A charred sample was prepared from potato starch heated with ammonium carbonate at 600 degrees C in a flask under a nitrogen stream. The water produced was collected and extracted with methylene chloride. The basic fraction obtained from the extract exhibited strong mutagenicity in Ames assays using
The Guatemala potato tuber moth Tecia solanivora (Povolny) (Lep. Gelechiidae) is an invasive species from Mesoamerica that has considerably extended its distribution area in recent decades. While this species is considered to be a major potato pest in Venezuela, Colombia, and Ecuador, currently no
Seven organic and inorganic salts were tested for suppression of silver scurf, a postharvest disease of potato tubers caused by Helminthosporium solani. Potassium sorbate, calcium propionate, sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, potassium carbonate, potassium bicarbonate, and ammonium bicarbonate
Two new cyclohexene compounds related to theobroxide (3) were isolated from the mycelia of Lasiodiplodia theobromae OCS71. The structures of these compounds were determined to be (4S,5S)-4,5-dihydroxy-2-methyl-cyclohex-2-enone (1) and
Increasing environmental concerns and the awareness of the finite nature of natural resources make the valorization of waste materials to become a real challenge. The objective of the current research is to investigate the possibility of phosphate recovery as calcium phosphate salts from the
The toxicity to Penicillium digitatum and practical use of carbonate and bicarbonate salts to control green mold were determined. The effective dose (ED50) concentrations to inhibit the germination of P. digitatum spores of sodium carbonate (SC), potassium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate
The objective was to test the hypothesis that the standardized total tract digestibility (STTD) of Ca and the response to microbial phytase on STTD of Ca and apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) of P in diets fed to gestating sows are constant throughout gestation. The second objective was to
Two experiments were conducted to evaluate particle size of calcium carbonate used in diets fed to growing pigs. Experiment 1 was conducted to determine apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD), standardized total tract digestibility (STTD), and retention of Ca among diets containing calcium
Finding appropriate adsorbent may improve the quality of drinking water in those regions where arsenic (As) and fluoride (F-) are present in geological formations. In this study, we evaluated the efficiency of potato peel and rice husk ash (PPRH-ash)-derived adsorbent for the removal of As and F
It has been shown that Polycar prepared from sodium carbonate byproducts, intended for the treatment of potatoes before its storage, makes for an increase in solanine content, and a decrease in the level of ascorbic acid in potato. Such potato produces a toxic effect on the rat body. A conclusion
Potato silver scurf, caused by Helminthosporium solani, is an important postharvest disease of economic significance. Control of H. solani has been accomplished primarily by postharvest applications of thiabendazole. However, many strains of H. solani have become resistant to thiabendazole,
Silver scurf, caused by Helminthosporium solani, is an economically important postharvest disease of potato tubers. Organic and inorganic salts were evaluated for their ability to suppress silver scurf lesion development and sporulation of H. solani on potato tubers. Tubers were treated immediately
Five millimolar KCN reduced water permeability in 1-millimeter thick slices of potato tuber (Solanum tuberosum L.). One-tenth millimolar ATP and CTP prevented or reversed the reduced permeability. UTP and GTP were not effective. Five millimolar ammonium carbonate or 0.1 millimolar 2,4-dinitrophenol
A regional experiment was conducted to test the hypothesis that the concentration of dietary Ca does not affect the digestibility of Ca or P in diets fed to growing pigs. Six diets based on corn, potato protein isolate, cornstarch, and soybean oil were formulated. All diets also contained monosodium
Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. tenebrionis insecticidal protein was produced in recombinant Escherichia coli and purified to near homogeneity to provide quantities of protein for safety-assessment studies associated with the registration of transgenic potato plants. The 68-kDa protein is produced
