Ochratoxin A (OTA), ochratoxin B (OTB) and citrinin (CIT) in commercial foods were simultaneously determined and confirmed with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS). The samples examined were made up of cereal, fruit, coffee, and cacao products. The limits of quantification (S/N> or =10) of OTA, OTB and CIT were...

Cumulative daily load time series show that the early 2000s marked a step-change increase in riverine soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP) loads entering the Western Lake Erie Basin from three major tributaries: the Maumee, Sandusky, and Raisin Rivers. These elevated SRP loads have been sustained over the last 12 yr. Empirical regression models were used to estimate the contributions from (i) incr...

consumers prefer seedless grapes for table and raisin grape industry. release of new superior seedless grape cultivars is one of the main objectives in grape breeding programs. embryo rescue is one of the techniques to develop a new seedless cultivar. therefore, in this study, the effects of bud flower spraying with ba (50 ppm) and ccc (200 ppm) before blooming were studied in ‘flame seedless’ ...
