in this paper, leaching of lead and cadmium was investigated from porcelain over glaze designs between different colors.  also the effect of microwave heating was considered on leaching of lead and cadmium.  dishes were selected with a decor with the dominant color of gray, red, yellow, blue, and dark blue. amounts of cadmium and lead which leached from the container by acetic acid and orange j...

Ethylene or thiourea can substitute for gibberellic acid but not for red light in breaking the secondary dormancy induced by extended dark storage of fully hydrated lettuce seeds (Lactuca sativa cv. Grand Rapids). After 10 days of storage, ethylene, thiourea, or gibberellic acid applied either separately or in any combination in conjunction with red light induced near maximal germination. When ...

A tandem Wittig approach has been employed for the synthesis of both (11S,9Z,12Z,15Z)- and (11R,9Z,12Z,15Z)-hydroxyoctadeca-9,12,15-trienoic acid (11-hydroxylinolenic acid, 11-HLA) from (R)-glyceraldehyde acetonide. From (11R)-HLA we have prepared the corresponding palmitic acid and stearic acid esters, mayolene-16 (1) and mayolene-18 (2), insect defensive compounds recently identified from Pie...

Acid fuchsin and phloxine B are commonly used to stain plant-parasitic nematodes in roots and egg masses on root surfaces, respectively. Both stains can be harmful to both the user and the environment and require costly waste disposal procedures. We developed safer methods to replace both stains using McCormick Schilling red food color. Eggs, juveniles, and adults of Meloidogyne incognita stain...

Purpose This study aims to demonstrate that orange-derived and lemon-derived systems can be used in continuous processes as efficient adsorbents the entrapment of some anionic cationic dyes textile dyeing wastewater effluents. Design/methodology/approach Physically chemically modified orange lemon mesocarps are natural for Basic Blue 3, Yellow 21, Red 18 Green 4 Acid 264, 49 337, all commonly i...

The consumption of EPA and DHA has been associated with reduced risk for cardiovascular disease morbidity and mortality. Mean intakes of EPA and DHA in the United States and elsewhere are below levels recommended by health authorities. The main non-marine source of dietary (n-3) fatty acids (α-linolenic acid) is poorly converted to EPA in humans. Stearidonic acid (SDA) is a non-marine fatty aci...

The volatile oils from red and black rice bran were obtained by hydrodistillation using diethyl ester and the components of that oil were analyzed by capillary GC-MS. The volatile components of essential oil from red and black rice bran were analyzed by GC and GC-MS. One hundred twenty-nine (129) of volatile compounds were identified in red and black rice bran. Myristic acid, nonanal, (E)-beta-...

When the picrosirius red technique was applied to cardiac muscle sections, intense yellow myocyte staining sometimes obscured thin collagenous septa. The picrosirius red technique was modified to include treatment of the sections in 0.2% (w/v) aqueous phosphomolybdic acid prior to staining. With 1-5 min treatment, cytoplasmic staining was eradicated; diminution of collagen staining occurred onl...
