This study was performed to measure the amount of ginsenoside content obtained from dried ginseng leaf powder treated with various enzymes, including Ultraflo L. Ultraflo L showed superior results to other enzymes and untreated ginseng leaf in catalyzing the liberation of biological compounds. The total ginsenoside content and metabolites showed the highest levels (406.1 μg/mg and 93.1 μg/mg, respectively) in ginseng leaf extract treated with Ultraflo L (UTGL). In particular, the content of ginsenoside F2 in UTGL was 8.5-fold greater compared to that found in the roots. UTGL showed significantly higher DPPH and ABTS antioxidant activities (2.77 mg/mL and 1.57 mg/mL of IC50 value, respectively) than untreated ginseng leaf. Ginseng leaf treated with Ultraflo L has advantages over untreated ginseng leaf in terms of cost and source availability. These data also suggest that the leaves and stems of ginseng may be used as food resources, functional food materials, and feedstuffs. 相似文献

Stability of phycocyanin extracted from Spirulina sp.: Influence of temperature,pH and preservatives
Temperature and pH play an important role in the stability of phycocyanin, a natural blue colorant. Systematic investigations showed the maximum stability of phycocyanin was in the pH range 5.5–6.0. Incubation at temperatures between 47 and 64 °C caused the concentration (CR) and half-life of phycocyanin in solution to decrease rapidly. The CR value remained at approximately 50% after incubating for 30 min at 59 °C. After heating at 60 °C for 15 min, the CR value of phycocyanin at pH 7.0 was maintained at around 62–70% when 20–40% glucose or sucrose was added, and the half-life increased from 19 min to 30–44 min. 2.5% sodium chloride was found to be an effective preservative for phycocyanin at pH 7.0 as a CR value of 76% was maintained and the half-life of 67 min was increased. 相似文献

Hot compressed liquid water was used to treat switchgrass in a method called hydrothermolysis to disrupt lignin, dissolve hemicellulose, and increase accessibility of cellulose to cellulase. Three temperatures (190, 200, and 210 °C) and hold times (10, 15, and 20 min) were tested. Switchgrass treated at 190 °C for 10 min had the greatest xylan recovery in the prehydrolyzate. Less than 0.65 g/L glucose were released into the prehydrolyzate for all pretreatment conditions, indicating most glucose was retained as cellulose in the solid substrate. 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) and furfural formation in the prehydrolyzate were found to be less than 1 g/L for all treatments. The highest concentration of ethanol, 16.8 g/L (72% of theoretical), was produced from switchgrass pretreated at 210 °C and 15 min using simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) at 45 °C with the thermotolerant yeast Kluyveromyces marxianus IMB4 and 15 FPU cellulase/g glucan. 相似文献

In southwestern China, Yunnan pines (Pinus yunnanensis) have been extensively cultivated on barren hills for reforestation and ecological engineering. The objective of this work is to study the influences of slope gradient on anchorage of root systems of P. yunnanensis. Pulling experiments were carried out at low (5–6°), moderate (25–26°) and high gradient (42–43°) by using selected 15-year-old P. yunnanensis. The results showed that the anchorage resistances induced by the slope gradient were significantly (P < 0.01) different from each other and followed in the order of high slope > moderate slope > low slope. Anchorage strength of upslope-grown roots increased with size and length of first-order lateral roots as well as the number of second-order lateral roots. Contributions of upslope-grown roots for preventing plants from overturning varied considerably between those from different slopes. The contribution of roots growing on upslope side on high slope to the anchorage of root system reached 50%, whereas those on moderate and low slopes were about 44% and 37%, respectively. It was concluded that the anchorage resistance was closely related to slope gradient and root distribution, while upslope-grown roots were positively related to anchorage resistance. 相似文献

In this study, lipolytic enzyme production by Thermus thermophilus HB27 at bioreactor scale has been investigated. Cultivation was performed in a 5-L stirred tank bioreactor in discontinuous mode, at an agitation speed of 200 rpm. Different variables affecting intra- and extra-cellular lipolytic enzyme production such as culture temperature and aeration rate have been analysed. The bacterium was able to grow within the temperature range tested (from 60 to 70 °C) with an optimum value of 70 °C for intra- and extra-cellular lipolytic enzyme production.On the other hand, various aeration levels (from 0 to 2.5 L/min) were employed. A continuous supply of air was necessary, but no significant improvement in biomass or enzyme production was detected when air flow rates were increased above 1 L/min. Total lipolytic enzyme production reached a maximum of 167 U/L after 3 days, and a relatively high concentration of extra-cellular activity was detected (40% of the total amount). Enzyme yield was around 158 U/g cells. Moreover, it is noteworthy that the lipolytic activity obtained operating at optimal conditions (70 °C and air flow of 1 L/min) was about five-fold higher than that attained in shake flask cultures 相似文献

It has been demonstrated that precooling with ice slurry ingestion enhances endurance exercise capacity in the heat. However, no studies have yet evaluated the optimal timing of ice slurry ingestion for precooling. This study aimed to investigate the effects of varying the timing of ice slurry ingestion for precooling on endurance exercise capacity in a warm environment. Ten active male participants completed 3 experimental cycling trials to exhaustion at 55% peak power output (PPO) after 15 min of warm-up at 30% PPO at 30 °C and 80% relative humidity. Three experimental conditions were set: no ice slurry ingestion (CON), pre-warm-up ice slurry ingestion (−1 °C; 7.5 g kg−1) (PRE), and post-warm-up ice slurry ingestion (POST). Rectal and mean skin temperatures at the beginning of exercise in the POST condition (37.1±0.2 °C, 33.8±0.9 °C, respectively) were lower than those in the CON (37.5±0.3 °C; P<0.001, 34.8±0.8 °C; P<0.01, respectively) and PRE (37.4±0.2 °C; P<0.01, 34.6±0.7 °C; P<0.01, respectively) conditions. These reductions increased heat storage capacity and resulted in improved exercise capacity in the POST condition (60.2±8.7 min) compared to that in the CON (52.0±11.9 min; effect size [ES]=0.78) and PRE (56.9±10.4 min; ES=0.34) conditions. Ice slurry ingestion after warm-up effectively reduced both rectal and skin temperatures and increased cycling time to exhaustion in a warm environment. Timing ice slurry ingestion to occur after warm-up may be effective for precooling in a warm environment. 相似文献

Maltase from Bacillus licheniformis KIBGE-IB4 was immobilized within calcium alginate beads using entrapment technique. Immobilized maltase showed maximum immobilization yield with 4% sodium alginate and 0.2 M calcium chloride within 90.0 min of curing time. Entrapment increases the enzyme–substrate reaction time and temperature from 5.0 to 10.0 min and 45 °C to 50 °C, respectively as compared to its free counterpart. However, pH optima remained same for maltose hydrolysis. Diffusional limitation of substrate (maltose) caused a declined in Vmax of immobilized enzyme from 8411.0 to 4919.0 U ml?1 min?1 whereas, Km apparently increased from 1.71 to 3.17 mM ml?1. Immobilization also increased the stability of free maltase against a broad temperature range and enzyme retained 45% and 32% activity at 55 °C and 60 °C, respectively after 90.0 min. Immobilized enzyme also exhibited recycling efficiency more than six cycles and retained 17% of its initial activity even after 6th cycles. Immobilized enzyme showed relatively better storage stability at 4 °C and 30 °C after 60.0 days as compared to free enzyme. 相似文献

Cryopreservation of ovarian tissue aims to assist young women who require treatments that may lead to sterility or infertility. Cryopreservation procedures should therefore be as simple and efficient as possible. This study investigates rapid cooling outcomes for whole sheep ovaries. Ovaries were perfused with VS4 via the ovarian artery, and cooled by quenching in liquid nitrogen in less than a minute (estimated cooling rate above 300 °C/min till the vitreous transition temperature). The ovaries were rewarmed in two stages: slow warming (12–16 °C/min from −196 to −133 °C) in liquid nitrogen vapour, followed by rapid thawing in a 45 °C water bath at about 200 °C/min. DSC measurements showed that under these cryopreservation conditions VS4 would vitrify, but that VS4 perfused ovarian cortex fragments did not vitrify, but formed ice (around 18.4%). Immediately following rewarming, a dye exclusion test indicated that 61.4 ± 2.2% of small follicles were viable while histological analysis showed that 48 ± 3.8% of the primordial follicles were normal. It remains to be clarified whether follicle survival rates will increase if conditions allowing complete tissue vitrification were used. 相似文献

We have successfully established the co-culture of ginseng (Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer) and echinacea [Echiancea purpurea (L.) Moench.] adventitious roots for the production secondary metabolites. Adventitious roots of ginseng and echinacea were
cultured in different proportions (5 g L−1; 4:1, 3:2 and 2:1 ginseng and echinacea, respectively) in 5-L capacity airlift bioreactors containing 4 L Murashige and Skoog
medium supplemented with 25 μM indole-3-butyric acid and 50 g sucrose L−1 and maintained at 25°C in the dark for 40 days. Results showed the negative effect of echinacea adventitious roots on the
growth of ginseng roots, however, by limiting the inoculum density of echinacea, it was possible to establish the co-cultures.
To enhance the accumulation of secondary metabolites, co-cultures were treated with 200 μM methyl jasmonate after 30 days
of culture initiation. Methyl jasmonate elicitation promoted the accumulation of ginsenosides in the co-cultures. It was possible
to produce ginsenosides and caffeic acid derivatives in higher amounts by establishing co-cultures with higher inoculum proportion
of ginseng to echinacea (4:1 and 3:2) followed by elicitation treatment. This work demonstrates the effectiveness of interspecies
adventitious root co-cultures for the production of plant secondary metabolites. 相似文献

This work studied the hydrolysis of lactose using β-galactosidase from Aspergillus oryzae immobilized with a combination of adsorption and glutaraldehyde cross-linking onto the ion exchange resin Duolite A568 as a carrier. A central composite design (CCD) was used to study the effects of lactose concentration and feed flow rate on the average hydrolysis reaction rate and lactose conversion in a fixed bed reactor operating continuously with an upflow at a temperature of 35 ± 1 °C. The optimal conditions for the average hydrolysis reaction rate and the lactose conversion included a lactose concentration of 50 g/L and a feed flow rate of 6 mL/min. The average reaction rate and conversion reached 2074 U and 65%, respectively. The immobilized enzyme activity was maintained during the 30 days of operation in a fixed bed reactor with a 0.3 mL/min feed flow rate of a 50 g/L lactose solution at room temperature. Feed flows ranging from 0.6 to 12 mL/min were used to determine the distribution of residence times and the kinetics of the fixed bed reactor. A non-ideal flow pattern with the formation of a bypass flow in the fixed bed reactor was identified. The conditions used for the kinetics study included a lactose solution concentration of 50 g/L at pH 4.5 and a temperature of 35 ± 1 °C. Kinetic models using a PFR and axial dispersion methods were used to describe the lactose hydrolysis in the fixed bed reactor, thus accounting for the competitive inhibition by galactose. To increase the lactose conversion, experiments were performed for two fixed bed reactors in series, operating in continuous duty with upflow, with the optimal conditions determined using the CCD for a fixed bed reactor. The total conversion for the two reactors in series was 82%. 相似文献

We quantified the thermal inhibitory effect of 71 °C (recommended for cooking ground meats), and re-heating at 85 °C, on food- and food-animal-derived Clostridium difficile spores. All C. difficile strains tested (n = 20) survived 71 °C for 2 h, but 90% died within 10 min when re-heated at 85 °C. Current cooking recommendations would need revision to include C. difficile. 相似文献

Bovine liver catalase was covalently immobilized onto Eupergit C. Optimum conditions of immobilization: pH, buffer concentration, temperature, coupling time and initial catalase amount per gram of carrier were determined as 7.5, 1.0 M, 25 °C, 24 h and 4.0 mg/g, respectively. Vmax and Km were determined as 1.4(±0.2) × 105 U/mg protein and 28.6 ± 3.6 mM, respectively, for free catalase, and as 3.7(±0.4) × 103 U/mg protein and 95.9 ± 0.6 mM, respectively, for immobilized catalase. The thermal stability of the immobilized catalase in terms of half-life time (29.1 h) was comparably higher than that of the free catalase (9.0 h) at 40 °C. Comparison of storage stabilities showed that the free catalase completely lost its activity at the end of 11 days both at room temperature and 5 °C. However, immobilized catalase retained 68% of its initial activity when stored at room temperature and 79% of its initial activity when stored at 5 °C at the end of 28 days. The highest reuse number of immobilized catalase was 22 cycles of batch operation when 40 mg of immobilized catalase loaded into the reactor retaining about 50% of its original activity. In the plug flow type reactor, the longest operation time was found as 82 min at a substrate flow rate of 2.3 mL/min when the remaining activity of 40 mg immobilized catalase was about 50% of its original activity. The resulting immobilized catalase onto Eupergit C has good reusability, thermal stability and long-term storage stability. 相似文献

In this paper, glutamate dehydrogenase (Gldh) is reported to efficiently display on Escherichia coli cell surface by using N-terminal region of ice the nucleation protein as an anchoring motif. The presence of Gldh was confirmed by SDS-PAGE and enzyme activity assay. Gldh was detected mainly in the outer membrane fraction, suggesting that the Gldh was displayed on the bacterial cell surface. The optimal temperature and pH for the bacteria cell-surface displayed Gldh (bacteria-Gldh) were 70 °C and 9.0, respectively. Additionally, the fusion protein retained almost 100% of its initial enzymatic activity after 1 month incubation at 4 °C. Transition metal ions could inhibit the enzyme activity to different extents, while common anions had little adverse effect on enzyme activity. Importantly, the displayed Gldh is most specific to l-glutamate reported so far. The bacterial Gldh was enabled to catalyze oxidization of l-glutamate with NADP+ as cofactor, and the resultant NADPH can be detected spectrometrically at 340 nm. The bacterial-Gldh based l-glutamate assay was established, where the absorbance at 340 nm increased linearly with the increasing l-glutamate concentration within the range of 10 − 400 μM. Further, the proposed approach was successfully applied to measure l-glutamate in real samples. 相似文献

Effects of conventional heating (CH) and microwave (MW) on the structure and activity of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) in buffer solution were studied. CH incubation between 30 and 45 °C increased activity of HRP, reaching 170% of residual activity (RA) after 4–6 h at 45 °C. CH treatment at 50 and 60 °C caused HRP inactivation: RA was 5.7 and 16.7% after 12 h, respectively. Secondary and tertiary HRP structural changes were analyzed by circular dichroism (CD) and intrinsic fluorescence emission, respectively. Under CH, activation of the enzyme was attributed to conformational changes in secondary and tertiary structures. MW treatment had significant effects on the residual activity of HRP. MW treatment at 45 °C/30 W followed by CH treatment 45 °C regenerated the enzyme activity. The greatest loss in activity occurred at 60 °C/60 W/30 min (RA 16.9%); without recovery of the original activity. The inactivation of MW-treated HRP was related to the loss of tertiary structure, indicating changes around the tryptophan environment. 相似文献

The thermoregulatory behavior of the giant keyhole limpet Megathura crenulata was determined in a horizontal thermal gradient during the day at 18.9 °C and 18.3 °C for the night. The final preferendum determined for giant keyhole limpets was of 18.6±1.2 °C.Limpets' displacement velocity was 10.0±3.9 cm h−1 during the light phase and 8.4±1.6 cm h−1 during the dark phase. The thermotolerance (measured as CTMax at 50%) was determined in a keyhole limpet in three acclimation temperatures 17, 20, and 23 °C. Limpets were subjected to water increasing temperatures at a rate of 1 °C every 30 min, until they detached from the substrate. The critical thermal maximum at 50% was 27.2, 27.9 and 28.3 °C respectively. 相似文献

A simple and highly sensitive high-performance liquid chromatography procedure was developed for the determination of carnosine in urine. Carnosine was derivatized with 4-(5,6-dimethoxy-2-phthalimidinyl)-2-methoxyphenylsulfonyl chloride at 70 °C for 15 min in borate buffer (20 mmol l?1, pH 9.0) to produce fluorescent sulfonamides. After hydrolysis of the reaction mixture with formic acid at 100 °C for 15 min, the fluorescent derivative of carnosine was separated on a reversed-phase column with a linear gradient elution using solvents of (A) acetate buffer (0.1 mmol l?1, pH 7.0) and (B) acetonitrile at a flow-rate of 1.0 ml/min and was detected at excitation and emission wavelengths of 318 and 400 nm, respectively. The detection limit of carnosine was 4 fmol at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3. The within-day and day-to-day relative standard deviations were 2.7–4.6% and 0.4–5.2%, respectively. The concentration of carnosine in normal human urine was found to be 4.6–125 nmol (mg creatinine)?1 (mean ± SD: 21.6 ± 26.6 nmol (mg creatinine)?1, n = 20). 相似文献

Five sources of phytases were used to study their biochemical characteristics. Phytase E was from an original Escherichia coli (E. coli), phytase PI and PG from the transformed Pichia pastoris (P. pastoris) with phytase gene of E. coli, phytase B and R from Aspergillus niger (A. niger). The results showed that the relative phytase activities had no significant changes when temperature was below 60 °C (P>0.05), and then decreased significantly with temperature increasing (P<0.01). The fungal phytase with the phytase gene from A. niger had the higher thermostability than the bacterial phytase with the phytase gene from E. coli; i.e. at 70 °C, 27–58% of phytase activity (compared with 30 °C) was retained for the bacterial phytase, and 73–96% for the fungal phytase; at 90 °C, 20–47% was retained for the bacterial phytase, and 41–52% for the fungal phytase, especially for the most thermostable phytase R (P<0.01). The optimum pH ranges were 3.0–4.5 for the bacterial phytases and 5.0–5.5 for the fungal phytases (P<0.01). When pH levels were 1, 7 and 8, only 3–7% of phytase activity (compared with the maximum phytase activity at a pH point) was retained for both bacterial and fungal phytases. The amount of inorganic P released from soybean meal was significantly increased when the levels of phytase activity in the soybean meal increased from 0 to 1.0 U/g soybean meal (P<0.01), except for phytase PI. The maximum P released was obtained at 1 U/g soybean meal for all five kinds of phytases (P<0.01). The most economical phytase concentration for P released was 0.25 U/g for phytase PI and B, and 0.50–1.0 U/g for phytase PG, E and R. In addition, the linear and non-linear regression models were established to estimate phytase activity and its characteristics very easily and economically. 相似文献

A new enzyme was isolated from the fungus combs in the nest of Odontotermes formosanus and identified as a laccase. The single laccase was purified with a purification factor of 16.83 by ammonium sulphate precipitation and anion exchange chromatography, to a specific activity of 211.11 U mg−1. Its molecular mass was 65 kDa. The optimum pH value and temperature were 4.0 °C and 10 °C with ABTS as the substrate, respectively. The enzyme activity stabilized at temperatures between 10 °C and 30 °C and decreased rapidly when the temperature was above 30 °C. The Vmax and Km values were 3.62 μmol min−1 mg−1 and 119.52 μM, respectively. Ethanol concentration affected laccase activity, inhibiting 60% of enzyme activity at a concentration of 70%. Metal ions of Mg2+, Ba2+ and Fe2+ showed inhibition on enzyme activity of 17.2%, 5.3% and 9.4%, respectively, with the increase of metal ions concentration from 1 mM to 5 mM. Especially Fe2+ strongly inhibited enzyme activity up to 89% inhibition at a concentration of 1 mM. 相似文献

The timing in which ice is ingested may be important for optimizing its success. However, the effects of differences in the timing of ice ingestion has not been studied in resting participants. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of differences in the timing of ice ingestion on rectal temperature (Tre) and rating of perceptual sensation in a hot environment. Seven males ingested 1.25 g kg−1 of crushed ice (ICE1.25: 0.5 °C) or cold water (CON: 4 °C) every 5 min for 30 min, or were given 7.5 g kgBM−1 of crushed ice (ICE7.5) to consume for 30 min in a hot environment (35 °C, 30% relative humidity). The participants then remained at rest for 1 h. As physiological indices, Tre, body mass and urine specific gravity were measured. Rating of thermal sensation was measured at 5-min intervals throughout the experiment. ICE1.25 continued to decrease Tre until approximately 50 min, and resulted in a greater reduction in Tre (−0.56±0.20 °C) than ICE7.5 (−0.41±0.14 °C). Tre was reduced from 40 to 75 min by ICE1.25, which is a significant reduction in comparison to ICE7.5 (p<.05). Mean RTS with ICE1.25 at 50–65 min was significantly lower than that with ICE7.5 (p<.05). These results suggest that pre-cooling with intermittent ice ingestion is a more effective strategy both for lowering the Tre and for the rating of thermal sensation. 相似文献

The effects of heating rate (HR) on the performance of two-phase (batch followed by fed-batch) high cell-density cultivations (HCDC) of E. coli DH5α for the production of plasmid DNA (pDNA) were investigated. Optimal temperatures for the HCDC, as selected from shake flask experiments at constant temperatures between 30 and 45 °C, were 35 °C for biomass accumulation in the batch phase and 42 °C for inducing pDNA replication during the fed-batch. In HCDC the temperature was increased at HR of 0.025, 0.05, 0.10 and 0.25 °C/min and the performance of the cultivations were compared to a HCDC run at constant temperature (35 °C). Compared to constant 35 °C, heat-induced HCDC accumulated up to 50% less biomass within the same cultivation time and acetate and glucose accumulated to high concentrations. The overall specific productivity (QP) and average pDNA yield (Yp/x) in HCDC at 35 °C were 0.22 ± 0.02 mg/g h and 5.3 ± 0.00 mg/g, respectively. Such parameters were maximum at a HR of 0.05 °C/min, reaching 0.56 ± 0.06 mg/g h and 9.3 ± 0.6 mg/g, respectively. At HR above 0.5 °C/min, Yp/x remained relatively constant, whereas QP tended to decrease. The supercoiled pDNA fraction remained around 80% at all HR. Bioreactors were equipped with a capacitance/conductivity probe. In all cases biomass concentration correlated closely with the capacitance signal and acetate and glucose accumulation was accompanied by an increase in the conductivity signal. Thus, it was possible to calculate acetate and biomass concentrations, as well as μ, from online capacitance and conductivity signals using estimators. Altogether, in this study it was shown that it is possible to maximize pDNA productivity by choosing an appropriate HR and that relevant parameters can be estimated by capacitance/conductivity signals, which are useful for better process control and development. 相似文献
