DETECTION OF ESCHERICHIA COLI O157 IN RAW BEEF USING A CCD BASED LIGHT SCATTERING INSTRUMENT

A sensitive and easy-to-perform instrumentational method for the detection of Escherichia coli O157 in raw minced beef is described. The detection is based on a light scattering immunoassay and a charge-coupled device (CCD) direct readout spectrometer measuring the scattered light spectral signals at an optimized angle of 20° to the axis of transmitted light. Using latex particles coated with antibodies for E. coli O157, the method sensitivity has significantly improved comparing with the visual immunoassay assessment method when detecting the presence of this bacterium in spiked beef samples. The method is capable of detecting E. coli O157 at the level of 10³ cfu mL^-1 after 6 h of incubation of the spiked samples. This study has demonstrated a faster technique (within 8 h) for the detection of E. coli O157 in raw beef and a possible new application for the CCD based light scattering instrument.     

红细胞的前向光散射

本文从红细胞前向光散射的观点出发对红细胞的尺寸、红细胞的变形性研究以及红细胞容积、血红蛋白浓度等参数的测定作了系统的思考。提出在红细胞与周围悬浮介质折射车相差不大时,反常衍射比夫朗和费衍射更适合用于红细胞前向光散射的研究。利用两组不同角间隔的前向散射光来同时测量红细胞容积和血红蛋白浓度。同时其它一些标识红细胞的参数如平均红细胞容量（ＭＣＶ）、平均血红蛋白量（ＭＣＨ）等均可直接或间接由这两项参数导出。最后还将红细胞的光散射与Ｍｉｅ理论作了对比．

NEURAL METHODS OF CALIBRATION OF SENSORS FOR GAS MEASUREMENTS AND AROMA IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM

The article presents the neural methods of calibration of gas sensors for use in an artificial electronic nose for gas measurements. Different neural network solutions will be presented and compared. They include the classical multilayer perceptron, neuro-fuzzy networks and support vector machines. The other aspect illustrated in the article is the introductory preprocessing of the measured sensor signals in order to attain the highest possible efficiency of the gas measuring system. The theoretical considerations will be supported by the numerical experiments concerning the application of the electronic nose. The first practical aspect is concerned with the application of the developed system for classification problems and will be illustrated in the examples of the recognition of the biocomponents in the gasoline and the recognition of smells of cosmetic cream at the aging process. The second one belongs to the estimation problem and is concerned with the determination of the concentration of the particular gas components in the mixture of gases.

PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS

The results presented in the article may find practical application for calibration of the electronic nose in gas measurements. The electronic nose is widely used for smell recognition. It may find practical application in the petroleum, cosmetics or food industry for the assessment of the quality of their products. Military application is also of great interest.

HISTOLOGICAL STAINING OF LIPIDS FOR THE LIGHT AND ELECTRON MICROSCOPE

1. It is generally agreed that the blackening of osmium tetroxide by unsaturated lipid is too unpredictable to demonstrate lipid in tissues.
2. At neutral pH osmium tetroxide combines with the double bonds in the lipoproteins of cellular membranes (mitochondria, etc.) and the deep colour reaction of ethyl gallate with this osmium provides good staining of lipid for the light microscope.
3. Osmium taken up by tissue proteins at neutral pH is only a small fraction of that taken up by the lipid. (After acid fixatives osmium tetroxide is a general protein stain.)
4. The uptake of Sudan black B by partition from dilute solution is a specific test for lipid, but in normally fixed tissue most of the structural lipid is 'bound' and is not accessible to the dye.
5. Cautious treatment of fixed tissue with dilute sodium hypochlorite will unmask this lipid for viewing by the light microscope.
6. Direct fixation with neutral osmium tetroxide is an effective method for visualizing lipid for the electron microscope (as in the ethyl gallate method for the light microscope). But the poor penetration of osmium limits its use in this way.
7. After formol/glutaraldehyde fixation much of the lipid in the tissues is 'bound' and does not take up osmium. It can be unmasked by a saturated aqueous solution of thymol.
8. The unmasked lipid can then be rendered more osmiophil by partition in a solution of the highly unsaturated terpene farnesol, thus increasing the uptake of osmium in a renewed application.
9. Some of the novel observations on tissue lipids made by these methods are reviewed.     

COMPARISON OF TWO SIMPLE METHODS FOR THE MEASUREMENT OF DETECTION THRESHOLDS FOR BASIC, UMAMI AND METALLIC TASTES

Two simple methods were followed to determine detection thresholds for the taste of substances in aqueous solution. The methods applied were: a modification of the ascending method of limits and a method based on the use of scales. Detection thresholds were calculated for the four basic tastes (sweet, salty, acid, and bitterness), umami and metallic. Reference substances for each taste were sucrose, sodium chloride, citric acid, caffeine, monosodium glutamate and iron (II) sulfate heptahydrate and the results of the two methods were compared. We found that the threshold values calculated by method ASTM-679 was within the range of concentrations identified with the scales method.
