  • Patent number: 12618813
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for detecting glycosidic bonds of plant polysaccharides. The method includes taking 100 ?L of NaOH-DMSO suspension (1 mg/mL) of plant polysaccharides containing 20 or more kinds of substances such as galactan, araban, polygalacturonic acid, rhamnogalacturonan-I, rhamnogalacturonan-II, xyluronic acid, arabogalacturonic acid I and arabogalacturonic acid II, shaking at room temperature for 30 minutes, adding 40 ?L of iodomethane and shaking for 1 hour. Such process is repeated three times to obtain methylated plant polysaccharides. The method further includes using an automatic detection equipment for methylation combined with PMP derivatization to analyze glycosidic bonds in polysaccharides. Not only the glycosidic bond information of neutral sugars can be analyzed in the subsequent LC-MS mass spectrometry analysis, but also the glycosidic bond information of acidic sugars can be resulted, and the analysis results are faster, more detailed and more reliable.

  • Patent number: 12458048
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for manufacturing a cooked grilling sausage. In the present disclosure, lean animal meat is subjected to a high-voltage pulsed electric field treatment to promote dissolution of salt-soluble proteins in the lean animal meat and to promote hydration of the salt-soluble proteins during curing. This process helps a resulting minced meat form a three-dimensional gel-like texture, thus making the cooked grilling sausage chewy, tender, and juicy. A raw material of the cooked grilling sausage includes lean animal meat, animal fat, sucrose, salt, Chinese liquor, complex phosphates, and crushed ice. By using the complex phosphates with a low viscosity instead of a plant-derived texture restructuring gum, a hydrophilic colloid stabilizer, and a water-retaining agent, a texture of the fresh lean animal meat can be transformed into a tender, elastic, and juicy texture of the cooked grilling sausage with a high water-holding capacity.
