todays, parallel to growing in acceptance of functional products, various additives are used to improve the characteristics of functional food products. the coenzyme q10 is an essential component for energy conversion and production of adenosine triphosphate (atp) in the membranes of all body cells and organelles, especially the inner mitochondrial membrane is found. coenzyme q10 plays a vital ...

1. Treatment of crude concentrates of streptokinase with protamine results in removal of about 90 per cent of the nitrogenous material, including nucleic acid and protease inhibitor, with little or no loss of activity. 2. Streptokinase solutions undergo reversible inactivation with changes in pH. The rate and extent of inactivation are dependent on pH, being greatest over a very narrow range ab...

The locus coeruleus (LC) is a chemoreceptive brain stem region in anuran amphibians and contains neurons sensitive to physiological changes in CO2/pH. The ventilatory and central sensitivity to CO2/pH is proportional to the temperature in amphibians, i.e., sensitivity increases with increasing temperature. We hypothesized that LC neurons from bullfrogs, Lithobates catesbeianus, would increase C...

ferula galbaniflua boiss is one of the natural plants of iran that its exudates, barijeh gum, can be used in food industry. the present study explored the properties of a new gum extracted from tubers of ferula galbaniflua. for this purpose, barijeh gum was extracted from crude exudates by alcoholic extraction with 90% ethanol. the purity of gum was relatively high, and it composed mostly of sa...

biological control plays a very important role in pest management. bacillus thuringiensis ber. has been widely used as a biological control agent in over 60% of microbial-based pesticides and moreover, its gene inducing pest resistance has been used in the production of a large number of transgenic plants (bt-crops). the successful performance of some of these bt-based bio-pesticides depends on...

rhelogical properties of mucilage extracted from garden cress (lepidium sativum l.) seeds as influenced by gum concentration (0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1.0 % w/w), temperature (5, 25 and 40 ?c), as well as ph (2.5, 4, 7 and 10) were investigated. non-newtonian shear thinning flow behavour was observed with the power law model well describing the rheological behavior of the solutions. increasing the sol...

This work deals with the non-biodegradable azo-dye Orange II degradation using the heterogeneous Fenton-like reaction using Fe/ZSM-5 zeolite as catalyst. The influence of some relevant parameters was studied, namely pH and temperature in the ranges 3.0 – 8.5 and 30 – 53 oC, respectively. Decolorization degree, TOC removal and leaching were evaluated along time in the experiments done. It was fo...

The process parameters, starch-water ratio (A, (w/v) %), pH of suspension (B), Temperature(C, °C) and Time (D, hrs.)., were optimized for the preparation of starch-lysine conjugate and studying their effect on stability of emulsions by calculating emulsion stability index using response surface methodology. The optimized conditions are pH 9.0, temperature 60C, reaction time 6 hrs, starch:water ...

Hydrogels of an interpenetrating polymeric network (IPN) composed of the temperaturesensitive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) and the pH-sensitive poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA) were prepared by a sequential UV polymerization method. The IPN hydrogels were characterized for their temperatureand pH-responsive behavior by equilibrium swelling studies, oscillatory swelling studies, and differ...

ethanol producing bacteria are useful in industrial production of biofuel. there are interesting for screening of active bacteria from natural resources and introduce to biofuel industries. the present study aims to isolation of ethanol producing bacteria with characterization, optimization, and evaluation of their ethanol productivity. samples from various fruits, plant saps and soils were scr...
