the objective of this study was to evaluate the storage life and quality of persimmon (diospyros kaki thunb.) fruit cv. ‘karaj’ stored at 0°c for 4 months after postharvest calcium chloride treatment. fruit weight loss, fruit firmness, total soluble solids, titratable acidity, total phenolic content, soluble tannin content, chilling injury, antioxidant activity, electrolyte leakage, and malondi...

Turfgrass nutrient uptake may be differentially affected by different salts. The objective of this study was to compare nutrient uptake in tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) as affected by carbonate, chloride, and sulfate under iso-osmotic, iso-Na+ strength conditions. 'Tar Heel II' and 'Wolfpack' cultivars were subjected to NaCl, Na2CO3, Na2SO4, CaCl2, NaCl+ CaCl2, Na2CO3+ CaCl2, and Na...

UNLABELLED The effects of calcium chloride (CaCl2 ) and calcium lactate on maintaining textural and sensory quality of fresh-cut "Kent" and "Tommy Atkins" mangos and determination of treatments preferred by consumers were investigated. Mango cubes (1.5 × 1.5 × 1.5 cm) were subjected to different CaCl2 and calcium lactate concentrations (0 M, 0.068 M, 0.136 M, 0.204 M) and dip times (0, 1, 2.5, ...

BACKGROUND Previous studies of compatibility of calcium chloride (CaCl2) and phosphates have not included particle counts in the range specified by the United States Pharmacopeia. Micro-flow imaging techniques have been shown to be comparable to light obscuration when determining particle count and size in pharmaceutical solutions. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to do compatibility t...

Cyclic-ADP-ribose (cADPR) has been reported to serve as a second messenger to mobilize intracellular Ca2+ independent of IP3 in a variety of mammalian cells. This cADPR-mediated Ca2+ signaling pathway importantly participates in the regulation of various cell functions. The present study determined the role of endogenous cADPR in mediating ryanodine-sensitive Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release (CICR) in...

The electrical conductivity and density of the low-melting CaCl2-NaCl-Al2O3 systems at 550°C~800°C ranges were respectively measured by the Continuously Varying Cell Constant Technique, ac-techniques and Archimedes method. The materials were applied as the electrolyte for the direct electrochemical reduction solid Al2O3 at 550°C ~800°C. The materials were composed of 71wt.%~87wt.%CaCl2 (corresp...

Glycosaminoglycans (GAG) of bovine cornea were sequentially extracted by 0.15 M NaCl and by 1 M CaCl2, pH 8. The amounts of hexosamine (HexN) and hexuronic acid (HexUA), specific hexoses (Hex), and protein were determined in the extracts. The ultrastructure of the corneal stroma after NaCl and NaCl/CaCl2 extraction was also studied. Approximately 70% of the Hex-HexN extractable by 0.15 M NaCl i...

The goal of this study was to determine whether calcium ion, (one of the electrolytes released after plant cell attack), may have a direct e€ect on fungal growth and chemistry of the fungal cell wall. B. cinerea was grown on Richard's solution containing di€erent amounts of CaCl2, and the cell walls were extracted from the mycelium after 7 days of growth. Mineral, neutral and aminosugar, protei...

This study evaluated the influence of the exposure of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) - with and without calcium chloride (CaCl2) -to phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) on apical microleakage. Sixty root segments were divided into 4 experimental groups (n=15). Apical cavities were filled with MTA with or without CaCl2, and the root canals dressed with a moistened cotton pellet or PBS: 1) MTA/cott...
