There is still very limited information on the physical and chemical properties of dried distiller’s grain with solubles (DDGS) derived from wheat-based fuel ethanol production. As this coproduct become increasingly more available in Western Canada, baseline information on its properties is essential in responding to problems posed by existing processing, handling, storage, and transportation s...

Physico-chemical profiling is a fundamental tool at the early stage of drug discovery in screening drug-like candidates. Complex physico-chemical profiling, including molecular properties such as solubility, ionization, lipophilicity and permeability, has been found to be of predictive power in ADME (absorption, distribution, metabolism, elimination). In the present thesis work, the physico-che...

In the course of our screening for antitumor antibiotics, MPC1001 was isolated from a microorganism, Cladorrhinum sp. KY4922. MPC1001 exhibited antimicrobial activity, and antiproliferative activity against human tumor cell lines. In this paper, we describe the taxonomy of the producing organism, fermentation, isolation, physico-chemical properties and biological activities of MPC1001. The cult...

During the past 25 years, heparin extraction and purification processes have changed. The results of these changes are reflected by the continuous increase in potency of the International Standard for heparin. This increase is due not only to a higher purity, but also to a number of changes in the physico-chemical characteristics of heparin. For long time, all these changes have been disregarde...

Toddalia asiatica var. gracilis (L) Lam is a commonly used medicinal plant in Indian system of Medicine. A detailed pharmacognostic study on the aerial parts of the medicinal plant is presented. Physico-chemical microscopical and fluorescent characteristics have been described. Qualitative phytochemical tests have also been carried out and the results presented.

the study comparatively assessed the impacts of farm activities on the abundance and diversity of soil arthropods and soil physico-chemical parameters of the practical year training programme (pytp) farmlands, university of ibadan, south western nigeria. soil arthropods were collected from september, 2010 to february, 2011 in five sampling sites of pytp farmlands using berlese tullgren extracti...

the oil extracted from three major canola cultivars (hyolla401, hyolla420 and rgs003) grown in golestan province was analyzed for physico-chemical properties, fatty acid composition, minerals content, and stability during 16 weeks of storage. according to the results, the highest iodine value and refractive index belonged to hyolla401. the highest saponification value was observed in hyolla420....

in this study, micromorphological properties of some samples collected from pedons polluted with petroleum refinery wastes and some adjacent unpolluted pedons were studied. after description of the studied pedons, disturbed and undisturbed samples were collected for physicochemical and micromorphological analyses. the results showed that the physicochemical properties (i.e. structure, bulk dens...
