by coupling the catalytic reaction of glucose oxidase.展开更多

But chromatography dissociates the GDH isoenzymes that synthesize nongenetic code-based RNA enzymes degrading superfluous mRNAs thereby aligning the cellular reactions with the environment of the organism. The aim was to electrophoretically purify human hexameric GDH isoenzymes and to characterize their RNA enzyme synthetic activity as in plants. The outcome could be innovative in chemical dependency diagnosis and management. Multi metrix electrophoresis including free solution isoelectric focusing, and through polyacrylamide and agarose gels were deployed to purify the redox cycle isoenzymes of laryngeal GDH, and to assay their RNA enzyme synthetic activities. The laryngeal GDH displayed the 28 binomial isoenzymes typical of higher organisms. Isoelectric focusing purification produced pure GDH. Redox cycle assays of the GDH isoenzymes produced RNA enzymes that degraded human stomach total RNA. In the reaction mechanism, the Schiff-base intermediate complex between α-ketoglutarate and GDH is the target of nucleophiles, resulting to the disruption of synthesis of glutamate, and RNA enzyme. The strongest nucleophiles are the psychoactive alkaloids of tobacco, cocaine, opium poppy, cannabis smoke because they are capable of reacting with GDH Schiff base intermediate to stimulate synthesis of aberrant RNA enzymes that degrade cohorts of mRNAs thereby changing the biochemical pathways and exacerbating drug overdose and chemical dependency. Electrophoretic purification, and characterization of the RNA enzyme synthetic activity set the forecourt for innovative application of GDH redox cycles in the diagnostic management of chemical dependency.展开更多

[ Result] The experimental results showed that the best technological conditions were reaction temperature 45 ℃, enzyme ratio ( glucoamy- lase/α-amylase)6, the quantity of enzyme (amount of enzyme and starch quality than) is 1.0%, the substrate quantity chroma of 0.14 g/ml, buffer solution pH 4, the reaction time 8 h. In such process condition, the oil adsorption rate of hydrolyzed potato starch was as high as 70.2%, starch hydrolytic ratio was 34.16%.

A total of 120 male broilers, three days of age, were assigned to one of four treatments in a completely randomized design, and housed in groups of five with six cages per treatment. The control diet was based on corn and soybean meal while the three experimental diets consisted of the basal diet supplemented with 0.1% of enzyme I, enzyme II, or probiotic. Enzyme I provided α-galactosidase and fl-mannanase, while enzyme II provided protease, amylase, α-galactosidase, xylanase, and cellulase. The probiotic was composed of Bacillus coagulance, Bacillus lichenformis , Bacillus subtilis , and Clostridium butyricum. Over the 28 day experiment, the weight gain of birds fed the probiotic treatment was superior (P = 0.03 ) to the control, while gains for the enzyme treatments were intermediate to those of the control and probiotic. Feed intake and feed conversion did not differ among treatments (P 〉 0.05 ). Ammonia production was significantly ( P 〈 0.01 ) higher in the control compared with either of the enzyme or probiotic treatments. Compared with the control, supplementation with enzyme H significantly reduced the digestibility of arginine, isoleucine, and lysine (P 〈 0.05 ). In contrast, the digestibility of energy was higher (P 〈 0.01 ) for birds supplemented with enzyme II than the control. Digestibility coeffi- cients did not differ for any other parameter with the exception of energy which was significantly higher for birds fed the probiotic treatment than the control (P 〈 0.01 ). In summary, the performance of broilers was significantly enhanced by the addition of a probiotic to the diet. However, under the conditions of this experi- ment, supplementation with a multi-enzyme complex containing either α-galactosidase and fl-mannanase or the combination of protease, amylase, galactosidase, xylanase, and cellulase failed to improve broiler performance.展开更多
