This study examined the effect of fermented ginseng (FG) on memory impairment and β-amyloid (Aβ) reduction in models of Alzheimer's disease (AD) in vitro and in vivo. FG extract was prepared by steaming and fermenting ginseng. In vitro assessment measured soluble Aβ42 levels in HeLa cells, which stably express the Swedish mutant form of amyloid precursor protein. After 8 h incubation with the F...

Abstract The traditional steam maintenance process of concrete prestressed pipe piles adopts maintenance, and the energy utilization rate is not high due to inaccurate temperature automatic control system in steaming pool serious loss during process. In order effectively ensure strength durability pre-products, shorten production cycle at same time, realize automation pond system, new by manual...

abstract: regular consumption of seafood has been widely recommended by the authorities. however, some species especially benthic crustaceans accumulate heavy metals. in addition, the health risks associated to the consumption of such seafood might increase if the consumers use cooking methods that enhance the concentration of heavy metals. in this study, the effects of different cooking method...

The surface decontamination of meat by steaming and by lactic acid prolongs its shelf life. Possible changes of colour were evaluated by reflectance spectrophotometry and video image analysis (VIA). Reflectance spectra were measured using a D(65) source and CIELab values L(∗), a(∗) and b(∗) were calculated together with ratios of the different myoglobin forms (red, oxy, met). The same samples w...

Cistanche deserticola (CD) is one of the two authoritative source plants of Cistanches Herba, a well-known medicinal plant. Herein, 1H NMR spectroscopy was employed to characterize the chemical profile and to distinguish the different parts, as well as to propose a new processing workflow for CD. Signal assignment was achieved by multiple one and two dimensional NMR spectroscopic techniques in ...

Abstract Reusing soil can reduce environmental impacts associated with obtaining natural fresh during road construction and analogous activities. However, the movement reuse of soils spread numerous plant diseases pests, including propagules weeds invasive alien species. To avoid barnyardgrass in reused soil, its seeds must be killed before that is to new areas. We investigated possibility ther...

Taking into account increasing volumes of the international seaborne trade, liner shipping companies have to ensure efficiency of their operations in order to remain competitive. The bunker consumption cost constitutes a substantial portion of the total vessel operating cost and directly affects revenues of liner shipping companies. “Slow steaming” became a common strategy among ocean carriers ...

This study compared the contents of ginsenosides depending on steaming conditions of red ginsengs to provide basic information for developing functional foods using red ginsengs. The red ginseng steamed eight times at 98℃ ranked atop the amounts of prosapogenins ever detected in red ginsengs (ginsenoside Rg2, Rg3, Rg5, Rg6, Rh1, Rh4, Rk1, Rk3, F1, F4, 1.15%) among red ginsengs steamed more than...
