Phenolphthalexon, a compound with iminodiacetic acid as a functional group, has been labelled with 113mIn to high chemical purity and its usefulness in studies of biliary excretion patency has been studied. Organ distribution of 113mIn-phenolphthalexon in mice was characterized by high liver uptake (50.8% of the administered dose after 5 min) and rapid clearance through the gall bladder. An animal model for studying obstruction of biliary excretion has been developed. Data on the kinetics of the radiopharmaceutical were obtained by collecting in-vivo data through an on-line computer.

In this study, Hydrolysate from angelwing clam (Pholas orientalis) was produced at 0, 1, 2 and 3 hrs and E/S ratio of0.5 and 3%using alcalase where the pH and temperature were kept constant at pH 8.5 and 60°C, respectively. The hydrolysates were analysed for antioxidant and functional properties such as solubility, emulsifying properties and water and oil holding capacity. Degree of hydrolysis (DH), yield, functional and antioxidant properties were influenced by the hydrolysis time and E/S ratio. Higher enzyme concentration (E/S 3%) and longer hydrolysis time increased the DH. Yield was higher at E/S 3% but reduced with hydrolysis time. Longer hydrolysis time produced more soluble hydrolysate and higher metal chelating activity but lower in emulsifying properties and DPPH activity. Higher enzyme concentration resulted in increase only in solubility and metal chelating activity. This study revealed that enzymatic hydrolysis using alcalase should be performed at shorter hydrolysis time using intermediate concentration of enzyme (E/S between 0.5 to 3%) in order to produce angelwing clam hydrolysate with collectively good functional and antioxidant properties.

Extracellular Polymer

Bacterial cellulose (BC) is an extracellular polymer produced by Komagateibacter xylinus, which has been shown to possess a multitude of properties, which makes it innately useful as a next-generation biopolymer. The structure of BC is comprised of glucose monomer units polymerised by cellulose synthase in β-1-4 glucan chains which form uniaxially orientated BC fibril bundles which measure 3–8 nm in diameter. BC is chemically identical to vegetal cellulose. However, when BC is compared with other natural or synthetic analogues, it shows a much higher performance in biomedical applications, potable treatment, nano-filters and functional applications. The main reason for this superiority is due to the high level of chemical purity, nano-fibrillar matrix and crystallinity. Upon using BC as a carrier or scaffold with other materials, unique and novel characteristics can be observed, which are all relatable to the features of BC. These properties, which include high tensile strength, high water holding capabilities and microfibrillar matrices, coupled with the overall physicochemical assets of bacterial cellulose makes it an ideal candidate for further scientific research into biopolymer development. This review thoroughly explores several areas in which BC is being investigated, ranging from biomedical applications to electronic applications, with a focus on the use as a next-generation wound dressing. The purpose of this review is to consolidate and discuss the most recent advancements in the applications of bacterial cellulose, primarily in biomedicine, but also in biotechnology.

Electrospun sub-microfiber membrane of cellulose acetate (CA), with excellent biodegradability, high specific surface area and high porosity, has attracted wide attention in various research fields. Even so, the stable continuous electrospinning of CA sub-micro fibers is affected by the solution parameters and CA acetylation degree dramatically, which still remains challenging. In the present work, electrospun CA sub-micro fibrous membranes have been prepared from four distinct solvent systems, respectively, to explore the proper solution parameters for membrane fabrication. After hydrolysis and electrospinning, the produced CA sub-micro fibrous membranes were analyzed in terms of fiber size distribution, hydrophilicity and porosity. Current analysis has shown that the degree of substitution of CA sub-micro fibers decreases with the increase in hydrolysis time, resulting in increased diameter irregularity, decreased average porosity and increased hydrophilicity of the sub-micro fibrous membrane.

Allium roots grown in C14-thymidine and H3-thymidine media were treated with N hydrochloric acid at 60°C. as in standard Feulgen hydrolysis. The retention of the radioactive thymidine in DNA as a function of hydrolysis time was studied autoradiographically. No significant loss of label was detected until hydrolysis was extended beyond the optimal time for Feulgen staining. The data are consistent with the assumption that there is no significant loss of DNA during normal Feulgen hydrolysis in the material used.

Sodium Borodeuteride

A synthesis of sodium borodeuteride on a molar scale has been developed. Trimethylamineborane was exchanged (6) with deuteriosulfuric acid in deuterium oxide to obtain trimethylamineborane-d3 of a high isotopic purity. Reaction of trimethylamineborane-d3 with sodium methoxide in diglyme at 120–150 °C yielded sodium borodeuteride, which, after purification, was obtained in a 40–50% overall yield. The conditions for obtaining material of a high isotopic and chemical purity were found to be rather stringent but, once worked out, were easily reproducible.Lithium borodeuteride and potassium borodeuteride were also prepared from trimethylamineborane-d3 and the corresponding methoxide salts. An alternative synthesis of lithium borodeuteride, involving the reaction between lithium deuteride and boron trifluoride etherate, was found to be more satisfactory, since it avoided the formation of stable 1:1 solvent complexes with lithium borodeuteride.The products that were obtained had a chemical purity of 97%, and contained 98–99 atom % deuterium. The deuterium analyses were performed by reducing a series of ketones containing no α hydrogens and analyzing the secondary alcohol by nuclear magnetic resonance for residual hydrogen on the alcohol carbon.

Lemna minor (L. minor), the common duckweed, contains a high protein substance and is considered as a good source of potential bioactive peptides. The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of enzymatic hydrolysis times (60–180 min) and enzyme concentrations (0.5–3.5%v/w) with Alcalase and Flavourzyme on the recovery, hydrolysis degree (DH), and antioxidant properties of peptides derived from defatted L. minor. The protein recovery, hydrolysis degree (DH), and antioxidant activities obtained by enzymatic were compared with the alkaline treatment method. The results showed that the protein recovery, DH values, and antioxidant activities were enhanced by increasing the enzyme concentration and hydrolysis time. Specifically, the recovery of protein and DH values reached the highest level after the enzymatic hydrolysis by Flavourzyme or Alcalase at 1.5 v/w enzyme for 120 min. At the same enzymatic hydrolysis condition, the samples hydrolyzed by Flavourzyme had a higher inhibitory effect on the ABTS•+ and DPPH•+ radical scavenging than those hydrolyzed by Alcalase and the alkaline treatment. Further study also showed that the DH values, amino acid contents, and antioxidant activities of the protein extracts were positively correlated. Thus, the extractions with Flavourzyme and Alcalse were a good method to produce a significant amount of amino acids and smaller peptides.

The Degree Of Crystallinity

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of chitin whisker (CW) to the crystallization of polylactide (PLA) nanocomposite films. CW which obtained from acidolysis reaction was compounded with PLA pellets into nanocomposite films by cast film extrusion. The morphology and crystallinity of CW were observed by TEM and XRD, illustrated that the dimension of whisker was affected by hydrolysis time. Increasing of hydrolysis time, the length of whisker was more regular with narrower distribution. Moreover, the crystallinity of whisker was obviously increased after acid hydrolysis. The nanocomposite film showed rough surface compared to pure PLA film due to some agglomeration of nanoparticles. However, CW and PLA were well-mixed with no phase separation. The introduction of 0.1 phr of CW decrease cold-crystallization temperature (Tcc) from about 121 °C to 118 °C and also increase the degree of crystallinity around 10%. There was no difference of thermal transition temperature between pure PLA and nanocomposite films with the addition of CW more than 0.1 phr which inspected by DSC. Despite the transition temperature express insignificantly different, the degree of crystallinity of nanocomposite was increase, indicating that chitin whisker would induce the crystallinity of PLA.
