Abstract:
The proteolytic activity in three commercial ultra-pasteurized, aseptically packaged samples of cream that developed bitter flavor was studied. Samples were analyzed for microorganisms and rate of proteolysis as affected by reaction temperature and pH. The temperature effect was determined at 20, 30, 37, 45, and 50 C. Samples A and B had an optimum temperature of 37 C for proteolytic activity while Sample C had its optimum between 30 and 37 C. Sample B had increased activity at pH 7.0, 8.0 and 9.0. Sample A had increased activity between pH 7.0 and 7.5 while Sample C exhibited greatest activity at pH 8.0. The rate of proteolysis increased with incubation time.

SN1 Reaction: Stereochemistry
In the first step of an SN1 reaction, the bond between the electrophilic carbon and the leaving group ionizes to generate the carbocation intermediate. The second step of the mechanism is the nucleophilic attack.
In the formed carbocation, the positively charged carbon is sp2 hybridized with a trigonal planar geometry. As all the three substituents lie on the same plane, a plane of symmetry for the...
