This study was conducted to observe the association between antioxidant enzyme activity, free iron content and lipid oxidation of Korean native chicken (KNC) meat during refrigerated storage. Four lines of KNC (Yeonsan ogye, Hyunin black, Hoengseong yakdak and Hwangbong) were raised under similar conditions. A total of 16 roosters were randomly sampled and slaughtered at the age of 12 mon. The ...

Oxidation of cyclooctene was studied in presence aqueous hydrogen peroxide (30%, v/v) over nano iron oxide. The catalyst prepared by microemulsion method and characterized using various techniques including XRD, TEM and BET techniques for evaluating phase, structure and morphology and surface area. In this study, we investigated the effects of varying the catalyst content, reaction temperature,...

The soot oxidation activity of metallic iron nanoparticles was studied under real diesel engine conditions. Particulate matter (PM) was sampled at distinct temperatures, using fuels containing ferrocene. The results indicated an 80% reduction of accumulated PM using fuels doped with 50 ppm ferrocene at a temperature of 460 ◦C. Temperature-programmed catalytic oxidation tests indicated that PM o...

Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) has recently been shown to be oxidized by iron within the lysosomes of macrophages, and this is a novel potential mechanism for LDL oxidation in atherosclerosis. Our aim was to characterize the chemical and physical changes induced in LDL by iron at lysosomal pH and to investigate the effects of iron chelators and α-tocopherol on this process. LDL was oxidized by i...

The combination of microbial reduction and further microbial oxidation of iron was applied to the treatment of food-processing wastewater and recovery of ammonium. Fe2+ ions were formed by ironreducing bacteria under anaerobic conditions. Ammonium was recovered by co-precipitation with negatively charged iron hydroxides produced during oxidation of Fe2+ by iron-oxidizing bacteria under microaer...

An electrochemical study of hydroxide- and methoxide-ligated iron(III) tetraphenylporphyrins possessing ortho-phenyl substituents that block mu-oxo dimer formation has been carried out. Ligation by these strongly basic oxyanions promotes the formation of iron(IV)-oxo porphyrins upon one-electron oxidation. Further one-electron oxidation of the latter provides the iron(IV)-oxo porphyrin pi-catio...

In presented work authors analyzed the high-temperature oxidation process from the point of view of its influence on effects obtained during cast iron hot-dip zinc coating. Research concerned the influence of the high-temperature oxidation, as a preliminary stage previous to coating with zinc on the change of surface layer structure as well as subsurface layer of cast iron with flake, vermicula...

Oxidation of ferrous iron in acid solutions is an important reaction producing soluble ferric iron. The oxidizing property makes the ferric ion one of the most useful reagents in hydrometallurgy. The ferrous iron oxidation kinetics of Thiobacillus ferrooxidans growing in batch culture was examined. T. ferrooxidans oxidized ferrous iron at pH 1.5 in the presence of oxygen and utilized carbon dio...

Mechanisms of superoxide.O2--generating systems on the pro-oxidant effect of iron from various sources were studied. Reaction mixtures were prepared with distilled water, oil emulsion, or meat homogenates. Free ionic iron (ferrous and ferric), ferritin and hemoglobin (Hb) were used as iron sources, and KO2 and xanthine oxidase (XOD) systems were used to produce .O2-. Thiobarbituric acid reactiv...
