This study evaluated the ability of fennel extract to improve the quality of refrigerated minced silver carp over a period of 16 days. Minced silver carp were treated with fennel extract (0.5, 1 and 1.5% w/w), and beta-hydroxy toluene (BHT 200 ppm). The control and the treated fish samples were analyzed periodically (every 4 days) by chemical analysis (Peroxide value (PV), thiobarbituric acid (...

Trials were conducted with beef heifers at 4 sites to evaluate feedlot performance and carcass characteristics in response to implants containing 14 mg estradiol benzoate and 100 mg trenbolone acetate (EB/TBA; Synovex Choice, Zoetis LLC, New York, NY), 14 mg estradiol benzoate (EB), 100 mg trenbolone acetate (TBA), or a sham-implanted control (SC). The study design at each site was a randomized...

the present study evaluated the effect of packaging (air, vacuum) with or without addition of sodium acetate (2% w/v) on shelf-life extension of rainbow trout (oncorhynchus mykiss) under refrigeration, for a period of 18 days. four different treatments were tested: cap: control air pack; saap: sodium acetate treated aerobic packaging; vp: vacuum packaging in the absence of sodium acetate; and s...

in this study, the antioxidant activity and protective effects of purslane seed water-methanolic extract (pswme) in stabilizing soybean oil (sbo) were tested. dpph radical scavenging activity of pswme at different concentrations varied significantly (p< 0.05), ranging from 15.41% to 79.06%. total phenolic content in pswme was 121.09 mg gallic acid equivalent (gae) kg-1 dw. the protective effect...

The affinity of an 8-bromodeoxyguanosine- (8-BrdG-) substituted thrombin-binding aptamer (TBA-Br), which has the 1st and 10th guanosine residues replaced with 8-BrdG, was estimated using reflectometric interference spectroscopy (RIfS). When comparing TBA-Br with unmodified TBA (TBA-H), it was demonstrated that the modification effectively improved the affinity of TBA; dissociation constants (K(...

A case study is presented in which a tert-butanol (TBA)/water cosolvent system was found to be a useful means of producing freeze-dried tobramycin sulfate that readily forms a loose powder upon agitation in a specialized application in which a critical quality attribute is the ability to pour the sterile powder from the vial. Both formulation and processing variables are important in achieving ...
