AIMS In June, 2012 the state of Washington ended a wholesale and retail monopoly on liquor sales resulting in about five times as many stores selling liquor. Three-tier restrictions were also removed on liquor, while beer and wine availability did not increase. Substantial taxes at both the wholesale and retail levels were implemented and it was expected that prices would rise. METHODS To eva...

the effects of different sources of carbon, nitrogen and some of trace elements on cultivation of bacillus thuringiensis h14 were studied. glucose, glycerol, sodium acetate, (nh4)2so4, corn steep liquor, yeast extract, hydrolyzed casein, ca2+, mg2+ and mn2+ were the main parameters evaluated by plackett-burman statistical method. all elements have insignificant effect on germination while spore...

Chinese liquor is one of the world's best-known distilled spirits and is the largest spirit category by sales. The unique and traditional solid-state fermentation technology used to produce Chinese liquor has been in continuous use for several thousand years. The diverse and dynamic microbial community in a liquor starter is the main contributor to liquor brewing. However, little is known about...

Since the discovery of the stimulating effect of corn steep liquor on penicillin fermentation, various lactosesteep liquor media have been used in penicillin fermentations. The requirements for a good penicillin fermentation are fulfilled by the steep liquor-lactose media by virtue of its composition (Johnson, 1952). The production of penicillin on a chemically defined medium (Jarvis and Johnso...

This study was conducted in order to evaluate the quality characteristics of Gouda cheeses supplemented with fruit liquor (Prunusmume or Cornus officinalis). Fruit liquor was supplemented to Gouda cheeses during preparation. Changes in chemical composition, lactic acid bacterial population, pH, water-soluble nitrogen, sensory characteristics, and proteolysis were monitored in the prepared ripen...

BACKGROUND There is little evidence linking meconium stained liquor to poor perinatal outcome and clear amniotic fluid is frequently considered a reassuring sign during labour. OBJECTIVE To determine whether there are any differences in cardiotocography (CTG) tracings and perinatal outcomes in women with meconium stained compared with those with clear liquor in labour. DESIGN A prospective ...

Black liquor is the residue from the kraft paper pulp process and consists, mainly, of water, lignin, organic residues from cellulose and hemicelluloses and inorganic matter (mostly sodium, potassium and sulfur). Before any combustion or gasification, the dry content of the black liquor is increased, typically from 14-18% to 75-80%, to permit autogenous combustion and high conversion efficiency...

Luzhoulaojiao liquor is a type of Chinese liquor that dates back hundreds of years, but whose precise chemical composition remains unknown. This paper describes the screening of the liquor and the identification of its compounds using comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography/time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC × GC/TOF-MS). Samples were prepared by both liquid-liquid extraction and sol...

URINARY TRACT infections are now among the commonest bacterial infections. In England and Wales some 6,000 to 7,000 patients die every year from uraemia, about 3,000 of them between the ages of 5 and 55 years (Brit. med. J., 1967), and many of these die as the result of chronic urinary tract infection. Pregnant women are particularly prone to such infection both symptomatic and asymptomatic. Th...

Normal and acidotic rumen liquor samples from buffalo calves were subjected to various treatments and injected intraperitoneally to mice. The mortality rate was recorded up to 4B h of post injection. The toxic factors present in the acidotic rumen liquor were heat resistant and were found to be concentrated in the high centrifuged sediment. It was observed that the acidotic rumen liquor was abo...
