Titanium dioxide (TiO2) has various applications in consumer products and is also used as an additive in food and feeding stuffs. For the characterisation of this product, including the determination of nanoparticles, there is a strong need for the availability of corresponding methods of analysis. This paper presents an optimisation process for the characterisation of polydisperse-coated TiO2 ...

It is now well known that the skeleton serves as a store of calcium and phosphorus, and that a part of the mineral requirements of lactation is met by bone resorption. In an earlier communication (Warnock & Duckworth, 1944) the literature was surveyed and the role of the spongiosa as a source of minerals for lactation in the rat was studied under conditions of adequate calcium intake. Certain i...

This was necessitated by the comparatively primitive methods of handling and transporting milk, and also to a considerable extent by the consumers' prejudice against milk that had been cooled and dela...

A rapid method of predicting the growing situation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa is presented. Gas sensors were used to acquire volatile compounds generated by P. aeruginosa on agar plates and meat stuffs. Then, optimal sensors were selected to simulate P. aeruginosa growth using modified Logistic and Gompertz equations by odor changes. The results showed that the responses of S8 or S10 yielded hig...

Encephalomalacia is readily produced in chicks by vitamin E-deficient diets containing polyunsaturated fatty acids of the linoleic acid series or their esters (Dam, Nielsen, Prange & Sendergaard, 1958; Century, Honvitt & Bailey, 1959; Machlin & Gordon, 1960). The vitamin is believed to protect against the development of the disease by acting as an antioxidant in vivo, i.e. by preventing the per...
