The ability of natural and synthetic hinokitiol, as well as a water soluble derivative (hinokitiol sodium salt), to protect wood against fungal attack was examined. Synthetic and natural hinokitiol provided similar protection. All three materials exhibited similar antifungal activity against Aspergillus niger and Penicillium citrinum on yellow poplar wafers at concentrations of 1 mg/mL or great...

Sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate is one of a group of salts of alkylbenzene sulfonates used in cosmetics as surfactant-cleansing agents. Sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate is soluble in water and partially soluble in alcohol, with dermal absorption dependent on pH. Dodecylbenzenesulfonate salts are not toxic in single-dose oral and dermal animal tests, and no systemic toxicities were observed in repe...

1. Rat gut perfusion studies in vivo at pH 4, 6 or 8 using aluminium chloride or equimolar aluminium chloride and sodium citrate showed that elevated plasma aluminium concentrations were associated with aluminium solubility in the perfusion. Elevated plasma aluminium levels and soluble aluminium in the perfusate occurred with perfusion of equimolar aluminium chloride and sodium citrate at all t...

Abstract Sapota is one of fruits with short period shelf life. One techniques to extend sapota’s life edible coating. Currently, hydrocolloid green grass jelly combining sodium alginate was used and evaluated determine its effect on the sapota fruit. Coating done using two different concentration jelly, 0.2% 0.4% no treatment as a control treatment. Coated were stored at room temperature every ...

Due to the increase in population and industrialization growth, most countries world depend on groundwater meet agriculture demands for food production. The water contamination due indiscriminate solid wastes has necessitated assessment of quality its suitability agricultural usage. Twenty four ten stream samples were randomly collected from downslope upslope side dumpsite all major physio-chem...

Deaggregating the alkyl sodium NaCH2SiMe3 with polydentate nitrogen ligands enables preparation and characterisation of new, hydrocarbon soluble chelated alkylsodium reagents. Equipped significantly enhanced metalating power over their organolithium counterparts, these systems can promote controlled sodiation weakly acidic benzylic C−H bonds from a series toluene derivatives under mild stoichio...

Chemical analysis revealed that water samples collected from Wadi El-Natrun Lakes were highly alkaline, of pH ranging from 8.4 –9.5 and of high levels of total soluble salts, chlorides, sodium and potassium. Water collected from El-Zugm Lake showed the highest levels of organic matter, sodium, calcium, magnesium and chlorides among the 8 lakes investigated. On the other hand, some parameters sh...

A particulate fraction of Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae cultures has been subjected to butanol extraction and treatment with surface-active agents in an attempt to solubilize a protective antigen. The particulate fraction was partitioned into the butanol layer but was not solubilized. Only sodium dodecyl sulfate solubilized the particles. The soluble protective activity was not sedimented by cen...
