The role of stored fish in England 900-1750AD; the evidence from historical and archaeological data
No full textThis thesis examines the historical and archaeological data for the consumption of herring and the gadid fishes (primarily cod, haddock, whiting, ling and hake) as stored fish cured by salting, drying and smoking. The thesis is divided into three parts, in the first part the historical evidence for developing fisheries, storage methods, marketing and consumption is discussed with an evaluation of the nutritional changes to the fish as a result of storage. In part two factors affecting fish bone preservation and recovery are presented and the authors own recording criteria. A new methodology is introduced using the documented data for portions and rations from monasteries and the forces, showing herring and the gadids by volume of fish eaten compared with the number of bones counted. Distribution of body parts as evidence for stored and fresh fish in the large gadids, hitherto only used to show processing is adapted for application to the data sample which largely represents consumption. In part three the 20 sites comprising the data sample are described. Portion and body part methods are applied to the herring and gadid bones from these assemblages. In the majority of sites herring predominate by number of bones, by portion cod becomes the primary fish in many cases. Evidence for stored codling and hake were found by body part distribution in many assemblages. The results of this study have shown that the archaeological data when expressed as a volume of fish supports the historical evidence for cod as the prime fish among these species, both as fresh and stored. Fish assemblages transcribed into portion from bone numbers present fish as a volume of food and often relegate herring, excessively favoured by bone numbers, into a subsidiary position
Frozen Food Locker Plants
No full textExcerpts from the report: Growth of the frozen food locker industry in the past 2 decades is one of the more significant developments in the improvement of perishable food preservation in rural areas and better eating for rural people. Also, locker plants are valuable in processing, storing and merchandising local food. An estimated one out of every eight families in the United States gets part of its basic food needs through frozen food locker plants. The 10,553 frozen food locker plants operating in early 1955 were serving an estimated 5 million families and processed, in 1954, about 1.6 billion pounds of food. The information on which this report is based was assembled from locker operators in January 1955. The report shows the number and types of plants and patrons, number of lockers, and rates charged on January 1, 1955, while business volume figures for the plants cover the year 1954. The survey was the eighth in a series of surveys of this industry made by the United States Department of Agriculture since 1940. Mail questionnaires were sent to all frozen food locker plants and usable replies received from 6,390 or 61 percent of the operators of these locker plants

Domain-domain interactions in high mobility group 1 protein (HMG1)
No full textThe high mobility group protein HMG1 is a conserved chromosomal protein with two homologous DNA-binding domains, A and B, and an acidic carboxy-terminal tail, C. The structure of isolated domains A and B has been previously determined by NMR, but the interactions of the different domains within the complete protein were unknown. By means of differential scanning calorimetry and circular dichroism we have investigated the thermal stability of HMG1, of the truncated protein A-B (HMG1 without the acidic tail C) and of the isolated domains A and B. In 3 mM sodium acetate buffer, pH 5, the thermal melting of domains A and B are identical (transition temperature t(m) = 43 degrees C and 41 degrees C, denaturation enthalpies Delta H = 46 kcal.mol(-1)). The thermal melting of protein A-B presents two nearly identical transitions (t(m) = 40 degrees C and 41 degrees C, Delta H = 44 kcal mol(-1) and 46 kcal.mol(-1), respectively). We conclude that the two domains A and B within protein A-B behave as independent domains. The thermal melting of HMG1 is biphasic. The two transitions have a different value of t(m) (38 degrees C and 55 degrees C) and corresponding values of Delta H around 40 kcal.mol(-1). We conclude that within HMG1, the acidic tail C is interacting with one of the two domains A and B, however, the two domains A and B do not interact with each other. At 37 degrees C, one of the two domains A and B, within HMG1, is partly unfolded, whereas the other which interacts with the acidic tail C, is fully native. The interaction free energy of the acidic tail C is estimated to be in the range of 2.5 kcal.mol(-1) based on simulations of the thermograms of HMG1 as a function of the interaction free energy
An Appraisal of Frozen Food Locker Cooperatives
No full textOver the years the frozen food locker industry has been continually changing in composition and scope of operations. Not all plants in the industry, however, have changed at the same rate. This study was made to determine the operating characteristics of the average frozen food locker cooperative and compare it with the average frozen food locker plant. It was hoped that this comparison would silhouette the state of progress of locker cooperatives and serve as a basis for indicating opportunities for improvement in operations
An Appraisal of Frozen Food Locker Cooperatives
No full textExcerpts from the report: Frozen food locker and freezer provisioning cooperatives are continuing to change the scope of their operations. The changes are pointed out in this report which is a follow-up to an industry-wide study of frozen food locker and freezer provisioners Farmer Cooperative Service published in 1962. This report contains information on development, patronage, sales, processing, merchandising, employment, size, rates, and problems and opportunities of frozen food locker cooperatives. It should be helpful to managers and directors of these organizations in improving operations and in serving member-patrons better
