The foremost requirement of quantification of cellulases expressed in genetically modified sugarcane is an efficient sample clean-up. This work investigates the feasibility of isotachophoresis for this purpose. An electrolyte system comprising a leading electrolyte of 10mM formic acid at pH 9.0 and
The aim of this study was to determine the airway exposure of sugar and papermaking factory workers to aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) and to explore the potential association between AFB1 airway exposure and the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in a case-control study. Dust samples were collected from
Sugarcane is an important forage source for dairy cows in tropical countries. However, it provides limited digestible fiber and energy intake, and fat supplementation can be a way to increase energy density and decrease dietary, non-fiber carbohydrates concentrations. We aimed to evaluate the
The present study evaluated the effects of food and alcohol intake on the nutritional and metabolic status of male and female periadolescent rats submitted to single (15%) and multiple (10%, 20%, 30%) concentrations of hydroalcoholic solutions of sugar-based alcohol associated with a feed mixture.
alpha-Galactoside binding proteins were isolated from cellular membranes of mint and tobacco as well as two clones of sugarcane which differ in their sensitivity to helminthosporoside, a toxic galactoside. Sodium trichloroacetate was used to disrupt membranes after which the proteins were purified
Sugarcane (Saccharum hybrids), the second largest cash crop of Pakistan, is planted on 1.029 million ha with an annual production of 50 million tons. During a survey of the sugarcane crop in Faisalabad, Sargodha, and the Dera Ghazi Khan Division of the Punjab Province of Pakistan from 2007 to 2010,
Objective The aim of this study was to assess the potential to reduce kidney function damage during the implementation of a water, rest, shade (WRS) and efficiency intervention program among sugarcane workers. Methods A WRS intervention program adapted from the US Occupational Safety and Health
Poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG 4000) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) were investigated with the purpose of evaluating their influence on enzymatic hydrolysis of sugarcane bagasse. Effects of these supplements were assayed for different enzymatic cocktails (Trichoderma harzianum and Penicillium
An efficient pretreatment with various concentrations of FeCl3 (0.005-0.2 mol/L) was developed to extract hemicellulose in sugarcane bagasse and enhance the enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose in pretreated solids. It was found that 0.025 mol/L FeCl3 pretreated substrate yielded a high glucose yield
Lignin plays an important functional and structural role in plants, but also contributes to the recalcitrance of lignocellulosic biomass to hydrolysis. This study addresses the influence of lignin in hydrolysis of sugarcane bagasse from conventional bred lines (UFV260 and UFV204) that were selected
In this work, the stepwise synthesis of interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) strategy was developed in an attempt to fabricate novel hydrogels consisting of sugarcane bagasse cellulose (SBC), carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and poly (N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAm) as a dual-responsive drug carrier.
BACKGROUND
In Central America, an epidemic of chronic kidney disease of unknown cause disproportionately affects young male agricultural workers.
METHODS
Longitudinal cohort study.
METHODS
284 sugarcane workers in 7 jobs were recruited from one company in northwestern Nicaragua. Blood and urine
Lignin contributes to the rigid structure of the plant cell wall and is partially responsible for the recalcitrance of lignocellulosic materials to enzymatic digestion. Overcoming this recalcitrance is one the most critical issues in a sugar-flat form process. This study addresses the effect of low
BACKGROUND
There is an epidemic of chronic kidney disease (CKD) of unknown etiology in Central American workers.
OBJECTIVE
To investigate changes and job-specific differences in kidney function over a 6-month sugarcane harvest season, explore the potential role of hydration, and measure
OBJECTIVE
To determine patients perception and knowledge regarding diet in cirrhosis and its relationship with the level of patients education.
METHODS
Cross-sectional observational study.
METHODS
This study was conducted at Gastroenterology Outpatient Clinics at the Aga Khan University Hospital,
