In order to advance in the understanding of CI in pepper fruits, the cell ultrastructure alterations induced by CI and the physiological and metabolic changes have been studied along with the proteomic study. When stored at low temperatures bell pepper (Capsicum annuum) fruits exhibited visual CI symptoms and important alterations within the cell ultrastructure, since peroxisomes and starch gra...

piroxicam, an anti-inflammatory drug, exhibits poor water solubility and flow properties, poor dissolution and poor wetting. consequently, the aim of this study was to improve the dissolution of piroxicam. microparticles containing piroxicam were produced by spray drying, using isopropyl alcohol and water in the ratio of 40:60 v/v as solvent system, and spray chilling technology by melting the ...

The objectives of this study were to 1) determine the conditions (temperature and pH) that exist in early postmortem muscle of normally chilled and delay chilled beef carcasses to provide a model for in vitro work and 2) determine the mechanism by which early postmortem temperature/pH conditions found in beef muscle influence the enzymes that regulate the aging process in vitro. For objective 1...

The mechanism of chilling resistance was investigated in 4-week-old plants of the chilling-sensitive cultivated tomato, Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. cv H722, and rooted cuttings of its chilling-resistant wild relative, L. hirsutum Humb. and Bonpl., which were chilled for 3 days at 2 degrees C with a 14-hour photoperiod and light intensity of 250 micromoles per square meter per second. This chi...

Preservation of ram semen has an impact on the exposure artificial conditions to spermatozoa which was followed by overproduction reactive oxygen species (ROS) and resulted in functional damages spermatozoa. This study aimed determine effect combination chicken, quail, duck egg yolks with green tea extract (GTE) quality Sapudi at 5°C storage. Ejaculates more than 70% motility were divided into ...

Alexis Carrel took the initial steps in the area of organ preservation by successfully preserving an artery for several days using chilled Locke’s solution, although this effort was largely overshadowed by his work in vascular surgery and organ transplantation. With the increased interest in clinical organ transplantation in the 1960s, the transplant community soon realized the need for preserv...
