in this study, microwave-assisted solvent extraction (mase) was used to recover oil residues from pomace olive using acidic hexane. results obtained demonstrated that oil extraction yield increased with time, the amount of acetic acid in hexane and power radiation. for both radiation powers used (170 and 510w), the optimal extraction time and most interesting content of acetic acid in hexane ar...

the effect of magnetic field on the liquid-liquid equilibrium of two ternary systems (water + acetic acid + butyl acetate and water + acetic acid + dimethyl succinate) at 298.15 k under atmospheric pressure was investigated. the results obtained show that the strength of the magnetic field (0.02 t) affects the solubility of acetic acid in the used organic solvents. distribution coefficients and...

Esters of indole-3-acetic acid were extracted and purified from the liquid endosperm of immature fruits of various species of the horse chestnut (Aesculus parviflora, A. baumanni, A. pavia rubra, and A. pavia humulis). The liquid endosperm contained, at least 12 chromatographically distinct esters. One of these compounds was purified and characterized as an ester of indole-3-acetic acid and m...

Chlorogenic acid, a pharmacologically important compound, is a phenolic compound that occurs in certain commonly used medicinal herbs. We looked for the presence of this compound in the callus cultures of Varthemia persica DC (var. persica). We have evaluated the conditions for establishment of callus cultures of V. persica and the in vitro production of chlorogenic acid. Callus was initiated b...

The studies on removal of Vanadium were conducted using Granulated Activated Carbon (GAC) in combination with Chelating agents. Ethylene di-amine Tetra Acetic Acid (EDTA) and Nitrilo Tri Acetic Acid (NTA) at 25oC. The adsorption Efficiency was studied in the pH range of 2-8. The results reveals that Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms are followed during adsorption process with the chelating agen...

The (3,5-trans)-7-chloro-5-(2-chlorophenyl)-2-oxo-1,2,3,5-tetrahydro-4,1-benzoxazepine-3-acetic acid derivatives 1 have been previously identified as potent squalene synthase inhibitors. A series of (4,1-benzoxazepin-3-ylidene)acetic acid derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their inhibition of rat and human squalene synthase, and the (E)-isomers were found to exhibit potent inhibitor...

Indole-3-acetic acid is oxidized to oxindole-3-acetic acid by Zea mays tissue extracts. Shoot, root, and endosperm tissues have enzyme activities of 1 to 10 picomoles per hour per milligram protein. The enzyme is heat labile, is soluble, and requires oxygen for activity. Cofactors of mixed function oxygenase, peroxidase, and intermolecular dioxygenase are not stimulatory to enzymic activity....

Saccharomyces cerevisiae response and tolerance to acetic acid is critical in industrial biotechnology and in acidic food and beverages preservation. The HRK1 gene, encoding a protein kinase of unknown function belonging to the "Npr1-family" of kinases known to be involved in the regulation of plasma membrane transporters, is an important determinant of acetic acid tolerance. This study was per...

BACKGROUND Minocycline prevents the development of neuropathic and inflammatory pain by inhibiting microglial activation and postsynaptic currents. But, how minocycline obviates acute visceral pain is unclear. The present study investigated whether minocycline had an any antinociceptive effect on acetic acid-induced acute abdominal pain after intraperitoneal (i.p.) administration of saline or m...
