The occurrence of 2-keto-3-deoxy-D-manno-octonic acid (KDO) in lipopolysaccharides (LPS) of Vibrio parahaemolyticus was demonstrated for the first time by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry after dephosphorylation, reduction, and methylation. KDO was virtually completely phosphorylated, since no KDO was detected by either gas chromatography or thiobarbituric acid assay before dephosphorylatio...

The reaction between barbituric acid or 2-thiobarbituric acid and different benzaldehydes, dependent upon the applied reaction conditions, selectively yields three different product types, i.e. 5-benzylidene(thio)barbituric acids II, symetric Michael adducts III or 5-phenyl-1H-pyrano[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4(3H,5H)-diones and 5-phenyl-2-thioxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrano[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4(5H)-ones IV. Th...

Lipid oxidation was studied in M. longissimusdorsiand M. semimembranosusin male lambs of Northeastern Bulgarian Fine Wool Breed and cross of this breed with Ile de France, reared indoors and on pasture. The oxidation of the lipids was determined by quantification of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), formed during the storage of the muscles at 4 ˚С until 6th dayand -20 ˚С until 90...

Experimental resu!ts reported in the literature suggest that tumour cells are under oxidative stress, both as a consequence of their altered biochemistry and of the tumour environment. Unfortunately, tumour cells are able to resist this oxidative stress. The cause for their exceptional resistance may be a low content of unsaturated fatty acids or a high level of antioxidants in the cell membran...

We examined the effects of red potato flakes (RPF) on serum antioxidant potential and hepatic mRNA in rats. The serum thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances concentration and hepatic superoxide dismutase mRNA level in rats fed RPF were significantly lower and higher respectively than those in control rats. These results suggest that RPF might improve the antioxidant system by enhancing hepatic...

This study aims to improve knowledge on fermented beef and fallow deer sausages the effect of nitrite elimination addition freeze dried acid whey fatty profile volatile compounds. Three different formulations within each two product groups, made meat, respectively, were prepared: control sample with sodium nitrite, without freeze-dried powder (0.7%). After production, subjected analysis includi...
