in this investigation, the effects of the precooking (cooking with saturated steam, microwave and oven) and sterilization (115, 120 and 130 ° c, with same sterilization value) on the amount of iron, zinc, copper, calcium, sodium, of silver carp was studied during canning process. the results of measuring elements in the raw and precooked fish were ranged from 3.05 to 4.19 for copper, 71.45 to 8...

Micropropagation of banana (Musa paradisiaca Linn.) var Grand naine was carried out with media sterilized by microwave radiation. Microwave oven was effectively used to sterilize the media for in vitro shoot-multiplication of banana against autoclave. Sterilization of media in microwave oven was successfully achieved at 900W/200 ml media (4 min). In vitro shoot-multiplication was higher in the ...

The potential shortage of allograft bone has led to the need to investigate other sources of bone for allografts. Some allograft bone donated from primary total hip arthroplasty recipients must be discarded or treated to become usable as a result of bacterial contamination. Femoral head allografts were contaminated with Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis. A domestic microwave oven was ...

Editor, Reference to Microwave oven in microbiology laboratory, JPMA., 1992:42:2. In response to the queries by a microbiologist regarding the published paper we feel it would be appropriate to clarifr the facts. 1. Sterilization in microwaves works on a different principle than the conventional autoclave and sterilizadon is independent of temperature, just like the principle of sterilization b...

In an attempt to elucidate the mechanism of sterilization via microwave irradiation, a comparison of irradiated and heated T4 and T7 coliphages was executed. Samples of T4 and T7 were subjected to 20 seconds of microwave irradiation using a 2,450 MHz microwave oven. Additionally, samples of T4 and T7 were heated to 83° C for 25 minutes. The effects of the different treatments were evaluated via...

Introduction: Recent increase of endocrine disorders may be correlated to the increased exposure to electromagnetic fields from various instruments. Radiation leakage from microwave oven may be harmful for users. Ladies have the highest levels of contact with microwave ovens. This study was carried out to evaluate the effect of radiation leakage from microwave oven on body weight, cortisol a...

background: the biological solids produced during wastewater treatment processes are called sludge. as sludge contains various sickening microorganisms such as pathogens, organic and inorganic substances and has adverse effects on human and environment, therefore it should be treated and processed entirely prior to disposal and then disposed in line to the environmental regulations. thermal tre...
