    Notes: : The United States Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) considers any hermetically sealed package containing fresh seafood as a reduced oxygen package (ROP) if the oxygen transmission rate of the package is less than 10000 cm3/m2/d. USFDA's recent Import Alert nr 16-125 effectively bans the use of ROP for fresh seafood in the United States unless adequate temperature control and thermal history monitoring is used. Time-temperature integrators (TTI) were proposed as one potential method to satisfy this thermal monitoring requirement. Evaluation and selection of appropriate TTIs remains a difficult process for seafood manufacturers. Three commercially available TTIs (Vitsab M2-10, C2-10, and Fresh-Check TJ2) and 5 prototype TTIs (Avery Dennison) were evaluated for performance against the Skinner and Larkin (1998) botulinum toxin lag-time relationship. Isothermal treatments at 0°C, 5°C, 10°C, and 15°C were used to determine Arrhenius kinetic parameters of TTIs. Computer models were used to predict and compare actual TTI performance under dynamic thermal conditions. Results suggest that Vitsab M2-10 and Avery Dennison T126(2) and T126(4) TTIs may be used to predict safety of fresh seafood in ROP.

    Notes: Styrene-divinylbenzene (SDVB) resins were utilized for the recovery of coldpressed grapefruit oil constituents from model solutions and waste waters. Sorption rates and sorption capacities were determined for a series of resins with model solutions. Citrus oil processing waste water was passed through an upflow column extraction system. Adsorbed oil was desorbed using 95% ethanol and gas chromatographic analysis was performed to determine the quality of the extracted oil. The waste water samples contained suspended solids which reduced the extraction ability of the resins. Major compounds recovered from waste waters were d-limonene and alpha-terpineol. Nootkatone and linalool recovery levels varied, while octanal and decanal were present in extremely low levels in the recovered products.

    Notes: A control logic algorithm is described for use with computer-based control systems on batch retort operations in the thermal processing of canned foods. The system is capable of automatically adjusting process time during the cook cycle to compensate precisely for any unexpected deviation in retort temperature. It takes into account the cooling lethality contributed with conduction-heating foods, and does not rely on any test cans for monitoring product center temperature. Performance is demonstrated by computer-generated plots showing actual retort temperature history along with calculated center temperature and accumulated process lethality; and results are compared with other methods.

    Notes: This article describes the development of a comprehensive procedure for broader application of the General Method in calculating thermal processes. In addition to the capability of calculating lethality (or process time to achieve a specified lethality) for a given set of heat-penetration data, the procedure can also calculate process time or lethality for process conditions different from those of the original heat-penetration tests. The new procedure was experimentally tested against the Ball Formula Method and numerical finite difference methods. It often safely predicted shorter process times than the Ball Formula Method by accurately accounting for slow come-up and cool-down phases of the retort process.

    Notes: The purpose of this work was to develop a means for determining product and process specific thermal kinetic parameters of constituents in foods that do not heat uniformly. The concept of the method of Paired Equivalent Isothermal Exposures (PEIE) was developed for such products. The ability of the PEIE to define Arrhenius parameters from simulated retort experiments was demonstrated. The PEIE was applied to survival data from retort experiments of canned pea puree inoculated with Bacillus stearothermophilus spores (NCA 1518). Mean activation energy and reaction rate constant (at 121.1°C) of the spores in retort processed canned pea puree were Ea= 250 (± 15) kJ/mol and k121.1°C= 0.26 (0.23 〈 k121.1°C 〈0.30) min−1, respectively.

    Notes: An anti-transthyretin (TTR) mouse monoclonal antibody (88.6.FD6)of IgG1 subclass, obtained using as immunogen TTR from the serum of a patient with familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy, was found to bind to sera from carriers of several amyloidogenic TTR variants associated with peripheral neuropathy, but not to normal sera or sera from carriers of non-pathogenic or cardiomyopathic variants, in an ELISA performed under special conditions. Further characterization suggests that it recognizes an epitope near the N-terminal side of the TTR monomer. We propose that this epitope is exposed in amyloid and could be implicated in fibril deposition in the peripheral nervous system.

    Notes: Comparisons of characteristics of recent models and the conventional model of bacterial spore populations during thermal sterilization showed the conventional model was inadequate for general representation because it lacks activation of dormant spores. New models accounting for activation differed in other assumptions but obviated heat shock of indicator spores required when using the conventional model in validations of thermal sterilization. Comparisons of rate constants and simulated and experimental responses of models of B. stearother-mophilus spores in constant and dynamic temperatures showed one new model was more general, more accurate and preferred. Arrhenius equations accurately described temperature dependencies of all rate constants of that model.

    Notes: Optimization of thermal processing in the commercial sterilization of canned foods is of great interest because the canning industry plays an important role within the economy of the food processing sector. Many food canning plants operate in a batch mode with a battery of individual batch retorts. The aim of this study was to propose and analyze several criteria and methodologies for optimum design and operation of such retort systems. Two criteria were proposed in the case of choosing the optimum number of retorts to be installed when designing a new batch-operated canning line. The third criterion dealt with seeking optimum process conditions for maximizing output from a fixed number of retorts when processing small batches of different products and container sizes.In the case of new plant design optimization, one objective was to determine the optimum number of retorts that would minimize on-going processing costs related to labor and energy. Retort scheduling (programming) was studied from which a simple mathematical expression was derived for this purpose. A second objective was to determine the optimum number of retorts that would maximize the net present value of initial investment. Approaches based upon engineering economics were studied from which to develop a mathematical procedure for this purpose. In the case of maximizing output from a fixed number of retorts for different products and container sizes, isolethal processes were identified for various product/containers from which a common set of process conditions could be chosen for simultaneous processing of different product lots in the same retort.

    Description: Interleukin-8 (CXCL8) exerts its role in inflammation by triggering neutrophils via its specific GPC receptors, CXCR1 and CXCR2, for which additional binding to endothelial heparan sulphate glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) is required. We present here a novel approach for blocking the CXCL8-related inflammatory cascade by generating dominant-negative CXCL8 mutants with improved GAG binding affinity and knocked-out CXCR1/CXCR2 activity. These non-signalling CXCL8 decoy proteins are able to displace wild type CXCL8 and to prevent CXCR1/CXCR2 signalling thereby interfering with the inflammatory response. We have designed 14 CXCL8 mutants which we sub-divided into three classes according to number and site of mutations. The decoys were characterised by isothermal fluorescence titrations and surface plasmon resonance to determine GAG affinity. Protein stability and structural changes were evaluated by far-UV circular dichroism spectroscopy and knocked-out GPC receptor response was shown by Boyden chamber and Ca 2+ release assays. From these experiments, CXCL8(D6F17KF21KE70KN71K) emerged with the most promising in vitro characteristics. This mutant was therefore further investigated in a murine model of mBSA-induced arthritis in mice where it showed strong anti-inflammatory activity. Based on these results, we propose that dominant-negative CXCL8 decoy proteins are a promising class of novel biopharmaceuticals with high therapeutic potential in inflammatory diseases.
