there are various methods for the analysis of potassium sorbate and sodium benzoate in food products, but a rapid and reliable method for identification of these preservatives in doogh (an iranian traditional dairy drink) is a procedure, in which high performance liquid chromatography (hplc) utilized and followed by uv diode array detection of the two preservatives. the aim of this case study w...

context food spoilage has been a common problem throughout history, and much of the spoilage is caused the activity of microorganisms or enzymatic reactions during the storage of food. thus, using chemical substances could prevent or delay food spoilage and this has led to the great success of these compounds in the treatment of human diseases. sodium benzoate is one of the synthetic additives ...

Sodium benzoate is food preservative that inhibits microbial growth. The effects of sodium benzoate preservative on micronucleus induction, chromosome break, and Ala40Thr superoxide dismutase gene mutation in lymphocytes were studied. Sodium benzoate concentrations of 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 mg/mL were treated in lymphocyte cell line for 24 and 48 hrs, respectively. Micronucleus test, standard c...

macrorhabdosis is a debilitating syndrome in budgerigars (melopsittacus undulatus) due to theascomycetous yeast macrorhabdus ornithogaster. in the present study, occurrences of acutemacrorhabdosis resulting in severe mortality in budgerigar fledglings and the effect of differenttreatment regimens for the control of the disease were investigated. the budgerigar (melopsittacusundulates) flock con...

BACKGROUND Clozapine is the last-line antipsychotic agent for refractory schizophrenia. To date, there is no convincing evidence for augmentation on clozapine. Activation of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors, including inhibition of D-amino acid oxidase that may metabolize D-amino acids, has been reported to be beneficial for patients receiving antipsychotics other than clozapine. This study aimed...
