Background Cryopreservation procedure for poultry semen is not reliable due to structural and biochemical damages which can lead to reduction in sperm quality and fertility. Development of cryopreservation medium has crucial effects for successful recovery of sperm after freezing. The objective of this study was assessment of cryopreservation of rooster semen using hand-made cryopreservation me...

the article addresses the contemporary quest for inexpensive carbon feedstocks to be used for cost efficient biomediated polymer production; such polymers can potentially be applied in the food technology sector, mainly for packaging purposes. in particular, the work shines a light on crude glycerol, a surplus stream of the globally tremendously emerging biodiesel industry. crude glycerol can b...

Background: In-situ preservation of cauda epididymal spermatozoa at -10 degree centigrade with electrolyte free media for obtaining maximum functional gametes than preservation at 5 degree centigrade. Materials and Methods: Electrolyte free media prepared with soybean lecithin-glycerol, Coenzyme Q10 - glycerol and soybean lecithin - Coenzyme Q10- glycerol were inoculated separately into ligated...

the possibility of applying membrane distillation to support the fermentation process was investigated. the capillary polypropylene membranes were assembled in the membrane modules. the studies were carried out using the standard solutions containing the compounds frequently occurring in the broths such as ethanol, citric, acetic and lactic acids, glycerol and 1,3-propanediol. the performance o...

the potential and performance of various gram-negative, gram-positive and archaeal wild type microorganisms, and bacterial mixed cultures, as well as the application of genetically engineered strains as whole-cell biocatalysts for glycerol-based polyhydroxyalkanoate production are analyzed and assessed. this encompasses the comparison of growth and polyhydroxyalkanoate accumulation kinetics, th...

in this work, the results concerning to the mean activity coefficient measurements for nacl in the (glycerol + water) system using the potentiometric method are reported. the potentiometric measurements were performed on the galvanic cells without liquid junction of the type: ag|agcl|nacl (m), glycerol (wt%), h2o (1 - wt)%|na-ise, in various mixed solvent systems containing 0, 5, 10, 20 and 30 ...

       Food packaging extensively uses plastic films and containers of petroleum-based polymers for their excellent functional properties and competitive price. Plastic packaging has become a central focus of waste reduction efforts, particularly in aesthetic terms of damage to flora and fauna. Presently, consumers require greater quality and longer shelf lives for their foodstuffs, while they ...

Introduction: Mixotrophic microalgae systems have great potential for bioenergy production and wastewater treatment. Anaerobic-treated wastewater supplemented with carbon can improve biomass yield and quality, as it presents low carbon content. Alternative carbon sources in microalgae cultivation, such as glycerol, are essential for minimizing the economic and environmental impacts caused by bi...
