The initial solubilization of yolk platelets demonstrated that the lipid was present in the soluble fraction containing lipovitellin and phosvitin. These two proteins have been resolved and the lipovitellin fraction was shown to exhibit the absorption maximum at 375 nm that characterizes DCD [dorsalizing cytoplasmic determinant]. The lipovitellin was purified and its total lipids extracted and separated on HPLC [high-performance liquid chromatography]. A lipid was found that has identical elution properties from a C18 reverse HPLC column and mass as DCD. Therefore, lipovitellin, a zinc protein known to contain 17% lipid by weight, is the oocyte storage protein for DCD. 2, record 1, English, - lipovitellin

Unfortunately for the baker, the water absorption at mixing, as determined with the farinograph, does not necessarily relate to baking absorption which is normally judged by the handling properties of the dough at panning and not at the initial mixing stage. The reason is that during fermentation, dough softens and takes on a much lower consistency when remixed or subsequently worked. 1, record 3, English, - initial%20mixing%20stage

Malheureusement pour le boulanger, l'absorption de l'eau au pétrissage, telle qu'on l'établit au farinographe, n'est pas nécessairement en rapport avec l'hydratation de la farine, qui s'apprécie normalement par les qualités de travail de la pâte lors de la mise en forme et non au début du pétrissage. La raison en est que, pendant la fermentation, la pâte s'amollit et prend une consistance nettement moins ferme quand on fait un repétrissage ou qu'on la retravaille ultérieurement. 1, record 3, French, - d%C3%A9but%20du%20p%C3%A9trissage

En biologie, le terme de photorécepteur est parfois utilisé pour désigner tout dispositif susceptible de capter l'énergie lumineuse; en ce sens les chloroplastes des végétaux ou les chromatophores des Bactéries sont des photorécepteurs. Dans une acception plus restreinte (...) les photorécepteurs sont les structures dont la fonction est de détecter les variations d'éclairement du milieu. Cette fonction ne doit pas être confondue avec celle qui consiste en une absorption de l'énergie lumineuse en vue de son utilisation au bénéfice de l'organisme (synthèse chlorophyllienne, par exemple). Bien qu'elle en constitue l'étape initiale, à la fois du point de vue phylogénétique et du point de vue fonctionnel, la photoréception doit être également distinguée de la vision, laquelle suppose la formation d'une image et l'analyse des informations qu'elle contient. 1, record 8, French, - photor%C3%A9ception
