plant essential oils are natural products extracted from plants and because of their antimicrobial properties can be used as natural additives in foods. they are also useful for decontamination of food-borne pathogens and can be a safe additive in foods. the antimicrobial activities of essential oils belonging to saturiea hortensis, thymus vulgaris, mentha polegium, cuminum cyminum, lavandula o...

conclusions the results of the present study show a favorable inhibitory effect of artemisias spicigera essential oil on fungal growth, especially aspergillus species. according to the results, antifungal components of artemisias spicigera in different forms are used to prevent fungal pollution. materials and methods two types of media dichloran 18% glycerol (dg18) agar and dichloran rosebengal...

1. A strain of neurovaccine virus was cultivated in a medium consisting of minced chick embryo suspended in Tyrode's solution. 2. The virus upon cultivation apparently lost none of its essential characteristics. 3. The culture virus can be preserved and stored for long periods of time. Furthermore, the preserved virus can be used to initiate fresh cultures.

Ingredients such as ascorbic acid used to preserve redness of the raw meat, and carnosine and ribose used for flavor improvement have been incorporated into minced meats to increase consumer acceptance. The objective of this study was to investigate the possible synergistic effect of ascorbic acid, carnosine, and ribose on the sensory and physico-chemical characteristics of minced bison meat. S...

Minced muscle grafts (MG) promote de novo muscle fiber regeneration and neuromuscular strength recovery in small and large animal models of volumetric muscle loss. The most noteworthy limitation of this approach is its reliance on a finite supply of donor tissue. To address this shortcoming, this study sought to evaluate micronized acellular urinary bladder matrix (UBM) as a scaffolding to prom...

In a previous publication it was shown that succinic acid is rapidly oxidized by homogenized suspensions of chick kidney (1). In view of the fact that succinic acid is an important intermediate in tissue oxidat.ions (2-4) it seemed desirable to study some of the properties of the succinoxidase system by means of the new technique. Quastel and Woolridge (5), using the methylene blue technique, s...

Yersinia enterocolitica is an important cause of acute gastrointestinal disease and post-infectious complications. In Germany, incidence of reported yersiniosis is relatively high compared with other countries of the European Union. Children aged <5 years are most frequently affected. The aim of our study was to identify risk factors for sporadic yersiniosis in Germany. A population-based case-...

BACKGROUND Volumetric muscle loss (VML) following extremity orthopaedic trauma or surgery results in chronic functional deficits and disability. A current translational approach to address the devastating functional limitations due to VML injury is the use of an autologous minced muscle graft (~1 mm3 pieces of muscle tissue) replacement into the injured defect area, although limitations related...

Rats were immunized ( 1 ) with Jensen rat sarcoma tissue; ( 2 ) with emulsions of normal rat spleen; ( 3 ) with normal rat blood. Sera from rats of these three series were tested against ( a ) cultures of Jensen rat sarcoma cells; ( b ) cultures of normal spleen cells; (c) cultures of mouse carcinoma 63; ( d ) cultures of cells of normal mouse spleen. Jensen Rat Sarcoma Tissue as Antigen: Two s...

Partial gastrectomy and intestinal resection significantly impaired glucose tolerance (p < 0.05) and significantly decreased the release of insulin by intravenous glucose (p < 0.05) or a meal of minced beef (p < 0.01). There was a significantly greater release of insulin one hour after oral glucose in the gastrectomy patients (p < 0.05).
