The purpose of the work was to compare quality selected honey available on Polish market, including traditional (rape, lime and meadow marsh honey) non-traditional (lime, buckwheat, honeydew from coniferous honeydew). Parameters such as electrical conductivity, color, pH, acidity, water, hydroxymethylfurfural, total phenols content, ability deactivate ABTS cation radicals were determined. profi...

Kosakonia cowanii strain Ch1 was isolated from Mexican chili powder, and the genome sequenced. The 4,765,544 bp in length, with an average G + C content of 56.22%, a plasmid (pCh1) 128,063 52.50%. A phylogenetic analysis revealed close relation pathogenic strains; nevertheless, some virulence-related genes were absent, this genetic characteristic may explain fact that K. behaved as non-pathogen...

UV-A (ca. 365 nm wavelength, a.k.a. ‘black light’) photocatalysis has been investigated to comprehensively mitigate odor and selected air pollutants in the livestock environment. This study was conducted confirm performance of on swine farm. The objectives this research were (1) scale-up treatment, (2) evaluate mitigation odorous gases from slurry pit, (3) test different UV sources, (4) effect ...

A series of (2RS,3S)-3-amino-2-hydroxy-4-phenyl-butanoic acids (AHPA) derivatives (MA0-MA7) were synthesized. The in vitro aminopeptidase N (APN) enzyme and cell proliferation assay of target compounds were investigated. The results showed that most compounds displayed potent inhibitory activities against APN, compound MA0 showed even better inhibitory effects than bestatin on both enzyme activ...

Durio zibethinus L. (durian) belongs to the Malvaceae family. It is known as “King of Tropical Fruit” because its unique characteristics. The edible part durian, however, only about 33% fruit while non-edible parts such seed and peels (rinds) are considered waste responsible for environmental pollution. Thus, present study was carried out compare percentage yields volatile components from metha...

The uptake and intracellular metabolism of 4-(1-pyrene)butanoic acid (P4), 10-(1-pyrene)decanoic acid (P10) and 12-(1-pyrene)dodecanoic acid (P12) were investigated in cultured lymphoid cell lines from normal individuals and from a patient with multisystemic lipid storage myopathy (MLSM). The cellular uptake was shown to be dependent on the fatty-acid chain length, but no significant difference...
