Water hydration in cutinized cell walls: a physico-chemical analysis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Water sorption by plant cuticular membrane isolates, mainly identified as polysaccharides, after selective extraction of the lipid components waxes and cutin was measured over the whole range of water activity. From water sorption isotherm, the strengths of water binding and water clustering were estimated. Data obtained by differential scanning calorimetry and Fourier-transform and near infrared spectroscopy confirmed the existence of water molecules in different macromolecular environments.

INVESTIGATING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HEAT OF HYDRATION AND PHYSICO-MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF CALCIUM SULFATE HEMIHYDRATE IN THE PRESENCE OF ADDITIVES
This article addresses the interplay between heat of hydration and physico-mechanical properties of calcium sulfate hemi-hydrate in the presence of retarding additives such as citric and malic acids and sodium citrate. The heat of hydration was measured using a semi-isothermal calorimeter. Results proved that citric and malic acids had superior impact on hydration and mechanical properties. Whi...

Ion hydrates in polar solutions is a rich and multi-discipline topic. Examples can be found in molecular biology topics such as nerve signal transfer, electrolyte transport, nutrient transport through cell walls, and inter-cell communication. Industrial applications such as toxic chemical studies and treatment in ground water, and polar solvent hydration of surfaces. Examples of these are UO2 a...
متن کاملFreezing stresses and hydration of isolated cell walls.
The hydration of the cell walls of the giant alga Chara australis was measured as a function of temperature using quantitative deuterium nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) of samples hydrated with D2O. At temperatures 23-5K below freezing, the hydration ratio (the ratio of mass of unfrozen water in microscopic phases in the cell wall to the dry mass) increases slowly with increasing temperature f...
متن کاملAssessment of Birjand flood plain water quality by physico-chemical parameters analysis in Iran
We assessed the physico-chemical status of twelve surface water samples from the Birjand flood plain (east of Iran) during fall 2010. The sampling points were selected on the basis of their importance. The physico-chemical parameters such as pH, temperature (T), electrical conductivity (EC), total dissolved solids (TDS), total hardness (TH), calcium (Ca2+), magnesium (Mg2+ ), sodium (Na+), pota...
متن کاملAssessment of Selected Physico-Chemical Properties and Metals in Qeera Stream Water, Bakkee-Jamaa, Nekemte, Ethiopia
Abstract In this paper, Qeera wastewater containing stream, found in Bakkee-Jamaa district of Nekemte town, was assessed for selected metals and physico-chemical properties. The metals were determined by flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry (FAAS). Additional water samples collected from Dangi spring water, which is found about 10 km far away from the town, and Chalalaqi waste water ...
