in the present research, effects of modified atmosphere packaging (map) includingthree gas combinations and two packaging films (low density polyethylene (ldpe) andpolypropylene (pp)) on postharvest quality and storage-life of 'elberta' peach wereevaluated. the study was conducted as a factorial experiment based on crd(completely randomized design) with three replicates for 9 weeks. f...

A new analytical method has been developed for the quantitative determination of ethylene glycol-containing nonionic surfactants, such as polyethylene glycol 8000, polysorbate 80, and Pluronic F-68. These surfactants are commonly used in pharmaceutical protein preparations, thus, testing in the presence of protein is required. This method is based on the capillary gas chromatographic analysis o...

Recently, it is demanded to form a high performance pattern on an enlarged circuit board in a low cost in the process to produce LCD devices. In the part of upgrading the performance, the materials are reexamined such as Al or Mo to Cu. Furthermore, in the process of reexamining the materials, it is demanded that such materials are low in environmental load. Therefore, we examined if it is poss...

To the Editor: We wish to substantiate the important observations of LeGatt and Tisdell (1) cautioning against the use of propylene glycol as an internal standard for quantifying ethylene glycol. A 32-yearold woman presented to our emergency department in an agitated state after the ingestion of multiple drugs in an attempted suicide. Gastric lavage and charcoal were administered as well as int...

Treatment of etiolated pea (Pisum sativum L.) internode tissue with ethylene gas inhibits elongation and induces lateral expansion. Precise kinetics of the induction of this altered mode of growth of excised internode segments were recorded using a double laser optical monitoring device. Inhibition of elongation and promotion of lateral expansion began after about 1 hour of treatment and achiev...

Ethylene is a gaseous ripening phytohormone of fruits and plants. Presently, ethylene is primarily measured with stationary equipment in laboratories. Applying in situ measurement at the point of natural ethylene generation has been hampered by the lack of portable units designed to detect ethylene at necessary resolutions of a few parts per billion. Moreover, high humidity inside controlled at...

(14)C-Ethylene was metabolized by etiolated pigweed seedlings (Amaranthus retroflexus L.) in the manner similar to that observed in other plants. The hormone was oxidized to (14)CO(2) and incorporated into (14)C-tissue components. Selected cyclic olefins with differing abilities to block ethylene action were used to determine if ethylene metabolism in pigweed is necessary for ethylene action. 2...

Since the discovery of MACC as a major metabolite of both endogenous and exogenously applied ACC, it has become evident that the formation of MACC from ACC can act to regulate ethylene production in certain tissues. Hence, it was suggested that MACC could serve as an indicator of water-stress history in plant tissues. The accurate quantification of MACC in plant tissues is essential for the...

The interaction of formaldehyde with Pt/TiO2 and Au/TiO2 catalysts was investigated at 300–473 K by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. The effects of the pretreatments and the metal content of the catalysts, as well as the effects of the reaction temperature on the formation of the surface species and on the gas phase products were studied. Molecularly adsorbed forma...
