Twenty USDA Standard beef inside rounds were purchased from the Excel Corp. in Plainview, TX to determine the effects of CaCl2 injection and degree of doneness on inside round roasts. Inside rounds were halved and each half served either as a control or was injected with CaCl2. Each half was cut into four sections with one used for retail case display and the other three subjected to cooking at...

Road salt deicers, especially NaCl and CaCl2, are increasingly applied to paved areas throughout the world. The goal of this study is to investigate the influence of high concentrations of these salts on wetland biogeochemistry. Sediment cores were collected in fall and spring from a freshwater wetland fringing an urban kettle lake (Asylum Lake, Kalamazoo, MI, USA), and incubated for 100 days i...

Due to the high perishability of figs, calcium stands out as an important nutrient for orchard management. This study aims pre-harvest applications chloride in fig orchards. The trees were sprayed with 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0% CaCl2, fruits thereafter stored 7, 14 21 d. variables analysed concentration leaves fruits, weight loss, fruit decay, pectinolytic enzyme activity, physical chemical att...

Cardiac mitochondrial matrix (m) free Ca(2+) ([Ca(2+)]m) increases primarily by Ca(2+) uptake through the Ca(2+) uniporter (CU). Ca(2+) uptake via the CU is attenuated by extra-matrix (e) Mg(2+) ([Mg(2+)]e). How [Ca(2+)]m is dynamically modulated by interacting physiological levels of [Ca(2+)]e and [Mg(2+)]e and how this interaction alters bioenergetics are not well understood. We postulated th...

The aim of this work was to analyse the response of Rosa rubiginosa to salinity induced by different concentrations of sodium chloride and calcium chloride (0, 25, 50, 100, 150 and 200 mM). Besides salt accumulation and pH changes, other parameters were investigated including photosynthetic activity, leaf water content, the dynamics of necrosis and chlorosis appearance and leaf drying. The stud...
