The maple syrup industry generates substandard syrups and sugar sand as by-products, which are underused. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of the physicochemical composition these products to assess their potential for valorization. Using HPLC analysis, measured organic acid content well total polyphenol using Folin–Ciocalteu method. Additionally, evaluated in vitro digestib...

background and aims. the aim of this study was to establish a relationship between salivary glucose levels and candida carriage rate in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients and assess the growth characteristics and acid production of candida in glucose-supplemented saliva. materials and methods. a total of 90 subjects, 30 with controlled type 2 diabetes, 30 with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes and 30...

background: hyperglycemia is one of the important featurs of diabetes. in cell culture studies different methods are used to mimic the hyperglycemia condition. in this study we investigate response of human liver cancer cell line (hepg2) to high insulin, high glucose, and high insulin/ high glucose medium exposure. methods: hepg2 cells were settled in dmem+0.1% fbs or dmem free-serum medium wit...

To determine the acceptability of oral typhoid vaccine to Thai children, 434 volunteers, aged 4-15 years (average age = 8.2 years), were assigned to take three capsules of oral typhoid vaccine (one capsule every other day). Success was defined as the subjects' being able to swallow all three capsules. Information concerning the subjects' level of education, eating habits, and ability to take me...

Packaging of pharmaceuticals is a critical process. It is an economical means of providing protection, presentation, information, identiÞ cation, containment, administration, shelf-life and convenience for a product during carriage, storage, display and ultimate total use, paying due attention to any legal and environmental factors1. Plastics are a wide group of solid composite materials, which...

In the food industry, syrups containing a high concentration of sugar used for fruit preservation is abundantly discharged as a food processing waste and disposed by incineration, resulting in the rise of the manufacturing cost and environmental pollution. This study demonstrates how waste syrup can be utilized as carbon source for production of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and astaxanthin by the...

Although the activity interpretation of sucrose crystallization, already sueessfully applied to pure sucrose solutions and synthetic massesuites (11, does not require any mechanical or molecular model, it does imply (11d) an independence of any structural nature or transport behavior in the operating medium, it is therefore necessary to establish this suggested independence to warrant continued...

Recent concerns regarding antiepileptic drug (AED) availability in Zambia led us to conduct a study in the Lusaka and Southern Provinces to quantify the availability and cost of AEDs and assess determinants. Among 111 pharmacies, almost one-half did not carry AEDs (N = 54; 49.1%). Available AEDs were phenobarbitone (21; 18.9%), carbamazepine (27; 24.3%), valproic acid (4; 3.6%), and phenytoin (...

The taste of an antibiotic is often not taken into account by practitioners, although there is significant evidence to show palatability correlates strongly with adherence. Many parents will be familiar with the difficulties of convincing young children to take bitter, unfamiliar medicine. Certain drugs, for example flucloxacillin, are so unpalatable that they should not be prescribed as syrups...

Abstract The propagation methods of rosebay willow-herb were studied on the basis theoretical and experimental studies, optimal size feeding area one plant in a field was described established. efficiency cultivating these plants depending time sowing winter greenhouses planting scheme determined, scientific practical justification feasibility as raw material for processing industry North-Easte...
