Agri-food companies face the challenge that clean labels and organic are not possible for some processed foods – such as shelf-stable ready meals with existing processing technologies. This study uses data collected via an online survey estimates consumers’ willingness to pay attributes organic, label, a new food technology in meal. Based on previous literature, one would expect consumers who p...

Abstract Zn-doped NaA molecular sieves were prepared by hydrothermal method using zinc nitrate, sodium metaaluminate, silica sol, etc. as raw materials. The samples characterized XRD, SEM, FT-IR, etc., 300W xenon lamp the light source. Rhodamine B (RhB) was used target degradant for photocatalytic experiments its activity. results showed that ion doping increased number of active sites on sieve...

An experiment was conducted to estimate relative bioavailability of Zn in 3 organic zinc sources with different chelation strength (Q(f)) compared with ZnSO(4). A total of 1,092, 1-d-old male broiler chicks were assigned randomly to 6 replicate cages (14 chicks per cage) for each of 13 treatments. Dietary treatments included the basal corn-soybean meal diet (27.82 mg of Zn/kg of DM) supplemente...

Weathering pro®les developed on organic carbon-rich black shales were studied to examine the loss and degradation of organic matter (OM) during weathering and its role in the geochemical carbon cycle. Analysis of weathered shales reveals between 60 and nearly 100% total organic carbon (TOC) loss in highly weathered samples relative to initial, unweathered TOC content. Pyrite loss coincides with...

Proteins are made from 19 aa and, curiously, one N-alkylamino acid ("imino acid"), proline (Pro). Pro is thought to be incorporated by the translation apparatus at the same rate as the 19 aa, even though the alkyl group in Pro resides directly on the nitrogen nucleophile involved in peptide bond formation. Here, by combining quench-flow kinetics and charging of tRNAs with cognate and noncognate...

The ATP-binding cassette multidrug resistance protein 1 MRP1 (ABCC1) mediates the cellular efflux of organic anions including conjugated metabolites, chemotherapeutic agents, and toxicants. We previously described a mutation in cytoplasmic loop 7 (CL7) of MRP1, Pro1150Ala, which reduced leukotriene C(4) (LTC(4)) transport but increased 17beta-estradiol 17beta-d-glucuronide (E(2)17betaG) and met...

abstract the feminist movement in the united states like other countries has tried to establish equality for women. from the first attempts to gain constitutional right for vote, up to the current radical demands, feminists have struggled to make changes in the u.s. party politics and obtain their rights within the parties. one of the important issues in which women played a key role in party p...
