the present study aims to have a comparative study of the results, from biological monitoring as well as conventional method, based on physico-chemical variables. water quality index (wqi) and planktonic diatom metrics have been used to determine water quality and ecological conditions of the dong nai river (dnr) and canonical correspondence analysis (cca) to find out the main environmental var...

background and objectives: this study is the first research on the physiochemical characteristics, microbial population and microstructure of poosti cheese over 90-days of ripening. the main difference between poosti cheese and other types of traditional cheese is the skin, which is used for its storage. materials and methods: physicochemical characteristics including moisture, salt, ph, acidit...

serious concerns have been expressed about potential health risks of nano silver containing consumer products (agnps) therefore regulatory health risk assessment on such nanoparticles has become mandatory for the safe use of agnpsinbiomedicalproducts with special concerns to the mutagenic potentials. in this study, we examined the inhibitory and mutagenicity effects of agnps in three different ...

shampoos are products which remove surface grease and dirt from the hair shaft and scalp. the cleansing or detergent action of a shampoo is a primary function. however, the foaming characteristic of a shampoo has an important role in its acceptability. often alkanolamides are used for the formation of a stable foam; but because of producing nitrosamines, they are potentially carcinogenic compou...

ethylammonium propionate with high polarity and ionic conductivity was synthesized andcharacterized with 1hnmr and ir. this ionic liquid which is prepared from readily available startingmaterial in high yield shows reasonably high at viscosity and heat stability up to 150 °c. this ionicliquid is able to dissolve most of organic solvents due to the hydrogen interaction between ionicliquid and th...

abstract         background and objective: lactic acid bacteria are gram-positive, catalase-negative, nonsporulating, either rod- or coccus-shaped bacteria that have beneficial effects on their hosts by producing antimicrobial substances such as lactic acid, hydrogen peroxide, bacteriocins and biosurfactants. bacteriocins are antimicrobial peptides that are produced by bacteria and can inhibit ...

To clarify the differences between commercially available compounds, clinical candidates, and launched drugs with regard to distribution of physicochemical properties and to characterize the correlation between physicochemical properties, we conducted analyses on physicochemical descriptors of commercially available compounds, clinical candidates, and launched drugs. Initial analysis of the mar...

A weaning food based on malted foxtail millet flour (30%), malted barnyard millet flour (30%), roasted soybean flour (25%) and skim milk powder (15%) was prepared. The mix contained 18.37 g protein and 398 kcal energy per 100g. The nutrient composition of this unfortified weaning (UW) mix met the Prevention of Food Adulteration (PFA) standards, except in total ash. In order to meet the minor co...
