If only a small sample of semolina were available for testing, the test that would give maximum information about the quality of that sample should be wet gluten content. To an experienced technologist, the amount indicates approximate protein content; handling properties and appearance indicate other features. The flow property, whether very extensible and soft, or tough and elastic, indicates the type of wheat. Colour, whether bright yellow, pale, dull or grayish, indicates pigment content. The ability to form a membrane and cohesiveness give an indication of any gluten damage. 1, record 2, English, - wet%20gluten%20content

Quand on ne dispose que d'un échantillon de semoule peu important, le test qui donnera le maximum d'information sur la qualité de cet échantillon sera celui de la teneur en gluten humide. Pour un technicien expérimenté, cette quantité révèle la teneur approximative en protéines; les propriétés de manipulation et l'aspect révèlent d'autres caractéristiques. Les propriétés rhéologiques (pâtes extensibles et molles ou encore résistantes et élastiques) sont révélatrices du type de blé. La couleur, soit jaune brillant, pâle, terne ou grisâtre, indique la quantité de pigments. L'aptitude à former une membrane et la cohésion donne un indication des dommages qu'auraient pu subir le gluten. 1, record 2, French, - teneur%20en%20gluten%20humide

A las harinas que contienen menos proteína – gluten se las llama pobres en gluten, en cambio, ricas en gluten son aquellas cuyo contenido de gluten húmedo es superior al 30 %. Harinas ricas en gluten se prefieren para masas de levadura, especialmente las utilizadas en la elaboración de masas para hojaldre. 1, record 2, Spanish, - contenido%20de%20gluten%20h%C3%BAmedo

Scrapie, the prototype of a group of diseases which have the unique property of being both hereditary and infectious, is also exceptional in that it fails to evoke an immune response. Purification of crude scrapie preparations showed a strong association of infectivity with a membrane protein(’PrPSC') ;but a protein with the same amino acid sequence(’PrPC') was subsequently also found in normal mammalian nervous tissue. It is postulated by some investigators that ’PrPSC' is itself the infectious agent, or the most important part thereof, but in papers making that proposal immunological aspects have not been addressed. Experimental evidence supporting the hypothesis of a membrane fragment as agent has likewise lately not been taken into account. A modified form of the membrane hypothesis could account for immunological as well as genetic aspects of these diseases. 1, record 4, English, - PrPSC

Rappelons brièvement les connaissances acquises sur ces deux isoformes de la PrP (protéine du prion). On l'a vu, la protéine normale présente chez l'individu sain est facilement dégradée par les protéases. Elle a été appelée PrPc (pour cellaire) ou PrPsen (pour sensible aux protéases), afin de distinguer la forme anormale appelée PrPsc dans le cas de la tremblante (sc pour scrapie) ou PrPes pour résistante. 1, record 4, French, - PrP%20de%20la%20tremblante
