“…(3) reported that meal treated with Wesson oil at a rate of 80 pounds per ton of meal showed considerably greater carotene stability than meal treated at a rate of 16 pounds per ton. Van Atta et al (6) found a similar effect with coconut oil. They also reported seven vegetable oils having widely different iodine values did not differ in their effect on carotene stability when used for oiling alfalfa meal.…”

“…The findings by Mitchell and Silker (6), that the carotene of mixtures of alfalfa meal and soybean meal was more stable with expeller meal than with solvent-extracted meal, can be explained on the basis described above, since expeller meal retains more oil, which acts as a mutual solvent for the carotene and natural antioxidants present. carotene assays.…”

periments showed extensive destruction of methionine by these procedures, which might account for the inconclusive results obtained.The results obtained with the nitrogenous components, and those with the meat fractionation procedure, strongly suggest that the major odorforming reactions occurring during irradiation involve the water-soluble proteins in meat.The appearance of hydrogen sulfide in the irradiated dialyzate, E, is in agreement with the results obtained with irradiated glutathione solutions, because glutathione should appear in this fraction. However, another alternative must be considered-that this fraction is necessary in the water extract, A, in conjunction with other substances to produce the usual off-odor observed there. This would also be compatible with the previous suggestion ALFALFA CAROTENE that the off-odor results from a compound that breaks down on contact with the trapping reagents to give the products obtained.
