This paper describes a method for the removal of acid-soluble lignin from acid-hydrolyzed hemicelluloses extracted from a mixture of northern US hardwood chips, by using Amberlite XAD-4 resin, which was shown to remove 100% of furan derivatives and 90% of acid-soluble lignin. Subsequent fermentation of the resin-treated hydrolyzates gave ethanol yields as high as 97% of theoretical and showed a...

1. An Amberlite XAD-2 column in a heated (37 degrees C) jacket was incorporated in between two banks of bioassay organs superfused with Krebs bicarbonate solution in cascade. The column removed prostaglandins, E1, E2 and F2alpha and also rabbit aorta contracting substance (RCS) and possibly slow reacting substance of anaphylaxis (SRS-A). 2. The column gave free passage to histamine in concentra...

A method is described for the automated analysis of urinary 11-deoxy-17-oxo steroids from hydrolyzed conjugate extracts. Steroid conjugates are extracted manually on an Amberlite XAD-2 column and hydrolyzed with f3-glucuronidase at 62#{176}C for 90 mm. After addition of alkali, the samples are transferred to the AutoAnalyzer where the steroids are extracted into isooctane and estimated colorime...

The illicit addition of phosphodiesterase type-5 (PDE-5) inhibitors like sildenafil (Viagra) in product offered as herbal medicine or dietary supplement for male erectile dysfunction has concerned authorities in recent times. In this paper, we proposed a sensitive surfactant-coated Amberlite XAD™ resin for sildenafil preconcentration method with spectrofluorimetric detection. Retention capacity...

Bioprocesses capable of producing large scales of resveratrol at nutraceutical grade are in demand. This study herein investigated treatment strategies to induce the production of resveratrol in Vitis vinifera L. cell suspension cultures. Among seven investigated elicitors, jasmonic acid (JA), salicylic acid, β-glucan (GLU), and chitosan enhanced the production of intracellular resveratrol many...

Abstract The novel core–shell type polymeric supports with accessible phosphorus groups were synthesised in the search for new reactive materials designed synthesis of functional resins. Amberlite XAD-4 adsorbent was impregnated tri octyl phosphine oxides (Cyanex 921), which then polymerized polymer carrier structure. syntheses evaluated by capturing FT-IR spectra, SEM micrographs, and analysin...
