RESUMO

A direct cell size measurement technique and an image analysis based sizing method were developed. The former consisted of a manual size measurement of the two-dimensional cell images on a video screen, with automatic data recording. This method was chosen as the reference. The latter, a semiautomatic method took advantage of a commercial computer program designed for image processing and particle morphology analysis. It gave average and median size values which were compatible with the manual method. However, the performance of these time consuming methods is limited. Hence, the laser granulometry technique, intrinsically far more powerful while capable of analysing millions of sample objects in a short time delay, was applied. The comparison revealed that this method gives too low size values, particularly in disagreement with the known dimensions of the bacterial (Zymomonas mobilis) cells. A size correction method was developed to realign the granulometry results of Z mobilis cell samples with those of the direct manual measurement method.

RESUMO

Response surface methodology was used to investigate the effect of salt supplementation on the micellar composition of reconstituted skim milk subjected to acidification by CO2 pressure to pH 5.8, followed by depressurization under vacuum. Using a Doehlert design, calcium and phosphate were added to skim milk in the range of 0 to 25 mmol/kg and 0 to 16 mmol/kg of milk, respectively, and the pH was adjusted to 6.65 +/- 0.02. After carbonation, the milk sample was depressurized, and the pH returned to its initial value without modification of the ionic strength. Micellar composition was assessed by the concentration of micellar Ca, P, Mg, and protein, and the buffering properties of milk. The second order polynomial models satisfactorily predicted the effect of salt supplementation on the micellar composition (R2adj > 0.75). Added calcium was the most determinant factor, and favored the removal of Ca, P, Mg, and proteins from the soluble phase to the micellar phase when this addition was less than 17.5 mmol/kg of milk. Above this concentration, only the concentration of micellar Ca increased. The buffering response surface showed that the amount of micellar calcium phosphate increased to a maximum upon addition of 17.5 mmol of Ca/kg. By comparison with a control sample (supplemented but untreated skim milk), changes were essentially due to salt supplementation and not to the CO2 treatment. We suggest that Ca formed micellar calcium phosphate when added at a concentration less than 17.5 mmol/kg; whereas above this concentration, Ca bound directly to micellar proteins.
