A total of 4,318 pigs (337 × 1050, PIC; initially 14.3 ± 0.18 lb) were used in a 35-d growth trial to evaluate mycotoxin control strategies on nursery pig performance and blood measures. Pigs weaned at approximately 21 d age randomly allotted 1 5 dietary treatments. The randomized complete block design was blocking structure including sow farm origin, date entry into the facility, average pen B...

We determined whether the loop diuretic, piretanide, had a similar inhibitory action against sodium metabisulphite (MBS)-induced bronchoconstriction in asthmatic subjects as frusemide and, if so, its duration of action. In the first study, we compared the effect of inhaled placebo, piretanide (24 mg), or frusemide (40 mg), on the provocative concentration of MBS needed to cause a 20% fall in ba...

Spotted wing drosophila, Drosophila suzukii, is a globally invasive pest of soft-skinned fruit. Females oviposit into ripening fruit and larvae cause direct destruction of tissues. As many plant essential oils are permitted food additives, they may provide a safe means of protecting fruit from D. suzukii infestation in both conventional and organic production systems. Twelve oils and potassium ...

The subject of the study is corrosion processes non-alloy steel St 3 in water-oil mixtures to create effective compositions inhibitors for oil and refining industries. Corrosion aggressiveness commodity formation waters, waters present crude oil, due their high mineralization, presence various sulfur compounds, as well acidification carboxylic acids other acidic compounds. High activity causes ...

Catalase is well-known as an antioxidant dismutating H2O2 to O2 and H2O. However, catalases evolved when metabolism was largely sulfur-based, long before O2 and reactive oxygen species (ROS) became abundant, suggesting catalase metabolizes reactive sulfide species (RSS). Here we examine catalase metabolism of H2Sn, the sulfur analog of H2O2, hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and other sulfur-bearing molec...

Five maize hybrids were used in this research: two yellow and one white dent, sweet hybrid, popcorn. brine recipes with acetic acid examined, of which the addition potassium sorbate. The brines preservatives stable for 16 months without colour changes liquid corn cobs. pH ranged from 3.39 to 3.89. Canned ZP 366 611k sugar, sorbate metabisulfite marked as Number 5, showed best sensory characteri...

conclusions diclofenac-loaded nanoparticles based on properties of chitosan gelation could delay the release of drugs in the stomach and be further evaluated for the enteric delivery of diclofenac. objectives the aim of this study was to prepare and evaluate diclofenac-loaded chitosan nanoparticles based on the ionotropic gelation method. materials and methods chitosan (cs) nanoparticles contai...

Lysozyme and the reduction of metabisulfite addition to red wine were evaluated during a winemaking process and after malolactic fermentation (MLF). Treatment, with lysozyme, of the must from Tempranillo grapes and at the end of alcoholic fermentation (AF) caused the 100% implantation of the inoculated bacterial strain and shortened the duration of MLF by 7 days. At the end of the MLF, wines tr...
