Blanching is a heat treatment of fruits and vegetables that inactivates enzymes and microorganisms. It involves rapidly heating produce to a specified temperature for a short time period, then rapidly cooling it. This helps prevent quality degradation during further processing like freezing, canning, or drying by stopping enzymatic and microbial activity. Blanching also softens tissues, removes gases, and helps with peeling or packaging of produce. However, it can result in some nutrient and texture loss depending on the time-temperature combination used.

Deterioration factors of Fruits and Vegetables and their control
Enzymes in plant tissues can cause undesirable changes like browning or desirable changes like ripening. Enzyme activity is controlled by factors like temperature, pH, and chemicals. Chemical changes like lipid oxidation and non-enzymatic browning also lead to food deterioration. Proper harvesting, handling, storage, and packaging can help control deterioration factors and maintain quality. Quality is assessed through measurements of color, texture, soluble solids, acidity, and sugar to acid ratio.
Subjective evaluation of food.. sensory evaluationeishashahid1
This document discusses subjective evaluation of food, which involves assessing characteristics like color, taste, aroma, and texture using human senses. It defines subjective evaluation as a scientific discipline that measures and analyzes how foods are perceived through the senses of sight, smell, taste, touch, and hearing. Sensory evaluation is important for understanding how food looks, smells, feels and tastes to consumers. The document also describes objective evaluation using scientific instruments, and outlines various subjective and objective sensory tests including discrimination, rating, and ranking tests used to evaluate differences between food samples.
Controlled atmospheric and Modified atmospheric packaging using nitrogenDebomitra Dey
Modified atmospheric packaging (MAP) and controlled atmospheric packaging (CAP) extend the shelf life of foods by modifying the gas composition around foods. Nitrogen gas is commonly used in MAP and CAP as an inert filler to reduce oxygen levels and prevent oxidative reactions. For perishable foods, low oxygen levels achieved through nitrogen addition reduce the respiration rate and slow quality deterioration. Nitrogen is also used to displace air during packaging of dry foods like grains and cereals to create an environment lethal to insects and microbes.
This document discusses food microbiology. It explains that food contains microorganisms that can either cause deterioration through spoilage or interact beneficially. Microorganisms use foods as a nutrient source. They can spoil food through synthesis of new compounds or enzymatic breakdown. However, some microorganisms are used in food processing like fermentation or as probiotics. Factors like pH, moisture, nutrients, and temperature influence microbial growth in foods.
Chilling and freezing are methods of food preservation that use low temperatures to slow microbial growth and chemical reactions in foods. Chilling involves storage between 0-15°C to extend shelf life by retarding bacteria, enzymes, and chemical changes. Freezing at below 0°C stops nearly all microbial and chemical changes by freezing water in foods into ice crystals. Quick freezing produces smaller ice crystals and less damage than slow freezing. Both methods maintain quality attributes better than other preservation methods, though texture changes can occur. Low temperature preservation is effective for long-term storage and retains more nutrients and sensory properties compared to other techniques.
The document discusses the utilization of meat industry by-products and wastes. It defines meat and meat products, and by-products. It describes the common meat processing operations that generate by-products like trimmings, bones, blood, and skin.

Acidophilus milk contains Lactobacillus acidophilus for potential health benefits. Kefir uses "kefir grains" containing various bacteria and yeasts to ferment milk
Contamination and spoilage of eggs can occur through several means:
1. Eggs become contaminated after laying through contact with feces, cages, wash water, or improper handling.
2. As eggs age, their contents naturally change through loss of moisture and thinning of egg whites.
3. Microorganisms can cause spoilage if they contaminate the shell and penetrate into the egg, growing through the whites and potentially reaching the yolk.
4. Bacterial spoilage results in rots of different colors like green, colorless, or black rots caused by various Pseudomonas and Proteus species. Mold growth can also cause pinspot molding or fungal rotting.
This document discusses microbial spoilage of meat and poultry products. It explains that spoilage occurs when microbes break down food, creating acids and waste products that can make the food unpleasant or harmful. Meat is highly perishable due to its nutrients, pH, and moisture content. Contamination can occur during slaughter or processing and growth depends on temperature, oxygen availability, and other factors. Both aerobic and anaerobic bacteria can cause spoilage through off odors, discoloration, and gas production. Various pathogens are responsible for different types of spoilage in meats like ham, sausage, and canned products. Proper handling and preservation techniques can help delay this natural spoilage process.
This document discusses the composition and milling of pulses. It notes that pulses are a good source of protein and nutrients. In general, pulses contain 20-40% protein, carbohydrates such as starch, and small amounts of fat, minerals, and vitamins.

This document discusses the causes and processes of food spoilage. It identifies four main causes of food spoilage: physical, biological, biochemical, and chemical. Biological spoilage is caused by microorganisms like bacteria and fungi, as well as macroorganisms like insects and rodents. Enzymatic and non-enzymatic reactions can also lead to biochemical spoilage. The document then outlines several methods for controlling food spoilage, including freezing, thermal processing, irradiation, dehydration, and using natural or chemical preservatives.
This document discusses food spoilage, including definitions, types, causes, and examples of spoilage in different food categories like meat, dairy, fruits and vegetables. It defines food spoilage as any changes that make food unacceptable for consumption. Spoilage can be caused by physical injury, enzymatic degradation, or microbial activity. The main types are physical, chemical, and microbial spoilage. Microbial spoilage is the most common and is caused by the growth of microorganisms like bacteria, yeasts and molds. Specific examples of spoilage in foods like meat, milk, eggs and produce are provided.
This document discusses food spoilage, which is the process by which food deteriorates to the point of being inedible or having reduced quality of edibility. Spoilage is caused by microbial and biochemical activities and is influenced by intrinsic factors like pH and nutrients, and extrinsic factors like temperature and humidity. Different foods like fruits, vegetables, cereals, milk, meat, fish, eggs and canned foods are subject to spoilage by various microbes under different conditions. Food preservation methods aim to stop or slow spoilage by killing microbes or preventing their growth in order to maintain food safety and nutrition.
PSG is an immune complex-mediated disease caused by antibodies produced against streptococcal antigens like streptococcal pyrogenic exotoxin B and nephritis-associated streptococcal plasmin receptor. These antigens activate the complement cascade and induce antibody responses, causing inflammation of the glomeruli. High blood pressure can result from PSG due to decreased kidney function impairing sodium handling. The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and sympathetic nervous system activate to reduce renal blood flow and increase sodium absorption in response to the reduced kidney function and blood pressure changes caused by PSG.
Biotechnological techniques for solving industrial problems Zohaib HUSSAIN

Antibodies are produced in mammalian cells, avians and in many other animals. They are used to produce the majority of currently marketed recombinant biopharmaceuticals, many of which are antibodies. We take the example of insects to understand to this whole process. Insect cells have proven to be an excellent platform for the production of recombinant antibodies. The baculovirus insect cell system directs transient expression of recombinant antibodies in batch culture upon infection of insect cells with a recombinant baculovirus, while stably transformed insect cells allow constitutive or inducible production. It is simple way of producing considerable amounts of recombinant antibody molecules with biological activities. Therefore, insect cell expression systems would be highly valuable for high-throughput antibody production. In addition, the display of heterologous proteins, including antibody fragments, on the baculovirus surface might be a useful tool for the generation and production of monoclonal antibodies with high affinity and specificity (Yamaji, 2011).
Vitamins B1, B2, B3, and B5 are important cofactors for enzymes involved in cellular metabolism. Vitamin B1 or thiamine is a cofactor for enzymes in carbohydrate metabolism. Vitamin B2 or riboflavin is a precursor for FAD and FMN which are electron carriers in the electron transport chain and metabolic pathways like the citric acid cycle. Vitamin B3 or niacin is needed to make NAD+, which is used in glycolysis and the electron transport chain. Vitamin B5 or pantothenic acid is needed to make Coenzyme A, which is involved in acetyl group transfers in metabolic pathways.

Lipids are a diverse group of compounds that include fats, waxes, sterols and fat-soluble vitamins. They are insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. Food lipids are generally referred to as fats and oils, with fats being solid and oils being liquid due to their fatty acid composition. Lipids serve important structural and energy storage functions and are present in both plant and animal tissues. They undergo chemical changes during food processing and storage that can impact food quality and produce desirable or undesirable compounds.
Pharmacogenomics, Pharmacogenetics and Pharmacokinetics Zohaib HUSSAIN
Introduction
With the information available about human genome and human proteome, it is now well understood that there are a lot of variations between individuals. These minor variations account for many differences like adverse drug reactions, which are responsible for many hospitalizations and casualties. The observed variable effect of drug is due to difference in sensitivity as some people need higher dose and some need lower dose to get similar therapeutic effect, but in some people drug has no therapeutic effects and in some it shows strong adverse reactions.
Oxidative Rancidity in Fats and Oils, Causes and Prevention Sadanand Patel

Case Study On Type 2 diabetes and diabetes related complicationsZohaib HUSSAIN
Insulin resistance increases the risk of developing prediabetes and type 2 diabetes. Prediabetes occurs when blood glucose or A1C levels are higher than normal but not high enough to be diagnosed as diabetes, and it often develops in people with insulin resistance. Although insulin resistance alone does not cause type 2 diabetes, it can lead to the disease by overworking the insulin-producing beta cells. In prediabetes, the beta cells can no longer produce enough insulin to overcome insulin resistance, causing blood glucose levels to rise above the normal range. Once a person has prediabetes, the ongoing loss of beta cell function usually leads to type 2 diabetes.
This presentation summarizes the role of pretreatment processes in enhancing anaerobic digestion of municipal solid waste. Various pretreatment methods including mechanical, thermal, chemical and combinations are discussed.

These mycotoxins are heat stable and immunosuppressive, affecting young birds more than adults. Clinical signs include reduced growth and increased susceptibility to other diseases. Post mortem findings can include liver damage and hemorrhaging. Diagnosis involves identifying aflatoxins in feed. Prevention focuses on proper storage and removal of contaminated feed, while treatment requires replacing toxic feed and supplementing vitamins and minerals.
This document provides information about several gram-positive foodborne bacterial agents: Bacillus cereus, Clostridium botulinum, Clostridium perfringens, Listeria monocytogenes, and Staphylococcus aureus. For each organism, it discusses characteristics such as temperature and pH tolerances, toxins produced, and methods for isolation and inactivation. The document is presented as part of a course on food safety management, with the goal of educating students about important foodborne pathogens.
Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites of fungi in the plants before or after harvest, which are capable of producing acute or chronic toxic effects (e.g. carcinogenic, mutagenic, and teratogenic) on animals and probably on humans at the levels of exposure.
Several mycotoxins in agricultural products cause health hazards to people and animals and economical problem. Dangerous mycotoxins are naturally present in foods, feeds and our environment. They are pathologically classified as hepatotoxins, nephrotoxins, vomitoxin and neuromuscular toxin, some of which are potentially carcinogenic and mutagenic. Aflatoxin, for example, is the most potent hepatocarcinogen and mutagen among mycotoxins.
Modern mycotoxicology began with the discovery of Aflatoxin in the early 1960s as the chemical compound responsible for causing “Turkey X” disease. Over 100,000 turkeys died in the United Kingdom after ingesting feed containing contaminated peanut meal from Brazil. The disaster concerned also ducklings, calves, and pigs.
Toxic syndromes, resulting from the intake of Mycotoxins by man and animals, are known as mycotoxicosis. Although mycotoxicosis caused by mould Claviceps purpurea have been known for a very long time.

Some advantages are a high growth rate and ability to use waste materials, while disadvantages include potential for allergic reactions and high nucleic acid content leading to health issues. Applications include use as a protein supplement for humans and animals.
Chemical factors such as enzymatic activity, oxidation, and microbial growth can cause food spoilage by impacting texture, color, odor, and flavor. Key chemical spoilage processes discussed include rancidity, proteolysis, pectin hydrolysis, enzymatic browning, Maillard reaction, and putrefaction. Rancidity occurs when oils and fats oxidize, producing unpleasant smells. Proteolysis and pectin hydrolysis involve enzymatic breakdown of proteins and pectin that can change food textures and produce bitter compounds. Enzymatic browning and the Maillard reaction cause discoloration. Putrefaction is the anaerobic breakdown of proteins by microbes, releasing foul odors
Inborn errors of metabolism are rare genetic disorders where the body cannot properly break down food into energy due to defects in enzymes.

Role of serum and supplements in culture medium k.skailash saini
ROLE OF SERUM AND SUPPLEMENTS IN CULTURE MEDIA
Serum is a complex mix of albumins, growth factors and growth inhibitors.
Serum is one of the most important components of cell culture media and serves as a source for amino acids, proteins, vitamins (particularly fat-soluble vitamins such as A, D, E, and K), carbohydrates, lipids, hormones, growth factors, minerals, and trace elements.
Serum from fetal and calf bovine sources are commonly used to support the growth of cells in culture.
Fetal serum is a rich source of growth factors and is appropriate for cell cloning and for the growth of fastidious cells.
Calf serum is used in contact-inhibition studies because of its lower growth-promoting properties.
Normal growth media often contain 2-10% of serum.
Supplementation of media with serum serves the following functions :
Serum provides the basic nutrients (both in the solution as well as bound to the proteins) for cells.
Serum provides several growth factors and hormones involved in growth promotion and specialized cell function.
It provides several binding proteins like albumin, transferrin, which can carry other molecules into the cell. For example: albumin carries lipids, vitamins, hormones, etc. into cells.
It also supplies proteins, like fibronectin, which promote the attachment of cells to the substrate. It also provides spreading factors that help the cells to spread out before they begin to divide.
It provides protease inhibitors which protect cells from proteolysis.
It also provides minerals, like Na+, K+, Zn2+, Fe2+, etc.
It increases the viscosity of the medium and thus, protects cells from mechanical damages during agitation of suspension cultures.
It also acts a buffer.
Due to the presence of both growth factors and inhibitors, the role of serum in cell culture is very complex.
Unfortunately, in addition to serving various functions, the use of serum in tissue culture applications has several drawbacks .

1. Levels of gene regulation
The observation that differences in the RNA and protein content of different tissues are not paralleled by significant differences in their DNA content indicates that the process whereby DNA produces mRNA must be the level at which gene expression is regulated in eukaryotes. In bacteria this process involves only a single stage, that of transcription, in which RNA copy of the DNA is produced by the enzyme RNA polymerase. Even while this process is still occurring, ribosomes attach to the nascent RNA chain and begin to translate it into protein. Hence cases
of gene regulation in bacteria, such as the switching on of the synthesis of the enzyme β-galactosidase in response to the presence of lactose (its substrate), are mediated by increased transcription of the appropriate gene. Clearly, a similar regulation of gene transcription in different tissues, or in response to substances such as steroid hormones which induce the synthesis of new proteins, represents an attractive method of gene regulation in eukaryotes.
In contrast to the situation in bacteria, however, a number of stages intervene between the initial synthesis of the primary RNA transcript and the eventual production of mRNA (Fig. 1).
The initial transcript is modified at its 5′ end by the addition of a cap structure containing a modified guanosine residue and is subsequently cleaved near its 3′ end, followed by the addition of up to 200 adenosine residues in a process known as polyadenylation. Subsequently, intervening sequences or introns, which interrupt the protein-coding sequence in both the DNA and the primary transcript of many genes. Although this produces a functional mRNA, the spliced molecule must then be transported from the nucleus, where these processes occur, to the cytoplasm where it can be translated into protein.
Telomere, Functions & Role in Aging & CancerZohaib HUSSAIN
Telomeres cap the ends of chromosomes and protect them from degradation during cell division. As cells divide, telomeres shorten due to the inability of DNA replication enzymes to fully copy chromosome ends. This limits a cell to around 50-70 divisions before entering senescence. Cancer cells activate telomerase to maintain telomere length, allowing unlimited division. Telomeres play a key role in both aging and cancer - their shortening limits the lifespan of normal cells but cancer cells overcome this via telomerase to achieve immortality and uncontrolled growth. Measuring and targeting telomerase may provide new strategies for cancer detection and treatment.

Chromosomes are bundles of tightly coiled DNA located within the nucleus of almost every cell in our body. A chromosome is a DNA molecule with part or all of the genetic material (genome) of an organism. Chromosomes are normally visible under a light microscope only when the cell is undergoing the metaphase of cell division. Before this happens, every chromosome is copied once (S phase), and the copy is joined to the original by a centromere, resulting in an X-shaped structure. The original chromosome and the copy are now called sister chromatids. During metaphase, when a chromosome is in its most condensed state, the X-shape structure is called a metaphase chromosome.

Food Spoilage Due to enzymes

Presentation Number 1
COMSATS Institute of Information Technology Abbottabad
2. 2
What is microbial food spoilage?
• Microbial food spoilage occurs
as a consequence of either
microbial growth in a food
• Release of extracellular and
intracellular enzymes in the
food environment
Signs of spoilage
• In normal tissues, the rates of new
cell growth and old cell death are
kept in balance
– Changes in color
– Changes in odor
– Changes in texture e.g slime
formation
– Accumulation of gas or foam
– Accumulation of liquid
3. 3
Spoilage by microbial growth occurs
much faster than spoilage
by microbial extracellular
or intracellular enzymes in the absence
of viable microbial cells.

Lipases
•Lipase activity shown by psychotrophs isolated from milk
and milk products e.g Flavobacteria and Pseudomonas
species
•Microbial lipases are heat stable.
•Lipase activity in milk leads to the release of medium and
short-chain fatty acid from triglycerides. (Hydrolytic
rancidity)
•Hydrolysis of as little as 1-2 % triglycerides leading to
rancid off flavor.
•Milk naturally also contains high levels of indigenous lipase,
•It is likely that indigenous as well as microbial lipases are
important in development of lipolytic rancidity in milk.
6. • Milk is heated to destroy
milk lipases but not the
bacterial heat-stable
lipases.
• Assay methods depend
on the release of free
fatty acids due to
hydrolysis of milk fat
• ELISA is also used to
measure lipases of
Pseudomonas Spp. 6
7. Rancidity
• Microbial rancidity refers to a process in which
microorganisms, use their enzymes such as lipases to break
down fat.
• Rancidification or rancidity, causes a substance to become
rancid, that is, having a rank, unpleasant smell or taste.
• Consuming rancid food products is unlikely to cause
immediate illness or harm,
• Reduce the nutritional value of food, and some vitamins are
highly sensitive to degradation.
• Produce potentially toxic compounds associated with long-
term harmful health effects concerning advanced aging,
neurological disorders, heart disease, and cancer 7
8. Proteinases
• The major cause of bitterness in milk and milk products is
the formation of bitter peptides due to the action of
proteinases.
• Proteinase activity has been detected in Pseudomonas
Serratia and Bacillus species.
• Heat stability of proteinases from several bacterial species
was investigated by Griffiths et al. (1981).
• Strict quality control is therefore critical in UHT milk
products to ensure that heat-stable proteinases do not cause
bitter off flavors.
• The most investigated source of bitter peptides is the casein.

9. • Even when present as low as
1ng/ml in raw milk can
reduce the acceptance quality
of milk during normal
storage.
• So it is very important to use
a sensitive assay to predict
the shelf life of dairy
products.
• Laboratory tests for these
proteinases include: ELISA,
Flurescamine assay
9
10. Casein
• Casein phosphoproteins (αS1, αS2, β, κ).
• These proteins are commonly found in mammalian milk
making up 80% of the proteins in cow milk
• Casein major component of cheese
• Use as a food additive, to a binder for safety matches
• As a food source
• Casein supplies amino acids, carbohydrates
• And the two inorganic elements calcium and phosphorus
10
11. Potential Health Risks
• Populations with greater than 10% of the protein in their diet
from casein
• We were at risk of cancer due to casein acting as a cancer
promoter.
• A Casein allergy, when your body's immune system
mistakenly thinks the protein is harmful and produces allergic
(IgE) antibodies for protection.
• The interaction triggers the release of body chemicals
• Such as histamine that cause symptoms
• Swelling of the lips, mouth, tongue, face, or throat
• Skin reactions such as hives, a rash, or red, itchy skin
sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, coughing,etc 11

13. Enzymatic Browning
• Fruits and vegetables turning brown when damaged/cut is
exposed to air (enzyme-involved oxidation)
• Enzyme involved is polyphenol oxidase (PPO).
• PPO converts polyphenol, which is naturally present in all
kinds of fruits and vegetables, into a brown pigment called
melanin.
• PPO is naturally separated from polyphenol in the intact
cells.
• Damage or cut destroys cell structure and mix the PPO and
polyphenol together.
• PPO converts polyphenol into melanin pigment. Therefore
brown surfaces are formed. 13
14. • Arctic Apples apples that contain a nonbrowning trait
introduced through biotechnology.
• They were developed through a process of genetic
engineering and precision breeding by Okanagan Specialty
Fruits
• Specifically, gene silencing reduces the expression
of polyphenol oxidase (PPO), thus preventing the fruit
from browning. First of its type.
14
15. Proteolytic Enzymes
• Proteolysis Cells contain
proteolytic enzymes which
hydrolyse proteins into amino
acids, which is responsible for
the ageing and spoilage of
foods.
• Suitable action of proteolytic
enzymes on meat produces
tendering effect, which
improve meat quality.
• However undesirable action of
this enzyme causes spoilage of
meat. 15
Cancer arises from a loss of normal growth control.
In normal tissues, the rates of new cell growth and old cell death are kept in balance. In cancer, this balance is disrupted.
This disruption can result from uncontrolled cell growth or loss of a cell's ability to undergo "apoptosis."
Apoptosis, or programmed cell death, is the mechanism by which old or damaged cells normally self-destruct.
