Total pigment has been extracted from blackberries and its antioxidant activity against lipid peroxidation and scavenging capacities towards superoxide anion radicals, hydroxyl radicals and nitrite in different in vitro systems have been investigated. The total pigment extract from blackberries (TPEB) exhibited strong antioxidant activity against lipid peroxidation in a linoleic acid model syst...

background and objectives: sodium nitrite and potassium nitrite have been traditionally used for inhibition of clostridium botulinum and also as an agent to stabilize the color of meat products; however, usage of these additives at high levels could lead to toxicity and cancer originating from the formation of nitrosamines. nowadays, application of natural preservatives in order to reduce the n...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa, grown to steric saturation between the cellulose fibers of a filter paper, reduced nitrate or nitrite or both when the cell-filled paper was washed, transferred to phosphate buffer, nitrate, or nitrite or both, and glucose agar plates, and incubated under aerobiosis as resting cells. The biological nature of the reduction was ascertained by the use of nitrate and nitrite...

Microbial fuel cell (MFC) with nitrite as an electron acceptor in cathode provided a new technology for nitrogen removal and electricity production simultaneously. The influences of influent nitrite concentration and external resistance on the performance of denitrifying MFC were investigated. The optimal effectiveness were obtained with the maximum total nitrogen (TN) removal rate of 54.80 ± 0...

Denitrifying anaerobic methane oxidizing (DAMO) microorganisms were enriched from paddy field soils using continuous-flow and batch cultures fed with nitrate or nitrite as a sole electron acceptor. After several months of cultivation, the continuous-flow cultures using nitrite showed remarkable simultaneous methane oxidation and nitrite reduction and DAMO bacteria belonging to phylum NC10 were ...

Rivers can be contaminated with different pollutants such as trout farms. Evaluation of the effect of trout farm on water quality is important to give new permission for trout farm construction. In current work, the effect of constructed trout farms near the Deinachal River on some physicochemical properties namely chemical oxygen demand (COD), biological oxygen demand (BOD5), dissolved oxygen ...

Addition of nitrite-N at 1.5 mg l(-1) in tryptic soy broth (TSB) significantly (p < 0.05) decreased the growth rate of the bacterial pathogen Lactococcus garvieae and significantly (p < 0.05) reduced mortality compared to zero nitrite controls when injected into giant freshwater prawns Macrobrachium rosenbergii at 5 x 10(5) colony-forming units (CFU) per prawn. In other experiments, whereby pra...
