Recent investigations have revealed the harmful health effects of elevated calcium levels in drinking water. Chemically activated biochar is most popular option for low-cost cation adsorption. However, these chemicals are hardly available rural communities, corrosive, and difficult to handle by unskilled personnel. This study aimed determine ability natural coconut vinegar, a common mild acid, ...

Olindias sambaquiensis, known as agua viva, is an endemic hydromedusa that is distributed from latitude 23 degrees to 42 degrees south in the southwestern Atlantic Ocean and is known to cause severe stings. This is the first report of the use of vinegar in disarming O sambaquiensis nematocysts and includes preliminary observations on its use in managing the stings of hydromedusae.

background and objectives: acetic acid bacteria (aab) are useful in industrial production of vinegar. the present study aims at isolation and identification of acetic acid bacteria with characterization, optimization, and evaluation of their acetic acid productivity. materials and methods: samples from various fruits were screened for presence of acetic acid bacteria on glucose, yeast extract, ...

Abstract Blueberries are widely recognized for their beneficial health effects due to bioactive compounds content. In addition, balsamic vinegars trade developed quickly because of wide acceptance in gourmet food. A novel product made with second quality berries, being suitable human consumption, i.e., blueberry vinegar, was evaluated. This work aimed assess changes Total Anthocyanins (TA), Phe...

Background: Capparis spinosa is used in different countries for prevention and treatment of various diseases. Its fruits are usually used in processed form especially with vinegar. Objective: The aim of the present study was investigating the effect of processing on some phytochemical constituents and biological activities of C. spinosa. Methods: The fruits were processed with grape vinegar. To...

Results of 3 experiments showed that infant rats (age 13-17 days) generalize conditioned taste aversions between alcohol and non-alcohol tastes such as a mixture of sucrose and quinine, apple cider vinegar, or coffee. Nonreinforced preexposure to those tastes reduced generalized aversions between them. Generalization between alcohol and sucrose-quinine was reduced not only after preexposure to ...

A flow injection method (FI) for the sequential determination of ethanol and acetic acid in vinegar is reported. The determination of ethanol is based on the oxidation of the pervaporated ethanol by K2Cr2O7. The acetic acid is determined by an acid-base reaction with Thymol Blue as the indicator. Both reactions are monitored photometrically at 600 nm using a single detector. Optimisation studie...

The phenolic composition, aroma compounds, and organic acid content of 83 vinegars have been determined. Multivariate analysis techniques have been used to classify these vinegar samples according to raw material (white wine, red wine, apple, honey, alcohol, balsamic, and malt) and production process (with and without aging in wood). Cluster analysis grouped the samples according to production ...

Shixiao San is a famous Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) formula that has been used for a long time for the treatment of gynecological diseases. In this paper, the active constituents in Shixiao San were characterized by using bioactivity evaluation followed by UPLC-QTOF and Markerlynx analysis. The analgesic activities of two extracts of Shixiao San were evaluated using the hot-plate test, a...

The termicidal activity and chemical components of wood vinegar from two sources biomass, nipah fruit shells (NFS) a mixture fiber (MSF), were evaluated against Coptotermes curvignathus. A no-choice test was carried out to evaluate their using filter paper samples treated with 2.5%, 5.0%, 7.5%, 10.0%, 12.5% NFS or MSF vinegar. Both vinegars exhibited antitermitic C. results show that increased ...
