6-prenylnaringenin (6pn) is a chiral prenylflavonoid found most prevalently in hops ( humulus lupulus ) and present in hops and hop products. it is an isomer of the potent phytoestrogen, 8-prenylnaringenin. an enantiospecific method for quantitation 6pn by lc-esi-ms has been developed. baseline enantiomeric resolution of 6pn was attained on a chiralpak ® ad-rh column with an isocratic mobile ph...

hydrogel nanocomposites based on alginate polysaccharide were prepared by graft copolymerization of acrylamide and itaconic acid in the presence of carbon nanotube, using methylene bisacrylamide and ammonium persulfate as crosslinker and initiator, respectively. the synthesized samples were characterized by infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis and scanning electron microscopy. the ...

amino acid (aa) content of six meat and bone meal (mbm) samples was determined by ion-exchange chromatography. true aa digestibility of amino acids were determined of using precise sibbald's feeding method. metionin and lucien, with averages of 0.35 and 2.29 percent, had the lowest and highest values among essential aa of mbm samples. average content of individual aa, sum of essential and ...

The moderating role of salicylic acid (SA) and putrescine (PUS) as plant growth regulators (PGRs), on the growth parameters and phytochemical and qualitative characteristics of strawberry fruit 'Selva' under osmotic stress was investigated under soilless culture. The osmotic potential (salinity) of the nutrient solution containing different NaCl concentrations (0, 7.5, 15, 30 and 45 mM) and fol...

an experiment was conducted as a split plot based on complete randomized block design with three replications in the fall of 2010 at the farm of lorestan university, khorramabad, iran. four winter wheat cultivars (marvdasht, azar, shiraz and line m-79-7) as the main plot and levels of iron oxide nanoparticles (ion) along with control treatment were the subplot. iron fertilizer spraying was done...

Ultrasonic velocities in solution of tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB) in 10, 20 and 30 %w/w N, N– dimethylformamide (DMF)-water mixtures were measured at 303 K, 308 K and 313 K by using the pulse echo overlap method at a frequency of 3 MHz. The ultrasonic velocity, density, and viscosity were used to calculate the adiabatic compressibility, apparent molal compressibility, apparent molal volume...

salinity is one of the most brutal environmental stresses that hamper crop productivity worldwide approximately 10% of the total land surface is salt affected and about 10 million hectare of agricultural land is lost annually due to salinization and water logging. this study was conducted to determine the ion exchanges in halocnemum strobilaceum and halostachys caspica in saline conditions. the...
