The addition of sodium diacetate alone or in combination with other ingredients, such as sodium lactate or potassium lactate, has been shown to not effect or to have a very limited effect on meat color (Anwar et al, 2000; Grones et al., 2000).
There are three types of cell present in bone that are of particular interest â osteoblasts, osteocytes and osteoclasts, which are respectively responsible for the production, maintenance and resorption of bone. 1  Osteoblasts. 2  Mononucleated âbone-formingâ cells found near the surface of bones.
Osteoclast: A cell that nibbles at and breaks down bone and is responsible for bone resorption. Osteoclasts are large multinucleate cells (cells with more than one nucleus) that differentiate from another type of cell called a macrophage. In normal bone, bone formation and bone resorption are closely coupled processes involved in the normal remodeling of bone. In osteoporosis, the net rate of bone resorption exceeds the rate of bone formation, resulting in a decrease in bone mass without a defect in bone mineralization. In women, osteoclast activity is increased because of decreased estrogen after the menopause.
