Glycerol

their higher energy value. One gram of lipid yields 9.3 KCal of energy, while the same amount of carbohydrate or protein yields 4.5 Kcal. Triacylglycerols are major components of oils and fats: they are composed of three fatty acids esterified to a glycerol molecule. They are the predominant components…

Animals and treatment Male Wistar rats were purchased from National Institute of Nutrition, Hyderabad, India and the study was strictly done under the guidelines approved by the animal ethical Committee of CSIR-Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology, Delhi, India. They were maintained under standard conditions (12/12 hour light/dark cycle at 25±5ºC). They were divided into five groups having six rats per cage and are allowed to acclimatization for 1 week. Group 1(G1) - Healthy control…

Lignocellulosic-based biomass Unlike starch, lignocellulosic biomass is a plant-based material composed of lignin, cellulose, and hemicellulose. This class of biomass includes wood and fibrous materials from organic sources, agricultural wastes, organic municipal wastes, and organic industrial wastes [18]. Agricultural wastes contribute as the major lignocellulosic resources investigated for biofuel production. Among them are oil palm biomass [19,20], corn stalk [21], rice straw [22], wheat…

4.0 INTRODUCTION TO RESULT AND DISCUSSION This chapter covers the result and also the discussion on the experiment of lab scale soap production. All of the findings which are the analysis of pH value, saponification value and moisture content of the formulation soap bar is discussed thoroughly throughout the chapter. 4.1 RESULT AND DISCUSSION The purposes of the experiment were to identify the weights of materials to be used in the formulation of soap and also to produce the average quality…

2. Materials and methods 2.1. Chemicals Zingerone was obtained from Alfa Aesar, Heysham, UK. Cisplatin, Bradford reagent, trichloroacetic acid (TCA), thiobarbituric acid (TBA), reduced glutathione (GSH), glacial metaphosphoric acid (Gmpa), 5,5ˊ-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB), proteinase K and agarose were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich Co, MO, USA. All other chemicals and solvents used were of the highest purity grade available. 2.2. Animals Sixty Adult male albino rats (180-200g) were…

New ultraviolet (UV) curable prepolymer, 2–hydroxy–3–[p–(1–{2–hydroxy–3–(isopro– phenylcarbonyloxypropoxy) phenyl} methylcyclohexyl) phenoxy] propyl acrylate (BISCHDA) was synthesized by the reaction of p–[1–(p–hydroxyphenyl) methylcyclohexyl] phenol with methylcyclohexanone, epoxidation with epichlorohydrin followed by addition reaction with acrylic acid. All synthesized compounds were characterized by 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR and FT-IR spectroscopy. Several UV-curable formulated solutions were prepared…

The human body requires energy to fuel growth, development, and repair in order to sustain proper functioning and remain alive. For humans, this fuel source is food. For example, as Koletzko, Goulet, et. al. researched in infants, they found that infants born with gastroenterology diseases or disorders were unable to harvest energy from food they consumed and therefore suffered severe growth stunts and defects. The relationship between food and calories can now be established because food…

PROPIONIBACTERIUM ACNES Written by Ebru Erdogan Alper Buberci Helin Alagoz Abstract The purpose of this paper is to explain propionibacterium acne’s structural properties, to make its microbiological analysis, to mention where it can be found, especially on human body, its photosensitivity and to describe the diseases and some infections it can lead to under specific conditions. Introduction Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes) is a bacteria that grows deep inside of pores, which is…

The Impact of High-Fructose Corn Syrup on Health: Exorbitant Consumption Perhaps the most polarizing issue regarding high-fructose corn syrup is its impacts on human health. I believe that health is truly the greatest wealth and that it is in the best interests of an individual to carefully make decisions regarding what one should eat. Therefore, it is necessary for me to understand the underlying health risks associated with high-fructose corn syrup consumption. The consumption of…

IV. Discussion The Concentration Gradients is known as known as diffusion. They are spontaneous process because there is no energy input at the beginning (Reece et al., 2011). Each substance could diffuse to its own concentration gradient without affected by the concentration of other substances (Scott 2015).In the first experiment of the Concentration Gradients. The color of the clear water was expected to change into the color of the potassium permanganate dye, which was purple. Observation…
