Plant metabolomic analysis has become an essential part of functional genomics and systems biology and requires effective extraction of both primary and secondary metabolites from plant cells. To establish an optimized extraction method for the NMR-based analysis, we used the seeds of mungbean (Vigna radiata cv. Elü no. 1) as a model and systematically investigated the dependence of the metabol...

equilibria of the reaction of molybdenum(vi) with l-aspartic acid (asp) and l- glutamic acid(glu) have been studied by spectrophotometric measurements in mixed solvent systems at an ionicstrength of 0.2 mol/dm3 sodium perchlorate, employed (15, 20, 25, 30± 0.1°c) at ph ranges of 3.2to 5.5 with a high ratio of ligand to metal. the stability constants of the complexes and theresulting free energy...

The macadamia is native to Australia and is now grown commercially around the world. Macadamia skin, known as waste, has been generated abundantly, but this ample source has had limited uses as a byproduct. The aim of this study was to develop optimal aqueous extraction conditions for the recovery of phenolic compounds and antioxidant properties from macadamia skin using Response Surface Method...

background: poly chlorinated biphenyls (pcbs) are a class of chlorinated organic chemicals that do not easily degrade in the environment. this study was conducted to determine the effect of microwave rays, hydrogen peroxide, dioxide titanium and ethanol solvent on the degradation of pcbs. methods: a 900w domestic mw oven with a fixed frequency of 2450 mhz was used to provide mw irradiation. ray...

In the Dissipative Particle Dynamics (DPD) simulation of suspension, the fluid (solvent) and colloidal particles are replaced by a set of DPD particles and therefore their relative sizes (as measured by their exclusion zones) can affect the maximal packing fraction of the colloidal particles. In this study, we investigate roles of the conservative, dissipative and random forces in this relative...

The aim of this study was to examine the effects solvent-to-solid ratio, particle size, extraction time, and temperature on Jatropha oil using three organic solvents, i.e., n-hexane, petroleum ether, ethanol. Soxhlet method used, parameters were varied in following ranges: 24–80°C, time 2 8 h, ratio 4 : 1 7 1, size 0.5–0.8 mm. After obtaining optimal conditions, a large volume prepared, purifie...

in this investigation, cuins2 ternary compound was synthesized by injection of thiourea solution into a hot copper-indium solution. the cucl, incl3 along with (sc (nh2)2) were used as a precursor dissolved in high boiling point solvent such as oleylamine (ch(ch2)17nh2) and oleic acid (ch(ch2)16cooh) as a coordination solvent and capping agent, respectively. the size, distribution and shape were...

cinnamon is the bark the cinnamomi cassia that exhibits many medical properties such as anti-cancer effect and anti-diabetic effect. moreover, because of its antioxidant activity; it can be used in food industries. many studies have already reported biological and chemical properties of the cinnamon extracted essential oil such as their antimicrobial, antifungal, antimosquito, free radical scav...

Eight male subjects were experimentally exposed to toluene, p-xylene, and a combination of toluene and p-xylene in order to study the influence of coexposure and exposure to different levels of each solvent on their uptake and elimination. The exposures were performed for four hours at exposure levels equivalent to or lower than the Swedish threshold limit value for toluene, 300 mg/m3 (3.2 mmol...

Recent extension of mean spherical approximation (MSA) for electrolyte solution has been employed to investigate the non-ideality in Born-free energy of solvation of a rigid, mono-positive ion in binary dipolar mixtures of associating (ethanol–water) and non-associating (dimethylsulfoxide– acetonitrile) solvents. In addition to the dipole moments, the solvent size ratio and ion size have been t...
