Thirty samples of Jersey milk were analysed for each of titratable acidity, free carbon dioxide, carbonates, citric acid and citrates, casein, lactalbumin and lactoglobulin, and inorganic phosphates. Partial correlation coefficients were calculated for titratable acidity with each of the other variables. The only significant one was that between titratable acidity and inorganic phosphates. Therefore it is concluded that inorganic phosphates are the primary cause of the acidity of fresh milk.

ABSTRACT In 210 subfertile men there existed a significant positive correlation between serum FSH and LH (0.41). No correlation was observed between the gonadotrophin levels and testosterone. In contrast to this FSH as well as LH were negatively correlated with the natural logarithm (In) of the sperm count/ml ejaculate (−0.44 and −0.18, respectively). When the positive correlation which existed between FSH and LH was used to calculate partial correlation coefficients, the coefficient between FSH and ln sperm count did hardly change (−0.41) the coefficient between LH and ln sperm count on the other hand became insignificant (−0.05). This suggests that spermatogenesis influences FSH serum levels in subfertile men by a decreased suppression when sperm production is diminished. Testicular biopsies taken from 97 of these patients were used to determine biopsy scores. These scores showed a significant negative correlation with FSH (−0.34) and a positive one with ln sperm count/ml ejaculate (0.45). Interestingly the biopsy score of 16 patients who fertilized their wives, was found to be higher compared with the score of the other patients who did not fertilize. The number of sperm/ml ejaculate and the FSH values of these 2 groups of biopsied patients were, however, not significantly different. This leads to the conclusion that the biopsy score is a better parameter for the evaluation of oligospermic men than either sperm count or FSH serum values.

Abstract The amino acid, betaine, polyphenolics, ash, and phosphorus contents, and the titratable acidity of 32 samples of commercial orange juices and reconstituted orange juices were determined. Wide variations in the levels of these constituents were found but there were no significant differences between the juices and the reconstituted juices. Highly significant correlations were established between the levels of the amino acids, betaine, polyphenolics, ash, and phosphorus. The titratable acidity levels failed to show any significant correlation to any of the other constituents. Multiple regression equations were developed to express the interrelationships between some of the components, and correlation coefficients of combined distributions were calculated.

Babygold 5 (BG5) and Redhaven (RDH) peaches at maturity 4 were held at 2.3°C for 0, 2 and 4 weeks. After each cold storage treatment half of the fruit sample was evaluated; the other half was ripened for 8 days at 21°C and respiration was measured daily. The evaluations on both samples were for malic, citric and quinic acids, titratable acidity (TA), soluble solids (SS) and flesh firmness. Malic acid in ripened BG5 and RDH Fruits increased relative to their unripened counterpart over the cold storage time; citric acid increased in BG5, decreased in RDH; quinic acid decreased in both cultivars; TA increased; SS decreased in BG5, did not change in RDH; flesh firmness increased in BG5, did not change in RDH. Respiratory rate increased with cold storge time in both cultivars. Overall, BG5 showed more susceptibility to chilling than RDH.

SUMMARYLength and diameter of teats were measured on first-lactation cows at Danish progeny testing stations. The cows were also classified into four groups according to shape of teat and teat tip. All traits were corrected for yield level and interval after calving and correlated with milking characteristics. The conclusions drawn were:1. Teat length influences both average rate of milk flow and yield on hand stripping. The most satisfactory milking is obtained in cows with short teats. In Red Danish, Black and White Danish and Jersey cows, respectively, desirable length of fore teat is ≤ 6, ≤ 6, and ≤ 5 cm, and of rear teat about 1 cm shorter.2. Teat diameter is of no significant importance to average rate of milk flow, but yield on hand stripping is most satisfactory when the diameter is ≤ 2·4 cm.3. Teat shape must be very extreme before an adverse influence is recorded on average rate of milk flow and yield on hand stripping.4. The milking characteristics of cows are correlated with shape of the teat tip. The highest rate of milk flow and the lowest yield on hand stripping is found in cows with flat and concave teat tips.5. A relationship exists between teat length and the shape of the teat tip, and partial correlation coefficients show that of the teat traits investigated the most important factor affecting average rate of milk flow is the shape of the teat tip whilst teat length—similar to the effect of teat diameter—is of greater importance to the yield on hand stripping. Investigations into the possible consequences for udder health must, however, be conducted before selection for a special shape of the teat tips is introduced.

Chemical Profiles

Sugars, pigments, and organic and phenolic acids were examined in three name clones of lowbush blueberries (V. angustifolium Aiton) during two seasons. Between the two seasons, glucose and fructose content was not different, but anthocyanin content differed by 40%. Also, titratable acidity differed by 40%, and total acid content (as measured by HPLC) by 60%. Differences in total acid content between the two seasons could be attributed to changes in some, but not all, acids. Acid content of berries of different maturities suggested that some, but not all, acids decreased as fruit ripened. Although the acid profile was different in the 2 years of the study, overall the lowbush blueberry profile was distinct from that recently reported for highbush and rabbiteye blueberries [Ehlenfeldt et al., HortScience 29(4):321–323]. Succinic acid was absent in lowbush fruit, and there was a higher level of quinic acid than found in highbush or rabbiteye blueberries. Citric acid was present in lowbush fruit at a level intermediate between the other Vaccinium species.

The Relationship

Capsaicinoid content, among other factors, affects the perception of spiciness of commercial kimchi. Here, we investigated whether the physicochemical properties of kimchi affect the spicy taste of capsaicinoids perceived by the tasting. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used to evaluate the capsaicinoid content (mg/kg) of thirteen types of commercial kimchi. The physicochemical properties such as pH, titratable acidity, salinity, free sugar content, and free amino acid content were evaluated, and the spicy strength grade was determined by selected panel to analyze the correlation between these properties. Panels were trained for 48 h prior to actual evaluation by panel leaders trained for over 1000 h according to the SpectrumTM method. Partial correlation analysis was performed to examine other candidate parameters that interfere with the sensory evaluation of spiciness and capsaicinoid content. To express the specific variance after eliminating the effects of other variables, partial correlations were used to estimate the relationships between two variables. We observed a strong correlation between spiciness intensity ratings and capsaicinoid content, with a Pearson’s correlation coefficient of 0.78 at p ≤ 0.001. However, other specific variables may have influenced the relationship between spiciness intensity and total capsaicinoid content. Partial correlation analysis indicated that the free sugar content most strongly affected the relationship between spiciness intensity and capsaicinoid content, showing the largest first-order partial correlation coefficient (rxy/z: 0.091, p ≤ 0.01).

This study represents the first nationwide survey regarding the distribution of Cd content in cacao-growing soils in Colombia. The soil Cd distribution was analyzed using a cold/hotspots model. Moreover, both descriptive and predictive analytical tools were used to assess the key factors regulating the Cd concentration, considering Cd content and eight soil variables in the cacao systems. A critical discussion was performed in four main cacao-growing districts. Our results suggest that the performance of a model using all the variables will always be superior to the one using Zn alone. The analyzed variables featured an appropriate predictive performance, nonetheless, that performance has to be improved to develop a prediction method that might be used nationwide. Results from the fitted graphical models showed that the largest associations (as measured by the partial correlation coefficients) were those between Cd and Zn. Ca had the second-largest partial correlation with Cd and its predictive performance ranked second. Interestingly, it was found that there was a high variability in the factors correlated with Cd in cacao growing soils at a national level. Therefore, this study constitutes a baseline for the forthcoming studies in the country and should be reinforced with an analysis of cadmium content in cacao beans.

Gradual Loss

The thermal stability and acidic characteristics of Al interlayered montmorillonite were affected by citric acid which was present during its formation. Perturbation to the formation of Al interlayers by citric acid resulted in more gradual loss of their structural water in the 430 °C to 520 °C region at initial citric acid/Al molar ratios of 0.1 and 0.5. The data clearly reveal that, besides hydroxy-Al polymers, hydroxy-Al-citrate complexes adsorbed on the surfaces of montmorillonite very substantially contribute to the total and third buffer range titratable acidity of the clay.
