Fateme Derakhshan-Panah was born in Hamedan (Iran) in 1987. She received her B.S. in Pure Chemistry (2009) and M.S. in Organic Chemistry (2011) from Bu-Ali Sina University, Iran. She is currently working towards her Ph.D. under the supervision of Professor M. A. Zolfigol. Her research interest is organic methodology especially the application of solid acids and ionic liquids in organic synthesis.

The low pH of naturally acidic aquatic environments is the result of soft-water with low buffering capacity and high concentrations of natural organic acids. Our current understanding of the influence of pH on aquatic organisms is largely limited to laboratory studies conducted under controlled conditions with little incorporation of these organic acids. Recent studies suggest natural organic a...

Although it is believed that organic aerosols play a key role in cloud nucleation and make an Ž . important contribution to the cloud condensation nuclei CCN population, their specific species Ž remain poorly characterized. This paper reviews the current knowledge of organic acids mainly . formic, acetic, pyruvic and oxalic acids . Without specification, organic acids in this paper refer to the...

The effect of organic acids as an alternative to antibiotics on the performance of broiler chickens was evaluated by meta-analysis, identifying and quantifying the main factors that influence results. A total of 51,960 broilers from 121 articles published between 1991 and 2016 were used. Interactions of additives [non-supplemented group (control), organic acids, and growth promoter antibiotics]...

This article proposes a simple and sensitive HPLC method with photo-diode array detection for the analysis of organic acids, monomeric polyphenols and furanic compounds in wine samples by direct injection. The chromatographic separation of 8 organic acids, 2 furans and 22 phenolic compounds was carried out with a buffered solution (pH 2.70) and acetonitrile as mobile phases and a difunctionally...

Approvals for the use of nontherapeutic antibiotics in animal feed are fast disappearing worldwide. The primary effect of antibiotics is antimicrobial; all of the digestibility and performance effects can by explained by their impact on the gastrointestinal microflora. Among the candidate replacements for antibiotics are organic acids, both individual acids and blends of several acids. Like ant...
