This study evaluated by an in vitro model the effect of beverages on dental enamel previously subjected to erosive challenge with hydrochloric acid. The factor under study was the type of beverage, in five levels: Sprite® Zero Low-calorie Soda Lime (positive control), Parmalat® ultra high temperature (UHT) milk, Ades® Original soymilk, Leão® Ice Tea Zero ready-to-drink low-calorie peach-flavore...

We prepared different photopolymerized sol-gel (PSG) columns by varying the amount of monomer (methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane), porogen (toluene) and catalyst (hydrochloric acid) in the reaction solution containing a photoinitiator (Irgacure 1800). The effects of these variations on the chromatographic behavior of the PSG columns were studied. All of the columns studied exhibited reversed-p...

Gold nanoparticles have been commonly made by a wet process from chloroauric acid or dry using vacuum evaporation to solid surfaces. Here, we shown method make gold particle electrodes in potassium chloride solution AC electrolysis and the following Turkevich method. The developed provides an environment-friendly produce particles without any strong acids such as aqua regia hydrochloric acid. W...

In the preceding papers (1, 2) the preparation and properties of sulfonium salts of methionine were described. The ease of formation of the methylsulfonium salt and the solubility properties of its phosphotungstate suggest utilization for the characterization of methionine in amino acid mixtures, since the phosphotungstates of other a-amino acids are readily soluble in cold aqueous alcohol whil...

Pectin extracted from the apple pomace was evaluated for the in vitro inhibition of pancreatic lipase (steapsin). Pectin was extracted from two different varieties of apples, i.e., Malus pumila and Spondias dulcis using two extractants, i.e., hydrochloric acid and citric acid (CA), separately at pH 2.5.

A series of new azo amino uracil dyes were synthesized by diazotization of nine aromatic amines using sodium nitrite and hydrochloric acid and subsequent coupling to 6-aminopyrimidine-2, 4(1H, 3H) – dione. The effects of solvents, substituents, acid and base on the visible absorption maxima of the dyes were also discussed.

Single crystalline microcubes of a new tantalum compound, tantalum oxychloride (TaO2.18Cl0.64), have been fabricated hydrothermally in a concentrated aqueous solution of hydrochloric acid and acetic acid. They contain a superstructure and exhibit remarkably enhanced photocatalytic activities for hydrogen production due to the improved light harvest and facilitated charge transport.

There is a mobile equilibrium between the native and denatured forms of trypsin which depends on the concentrations of acid, alkali, and alcohol and on the temperature. The heat of denaturation in 0.01 N hydrochloric acid calculated from the effect of temperature on the equilibrium constant is -67,600 calories per mole.

A pyridine containing amino acid based gelator forms gel in aqueous media in the presence of hydrochloric acid and the chloride ion is found to be very selective for gelation. The gelator is successfully applied for the detection and trapping of hydrogen chloride gas and this indicates its probable application for removing hazardous HCl gas from the environment.
