The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of tannic acid (TA) and pistachio by-product tannin extract (PBE) on N utilization and efficiency of microbial nitrogen synthesis (EMNS) in Saanen dairy goats. The experimental design was a change over design with three treatments and three periods using six mid lactation multiparous dairy goats. Tannic acid solution and PBE were added to fresh ...

Toughening an epoxy resin by bio-based modifiers without trade-offs in its modulus, mechanical strength, and other properties is still a big challenge. This paper presents an approach to modify epoxy resin with tannic acid (TA) as a bio-based feedstock. Carboxylic acid-modified tannic acid (TA–COOH) was first prepared through a simple esterification between TA and methylhexahydrophthalic anhydr...

Studies of taste receptor cells, chorda tympani (CT) neurons, and brainstem neurons show stimulus interactions in the form of inhibition or enhancement of the effectiveness of sucrose when mixed with acids or citrate salts, respectively. To investigate further the effects of acids and the trivalent citrate anion on sucrose responses in hamsters (Mesocricetus auratus), we recorded multifiber CT ...

background & aim: erosion has been defined as the irreversible loss of dental hard tissue by a chemical process not involving bacteria. dental erosion is an important cause of tooth tissue loss in both children and adults. acids of intrinsic and extrinsic origin (gastric juice and acidic foodstaffs, beverages) are thought to be the main etiologic factors for dental erosion. the reported inciden...

Wood, Chris M., C. Louise Milligan, and Patrick J. Walsh. Renal responses of trout to chronic respiratory and metabolic acidoses and metabolic alkalosis. Am. J. Physiol. 277 (Regulatory Integrative Comp. Physiol. 46): R482–R492, 1999.—Exposure to hyperoxia (500–600 torr) or low pH (4.5) for 72 h or NaHCO3 infusion for 48 h were used to create chronic respiratory (RA) or metabolic acidosis (MA) ...

Five strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.) cultivars were grown in Queensland, Australia to determine whether higher temperatures affect production. Transplants planted on 29 April and data collected growth, marketable yield, fruit weight the incidence of small less than 12 g until 28 October. Additional soluble solids content (SSC) titratable acidity (TA) from 16 September Minimum 2 °C 4 long...

This study evaluated the effects of four different gibberellin-pastes (GAP) on fruit quality and storability niitaka pear in 2014 2015 consecutive years. Pear stalks were treated with dongbu GA gold, nebaekeo, busa, hyeophwa-pastes at 35 37 days after full bloom, respectively. After harvest time, fruits stored 0°C for up to 180 days. In both years, weight was 6.2-21.3% higher GAP-treated than c...

Abstract The objective of this study was to assess the effects post-bloom (PB) or preharvest (PH) treatments ‘Braeburn’ apple trees with prohexadione-calcium (ProCa; 300 mg L-1), an inhibitor gibberellins biosynthesis, GA4+7 (300 L-1) on fruit quality at harvest and after storage (four months 0±0.5 oC, followed by five days shelf life). PB started 15 full bloom, one application every week six a...

Organic farming is an agricultural practice that raises plants especially vegetables and fruits without the use of synthetic pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers, or plant growth regulators. All over the world, the interest for organic farming has increased recently. Different greenhouse experiments were carried out in the northern Jordan Valley, to compare the effect of four fermented organic m...
