The content of the stilbenes trans-resveratrol and piceid as well as the antioxidant activity of Macedonian red wines from the two main grape varieties Vranec and Merlot have been evaluated. Тhe effects of time of maceration, type of yeast and the level of sulphur dioxide applied on stilbene content and antioxidant activity have been studied. The most important factor in winemaking technology i...

Phenolic compounds, which naturally occur in beans, are known to have antioxidant activity, which may be partially lost during the processing of this legume. This study evaluated the effect of thermal processing and maceration on the phenolic acid and flavonoids profile and content and on the antioxidant activity of white beans. According to the results obtained from the 2,2-azino-bis (3-ethylb...

Schistosomiasis in pregnancy may cause low birth weight, prematurity and stillbirth of the offspring. The placenta of pregnant women might be involved when schistosome ova are trapped in placental tissue. Standard histopathological methods only allow the examination of a limited amount of placental tissue and are therefore not sufficiently sensitive. Thus, placental schistosomiasis remains unde...

Dear Editors, A 53-year-old diabetic man was referred to us for malodorous maceration on the plantar surface of his toe webs and metatarsal pads. The lesions initially appeared as mild erythemas 2months before this consultation, and then progressed to be erosions, oozing, exudation and maceration. The patient was treated with oral itraconazole 100mg daily and other topical antifungal creams for...

We have further modified the aldehyde/OsO 4 /dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO)/freeze cracking/DMSO/OsO 4 / DMSO maceration method, in order to render it more suitable to the analytical study of normal and pathological human bioptic samples. The new technique, which has been made easier and quicker, allows the visualization not only of cytoplasmic organelles but also of internal surfaces. The changes co...

the aim of this study was to extract phenolic compounds from olive leaves of cronaiky, roghani and mishen varieties by maceration and microwave-assisted extraction (mae) methods. our result revealed that effect of extraction method and variety was statistically significant (p<0.05) and mae-produced extracts have more total phenolics and antioxidant activity than traditional ones. the highest ph...

Cat’s claw oxindole alkaloids are prone to isomerization in aqueous solution. However, studies on their behavior in extraction processes are scarce. This paper addressed the issue by considering five commonly used extraction processes. Unlike dynamic maceration (DM) and ultrasound-assisted extraction, substantial isomerization was induced by static maceration, turbo-extraction and reflux extrac...

The manufacturing processes used determined the physicochemical properties of the three kinds of rice food, garaeduk, bagsulgi, and cooked rice. The initial rate of hydrolysis by porcine pancreatic alpha-amylase (PPA) was affected by the food form. The firmer structure of garaeduk was apparently responsible for the difficulty in maceration, resulting in less digestion than with easily digestibl...
