Spectroscopic studies of Parma ham during processing revealed a gradual transformation of muscle myoglobin, initiated by salting and continuing during ageing. Electron spin resonance spectra did, however, conclusively show that the pigment in dry-cured Parma ham at no stage is a nitrosyl complex of ferrous myoglobin as found in brine-cured ham and Spanish Serrano hams. Both near-infra red refle...

The presence of biogenic amines (BAs) in raw and processed seafood, associated with either time/temperature conditions or food technologies is discussed in the present paper from a safety and prevention point of view. In particular, storage temperature, handling practices, presence of microbial populations with decarboxylase activity and availability of free amino acids are considered the most ...

Brine shrimp are aquatic crustaceans belonging to a genus of Artemia. This organism is widely used for testing the toxicity of chemicals. In this study, brine shrimp were evaluated as an infection model organism to study bacterial virulence. Artemia nauplii were infected with various pathogenic bacteria, such as Vibrio vulnificus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Burkholderia vietnamiensis, Staphylococc...

The paper presents a method of hydrological and hydrophysical studies to observe the propagation cold wave in snow during preparation ski slopes by salting. Salting is used for competitions, especially when average daily air temperature approaching positive levels, day there melting cover, short-term decrease column its partial freezing. experiments were carried out summer 2021 2022 on Dzhanqua...

BACKGROUND Workers working close to salt milling plants may inhale salt particles floating in the air, leading to a rise in plasma sodium, which, in turn, may increase the blood pressure and the risk of hypertension. METHODS To test the above hypothesis, occupational health check-up camps were organized near salt manufacturing units and all workers were invited for a free health examination. ...

Abstract An improved phase-partitioning model is proposed for the prediction of mutual solubility in CO2-brine system containing Na+, K+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Cl-, and SO42-. The correlations are computationally efficient reliable, they primarily designed incorporation into a multiphase flow simulator geology- energy-related applications including CO2 sequestration, CO2-enhanced geothermal systems, oil ...

DNA from archival Papanicolaou stained and unstained cytological smears was successfully isolated using a simple, rapid and inexpensive salting-out procedure. The quality of DNA was controlled by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification of segments of the human P-globin, human P-actin and human papillomavirus LI genes. Only negligible differences in amplification efficiency were observed b...

[1] It is well known that brine drainage from growing sea ice has a controlling influence on its mechanical, electromagnetic, biological and transport properties, and hence upon the buoyancy forcing and ecology in the polar oceans. When the ice has exceeded a critical thickness the drainage process is dominated by brine channels: liquid conduits extending through the ice. We describe a theoreti...

1. As an introduction to the relations that obtain in biochemical systems containing several components, some ionic, some dipolar ionic, the solubility of cystine has been investigated in the presence of glycine and neutral salts. 2. Both glycine and sodium chloride increase cystine solubility at all concentrations. The interaction between cystine and ions is, however, diminished with increase ...
