We present data showing that some foods preserved in lacquer-coated cans and the liquid in them may acquire estrogenic activity. Hormonal activity was measured using the E-screen bioassay. The biological activity of vegetables packed in cans was a result of plastic monomers used in manufacturing the containers. The plastic monomer bisphenol-A, identified by mass spectrometry, was found as a con...

The Gilt-bronze seated Buddha at Sinamsa temple in Dangin has an uneven the shape gilt, poor gloss and cracks were damaged. Such damage to gold-gilding layer may degrade corrosion resistance of statue, thereby promoting metal compound. statue was a restoration 1980s, it highly likely that modern materials such as cashew used adhesive for gold-gilding. In study, conservation management plan prop...

Automobiles, planes, ships, machinery, facades and the interior of buildings, furniture, household appliances, magazines, posters and data storage devices: The list of products covered with lacquers and paints is sheer endless. In 2012 about 2.6 million tons of lacquer, paint and printing ink were produced in Germany (VdL 2013). This shows how important these products are in our daily lives. Su...

The medicated lacquer preparations are generally used in fungal diseases. Use of this system avoids oral toxicity of anti fungal drugs. The main challenge associated with developing nail lacquers for the treatment of nail disorders is to deliver the active concentration to the site of infection. Penetration of topical antifungal through the nail plate requires a vehicle that is specially formul...

The main goal of the study is to produce eco-friendly furniture dyes by using bio-colorants and determine color stability these in outdoor conditions. In this regard, dye extracts obtained from red beet (Beta vulgaris), safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.), purple cabbage (Brassica oleracea), as a bio-colorant source, were applied MDF test panels mixing with water-based synthetic lacquer coating...

The effects of different temperature and time conditions during retorting of canned cat food on physicochemical characteristics and palatability were examined. For this purpose, lacquer cans containing an unprocessed loaf-type commercial cat food were heated in a pressurised retorting system at three specified temperature-time profiles (113°C/232 min, 120°C/103 min and 127°C/60 min) to equal a ...
