    Notes: X-ray diffraction, CP/MAS C-13 NMR, DSC, FTIR and fluorescence microscopy have been used to study the structure, compatibility, and morphology of films made from starch, poly(ethylene-co-acrylic acid) (EAA), and polyethylene (PE) before and after exposure to a mixture of highly amylolytic bacteria. The components of starch, amylose and amylopectin, interact with EAA via the formation of V-type inclusion complexes and hydrogen bonds. PE appears to be immiscible with the starch-EAA complex, with each forming sheetlike domains. The amylopectin in the films is susceptible to digestion by the bacterial consortium while the crystalline EAA-amylose complex is resistant. Digestion begins at the film surface and then proceeds inwards with sheetlike areas of starch removed. The good compatibility between starch and EAA as well as migration of EAA to the film surface explains the resistance of such films to digestion by conventional amylases.

    Notes: Polyurethane foams containing equal amounts of commercial unmodified cornstarch and a polyisocyanate-terminated polyether exhibit properties suitable for horticultural applications. The use of cornstarch in the foam formulation increased the volume by one-fourth as compared to the foam without cornstarch. This volume increase represents an economic advantage of 20% savings based on material cost. When cornstarch or corn flour is added to the foam formulation, the foams are more resistant to compressive force. Upon wetting and draining, the foams prepared with no auxiliary blowing agent and containing corn products exhibit higher volumes than do the unfilled foams. Radish seeds planted inside 25 mm cubes of foams began to sprout after 1 day. Early developmental growth for the plants was similar in the control and cornstarch-filled foams. Spectroscopic analyses of the starch-containing foams revealed that 60-70% of the cornstarch was metabolized within 4-5 weeks by a microbial consortium. Control polyurethane foams were not affected by the microorganisms tested. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.This article is a U.S. Government work and, as such, is in the public domain in the United States of America.

    Notes: The structural characterization of model complexes of amylose (AM) and amylopectin (AP) with poly(ethylene-co-acrylic acid) (EAA) was undertaken in order to better understand the interactions that occur between the polysaccharides and EAA in starch-EAA-polyethylene films. X-ray diffraction and CP/MAS 13C-NMR studies showed that precipitates from solution mixtures of AM and EAA form crystalline, helical V -type inclusion complexes. The proportion of AM forming the V -type complex in the EAA/AM blends, estimated from shifts in the C1 resonance of AM, increased with increasing EAA/AM ratio, reaching a value of about 80% at EAA/AM = 0.5 (w/w). Similar measurements for EAA/AP complexes showed 〈 10% V structure. Approximately 80% of the AM and 4% of the AP in these blends was resistant to amylase digestion, in good agreement with their V -structure contents as determined above. Resonances at 184 and 181 ppm were observed for the carboxyl carbon of EAA in the EAA/AM and EAA/AP complexes. The resonance at 181 ppm, which was not observed in pure EAA, probably reflects greater shielding of the carboxyl inside the polysaccharide helix as well as changes in hydrogen bonding. The intensity of this peak was 2-3 times larger for the EAA/AM than for the EAA/AP complexes. FTIR experiments suggest that most (〉 50%) of the EAA carboxyl groups were hydrogen bonded to polysaccharide hydroxyl groups in both AM and AP complexes when EAA/polysaccharide 〈 1.

    Notes: Rheological properties and swelling were examined in a series of concentrations of particles of crosslinked polyacrylate gels in water or salt solutions. The modulus during steady shear Gs = 2τ2/P11-P22 was determined from shear stress τ and primary normal force difference P11-P22 in a cone-and-plate rheometer. Gs was nearly constant with shear rate for the gel particles in the closely packed condition. The dynamic storage modulus G′ determined by ecentric rotating disc rheometry increased with increasing frequency for all concentrations. The apparent equilibrium shear modulus Ge determined by stress relaxation agreed closely at all concentrations and ionic strengths with the corresponding values of Gs, and hence Gs is considered a good estimate of equilibrium shear modulus for this gel material.

    Notes: Bioluminescence has emerged in the last decade as a major tool for the study of bacterial adaptation and survival. In addition to the advantages of sensitivity and the real-time, non-invasive nature of this reporter, the imaging potntial of using low-light and photon-counting video cameras has been particularly influential in establishing its ascendancy over more traditional reporter systems. This review provides a reflection of personal activity in this field through applications in Food Microbiology and collaboration with colleagues both in the UK and beyond.

    Notes: The progress of macrolide chemistry and biochemistry over the past several years has indeed been remarkable. This review attempts to cover the important contributions which have been made in the fields of structural and synthetic chemistry as well as in the biosynthesis and mode of antimicrobial activity of the “polyoxo” macrolide antibiotics. Emphasis has been placed on the recent synthetic achievements in this field.
