The present paper describes a flow-injection system coupled to a Micro-Guard cartridge and a miniaturized optical CCD detection system used to monitor the sugars (glucose/fructose) and ethanol content during alcoholic fermentation. The carrier stream (mobile phase) is composed of an aqueous sulfuric acid solution. The flow parameters were studied in order to obtain a good resolution and a wide ...

Dehydration of ethanol via adsorption on 3Å molecular sieves has recently been increasing in application in industry as an alternative to the conventional separation techniques for breaking the ethanol-water azeotrope. Over the past 20 years, Pressure-Vacuum Swing Adsorption (PSA) processes have gained increasing commercial acceptance as an energy-efficient separation technique. A general purpo...

1. Removal of acetaldehyde and ethanol has been studied in perfused rat livers. 2. The maximum rate of ethanol oxidation was 2mumol/min per g of liver, which was less than the calculated capacity of the ethanol-oxidizing system. The lactate/pyruvate ratio of the medium increased with the rate of ethanol removal. At low ethanol concentrations most of the acetaldehyde formed was oxidized further,...

The oxidation of ethanol by a reconstituted system containing NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase and cytochrome P-450 from phenobarbital-treated rats was characterized especially with regard to the role of oxygen radicals in the mechanism of ethanol oxidation. Results described in the preceding manuscript demonstrated that a strong oxidizing species with properties similar to that of the hydroxyl...

This study aimed to determine whether nerve regeneration by means of an artificial nerve conduit is promoted by ethanol-induced cervical sympathetic ganglion block (CSGB) in a canine model. This study involved two experiments-in part I, the authors examined the effect of CSGB by ethanol injection on long-term blood flow to the orofacial region; part II involved evaluation of the effect of CSGB ...

In order to screen a suitable resin for the preparative simultaneous separation and purification of syringin, eleutheroside E and isofraxidin from Acanthopanax senticosus, the adsorption and desorption properties of 17 widely used commercial macroporous resins were evaluated. According to our results, HPD100C, which adsorbs by the molecular tiers model, was the best macroporous resin, offering ...

The aromatic compounds of Artemisia annua were extracted by supercritical carbon dioxide. Supercritical carbon dioxide extraction of volatile flavor compounds from Artemisia annua was performed at pressure 150bar and temperature 40oC. The flow rate of CO2 was 20 g/min and the flow rate of ethanol as an entrainer was 5% of CO2 used. The extraction time was 1 h. The trapped sample by cold trap 1 ...

A stochastic formulation for the description of cooling-antisolvent mediated crystal growth processes based on the Fokker-Planck equation is discussed. Previous results are further extended to include not only the additional degree of freedom (temperature) in the approach, but also to formulate the model parameters dependencies with the input manipulated variables (antisolvent flow rate and tem...

The cause of the cycle of urinary alcohol levels (UALs) in rats fed ethanol continually at a fixed rate is unknown. Rats were fed ethanol intragastrically at a constant dose for 2 mo, and daily body temperatures and UALs were recorded. Body temperature cycled inversely to UAL, suggesting that the rate of metabolism could be mechanistically involved in the rate of ethanol elimination during the ...

conclusions instillation of ropivacaine 0.2% (30 ml) within tubeless pcnl surgery does not have a significant effect on postoperative pain relief and improvement of pef within 6 hours after the operation. results we found no difference in the mean pain severity score between the case and control groups 4 hours (p = 0.332) and 6 hours (p = 0.830) after the operation. the mean pef at baseline was...
