In the analysis of the purified wax (1) isolated from the human tubercle bacillus it was found that the principal ether-soluble constituent was a hydroxy acid of very high molecular weight which was designated by the term “unsaponifiable wax” (2). This substance has been the subject of further studies, the results of which are reported in this paper. The so called waxes of the human tubercle ba...

The mushroom Inonotus obliquus has been widely used as a folk medicine in Russia, Poland and most of the Baltic countries. In this study, water-soluble and alkali-soluble crude polysaccharides (IOW and IOA) were isolated from I. obliquus, and the carbohydrate-rich fractions IOW-1 and IOA-1 were obtained respectively after deproteination and depigmentation. Their contents, such as neutral carboh...

freezing injury is an important limiting factor in the production of pomegranate in iran.the aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of paclobutrazol (pbz) on cold hardiness of pomegranate (punica granatum l.) cv. ‘malas saveh’. different concentrations of pbz including 0 (control), 31, 62, 125 or 250 mg l–1 were sprayed on one-year-old plants in august and the electrolyte leakage o...

Abstract Hydrothermal methods are commonly applied in pretreatment of lignocellulose for conversion to biofuels and chemicals. This partially disassembles solubilizes hemicelluloses lignin, releasing sugars phenolic compounds, which potential inhibitors the subsequent enzymatic saccharification step. In this work, inhibitory effect soluble phenolics hydrothermal liquor on canonical Trichoderma ...

In a diurnal study, feedstuff and digesta polysaccharides, ruminal bacterial carbohydrate-fermenting groups, and selected ruminal fluid characteristics (ruminal pH, ammonia and volatile fatty acids) were measured in ruminal-cannulated Holstein steers fed high- or low-forage diets at maintenance level intake once daily. A procedure for the sequential extraction of soluble sugar, starch, pectin, ...

In recent years, it has become apparent that low-grade vascular inflammation plays a key role in all stages of the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Weight loss has been shown to improve blood inflammatory markers; however, it is unknown if weight-loss diets varying in macronutrient composition differentially affect inflammatory responses. The primary purpose of the present study was to compare ...

Genotype choosing and cutting stage are very significant to obtained better forage yield quality. However, researches about production from quinoa plant genotypes harvested at different stages not enough in Mediterranean conditions. This study was conducted determine the quality of five (Red head, Cherry vanilla, French Mint vanilla Titicaca) three (flowering, milky dough). The experiment laid ...
