Six assays for protein in urine were compared for linearity, ease of standardization, precision, comparability of assay values, technical ease of assay, and current cost. The assays investigated were three dye-binding techniques, a recent turbidimetric technique, the trichloroacetic acid--biuret reaction, and a tannic acid protein precipitation reaction with ferric chloride. All assays suffered...

Perturbation of the intestinal microbiota by antibiotics predisposes the host to food-borne pathogens like Salmonella. The effects of antibiotic treatment on intestinal permeability during infection and the efficacy of dietary components to improve resistance to infection have not been studied. Therefore, we investigated the effect of clindamycin on intestinal barrier function in Salmonella-inf...

In this study, it was aimed to investigate the antioxidant and antibacterial capacity of rosehip plant grown in Samsun its surroundings. fruits were collected from 10 different regions around Samsun. order samples, ascorbic acid amount grams (g) acid, total tannin gram tannic flavonoid mg quercetin, phenolic substance gallic equivalent (GAE), protein g bovine serum albumin (BSA) /100 rosehips; ...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of tannic acid (TA) and pistachio by-product tannin extract (PBE) on N utilization and efficiency of microbial nitrogen synthesis (EMNS) in Saanen dairy goats. The experimental design was a change over design with three treatments and three periods using six mid lactation multiparous dairy goats. Tannic acid solution and PBE were added to fresh ...

In response to global economic duress and heightened consumer awareness of nutrition and health, sustainable and natural ingredients are in demand. Identification of alternative sources of nitrogen and amino acids, including taurine, may help meet dietary requirements while fostering sustainability and natural feeding approaches. Twenty plants, eighteen marine algae and five insect species were...

Quality changes of Eastern little tuna (Euthynnus affinis) slices treatedwith caffeic or tannic acid (0.2 g kg 1) and the control during 15 days of refrigerated storage in air or under modified atmospheric packaging (MAP: 60% CO2, 35% N2, 5% O2) were studied. Tannic acid exhibited a greater preventive effect on metmyoglobin (metMb) formation and lipid oxidation than did caffeic acid (P < 0.05)....

A new, facile, cost effective, and eco-friendly protocol is reported for the synthesis of 2,3-dihydroquinazoline-4-(1H)-ones exploring tannic acid as a novel, inexpensive, andbiodegradable catalyst. A variety of dihydroquinazolins were prepared from aromatic aldehydesand anthranilamide using catalytic amount of tannic acid under solvent free conditions.Operational simplicity, high yield, and hi...

spirulina platensis, a cyanobacterium of economic important was studied for the tolerance to cadmium. the bioassay studies showed the ec50 value to be 1.53 mg/g. the cyanobacterium was very sensitive to low metal concentration and the productivity was also reduced. the chlorophyll pigments reduced with decreasing the algal biomass. the algal survival rate showed a marked reduction in their surv...

Tannic acid is a glucoside (penta-m-digallolyl-glucose), which exhibits a wide variety of physiological functions. Around neutral pH, 0.4 mM tannic acid produced 84% inhibition of rat brush border sucrase activity, but 35-40% enzyme inhibition was observed in the rabbit intestine at 0.08 mM concentration. In the mice, 74-77% enzyme inhibition was observed at 0.05 mM concentration of tannic acid...

Rice straw hydrolysate was used as lignocellulose-based carbon source for Chlorella pyrenoidosa cultivation and the feasibility of in situ biodiesel production was investigated. 13.7 g/L sugar was obtained by enzymatic hydrolyzation of rice straw. Chlorella pyrenoidosa showed a rapid growth in the rice straw hydrolysate medium, the maximum biomass concentration of 2.83 g/L was obtained in only ...
