AIM To evaluate the effect of different mouth rinses 12 h after rinsing on genuine intra-oral halitosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-four adults with halitosis were included in a double-blind, crossover, randomized clinical trial. Halitosis was evaluated 12 h after rinsing with placebo and five mouth rinse products containing zinc acetate and chlorhexidine diacetate; zinc lactate, chlorhexid...

In the title compound, C(16)H(14)O(4), a derivative of 2,2'-biphenol, the benzene rings are oriented at a dihedral angle of 58.32 (3)°.

In the title salt, C(4)H(12)N(2) (2+)·2C(2)H(3)O(2) (-), the piperazine-1,4-diium cation has 2/m symmetry with the NH(2) unit located on a mirror plane and the acetate anion has m symmetry with all non-H atoms and one H atom located on a mirror plane. The piperazine ring adopts a chair conformation. In the crystal, the cations are linked with the anions via N-H⋯O hydrogen bonding into chains pa...

In the title mol-ecule, C(12)H(11)NO(4), the two acetyl groups are inclined by 71.3 (1) and 46.2 (1)° to the benzene ring. In the crystal structure, mol-ecules are linked into a chain along the c axis by C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

Refrigerated ready-to-eat (RTE) meats contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes were implicated in several listeriosis outbreaks. Lactate and diacetate have been shown to control L. monocytogenes in RTE meats. The objective of this study was to examine and model the effect of lactate (1.0% to 4.2%) and diacetate (0.05% to 0.2%) in ground ham on the lag phase duration (LPD, h) and growth rate (GR...

The Maillard Reaction Products (MRPs) are chemical compounds which have been known to be effective in chemoprevention. Death receptors (DR) play a central role in directing apoptosis in several cancer cells. In our previous study, we demonstrated that (E)-2,4-bis(p-hydroxyphenyl)-2-butenal, a MRP product, inhibited human colon cancer cell growth by inducing apoptosis via nuclear factor-κB (NF-κ...
