I N October 1997 four cows on a farm situated on the Halland Ridge in southern Sweden died after drinking water from a nearby stream. The water was contaminated with acrylamid which, it emerged, came from a nearby 10 kilometre railway tunnel construction site. The railway project had been plagued by trouble from the beginning. The Halland Ridge is a `horst', a heap of earthcrust formed by tecto...

Zusammenfassung. Ein System zur automatischen Farbanalyse von gebackenen oder frittierten Nahrungsmitteln wurde realisiert, mit dem der Farbcharakter der Prüfobjekte nach international definierten Standards (Agtron-Klassifizierung) untersucht werden kann. Die Probe wird nach dem flächenmäßigen Anteil der verschiedenen Braunfärbungen (Agtron-Klassen) bewertet. Die Trennung von Objektbereichen un...

Acrylamide is an organic compound that known to have neurotoxic influences. People high exposure its impacts because of extensive uses in the industrial fields and occurrence foods. This situation has induced scientific word identify naturel components may eliminate these effects. In this experimental study influence black carrot juice containing bioavailable flavonoids was researched on acryla...

The aim of this study was to determine the possibility of using gas chromatography to measurement of the acrylamide concentration in sewage sludge. Acrylamide, as a toxic substance, is not indifferent to human health, but it is used in the production of plastics, dyes, adhesives, cosmetics, mortar, as well as a coagulant for water treatment, wastewater or sewage sludge conditioning. Determinati...

According to the raft hypothesis, sphingolipid-cholesterol (CHOL) microdomains are involved in numerous cellular functions. Here, we have prepared liposomes to simulate the lipid composition of rafts/caveolae using phosphatidylchone, sphingomyelin (SPM)-CHOL in vitro. Experiments of both 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene and merocyanine-540 fluorescence showed that a phase transition from l(d) to l...
