background & aims of the study: sarcocystiosis is a zoonosis appeared in domestic animals caused by various species of sarcocystis. this protozoan disease has worldwide distribution among human and many species of animals. humans acquire infection by eating of raw and under cooked beef, pork or mincemeat containing schizonts of sarcocystis hominis and s. suihominis. the aim of present study is ...

The evaluation of the Kjeldahl digestion method was investigated by comparing measured values of total nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium using three salt and catalyst mixture in Standard Kjeldahl digestion method and Salicylic acid Modification method with certified values of plant material as well as comparison was made for determination of total nitrogen from steam distillation method verses...

A multi-syringe system for spectrophotometric determination of total phosphorus involving in-line digestion is proposed. Sample and digestion solution were dispensed and directed towards a digestion vessel located inside a domestic microwave oven (MWO) where sample digestion took place. Afterwards, the digested sample was merged with the necessary reagents for the colorimetric determination bas...

considering the ease of isolation and high expansion potential of pulp stem/progenitor cells isolated from wisdom and primary teeth they have been implicated as the most reliable autologous cell source in dental tissue engineering. meanwhile, different isolation methods have remarkable impacts on the expansion potential of adult stem cells. in enzymatic digestion method extracted teeth as denta...

A simple, efficient and cost effective method was developed and optimized for the digestion of fish tissue for the determination of Lead, Cadmium, Mercury, Antimony, Arsenic and Selenium by FAAS, CVAAS and HGAAS. Three of the more common classical open tubed acid digestion procedures were explored with the purpose of optimizing the variables and selecting the single most efficient, convenient a...

A simple, rapid and precise method that does not involve digestion has been described for determination of plant K. The method involves shaking of 0.5 g of finely ground plant materials with 40 ml of 0.5 N_ HC1 for 5 minutes. The extract is filtered and read in an Atomic absorption spectrophotometer for K. The method gives !< values that are in close agreement with those obtained with conventio...

There is increasing interest in understanding and controlling the digestion of emulsified lipids within the food and pharmaceutical industries. Emulsion-based delivery systems are being developed to encapsulate, protect, and release non-polar lipids, vitamins, nutraceuticals, and drugs. These delivery systems are also being used to control the stability and digestion of lipids within the human ...

The combinations of gel electrophoresis or LC and mass spectrometry are two popular approaches for large scale protein identification. However, the throughput of both approaches is limited by the speed of the protein digestion process. Present research into fast protein enzymatic digestion has been focused mainly on known proteins, and it is unclear whether these results can be extrapolated to ...
