The effect of hydrogen ion concentration on the precipitating and protective actions of proteins on colloidal gold and gum benzoin.

Hydrogen sensing by localized surface plasmon resonance in colloidal solutions of Au-WO3-Pd

Nowadays, hydrogen has attracted significant attention as a next generation clean energy source. Hydrogen is highly flammable, so detection of hydrogen gas is required. Gold nanoparticle based localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) is an advanced and powerful sensing technique, which is well known for its high sensitivity to surrounding refractive index change in the local environment. We p...

Spectrophotometric Determination of 4-Hydroxy-2-mercapto-6-methylpyrimidine Based on Aggregation of Colloidal Gold Nanoparticles

We report herein the development of a highly sensitive colorimetric method for the detection of 4-hydroxy-2-mercapto-6-methylpyrimidine (MTU) which acts as an anti-thyroid drug utilizing citrate capped gold nanoparticles (Au-NPs). This thiol-containing molecule exhibits intriguing affinity with Au-NPs. The reactivity involves the displacement of the citrate shell by the thiolate shell followed ...

Synthesis and characterization of acrylic acid grafted gum tragacanth and its effect in Fe2+ removal

In this paper, grafting of acrylic acid monomer on Gum tragacanth was performed. Variable of experiment included concentration of initiators and monomer, time, and temperature. Grafting efficiency was measured in the term of percentage of grafting (%G) and percentage of grafting efficiency (%E). Effectiveness of grafted gum in ferrous ion removal at different condition was assessed. According t...

The Effects of Iranian Gum Tragacanth on the Foaming Properties of Egg White Proteins in Comparison with Guar and Xanthan Gums

ABSTRACT: This paper presents the results of studies concerned with the preparation of fresh food foams based on egg white and various hydrocolloids including Iranian gum tragacanth, guar and xanthan gums at different concentrations (0.002-0.040% w/w). The basic physical parameters of the obtained foams such as overrun, stability and morphology of gas bubbles were measured. Viscosity measuremen...
