Ascorbic acid contribution to ORAC values in berry extracts: An evaluation by the ORAC-pyrogallol red methodology

An oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) method based on pyrogallol red bleaching (ORAC-PGR) was used to evaluate the scavenging activity of berry extracts (blackberry, blueberry, and raspberry). Among berry extracts, only raspberry protected pyrogallol red through a clear induction time, related exclusively to ascorbic acid. The lag time allowed an estimation of the ascorbic acid concentration and its contribution to the total ORAC value, estimating that 66% of the ORAC-PGR value of raspberry is related to ascorbic acid. Also, from the induction time, an ascorbic acid concentration of 36 mg per 100 g of fresh weight was estimated for raspberry samples. The ORAC-PGR procedure could be considered as a fast and specific methodology for an estimation of ascorbic acid concentrations in complex samples.

A study on the efficiency of a capped hardening elasto-plastic model for soft clays

It is well known that the deformation and stress-resistant characteristics of fine-grained soils, especially soft clays, are significantly influenced by the soil softness. It is therefore very important to employ a model which can accurately simulate the effects of this phenomenon. A constitutive model must be able to create a balance among stress paths, the number of parameters, the process of parameter determination, and finally, the simplicity of the computational calculations.The current study investigates the performance of a two-yield surface (cone and cap yield surface) model for soft soils. The efficiency of the cap yield surface has been studied as well. The model has been calibrated by employing the data derived from previous researches for Bangkok clay. The incorporated data have been obtained from the results of CD triaxial, CU triaxial, and oedometer tests. The proposed method for the model calibration can accurately predict the triaxial test results and oedometer test stress path simultaneously. This method for predicting the soil behavior is based on the main soil characteristics taken from common soil mechanics tests. It can be widely employed for engineering practices, especially when complicated soil behavior is encountered.

Short-Term Immune Responses of Gilthead Seabream (Sparus aurata) Juveniles against Photobacterium damselae subsp. piscicida

Photobacteriosis is a septicaemic bacterial disease affecting several marine species around the globe, resulting in significant economic losses. Although many studies have been performed related to the pathogen virulence and resistance factors, information regarding the host defence mechanisms activated once an infection takes place is still scarce. The present study was designed to understand innate immune responses of farmed juvenile gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata) after Photobacterium damselae subsp. piscicida (Phdp) infection. Therefore, two groups of seabream juveniles were intraperitoneally injected with 100 µL of PBS (placebo) or 100 µL of exponentially growing Phdp (1 × 10⁶ CFU/mL; infected). The blood, plasma, liver, and head kidney of six fish from each treatment were sampled immediately before infection and 3, 6, 9, 24 and 48 h after infection for the broad screening of fish immune and oxidative stress responses. Infected animals presented marked anaemia, neutrophilia and monocytosis, conditions that are correlated with an increased expression of genes related to inflammation and phagocytic activity. Similar studies with different fish species and bacteria can be useful for the definition of health biomarkers that might help fish farmers to prevent the occurrence of such diseases.

采用单滴法合成了n(Mg)/n(Al)=3的镁铝水滑石Mg3Al-LDH及其焙烧态产物Mg3Al-CLDH,并对刚果红溶液进行了吸附脱色试验。XRD分析结果说明合成的Mg3Al-LDH样品具有水滑石的典型结构,Mg3Al-CLDH在吸附刚果红阴离子后重新恢复为水滑石的层状结构。相同条件下Mg3Al-CLDH对刚果红的脱色率高于Mg3Al-LDH。对质量浓度为100mg/L的刚果红溶液,当Mg3Al-CLDH投加量为0.7g/L,pH值为5～10时,室温下反应40min,脱色率可达99%以上。Mg3Al-CLDH重复再生4次循环利用,刚果红脱色率仍在90%以上。表明Mg3Al-CLDH能够有效吸附溶液中的刚果红阴离子,可用于水体中阴离子染料的脱色处理。
