AbstractIn this paper gelatin beads reinforced with natural hemp hurd have been produced as pH sensitive devices for the release of eugenol, as green pesticide. The composites beads, with a mean diameter of about 1 mm, were obtained by polymer droplet gelation in sunflower oil. Thermal properties were evaluated showing no noticeable difference after the introduction of hemp hurd. Barrier properties demonstrated an improvement of hydrophobization. The introduction of 5% w/w of hemp hurd led to a reduction of sorption coefficient of about 85% compared to unloaded gelatin beads. Besides, the diffusion coefficient decreased, introducing 5% w/w of hemp hurd, from 8.91 × 10−7 to 0.77 × 10−7 cm2/s. Swelling and dissolution phenomena of gelatin beads were studied as function of pH. The swelling of gelatin beads raised as pH increased up to 2.3 g/g, 9.1 g/g and 27.33 g/g at pH 3, 7 and 12, respectively. The dissolution rate changed from 0.034 at pH 3 to 0.077 h−1 at pH 12. Release kinetics of eugenol at different pH conditions were studied. The released eugenol after 24 h is 98%, 91%, 81 and 63% w/w (pH 3), 87%, 62%, 37 and 32 wt% (pH 7) and 81%, 68%, 60 and 52 wt% (pH 12) for unloaded gelatin beads and gelatin beads with 1%, 3 and 5% of hemp hurd, respectively. The eugenol release behavior was demonstrated to be highly sensitive to the pH release medium, which allows to tune such devices as green pesticide release systems in soils with different level of acidity/basicity.

Studies of the metabolism of rat liver RNA showed the existence of two species of rapidly labeled nuclear RNA: a 45 S preribosomal type of nucleolar origin, and a 6–50 S polydisperse RNA of chromosomal origin. The kinetics of labeling with orotic acid-14C and the nature of the latter RNA have been investigated. The following findings are reported, (1) This RNA is composed of at least four main classes of RNA having sedimentation coefficients of approximately 45, 35, 24, and 18 S. (2) Except for the 18 S class which seems to be an end product, the three other classes have a rapid turnover and do not appear to leave the nucleus. (3) Base analysis after 32P incorporation indicates that these four classes of RNA have a similar base composition with a G+C/A + U ratio in the range of 0.98–1.07, which resembles DNA more closely than ribosomal RNA. (4) The 6–50 S polydisperse RNA has a different metabolism than that of the 45 S preribosomal type and there is no precursor-to-product relationship between these two species of RNA.
