Carum copticum L. is a medicinal plant of the Apiaceae family with medicinal properties. In this study, the effects of drought stress on the photosynthetic pigments and essential oils as well as the enzymatic and non-enzymatic mechanisms of the seedlings and callus of C. copticum were investigated within the framework of a controlled experiment under in vitro conditions. For this purpose, the s...

Biofoam merupakan salah satu produk bioplastik yang dikembangkan untuk mengurangi penggunaan plastik saat ini. terbuat dari matriks utama dapat berasal bahan polimer alam membentuk gel dan busa seperti sorbitol diisosianat (poliuretan). Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui pengaruh perbandingan sorbitol. TDI-80 pada karakteristik biokomposit pati jagung-glukomanan menentukan perlakuan terbaik. R...

The effects of acute and chronic treatment with ethanol on transport of reducing equivalents into mitochondria via the malate-aspartate shuttle were studied in perfused rat liver. The shuttle capacity was estimated from the decrease in rates of glucose production from the reduced substrate sorbitol caused by an increase in the NADH/NAD+ ratio in the cytosol due to metabolism of ethanol. The gre...

Influence of fructose, sucrose, glucose, sorbitol and maltose carbon sources at various concentrations on rooting and hyperhydricity apple rootstock MM106 was investigated. Type and concentration of sugars had a significant effect on rooting percentage, mean root number, mean root length, hyperhydricity, as well as survival rate. The in vitro cultures produced the higher rooting percentage, mea...

Sorbitol and glycerol, along with other inactive ingredients such as preservatives and dyes, are commonly used in various pharmaceutical and personal care products. To accurately assess the effectiveness of various formulations containing sorbitol and/or glycerol, their quantitative determination is essential. In the current study, two types of detectors (a Varian evaporative light scattering d...

Quantitative nuclear magnetic resonance was used to measure the freezing behaviour of lamellar phases of phosphatidylcholine in water and in solutions of sorbitol. Both solute and solvent were deuterated in different series of experiments to allow the calculation of the partitioning of solute and solvent molecules between the lamellar phase and unfrozen bulk solution. Sorbitol, as well as water...

Hyperosmotic stresses represent one of the major constraints that adversely affect plants growth, development, and productivity. In this study, the focus was on early responses to hyperosmotic stress- (NaCl and sorbitol) induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, cytosolic Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)]cyt) increase, ion fluxes, and mitochondrial potential variations, and on their links ...

The growth of Pichia pastoris in a mixture of either glycerol or glucose and methanol follows a diauxic growth, with C1 utilizing enzymes being repressed. Therefore, these carbon sources can not be used as a mixture with methanol to simultaneously grow P. pastoris and induce C1 utilizing enzymes, especially in a shake flask cultures of AOX-deficient P. pastoris. Among the alternative carbon sou...

The present research work focused on developing Biodegradable tableware composed of rice straw and plasticizers like sorbitol, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). In the manufacture concentration sorbitol used was 20%, 30%, 35%, 40% PVA 2%, 5%, 10% by weight dry ingredients. Mechanical properties such as tensile strength, compressive water absorption, were studied in fabricated BD plate. Maximum strength ...
