The invention discloses a preparation method for meat flavor based on man-machine analysis, and the title for the invention is GC-O-MS assisted preparation method for strengthened thermal response savory flavoring. The method is characterized in that: a GC-O-MS device is used to determine the substance that is detected simultaneously in retention index, mass spectrum and organoleptic evaluation, which enables subjectivity and fuzziness of conventional organoleptic evaluation to be avoided; the GC-O-MS device can rapidly screen flavor activity compounds in a simulated foodstuff and determine the importance of the flavor activity compounds in the flavor of the foodstuff as a whole and can accurately identify and provide guidance to the variety and content of critical compounds capable of restoring meat flavor, and compounds with a flavor activity value more than 1 is prepared into strengthening essential oil; the essential oil mixed with a thermal response meat flavor base. In the method, the strengthening essential oil derives from food, the thermal response meat flavor base is generally recognized as safe, and the strengthened thermal response meat flavoring prepared in the invention is more mellow and natural than a pure blended meat flavor essence.

Gels are formed based on generally recognized as safe (GRAS) low molecular weight amphiphilic molecules in a self-assembly process with limited or no heating. A selective range of ratios between an organic solvent and water, or an aqueous solution, in the medium, allows for the GRAS low molecular weight amphiphiles to form a homogeneous self-supporting gel encapsulating agents to be delivered under very mild conditions. Proteins including enzymes, antibodies, and serum albumin are loaded in the self-assembled gels to provide sustained and/or responsive delivery. The encapsulated proteins retain at least 70%, 80%, or 90% of their activity over days in various storage conditions.

The Federal EPA has consistently limited the use of known toxicants (insecticides) to preclude their admixture into paints and coatings by contractors or homeowners for the purpose of repelling or killing insects on the dried or cured coating. The current invention is a method to repel, rather than kill, insects, arachnids, and other arthropods, utilizing materials taken from the EPA's GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) List, obviating onerous Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) regulations and greatly extending the useful life of the insect-repellant materials by binding them into the dried film solids—greatly slowing their evaporation and degradation and creating a timed release of insect repellant material. Furthermore, the current invention utilizes the insect repellant nature of these materials to repel insects from the surrounding area during coating application, thereby eliminating the need for applying insect repellants, such as DEET, to the skin.

A protein (xylanase) has been identified that produces a strong immune response in pigs when added to a vaccine. The protein is added to vaccines at a particular concentration. The protein is delivered to the animal as part of the vaccine and elicits an immune reaction (antibodies are generated by the animal against the compliance marker protein). The antibodies are then detected in sera samples by a diagnostic test, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). In the ELISA compliance marker assay, the marker protein (antigen) in coated onto polystyrene plates and is used to detect antibodies against the marker in sera samples. This combination of marker protein added to vaccines and the ELISA to detect antibodies raised against the marker protein can be used to determine whether a particular animal(s) has been vaccinated. The selected protein is commercially-available, identified as Generally Recognized as Safe by the FDA, and does not cause adverse reactions in animals.
