Caprine milk contains a large amount of different sialylated and neutral lactose-derived oligosaccharides compared to cow or sheep milk. In addition, its oligosaccharide profile is very similar to human milk, which suggests it has similar physiological activity. Thus, the caprine milk oligosaccharide fraction is a very promising food ingredient for human nutrition applications, especially for t...

This study illustrates the optimisation of the experimental conditions of three sequential steps for chondroitin sulphate (CS) recovery from three cartilaginous materials of Scyliorhinus canicula by-products. Optimum conditions of temperature and pH were first obtained for alcalase proteolysis of head cartilage (58 °C/pH 8.5/0.1% (v/w)/10 h of hydrolysis). Then, similar optimal conditions were ...

This paper deals with time-optimal operation of batch diafiltration processes in the presence of membrane fouling. Fouling causes a decrease in membrane area and, hence, an increase in processing time. In this work we study a time-optimal operation with several fouling models available in literature. Pontryagin’s minimum principle is applied to characterize the structure of the optimal operatio...

Furfural, found in the lignocellulosic prehydrolyzates at high concentration, is a strong inhibitor of growth and ethanol fermentation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Removal of furfural and concentration of monosaccharides were investigated by using two commercial nanofiltraton (NF) membranes with synthetic glucose-xylose-furfural solution as model. The effects of main operating parameters such a...

The clinical picture secondary to amanita phalloides, which began with gastrointestinal complaints, advanced to fulminant hepatic failure in two days. Emergency liver transplantation was decided for the case of a 48-year-old male patient, who at the same time had renal failure and acute pancreatitis. Bridge treatment with plasma diafiltration was applied until the liver transplantation, which w...

DESCRIPTION Tripedia , Diphtheria and Tetanus Toxoids and Acellular Pertussis Vaccine Adsorbed (DTaP), for intramuscular use, is a sterile preparation of diphtheria and tetanus toxoids adsorbed, with acellular pertussis vaccine in an isotonic sodium chloride solution containing thimerosal as a preservative and sodium phosphate to control pH. After shaking, the vaccine is a homogeneous white sus...
