The objective of the present work was to compare colorimetric and distillationÈtitration methods to determine the ammonia-nitrogen con3 centration in sheep and goat urine samples. Colorimetric methods used were based on the indophenol reaction, whereas titrimetric methods were based on the alkali distillation of ammonia from the urine and its titrimetric determination with a standard acid. Colo...

In a recent study (1 ) of diabetic patients with hemoglobins S and C (Hb S and Hb C), we showed a significant decrease in the proportion of glycosylated Hb, as measured by cation-exchange chromatography. We suggested ( I ) that these low values for glycosylated Hb might be caused by the inability of either Hb S or Hb C to undergo glycosylation or by their failure to be eluted from the column wi...

We review the definition of evolvability as it appears on the literature. In particular, the concept of software evolvability is compared with other system quality attributes, such as adaptability, maintainability and modifiability.

Colorimetric recognition and sensing of sulfide with high selectivity by virtue of glutathione-modified gold nanoparticle (GSH-AuNP) is presented. The assay is developed based on a specific anion-for-molecule ligand exchange reaction, through which sulfide replaces glutathione self-assembled on the AuNP. The unique feature of the GSH-AuNP probe makes it a novel colorimetric sensor for sulfide.

Pyrophosphate anions play key roles in various biological and chemical processes. During the last few years, many exciting results have emerged regarding the development of fluorescent and colorimetric sensors for this biologically important species. In this review, we will cover the fluorescent and colorimetric chemosensors developed for the detection of pyrophosphate (PPi) since 2010.

We describe a modified colorimetric method for determining procainamide in plasma by use of a diazotization and coupling reaction with N-(1-naphthyl)-ethylenediamine dihydrochloride (Marshall's reagent). The sensitivity of the assay is increased twofold over the originally reported colorimetric method, and the lower limit of detection for the assay of a 1.0-ml plasma sample has been decreased t...

A novel colorimetric method to quantify tannase activity of viable tannase-producing bacterial strains was developed through application of a visual reading method that was to detect the activity qualitatively. The novel method was sensitive enough to quantify the marginal tannase activity of strains that could not be otherwise measured by conventional spectrophotometric or colorimetric methods.

Colorimetric temperature sensors are prepared from photo-crosslinkable polymers by sequentially spin-coating and crosslinking alternating layers of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) and poly(para-methyl styrene). Layer thicknesses and copolymer chemistries are chosen to provide robust colorimetric temperature sensors that cover nearly the full visible spectrum.

The production of hard apple cider frequently involves considerations based on the balance between fermentable sugars and titratable acidity and/or pH. However, these are not only attributes that influence sensory properties cider. Various groups polyphenols tannins bitterness, astringency, mouthfeel, as well color product. In this study, 19 single variety ciders were evaluated using analytical...

Background: Aegle marmelos is an important ethnomedicinal plant that found commonly in India and other Asian countries. The peel of the fruit hard often discarded as waste. However, a few studies have shown even has antioxidant anti-inflammatory attributes. aim this research work was to perform comparative evaluation extracts with (whole fruit) without peel. Phytochemical investigations were ca...
