Protein heterogeneity is generated by post-translational modification, decomposition, and a variety of other processes, including chemical modification, denaturation, and aggregation. Since antibodies and recombinant proteins are now widely used for therapeutic treatment, it is essential to evaluate their heterogeneity during development, stability testing, and in the quality control of the final product.

The need to increase the use of low valued co-products derived from the processing of sugar beets has prompted the investigation of the structure of the pectin extracted from sugar beet pulp. The characterization of sugar beet pectin is essential as it has the potential to be used in the production of industrial products, e.g., as an emulsifying agent in food systems.

Saccharides are fundamental substances that express various bioactivities and may exist independently or form complexes with proteins or lipids.

Melamine is an organic base and a trimer of cyanamide, with a 1,3,5-triazine skeleton. Melamine can react with formaldehyde to produce melamine resin, a very durable thermosetting plastic, and melamine foam, a polymeric cleaning product. Some end products made from melamine include countertops, dry erase boards, fabrics, glues, housewares, and flame retardants. Melamine is also one of the major components in Pigment Yellow 150, a colorant in inks and plastics.
