Mayonnaise is an important base of dressing, dips, and sauce. It is widely used in sandwiches, salads, and burgers, especially in western countries. Mayonnaise is an oil-in-water semisolid emulsion prepared from vegetable oil(s), acidifying ingredients (such as vinegar, lemon juice or citric acid), and egg-yolk containing ingredients. According to FDA (2015), a mayonnaise should contain not less than 65% of vegetable oil by weight. Emulsion is a dispersion of two immiscible liquids. As an oil-in-water emulsion, an emulsifier is required to stabilize the emulsion to prevent separation of oil and water phase. It adsorbs at the interface between the liquids and reduces the surface tension of the liquid to enable them to spread over one another …show more content…
Egg yolk itself is an emulsion of fat stabilized by phospholipids in an aqueous solution. The functional part as an emulsifier in egg yolk is the phospholipid lecithin, which contains a polar end and a non-polar end to make it partially soluble in both oil and water. A large single egg yolk contains 275mg of cholesterol, which exceeds the recommendation of not more than 200mg/dL as stated by the National Institutes of Health (2001). There are limitations in using egg yolk due to its high cholesterol level, egg as an allergen, and vegetarian issue. Eggs are also associated with problems such as microbial contamination due to Salmonella, cost and quality of …show more content…
The research result of Amin et al. (2007) has proven that DSG solution is able to exhibit similar characteristics as other plant gums when subjected to different temperature and pH treatment. DSG has found to contain higher calcium, zinc, manganese content than guar and xanthan gum, and lower in lead and copper content. Besides, DSG as natural plant gum, is biodegradable natural gum, non-toxic, and non-carcinogenic, which in turns is more acceptable by consumers as compared to animal and microbial gums (Mirhosseini & Amid,
Question 17: What food safety practices at the egg-producing farms might help prevent or reduce the risk of salmonellosis from the consumption of eggs from these farms?
In The Eggs of the World, Toshio Mori writes about 3 men meeting, one rich, one a poor drunkard, and the narrator. The point of view Toshio Mori uses in this story is peripheral first person. This use of a somewhat uncommon way of writing and viewing a story gives a look at events that is objective while not being unfeeling. Peripheral first person gives balance between personal stake in the matter, but not so much as to lose objective view. This viewpoint also gives new looks on the characters surrounding the author, giving both personal opinion and removed observation. Lastly, peripheral 1st person gives a twist on which facts may or may not be included in a narrative. In The Eggs of the World the use of peripheral 1st person influences the characterization and either including or omitting specific facts while balancing between personal involvement and objective observation.
In the article, As toid by the egg by the author Susan Gaidos, the general subject matter/theme of the article is how reproduction occurs with an egg and a sperm to create new individuals. The main ideas which will be addressed in the article are how the egg and sperm reproduce, the challenges the sperm faces to get to the egg, how the egg and the sperm have evolved over time since originally the cells looked the same, proteins are involved in the reproduction, and a discussion on reproductive failure. In Biology class we are learning about protein synthesis and this article discusses protein that help with sperm and egg reproduction.
Background info: hypertonic solution was used in the lab, hypertonic is the liquid substance that is going out of the egg. When a red blood cell has more water than what's outside then the water will come out and will become smaller. Hypotonic is when the water on the outside of the cell has more water than the inside, the water will go in the inside to make it run smoothly. Isotonic is when the inside and outside of the cell is each, they will stay the same.

The best time to use this mask is in the evening because this way your skin gets about 12 hours to heal before it is exposed to the sun. Moreover, I don’t fancy the idea of walking around smelling like fruit yoghurt, so nighttime use works for me.
The article The Egg and the Sperm: How Science has constructed a Romance Based on Stereotypical Male-Female Roles by Emily Martin explains the social constructs of stereotypes and how they are central to our perception of the world around us. Culture is something that shapes how even biological scientists describe what they discover about the natural world. Furthermore, Martin takes a deeper look into the scientific accounts of reproductive technology.
If bacteria is not monitored at all, many different disease such as gingivitis and periodontitis can occur (2). The Lab Manual also stated that bacteria can enter through the oral cavity, get into the bloodstream, and can cause endocarditis in the heart tissue. Given all these possible horrible scenarios, every effort made towards lowering the amount of bacteria in our oral cavity has potential to save lives. Our research will consist of trying to answer an important question, “What substances could help prevent bacteria (pathogen) buildup in the oral cavity”. The first thinking that we had behind this came from those gum commercials you see on T.V. that say “kills bad breath and bacteria”. Well we were curious as to what chemical compound found inside gum has the capability to kill bacteria. It turns out that one of the key factors for the bacteria killing effect found in chewing gum, is known as Xylitol. Xylitol is a naturally occurring alcohol and is used as a “sugar free” substitute in many chewing gum brands
Normally, emulsified water is generally present in crude oil as a result of the mixing occurring during production operations and referred to as oil field emulsion. This emulsion can be encountered at numerous stages include during drilling, producing, transporting and processing of crude oil. However, the formation of emulsion creates problems in oil field industry. They might increase the cost of production and also transportation; accumulate in the refinery tank age, pipeline corrosion, equipment failure, plugged pipeline. For economic and operational reasons, it is necessary to remove water completely from the crude oil emulsion before refining and transporting those. In order to separate the water content of the produced crude oils, the emulsions have to be broken through demulsification process.
The experiment apparatus consisted of an extra-large egg, 1/10 spoon of salt, olive oil, water, a spoon, a small sized bowl, a Continental Electric egg beater, an 8” flat frying pan, a cooking stove, and a kitchen stopwatch.
Most have heard the classical paradox of the chicken and the egg. Which came first, the chicken or the egg? The same question can apply to the individual and society. Which comes first? To answer the question, a concept of the individual must be established and the origins of society must be explored. Only then can one compare and contrast their roles in relation to the other. Two revolutionary thinkers, Soren Kierkegaard and Bertolt Brecht, will give their arguments of opposition to try to determine whether the power between society and the individual is pulled in one particular direction than the other. In conclusion, an answer will be produced to the question: the chicken, society, or the egg, the individual? The concept of the individual is difficult to define in a way that is universally accepted, due to its historical and cultural variability. Th individual is a historical being in that he developes a personality as he grows and circulates within his or her family, peer group, neighborhood and eventually within the society as a whole. He developes in the process patterns of feeling, thinking, and habits. An individual is also a cultural being. Culture includes religion, philosophy, science, technology, art, education, politics, etc within a given society. The concept of the individual emerged, across western society at the end of the middle ages (1200-1400), with the rise and expansion of a new social class: the bourgeoise. During the historical emergence of a new social class, the bourgeoisie, co-developing was a new form of society. The feudal society, which had come to an end, saw the emergence of the hierarchy of social groups, making people dependent on others. On the shoulders of the common man grew an enormous parasit...
Egg Albumen Experiment The purpose of this investigation is to establish which is the lowest concentration of Copper (II) Sulphate solution that will denature a sample of egg albumen (egg white) at room temperature. The base of the reaction is the globular protein (albumen) being denatured by a heavy metal (Copper (II)), the copper (II) reacts with the NH3 group causing it to denature, this means the proteins' secondary and tertiary structures are being altered and refolding into different shapes, this resulting in a change from the substance being clear to turning opaque.[1] As the concentration of the denaturants increases more folding and changing of shape will occur and therefore more denaturing will occur and at a faster rate. From this I can predict that that lowest concentration of the solution is approximately at 0.03m solution.
When we chew gum, we are basically chewing rubber. Gum started out as latex sap from a tree (the sapodilla). The tree grew in Central America, and the sap we chewed was called chicle. Chicle has the same properties as rubber, because it doesn’t break down when we chew it. Later, after World War II, scientists found a way to create something called synthetic rubber. Synthetic rubber is still similar to chicle because it still doesn’t break down when you chew it, but it isn’t natural like chicle is. (How Stuff Works, 2000… April 1st)
In this experiment, lipids from ground nutmeg are extracted using a combination of solvents and identify the lipids through chromatography. The purpose of using solvent combinations is to elute the lipids based on their polarity to binding of the silica gel. The chromatography is performed on a silica gel plate and the use of iodine to visualize the lipids. By calculating the Rf values for each compound and comparing them to the known lipids, we are able to distinguish the lipids within the grounded nutmeg.
Perfect to make a healthy dressing for your salad, as you only need vinegar, oil and water (no mustard, sugar, salt...)
