Specimen-to-specimen carryover during ThinPrep slide preparation was evaluated by comparing human papillomavirus genotypes detected prior and subsequent to the ThinPrep processing of 121 PreservCyt samples. Overall, 52 samples generated concordant genotypes and 38 had additional and 21 had fewer genotypes postprocessing. PreservCyt samples should be aliquoted for PCR testing prior to ThinPrep p...

This study was performed to investigate effect of essential oils on Aspergillus spore germination, growth, and mycotoxin production. In vitro antifungal and antiaflatoxigenic activities of Cymbopogon martinii, Foeniculum vulgare, and Trachyspermum ammi essential oils were carried out on toxigenic strains of Aspergillus species. Plant materials were hydrodistilled for 4-5 h in Clevenger apparatu...

BACKGROUND Regarding the public health concerns over the use of food preservatives in yoghurt drink "Doogh", the aim of this study was the determination of sodium benzoate, potassium sorbate and natamycin in Doogh. Based on Iranian national standard, none of these preservatives are permitted to be used in Doogh. METHODS A total of 39 Doogh samples were analyzed through RP-HPLC in order to qua...

Microbial growth did not occur when cucumbers were preserved without a thermal process by storage in solutions containing acetic acid, sodium benzoate, and calcium chloride to maintain tissue firmness. The concentrations of acetic acid and sodium benzoate required to ensure preservation were low enough so that stored cucumbers could be converted to the finished product without the need to wash ...

5 genetically distinct subtypes of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors have been cloned from human and rat tissues [l, 2 , 31 and these have been dubbed ml, m2, m3, m4 and m5. Each individual subtype has been expressed in animal cells and their pharmacology determined (4). It appears that the pharmacological subtypes Ml, M2 and M3 correspond to the cloned subtypes ml, m2 and m3. However, m4 and ...

Foodborne infections cause substantial issues all around the world, hence food safety is a major public health concern. The goal of this research to provide information scientific community on possible application two plant essential oil molecules, Carvacrol (CAR) and Cinnamaldehyde (CN), as next-generation antimicrobials in fight against foodborne pathogens. CAR CN demonstrated outstanding dos...

Abstract Jellies are usually preserved by artificial preservatives where they have harmful side effects and health hazards especially to infants. Honey fresh lemon extract juice is a natural preservative considered good substitute for preservative. Due increasing level of demand regarding concern issue safe food, an attempt has undertaken formulate the free guava–pineapple jelly their marketabi...

background: today, in an attempt to reduce the human exposure to synthetic compounds such as chemical preservatives, some studies aimed at the replacement of artificial preservatives with natural ingredients with natural protective effects. methods: in the present study the microbial inhibition effect of saturejaba chtiarica essential oil in three different concentrations (0.1, 0.05, and 0.025%...
