The contaminated products originated with three batches of whey protein concentrate weighing 38 metric tons (42 tons) produced in May 2012. [4] A problem was first noticed by Fonterra in March 2013 when testing suggested the possible presence of Clostridium , a sometimes-dangerous class of bacteria which is often harmless. [ 3 ]
Protein removal: The protein gel is removed through mass transfer, while the cleaning agent continues to diffuse through the soil, increasing gel formation. Decay stage: The protein gel has been eroded to the point where it is a thin deposit. Removal at this stage is governed by shear stress forces and mass transfer of the gel.
In biochemistry, denaturation is a process in which proteins or nucleic acids lose folded structure present in their native state due to various factors, including application of some external stress or compound, such as a strong acid or base, a concentrated inorganic salt, an organic solvent (e.g., alcohol or chloroform), agitation and radiation, or heat.

Heat shock proteins induced by the HSR can help prevent protein aggregation that is associated with common neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's, Huntington's, or Parkinson's disease. [8] The diagram depicts actions taken when a stress is introduced to the cell. Stress will induce HSF-1 and cause proteins to misfold.
At high temperatures, these interactions cannot form, and a functional protein is denatured. [25] However, it relies on two factors; the type of protein used and the amount of heat applied. The amount of heat applied determines whether this change in protein is permanent or if it can be transformed back to its original form. [26]
The nitrogen content in urine is proportional to the total food protein in the person's diet, and the phosphorus content is proportional to the sum of total food protein and vegetal food protein. [ 17 ] : 5 Urine's eight main ionic species (> 0.1 meq L−1) are cations Na , K , NH 4 , Ca , and the anions , Cl , SO 4 , PO 4 , and HCO 3 . [ 18 ]
Thermal treatment is any waste treatment technology that involves high temperatures in the processing of the waste feedstock. Commonly this involves the combustion of waste materials. [1] Systems that are generally considered to be thermal treatment include: Cement kiln; Gasification; Incineration; Mechanical heat treatment; Pyrolysis; Thermal ...
As suggested by the food waste hierarchy, prevention and reuse pathways for human consumption have the highest priority levels for food waste treatment. The general approach to food waste reduction comprise two main pathways: prevention and valorisation. [145] Prevention of food waste infers all actions that reduce food production and ...
