Gerbera cut flowers is one of the important and popular cut flowers in the world that regardless of increasing production of this plant in Iran, the duration of its life is short due to rapid wilting petals and bending neck of flower. To increase vase life of gerbera cut flowers cv. ‘Alain Ducasse’, the essences of Eucalyptus and Rosa damascena, the combination of these two essences at a concen...

The blood preservative introduced by Loutit and Mollison (1) consisting essentially of a sodium citrate-dextrose mixture of relatively low pH, has proved superior to previously employed preserving fluids. The original formula and many subsequent modifications have a rather high volume. This produces considerable dilution of the plasma proteins. The purpose of this study, begun in June 1944, was...

In situ gelling systems based on temperature-dependent phase transition containing pheniramine and phenylephrine were developed using combination of Poloxamers, different cellulose polymers (HPMC) and xanthan gum. The formulations were tested for in vitro gelation, appearance, pH, drug content, in vitro drug release, mucoadhesive strength, preservative effi cacy and stability. In vitro release ...

Effects of 1% or 0.5% chitosan (CHI), 10% or 5% aqueous extract of ginger, onion and garlic (GOG) and their composite solutions (1% CHI+10% GOG, 0.5% CHI+5% GOG) on quality and shelf life of stewed-pork were evaluated. Microbiological (total bacterial count), chemical (pH, total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N), peroxide value (POV), 2-thiobarbituric acid (TBA)) and sensory characteristics were ...

Microbial growth did not occur when cucumbers were preserved without a thermal process by storage in solutions containing acetic acid, sodium benzoate, and calcium chloride to maintain tissue firmness. The concentrations of acetic acid and sodium benzoate required to ensure preservation were low enough so that stored cucumbers could be converted to the finished product without the need to wash ...

DESCRIPTION Tuberculin Purified Protein Derivative (Mantoux) TUBERSOL for intradermal (Mantoux) tuberculin testing is available in a stabilized solution bio-equivalent to 5 U.S. units (TU) PPD-S per test dose (0.1 mL). TUBERSOL is prepared by Aventis Pasteur Limited from a large Master Batch, Connaught Tuberculin (CT68) and is a cell-free purified protein fraction obtained from a human strain o...

5 genetically distinct subtypes of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors have been cloned from human and rat tissues [l, 2 , 31 and these have been dubbed ml, m2, m3, m4 and m5. Each individual subtype has been expressed in animal cells and their pharmacology determined (4). It appears that the pharmacological subtypes Ml, M2 and M3 correspond to the cloned subtypes ml, m2 and m3. However, m4 and ...
