The article is devoted to the study of destructibility of the annealed anode paste of different composition in the CO2 current. It is shown that the destructibility of CO2 current of petroleum coke is much less than that of pitch coke. The comparison of the qualitative characteristics of the anode paste on the basis of pitch coke and petroleum coke revealed the advantage of petroleum coke, due to its low sodium content. The average destructibility of the anode paste on the basis of different grades of cokes in the CO2 current is determined. The conducted semi-industrial tests were in good agreement with the laboratory studies.

Abstract A collaborative study was carried out to compare AOAC method 2.147-2.150 for determining sodium in fertilizers with the atomic absorption spectrophotometric (AAS) method. Twelve synthetic NPK samples, 6 pairs of blind duplicates (0.06-8.5% Na), were sent to 22 collaborators; a total of 13 sets of results were received and evaluated by the modified matched pairs technique. The AAS method showed better performance in samples with low sodium content and high potassium content. The AAS method has been adopted official first action for determining sodium in fertilizers.

AbstractObjectiveCanadians consume approximately twice the daily Adequate Intake of sodium. The present study examined the efficacy of four types of front-of-package (FOP) sodium labels at influencing consumers’ selection of products low v. high in sodium.DesignParticipants were randomly assigned to one of five experimental conditions: (i) control condition with no FOP label; (ii) basic numeric FOP label; (iii) numeric FOP label with ‘high’ and ‘low’ sodium content descriptors; (iv) detailed Traffic Light (TL) label with colour coding, content descriptors and numeric information; and (v) simple TL label with no numeric information. Participants were shown pairs of grocery products that varied in sodium content and told they could choose a free sample. Selection of the low-sodium v. the high-sodium product was the primary behavioural outcome, in addition to ratings of effectiveness, understanding, liking and believability.SettingWaterloo, Ontario, Canada.SubjectsAdults (n 430) aged ≥18 years, recruited from community settings.ResultsParticipants in the three FOP conditions with ‘high/low’ sodium content descriptors were significantly more likely to choose the lower-sodium product compared with the control group. The detailed TL label was ranked most effective at helping participants select low-sodium products, and was rated significantly higher than other formats in liking, understanding and believability. Product selection did not differ significantly across sociodemographic groups.ConclusionsFOP labels that include content descriptors may be more effective in helping consumers to select lower-sodium products. TL labels, which incorporate content descriptors and colour coding, should be considered for future FOP labelling initiatives.

The aim of this study was to assess the influence of sodium content on the microbiota on the surface of ready-to-eat (RTE) meat products purchased from the retail market in Canada. Products, including sliced and sausage-type deli meats, were analysed with culture-dependent and culture-independent methods. Bacteria were identified from 23 brands of products from different meat processors with claims of sodium content ranging from 390 to 1200 mg per 100 g of product. Out of 150 bacterial isolates, the most common were identified as Leuconostoc gelidum, Carnobacterium maltaromaticum, Brochothrix thermosphacta, and Leuconostoc gasicomitatum. Vacuum-packaged RTE deli sliced meat products had the largest population of bacteria. Leuconostocci were the most common isolates in this group of products, while carnobacteria were prevalent on products with moderate loads of bacteria. A higher incidence of carnobacteria and lower incidence of B. thermosphacta were detected on sodium-reduced products. Simpson’s and Shannon–Wiener indices showed that low sodium products (25%–50% less sodium) had an overall higher bacterial diversity. This was also observed when individual low sodium products were compared with their regular sodium counterpart.

The reuse of residue is an alternative that benefits the industries, adding value to the residue and still reducing the costs necessary with the treatment before its disposal, but it can also enrich human food. The malted barley residue (malt bagasse) is the main residue obtained in the manufacture of beer. However, it is often discarded in the environment incorrectly or used as feed. Its nutritional potential, its ease of obtaining and its low cost, are incentives for this ingredient to be used in food. The present study is aimed at carrying out the physical-chemical characterization of the malted barley residue, in order to assess its nutritional potential. Physical-chemical analysis showed that the bran from malted barley residue presented high content of fibre, proteins and minerals, mainly phosphorus, in addition to a significant amount of potassium, iron and calcium and low sodium content. Thus, the malted barley residue showed nutritional potential to be used as ingredient in food formulation, being a sustainable way of the food industry to take advantage of this residue. The malted barley residue can be an important ingredient in the production of breads, cakes and cookies, among other preparations. These would be low-cost foods, representing savings both for the beer sector, which needs to dispose off the residue, and for the food industry, in addition to contributing to the preservation of the environment. Thus, the present study shows that the reuse of malted barley residue is a sustainable practice with environmental, economic and nutritional importance.

Chronic hemorrhage in normal dogs resulted in increased urinary aldosterone-like activity and a reduction in renal sodium excretion which was approximately equivalent to the sodium content of the blood removed. Glomerular filtration rate either increased or did not change. A comparable increase in aldosterone-like activity was observed in urine from normal dogs fed a low sodium diet equivalent to the net sodium intake of dogs subjected to hemorrhage.

Twelve cases of chronic rheumatism have been treated on a raw vegetable diet for periods of two weeks, followed by a modified diet for further periods. No other method of treatment has been used during the period of observation. Pain has been relieved in ten cases and those cases in which there were muscular pain and stiffness with simple effusions into the joints have benefited most. Cinematograph records of the progress have been made. The immediate results obtained appear to be due to the low sodium content of the diet; other factors have not been excluded.
