esterification of chitosan with adipic acid catalyzed by immobilized candida antarctica lipase b was carried out in this study. response surface methodology (rsm) based on a four-factor- five-level small central composite design (sccd) was employed to model and analyze the reaction. a total of 21 experiments representing different combinations of the four reaction parameters including ch...

the objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of sources of four starch on milk production and composition, nutrients digestibility and blood metabolites of lactating holstein cows. eight multiparous holstein cows (683±31 kg of body weight; 83±9 dim) were used in a replicated 4×4 latin square design with 21-d periods. the exprimental diets contained wheat, barley, corn, or potato as t...

in order to evaluate the effect of salinity on water relation, ion accumulation, solute sugar, proline content, chlorophyll florescence and seed yield of isabgul (plantago ovata), french psyllium (p. psyllium) and great plantain (p. major), an experiment was conducted at vali-e-asr university of rafsanjan in 2010. this study was carried out as factorial experiment based on randomized complete b...

RESEARCH DESIGN ANDMETHODSdNine healthy, normal-weight male volunteers (age 21–25 years) were studied in this double-blind, randomized, cross-over trial. All subjects consumed four different sweetened beverages (600 mL/day) for 3 weeks each: medium fructose (MF) at 40 g/day, and high fructose (HF), high glucose (HG), and high sucrose (HS) each at 80 g/day. Euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamps wit...
