The corn gluten was hydrolyzed by Alcalase enzyme (a bacterial protease produced by a selected strain of Bacillus licheniformis) that was chosen among five commercial enzymes examined. The optimum process conditions for hydrolysis and solubilization were obtained as 30 g L–1 substrate mass concentration‚ 2.5 mL L–1 enzyme concentration‚ 55 °C and pH 8. Under

Measles: is an infection of the respiratory system caused by a virus‚ Symptoms: include fever‚ cough‚ runny nose‚ red eyes and a rash. Measles: is spread through respiration‚ the contact with any infected person in any way‚ including sex‚ saliva‚ or mucus‚ can cause infection making it highly contagious. It lasts from two to four days prior‚ until two to five days following the onset of the rash. Signs: and symptoms of measles include four-day fevers and the three Cs — cough‚ coryza (head cold)
