Microscale vegetation-soil feedback boosts hysteresis in a regional vegetation-climate system (2008)
Janssen, R.H.H., Meinders, M.B.J., Scheffer, M.
It has been hypothesized that a positive feedback between vegetation cover and monsoon circulation may lead to the existence of two alternative stable states in the Sahara region: a vegetated state...
Scaling of sound emission energy and fracture behavior of cellular solid foods (2008)
A detailed study was performed of the fracture behavior of toasted rusk rolls, a cellular solid food, at different water activities and morphologies. We find that the energies of the emitted sound...
Effect of structure in the sensory characterization of the crispness of toasted rusk roll (2008)
Primo-Martin, C., Castro-Prada, E.M., Meinders, M.B.J., Vereijken, P.F.G.
Crispness is a salient textural attribute of toasted foods strongly related to their preference. Crispness is affected by water content, mechanical properties and morphology of the food. Sound...
Interrelationship between aw, deformation speed, and crispness characterization (2008)
Castro Prada, E.M., Primo Martin, C., Meinders, M.B.J., Hamer, R.J.
Hoosbeek, M.R., Vos, J.M., Meinders, M.B.J., Velthorst, E.J., Scarascia-Mugnozza, G.
Free atmospheric CO2 enrichment (FACE) studies conducted at the whole-tree and ecosystem scale indicate that there is a marked increase in primary production, mainly allocated into below-ground...
Interrelation between cellular size, aw, and crispness perception for toasted rusk rolls (2007)
Castro Prada, E.M., Meinders, M.B.J., Primo Martin, C., Hamer, R.J.
The role of interfacial rheological properties on Ostwald ripening in emusions (2004)
The coarsening of emulsion droplets by Ostwald ripening is studied by means of numerical simulations in which time-dependent (elastic) interfacial behaviour is taken into account. Theoretical...
Structure and dynamics of egg white ovalbumin adsorbed at the air/water interface (2003)
Kudryashova, E.V., Meinders, M.B.J.
The molecular properties of egg white ovalbumin adsorbed at the air/water interface were studied using infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy (IRRAS) and time-resolved fluorescence anisotropy...
Wierenga, P.A., Meinders, M.B.J., Egmond, M.R., Voragen, A.G.J.
Using native and caprylated ovalbumin, the role of exposed hydrophobicity on the kinetics of protein adsorption to the air-water interface is studied. First, changes in the chemical properties of the...
Martin, A.H., Meinders, M.B.J., Bos, M.A., Cohen Stuart, M.A.
From absorption spectra obtained with infrared reflection-absorption spectroscopy (IRRAS), it is possible to obtain information on conformational changes at a secondary folding level of proteins...
Linssen, J.H., Meinders, M.B.J., Voragen, A.G.J.
The effect of flavour absorption on the oxygen permeability of low-density polyethylene (LDPE), polypropylene (PP), polycarbonate (PC) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) was studied using an...

The effect of flavour absorption on the oxygen permeability of low-density polyethylene (LDPE), polypropylene (PP), polycarbonate (PC) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) was studied using an...
Limited conformational change of beta-lactoglobulin when absorbed at the air-water interface (2002)
Detailed insight can be obtained from proteins at and near the air-water interface using external reflection IR and circular dichroism techniques. Besides information on local protein concentrations...
Proteins at air-water interfaces studied using external reflection circular dichroism (2002)
In this report we describe the first attempts to record external reflection circular dichroism (ERCD) spectra of beta -lactoglobulin solutions. It is shown that the accumulated proteins at and near...
Linssen, J.P.H., Meinders, M.B.J., Voragen, A.G.J.
The effect of flavour absorption on the oxygen permeability of low-density polyethylene (LDPE), polypropylene (PP), polycarbonate (PC) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) was studied using an...
IRRAS, a new tool in food science (2001)
This report illustrates that infra-red reflection absorption spectroscopy (IRRAS) is a new powerful and promising technique to obtain detailed molecular information of biomolecules at and near the...
Fourier transform photoemission spectroscopy (1996)
Meinders, M.B.J., Drabe, K.E., Jonkman, H.T., Sawatzky, G.A.
It is shown that photoemission spectra can be obtained by exciting the electrons with two phase-correlated wave trains. The phase-correlated wave trains are obtained by sending broad-band...
