Techniques of immobilization of microbial- cells have been established by multifunctional reagents such as glutaraldehyed on a solid support. Immobilized cell reactor was designed to demonstrate stability of cross linking of whole cells for the production of organic acids. An eighty-six percent conversion of glucose was obtained for an eight hour retention time. The immobilized cell reacto...

Degradation of carmoful (HCFU) in the solid state was significantly accelerated by ƒÀcyclodextrin (ƒÀ-CyD) complexation owing to the hygroscopic nature of ƒÀ-CyD. The instability of HCFU in the solid complex was found to be markedly improved by the addition of some organic acids such as citric, L-( + )-tartaric and DL-malic acids, whereas DL-aspartic acid and neutral additives such as talc, lac...

A polymeric microfluidic device for solid-phase extraction (SPE)-based isolation of nucleic acids is demonstrated. The plastic chip can function as a disposable sample preparation system for different biological and diagnostic applications. The chip was fabricated in a cyclic polyolefin by hot-embossing with a master mold. The solid phase consisted of a porous monolithic polymer column impregna...

Low-salt solid-state fermentation soy sauce was prepared with defatted soy bean and wheat bran. Biochemical changes during the aging of the soy sauce mash were investigated. Results showed that after a 15-day aging period, the contents of total nitrogen, formol titration nitrogen, free amino acids, reducing sugar, total sugar and the brown color were increased. However, pH was decreased during ...

3. The ether-extractable acids were separated into solid and liquid acid fractions, converted into methyl esters and fractionally distilled. The light petroleum-insoluble compounds were separated from the fractions. Analyses of the acids are given (Table 2): these show that the increases after cholesterol feeding occur in the solid, liquid and light petroleum-insoluble fractions. 4. The methyl ...
