Sedimentation analysis of factor VIII complex was performed in the analytical ultracentrifuge using partition cells. This method allowed for the calculation of three different sedimentation coefficients from each run: one based on ristocetin agglutination activity for von Willebrand protein. 5WF; one based on coagulant activity for factor VIIIC. and one based on the schlieren or adsorption data...

Plant-derived coagulants have exhibited a good potential in wastewater treatment due to their “green” characteristics, high coagulating-flocculating activity, cost-effectiveness, and biodegradability. Nevertheless, research studies focused mainly on bench-scale experiments; pilot-scale full-scale simulations are still limited. Herein, we firstly report study of real domestic textile using Cassi...

The aim of the present work is to investigate potential use banana peel waste as a natural coagulant and enhance its coagulation performance using green modification approach for removal synthetic water turbidity river treatment. Here, regular powder had an average particle size diameter 978 ± 37 nm 602 13 nm, respectively, while modified possessed 571 41 360 19 diameter, respectively. was inve...

The pH of cheese affects the texture of curd directly by influencing the hydratation of the caseins; all else being equal, high pH cheeses are softer than more acid cheeses. pH also affects texture and flavour indirectly by affecting the activity of enzymes important to ripening and, in the case of the coagulant, the retention of enzyme in the curd during manufacture [1]. Since low pH is known ...

Cross-neutralization of Crotalus durissus terrificus venom coagulant activity was tested using bivalent horse antivenom against Bothrops alternatus and Bothrops diporus venoms. Our in vitro and in vivo experiments showed that bothropic antivenom neutralizes the thrombin-like activity of crotalic snake venom and this cross-reaction was demonstrated by immunoassays either with whole venom or a pu...
