To isomerizate of lycopene by ultra high pressure (UHP) method, based on single factor experiments, orthogonal test was used to optimum the isomerization conditions. UHP pressure, UHP holding time, temperature were as factors and ratio of cis-lycopene in total lycopene was as index. The results were as follows: 50°C, UHP pressure 500MPa and holding time 7min. The ratio of cis-lycopene in total lycopene was 45.1%. So UHP combine heating has a isomerization effect on lycopene.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of ultra high pressure (UHP) on the adductor muscles of bay scallops ( Aequipecten irradians) pertaining to certain physicochemical characteristics and microstructure. UHP treatment was applied at 200MPa and 400MPa, each application with one pulse and a holding time of 10min, or 2 pulses and a holding time of 5min per pulse, in a continuous or oscillation mode. Determination of textural parameters and L*, a* and b* colour parameters were carried out and compared with untreated scallops. Microstructure was observed using a scanning electronic microscopy (SEM) technique and, for microbial analyses, a total plate count was performed. SEM showed that UHP treatments induced a size reduction of the honeycomb structure of myofibres, giving a more compact appearance to the structure. Colour and compressibility enhanced by pressure treatment, however loss of hardness was observed. UHP treatments also reduced the initial load in total plate count of microorganisms to 10cfu/g. UHP is a competitive technology in food processing and ready for use on this high-priced seafood product.

Ultra-high pressure extraction technique was used to extract polysaccharides from Dendrobium candidum. Extraction pressure, pressure holding time and liquid-solid ratio were found to have a significant influence on the polysaccharides extraction and were optimized by the response surface method (RSM). The obtained optimum conditions were: extraction pressure 445.28MPa, pressure holding time 6.7 minutes and liquid-solid ratio 237.91ml/g. The maximum polysaccharide yield could reach 596.75mg/g under these conditions. The ultra-high pressure extraction process was a suitable method for its higher yield and shorter extraction time compared to the water-heating extraction.

AbstractThe classical concept of collisional orogens suggests that mountain belts form as a crustal wedge between the downgoing and overriding plates. However, this orogenic style is not compatible with the presence of (ultra-)high pressure crustal and mantle rocks far from the plate interface in the Bohemian Massif of Central Europe. Here we use a comparison between geological observations and thermo-mechanical numerical models to explain their formation. We suggest that continental crust was first deeply subducted, then flowed laterally underneath the lithosphere and eventually rose in the form of large partially molten trans-lithospheric diapirs. We further show that trans-lithospheric diapirism produces a specific rock association of (ultra-)high pressure crustal and mantle rocks and ultra-potassic magmas that alternates with the less metamorphosed rocks of the upper plate. Similar rock associations have been described in other convergent zones, both modern and ancient. We speculate that trans-lithospheric diapirism could be a common process.
