It is known that extraction of some grasses with neutral detergent (ND) increases the in vitro digestibility [Kennedy, P.M., Lowry, J.B., Conlan, L.L., 1999. J. Sci. Food Agric. 79, 544]. Here, we report experiments which de®ned the contribution of ND components to digestibility increases. Substrates were prepared from spear grass (Heteropogon contortus) by boiling at neutral pH in solutions of...

In the crystal structure of the title compound, C5H14NO4P·H2O, the zwitterionic phospho-choline mol-ecules are connected by an O-H⋯O hydrogen bond between the phosphate groups, forming a zigzag chain along the b-axis direction. The chains are further connected through O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds involving water mol-ecules, forming a layer parallel to (101). Three and one C-H⋯O inter-actions are also o...

The physicochemical properties relevant to biological activity of selected bisphosphonates such as clodronate disodium salt, etidronate disodium salt, pamidronate disodium salt, alendronate sodium salt, ibandronate sodium salt, risedronate sodium salt and zoledronate disodium salt were determined using in silico methods. The main aim of our research was to investigate and propose molecular dete...

The solubility of disodium terephthalate in aqueous sodium hydroxide and hydroxide–ethylene glycol mixtures was determined experimentally by temperature analysis, gravimetry titration. experimental results were compared with existing literature data the phase diagrams from −25 to 70 °C. has no considerable dependence on temperature. freezing points solutions vary composition like any other solu...

The title compound, racemic bnppa, C(20)H(13)O(4)P, crystallizes with four mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit. Two independent centrosymmetric O-H⋯O hydrogen-bonded tetra-mers, each involving two of the symmetry-independent mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit generate the packing motif in the crystal structure. The hydro-phobic parts of the tetra-mers connect to their neighbours via C-H⋯π and π-π ...

Plasma glucose 2H enrichment was quantified by 2H NMR in patients with cirrhosis (n=6) and healthy subjects (n=5) fasted for 16 h and given 2H(2)O to approximately 0.5% body water. The percent contribution of glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis to glucose production (GP) was estimated from the relative enrichments of hydrogen 5 and hydrogen 2 of plasma glucose. Fasting plasma glucose levels were...
