The influence of different heat treatment levels on the contents of alkylresorcinol and homologues (ARs) was evaluated using wheat bran from two different wheat cultivars. The ARs in the wheat bran were destroyed by all heat treatments investigated in this study (oven treatment, microwave treatment, autoclave treatment, and extrusion treatment). The results showed that the loss rate of ARs by different heat treatment was oven treatment > autoclave treatment > extrusion treatment > microwave treatment, indicating that microwave treatment was more suitable for stabilizing wheat bran than the other three heat treatments. Both temperature and time of heat treatment had effects on the ARs of wheat bran. Higher temperatures and longer times of the treatment resulted in higher loss rates of ARs of wheat bran. The thermal stability of ARs homologues was different between wheat varieties, which may result from the variance of their structure and other components in wheat bran.

ABSTRACTMicrowave mutagenesis of Brevibacillus parabrevis for enhanced cellulase production was attempted. Though microwave treatment could alter the cellulase activity of the test bacterium, none of the mutants obtained were found to be genetically stable, indicating the reversible nature of microwave-induced mutation(s). Thermal stability of the B. parabrevis cellulase was also investigated. This enzyme was found to be capable of retaining its activity even after heat treatment (50-121°C, for 30-60 min). Fluorescence spectrum revealed a red shift in the emission maxima of the heat-treated enzyme preparations, indicating some structural change upon heating, but no major loss of activity was observed. This enzyme was found to be active over a broad temp range, with 90°C as the optimum temp, which is interesting as the producing organism is a mesophile.

The bio- and hemocompatibility of titanium alloys are due to the formation of a TiO2layer. This natural oxide may have fissures which are detrimental to its properties. Anodic oxidation is used to obtain thicker films. By means of this technique, at low voltages oxidation, amorphous and low roughness coatings are obtained, while, above a certain voltage, crystalline and porous coatings are obtained. According to the literature, the crystalline phases of TiO2, anatase, and rutile would present greater biocompatibility than the amorphous phase. On the other hand, for hemocompatible applications, smooth and homogeneous surfaces are required. One way to obtain crystalline and homogeneous coatings is by heat treatments after anodic oxidation. The aim of this study is to evaluate the influence of heat treatments on the thickness, morphology, and crystalline structure of the TiO2anodic coatings. The characterization was performed by optical and scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray reflectometry. Coatings with different colors of interference were obtained. There were no significant changes in the surface morphology and roughness after heat treatment of 500°C. Heat treated coatings have different proportions of the crystalline phases, depending on the voltage of anodic oxidation and the temperature of the heat treatment.

In an attempt to decide the question whether enhanced oxygen diffusion is important for heat-treatments of silicon at ∼450ºC where thermal donors are formed we have conducted two types of experiments aimed at providing a measure of the “effective” oxygen diffusivity. First, we have extensively measured the temperature dependence of the thermal donor introduction rate for very short heat treatment times (20min). This measurement provides the thermal activation energy of TD formation. Since effects of long range diffusion and formation of large oxygen clusters are negligible for suchtimes and temperatures and, presumably, thermal donor formation at the lowest heat treatment temperatures is oxygen diffusion limited, it should be possible to interprete the obtained activation energy in terms of oxygen diffusivity. The change of the interstitialoxygen content is immeasureable for 20min heat treatment times. Therefore, the decay of the interstitial oxygen content was measured for longer heat treatments at 450ºC (up to 500hours). The two experiments are complementary in several ways: In one experiment the oxygen diffusion activation energy is extracted, while the other measurement provides the value of the diffusion coefficient at a given temperature. In one case thermal donors are monitored for short heat treatment times while in the other experiment the interstitial oxygen content is measured for long heat treatment times. The present measurements are different from other diffusion experiments in this temperature range where theatomic jump of isolated oxygen is monitored [1]. Here we attempt to extract an effective oxygen diffusivity under conditions of thermal donor formation since the thermal donor formation process itself might be the cause of an enhanced oxygen diffusivity.

The influence of the filament microstructure on the critical current density values, Jc, of Nb-Ti multifilamentary superconducting composites has been well documented. However the development of these microstructures during composite processing is still under investigation.During manufacture, the multifilamentary composite is given several heat treatments interspersed in the wire-drawing schedule. Typically, these heat treatments are for 5 to 80 hours at temperatures between 523 and 573K. A short heat treatment of approximately 3 hours at 573K is usually given to the wire at final size. Originally this heat treatment was given to soften the copper matrix, but recent work has shown that it can markedly change both the Jc value and microstructure of the composite.

The efficiency of time-temperature treatment (T-TT) on metal melts can be microstructurally analysed through their degree of purity in non-metallic inclusions. In the case of the Ni-based super alloy under discussion (MSRR 7045) the heat treatment was the undercooling consequences both on the durability of the casting environment (ingots-refractories) and on the internal structure of the metal (porosity, microstructural isotropy). Keywords: time-temperature treatment, undercooled melt, non-metallic inclusions, purity, microstructural isotropy

Hydrated iron(III) oxides were obtained by discontinuous precipitation of an iron(II) sulfate solution with aqueous ammonium - saturated with carbon dioxide to different CO2/NH3 ratios. An additional thermal treatment of these oxides, under different conditions, provided genetic sequences of intermediates and their final products - catalysts on a Fe2O3/K2O basis, with different promoters. The catalysts were studied by means of the microstructural; analysis, thermogravimetry, DTA, IR spectroscopy and further tested by the dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene to styrene. It was observed that by changing the CO2/NH3 ratio in the precipitation of the initial solutions one can influence some of the properties, as well as, the morphology and thermal stability of the initial intermediates of the preparation of the catalysts. The above mentioned properties become practically unified with the increasing number of the heat treatment operations, with all the investigated catalysts - with the exception of the catalysts' behaviour during their reduction with hydrogen. The presence of iron oxides in various valency states and the different phase composition of the catalysts during their reduction affect the final activity and selectivity of the catalyst in the reaction under the study.

Abstract Background Maize is one of the important cereal food crops in the world. High temperature stress causes adverse influence on plant growth. When plants are exposed to high temperatures, they produce heat shock proteins (HSPs), which may impart a generalized role in tolerance to heat stress. Proteome analysis was performed in plant to assess the changes in protein types and their expression levels under abiotic stress. The purpose of the study is to explore which proteins are involved in the response of the maize plant to heat shock treatment. Results We investigated the responses of abundant proteins of maize leaves, in an Egyptian inbred line of maize “K1”, upon heat stress through two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) on samples of maize leaf proteome. 2-DE technique was used to recognize heat-responsive protein spots using Coomassie Brilliant Blue (CBB) and silver staining. In 2-D analysis of proteins from plants treated at 45 °C for 2 h, the results manifested 59 protein spots (4.3%) which were reproducibly detected as new spots where did not present in the control. In 2D for treated plants for 4 h, 104 protein spots (7.7%) were expressed only under heat stress. Quantification of spot intensities derived from heat treatment showed that twenty protein spots revealed clear differences between the control and the two heat treatments. Nine spots appeared with more intensity after heat treatments than the control, while four spots appeared only after heat treatments. Five spots were clearly induced after heat treatment either at 2 h or 4 h and were chosen for more analysis by LC-MSMS. They were identified as ATPase beta subunit, HSP26, HSP16.9, and unknown HSP/Chaperonin. Conclusion The results revealed that the expressive level of the four heat shock proteins that were detected in this study plays important roles to avoid heat stress in maize plants.

1. The aim of the present study was to determine whether oral ingestion of raw soya-bean flour, which contains trypsin inhibitors, alters the release of cholecystokinin (CCK) in man.2. Eleven healthy volunteers ate two mixed meals: one with raw soya-bean flour and the other with soya-bean flour that had been heat-treated. The two flours inhibited 34 and 3 mg trypsin/g flour respectively.3. CCK was measured in plasma using a bioassay based on the release of amylase (EC 3.2.1.1) from dispersed rat pancreatic acini.4. The peak CCK response was 168 (SE 8.1) pmol/l with raw soya-bean flour but 4.9 (SE 2.8) pmol/l with heat-treated flour (P < 0.05).5. We conclude that ingestion of raw soya-bean flour increases CCK release in man and that heat treatment which reduces the trypsin inhibitor content of the flour also diminishes its CCK-releasing effect.
