...Lactose intolerance Things you need to know Have you ever noticed feeling gassy, bloated or even experienced loose stools after drinking milk or when eating your breakfast cereal with milk? If you have these symptoms this may show you have lactose intolerant. What is lactose intolerance? Lactose is a type of sugar present in milk and other dairy products. In order to digests lactose body need the enzyme called lactase to break down it.1,2 In people with lactose intolerance, their body is lack of this enzyme and caused the body is not able to digest lactose in stomach. The undigested lactose is fermented in the large bowel and gas by-products make people feel bloating.1,2 How common is lactose intolerance?3 There are around 75% of...

...1) Lactose intolerance is a lack of enzyme lactase, leading to some distressing symptoms after eating or drinking foods containing lactose. If I consume dairy containing lactose when I have lactose intolerance, I will have diarrhea first. Because of the lack of enzyme lactase, the undigested lactose draws water into the digestive tract, resulting in diarrhea. In the large intestine, the bacteria can ferment the lactose and creat gases, causing bloating, flatulence and cramps. Someone who has mild lactose intolerance should gradually put some lactose-containing foods to his diet, if he still wants to enjoy the dairy. He should eat small amounts of lactose-containing foods throughout the day, instead of consuming a large amount at one time. He should eat lactose-containing foods with a meal or snack, rather than by themselves. He should try reduced-lactose dairy products, such as whole milk, cottage cheese and yogurts. For people who have severe lactose intolerance, they should take lactase pills before meals containing lactose....

This paper will discuss lactose intolerance form a molecular level to the evolutionary level. Also, this paper will outline an experiment designed to show the various levels of lactose and glucose in various samples of milk. First we must understand, what is lactose intolerance? To do that we must first understand what happens in the human body that defines lactose intolerance. The first step is learning what takes place in order to have a chemical reaction. Then, what happens during that reaction to make someone lactose intolerant or non lactose intolerant. Finally, what happened during evolution that makes some people lactose intolerant and some not. Enzymes are proteins that make reactions happen faster. (National Enzyme Company 2015). Enzymes regulate chemical reactions. They do this by binding to molecules called substrates. Enzyme activators are molecules that start or speed up an enzyme’s activity. (National Enzyme Company 2015). Like a baker getting an electric mixer instead of mixing by hand...

...CRITIQUE PAPER IN ChE 426N The research paper is entitled “Electricity generation from synthetic substrates and cheese whey using a two chamber microbial fuel cell”. The authors are Georgia Antonopoulou, Katerina Stamatelatou, Symeon Bebelis, and Gerasimos Lyberatos from the Department of Chemical Engineering in the University of Patras in Greece. The research paper is taken from pages 10 to 15 of the Biochemical Engineering Journal, Volume 50. In this study, the possibility of electricity generation from diluted cheese whey in a two-chamber mediator-less microbial fuel cell (MFC) was investigated. The research aims to generate electricity using glucose, lactose, and cheese whey wastewater as substrates. It also aims to compare the performance of a MFC using synthetic sugars, such as glucose and lactose, to that of the same MFC when using raw wastewater, such as cheese whey, as substrate. The title of the article is appropriate and clear in such a way that readers can grasp an idea of the research by just reading it. The abstract is specific and is a representative of the article, although it takes a second look to realize that the research would involve electricity generation from synthetic substrates such as glucose and fructose, and from cheese whey. The research problem is attention-grabbing and timely since there is recently an emerging interest focused on the energy recovery from wastes. Microbial fuel cell (MFC) is gaining promising interest in the research fraternity...

The advent of camel milk can already be seen in various countries. The European Union has allowed the import of camel milk and in various countries in the Middle East; it is already a booming trade. Along with the benefits, there is a dire need for introducing camel milk to the masses as the camel population in India is dwindling in the recent years. (Leiby, Langevine, 2013) Benefits of camel milk: The benefits of camel milk include overcoming various mental health conditions such as diabetes mellitus, cancer, food allergy, autism, viral hepatitis and a host of other viral, bacterial and parasitic infections. (Gader,Galil, 2015) The awareness of these medicinal properties have been tested in our study and have been used to determine the effect of knowledge of these benefits in willingness to purchase camel milk and pay higher prices for it as compared to individuals unaware of the benefits. Reason behind high pricing of camel milk: Camel milk, though a new concept in India, was consumed in the Middle East over thousands of years (Gidson, 2015). The paper states the reason for the high pricing of camel milk – high input and production costs. It is also owing...

...classified by inoculating the organisms onto nutrient agar and incubating them at 30° and 37° C for 48 hours, and observing their behaviors, as well as using Mannitol and phenol red media for fermentation and acid production. Optimal growth temperatures were determined by incubating nutrient agar plates of the organisms at 30° C and 37° C. The metabolic profile was created by inoculating the bacterium into broths containing lactose, mannitol, and citrate and incubating the tubes at 30° and 37° C for 48 hours, then observing them for color change. The stains revealed that the bacteria were both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacilli. Organism “A” was shown to not grow on MacConkey agar and to have limited growth on EMB agar. It was also a non-lactose, non mannitol fermenting and grew best at a temperature of 30° C, making it a mesophilic non-coliform. The oxidation and fermentation tests showed that the organism is a facultative aerobe that does not ferment sugars, produces acid below a pH of 4.4 and is able to metabolize citrate. Organism “B” was shown to be a lactose fermenter that...

...Research paper. NUTRITION FOR THE ELDERLY: Nutrition is the intake of food, considered in relation to the body’s dietary needs. Good nutrition is essential for survival, physical growth, performance, health and well-being across the entire life-span. A good nutrition adequate well balanced diet combined with regular physical activity is a cornerstone of good health. While poor nutrition can lead to reduced immunity, increased susceptibility to disease, impaired physical and mental development, and reduced productivity. Many elderly people have unique barriers that prevent them from eating a healthy diet and engaging in regular physical activity. Difficulty chewing, a sensitive stomach, reduced appetite, and dietary restrictions are just a few of the barriers to healthy eating that the elderly experience. It is important to encourage the older adults to eat healthfully. NUTRITIONAL NEED FOR OLDER PERSON: Older persons are particularly vulnerable to malnutrition. Moreover, attempts to provide them with adequate nutrition encounter many practical problems. First, their nutritional requirements are not well defined. Since both lean body mass and basal metabolic rate decline with age, an older person’s energy requirement per kilogram of body weight is also reduced. FOODS THAT ARE GOOD FOR THE ELDERLY: when choosing food for the elderly, it is important...

...colony morphology, optimal conditions and metabolic properties. A Gram stain using crystal violet, iodine, and safranin and a simple stain using methylene blue characterized the organism’s cell wall. Cultural behavior was classified by inoculating the organism onto nutrient agar and incubating it at 37° C for 48 hours, and observing its behavior, as well as using SIM medium to test for motility. Optimal growth temperature was determined by incubating nutrient broths of the organism at 25° C and 37° C, and optimal pH was tested by inoculating broths with pHs of 3, 7, and 10. Fluid thioglycollate medium determined the organism’s oxygen requirements. The metabolic profile was created by inoculating the bacterium into broths containing glucose, lactose, mannitol, and citrate and incubating the tubes at 25° C for 48 hours, then observing it for color change. Oxidative metabolic tests for oxidase and catalase were also performed using an oxidative reagent and hydrogen peroxide, respectively. The Enterotube II System was used to further classify its metabolic profile. The stains revealed that the bacterium was a Gram-negative bacillus. The organism was shown to be non-motile and grows best at a pH of 10 and a temperature of 25° C, making it an alkaliphilic mesophile. The oxidation and fermentation tests showed that the organism is an oxidase-positive, catalase-positive aerobe that does not ferment sugars or metabolize citrate. The Enterotube II test results showed that the bacterium is not...
