Lipp, P. published the artcileRemoval of organic micro-pollutants during drinking water treatment by nanofiltration and reverse osmosis, Application of Diatrizoic Acid, the main research area is organic micro pollutant nanofiltration reverse osmosis drinking water purification.

A study on a flat sheet membrane test unit for nanofiltration (NF) and reverse osmosis (RO) with synthetic and natural waters was carried out in order to evaluate the performance of four NF/RO membranes for the removal of selected organic micro-pollutants. The influence of mol. weight and membrane material on removal efficiencies was shown. Perfluorinated compounds and X-ray contrast agents with mol. weights larger than 300 g/mol are rejected to a percentage of more than 90%. Pharmaceuticals and antibiotics show rejection values larger than 60%. For the substances with a mol. weight between 100 and 200 g/mol there is a large range of rejection values depending on the membrane type. RO membranes usually achieve higher rejection values than NF membranes. Rejection also depends on the type of organic micro-pollutant. Although NF/RO membranes do not reject substances selectively, NF/RO is a suitable treatment technol. for their removal if this is desired. However, it has to be considered that water composition is changed drastically by NF/RO such that a post treatment of the permeate may be required to keep up with the drinking water standards For full-scale application also the dosage of antiscalants has to be taken into account. In Germany there is a lively discussion about the discharge of concentrates when authorities have to decide on the realization of NF/RO plants.

Wenk, Jannis published the artcileEffect of dissolved organic matter on the transformation of contaminants induced by excited triplet states and the hydroxyl radical, Category: isoquinoline, the main research area is dissolved organic matter transformation contaminant excited triplet state; organic matter transformation contaminant excited triplet state hydroxyl radical.

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) has recently been shown to reduce the transformation rate of various aqueous organic contaminants submitted to oxidation by excited triplet states, apparently by inhibiting the transformation of oxidation intermediates. The goals were to evaluate the effect of concentration and type of DOM on the triplet-induced transformation rate of 4 selected organics and to check for an analogous inhibition effect in the case of oxidation induced by hydroxyl radical. A marked inhibition by DOM of triplet-induced oxidation was observed for N,N-dimethylaniline (DMA) and the 2 antibiotics sulfamethoxazole (SMX) and trimethoprim (TRI), with DOM of terrestrial origin being a more effective inhibitor than DOM of aquatic origin. The results are important to understand the role of DOM both as a photosensitizer and as an inhibitor for the triplet-induced transformation of aquatic contaminants. In contrast, no DOM-induced reduction in 2nd-order rate constant could be observed in competition kinetics experiments for the reaction of hydroxyl radical with a series of 15 organics, covering several classes of aromatic contaminants, indicating that Suwannee River fulvic acid used as reference DOM does not affect this reaction mechanism.

Cai, Jing published the artcileCorrelation Analysis of Microbiota and Volatile Flavor Compounds of Caishiji Soybean Paste, HPLC of Formula: 21834-92-4, the main research area is volatile flavor compound microbiota soybean paste.

Microbial diversity plays a crucial part in the fermentation of Caishiji soybean paste (CSP). In the current study, the microbiota and volatile flavor compounds (VFCs) in CSP were identified through Illumina MiSeq sequencing and headspace gas chromatog.-mass spectrometry. Five bacterial (Bacillus, Tetragenococcus, Salinivibrio, Halomonas, and Staphylococcus) and four fungal genera (Aspergillus, Debaryomyces, Nigrospora, and Curvularia) were revealed as dominant among the entire microbiome of CSP. More than 70 VFCs, including 8 acids, 15 esters, 8 alcs., 14 aldehydes, 4 ketones, 5 phenols, and 20 miscellaneous VFCs were detected during the fermentation process. A total of 12 kinds of VFCs were identified in the odor activity value (OAV) anal. The results of the correlation anal. between microbiota and VFCs indicated that Bacillus, Tetragenococcus, Staphylococcus, and Aspergillus were the main microbiota affecting the flavor of CSP. These results may serve as a reference for enhancing the quality of CSP.

Owusu, Margaret published the artcileRelationship of sensory and instrumental aroma measurements of dark chocolate as influenced by fermentation method, roasting and conching conditions, Application In Synthesis of 21834-92-4, the main research area is aroma flavor fermentation roasting conching dark chocolate; Chocolate; Conching; Flavor attributes; Heap-fermented; Roasting; Tray-fermented.

The investigation was undertaken to establish a relationship between key odorants and perceived flavor attributes of dark chocolate as influenced by cocoa fermentation method, roasting and conching conditions, using multivariate data anal. in an attempt to use one variable to predict the other. Eight of the sixteen flavor attributes used by a trained sensory panel to describe and quantify the intensity of attributes in the samples were significantly different (p<0.05). Roasting significantly reduced astringency in heap-fermented samples but the reduction in tray-fermented samples was not significant. Unconched samples were rated higher in banana attribute than conched samples. Multivariate data anal. tools, Principal Component Anal. (PCA) and Partial Least Squares (PLS) were used to investigate quant. descriptive anal. and GC-O data and also to relate the two sets of data. PLS 1 models based on single sensory attributes gave better models than PLS2 models based on all sixteen sensory attributes. Ethyl-3-methylbutanoate (fruity, flowery); 2,5-dimethylpyrazine (popcorn); dihydro-2(3H)-furanone, (sweet); linalool oxide (sweet, flowery); benzaldehyde (earthy, nutty) and 2/3-methylbutanal (cocoa, roasted) modeled fruit attribute. It was also possible to model the attribute astringent from the aroma compounds 5-methyl-2-phenyl-2-hexenal (sweet, roasted cocoa), ethyl-3-methylbutanoate and pentyl acetate (green, cucumber). Since fruit attribute was higher in unconched samples and astringent higher in unroasted samples, it may be possible to use the levels of these important aroma compounds as indicators of the sensory attributes fruit and astringent.

Hogberg, Mona N. published the artcileCarbon-nitrogen relations of ectomycorrhizal mycelium across a natural nitrogen supply gradient in boreal forest, Application of 1-Methylurea, the main research area is boreal forest ectomycorrhizal mycelium carbon nitrogen relation; Betsele N supply gradient; boreal forest; carbon limitation; ectomycorrhizal fungi; extramatrical ectomycorrhizal mycelium; natural abundance of 13C and 15N; nitrogen limitation; stable isotope mixing model analysis.

The supply of carbon (C) from tree photosynthesis to ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi is known to decrease with increasing plant nitrogen (N) supply, but how this affects fungal nutrition and growth remains to be clarified. We placed mesh-bags with quartz sand, with or without an organic N (15N-, 13C-labeled) source, in the soil along a natural N supply gradient in boreal forest, to measure growth and use of N and C by ECM extramatrical mycelia. Mycelial C : N declined with increasing N supply. Addition of N increased mycelial growth at the low-N end of the gradient. We found an inverse relationship between uptake of added N and C; the use of added N was high when ambient N was low, whereas use of added C was high when C from photosynthesis was low. We propose that growth of ECM fungi is N-limited when soil N is scarce and tree belowground C allocation to ECM fungi is high, but is C-limited when N supply is high and tree belowground C allocation is low. This suggests that ECM fungi have a major role in soil N retention in nutrient-poor, but less so in nutrient-rich boreal forests.

Lee, Sang Hun published the artcileMimicking the human smell sensing mechanism with an artificial nose platform, Synthetic Route of 1205-17-0, the main research area is odor sensor olfactory sensor olfaction carboxylated polypyrrole nanotube electrode.

Sensing smell is a highly complex biol. process, and characterizing and mimicking the interaction between the olfactory receptor (OR) protein and its ligands is extremely challenging. Herein, we report a highly sensitive and selective human nose-like nanobioelectronic nose (nbe-nose), which responds to gaseous odorants sensitively and selectively, has a signal specificity pattern similar to that in the cellular signal transduction pathway, and maintains an antagonistic behavior similar to the human nose. The human olfaction mechanism was mimicked by using carboxylated polypyrrole nanotubes (CPNTs) functionalized with human OR protein. The nbe-nose was able to detect gaseous odorants at a concentration as low as 0.02 parts-per-trillion (ppt), which was comparable to a highly trained, human expert’s nose. The nbe-nose can be used scientifically for smell mechanism studies. It can be also applied to various fields that rely on smell monitoring for industrial and public purposes.

Musa, Musiliyu A. published the artcileIdentification of 7,8-dihydroxy-3-phenylcoumarin as a reversible monoamine oxidase enzyme inhibitor, Application of 4-Methoxyphenylacetic acid, the main research area is dihydroxy phenylcoumarin monoamine oxidase enzyme inhibitor neuroprotection; 3-arylcoumarin; molecular modeling; monoamine oxidase inhibitors; neuroprotection; structure-activity relationship.

We herein report the biol. evaluation of 3-arylcoumarin derivatives (3a-l) as potential human monoamine oxidase-A and -B (hMAO-A and hMAO-B) inhibitors. The result indicated that 7,8-dihydroxy-3-(4-nitrophenyl)coumarin (3j) was most effective against MAO-A (inhibition concentration [IC50] = 6.46 ± 0.02μM) and MAO-B (IC50 = 3.8 ± 0.3μM) enzymes than other synthesized compounds and reference compounds (pargyline and moclobemide). Furthermore, compound (3j) showed (a) nonselectivity against hMAO enzymes, (b) reversible hMAO enzymes inhibition, and (c) neuroprotection against H2O2-treated human neuroblastoma (N2a) cells. Finally, a mol. modeling study revealed that the hMAO enzymes inhibitory activity of the compound (3j) may be due to the orientation where the nitro (NO2) group lies deep into the receptor and the Ph ring directed toward flavin adenosine dinucleotide via hydrogen bond interaction, and possible π-π interaction with various important residues. Thus, the results of the present study demonstrate that compound (3j) can be considered as a promising scaffold for the development of hMAO-A and hMAO-B inhibitors.

Schmiedeberg, Kristin published the artcileStructural determinants of odorant recognition by the human olfactory receptors OR1A1 and OR1A2, COA of Formula: C11H12O3, the main research area is olfactory receptor OR1A1 A2 gene odorant.

An interaction of odorants with olfactory receptors is thought to be the initial step in odorant detection. However, ligands have been reported for only 6 out of 380 human olfactory receptors, with their structural determinants of odorant recognition just beginning to emerge. Guided by the notion that amino acid positions that interact with specific odorants would be conserved in orthologs, but variable in paralogs, and based on the prediction of a set of 22 of such amino acid positions, we have combined site-directed mutagenesis, rhodopsin-based homol. modeling, and functional expression in HeLa/Olf cells of receptors OR1A1 and OR1A2. We found that (i) their odorant profiles are centered around citronellic terpenoid structures, (ii) two evolutionary conserved amino acid residues in transmembrane domain 3 are necessary for the responsiveness of OR1A1 and the mouse ortholog Olfr43 to (S)-(-)-citronellol, (iii) changes at these two positions are sufficient to account for the differential (S)-(-)-citronellol responsiveness of the paralogs OR1A1 and OR1A2, and (iv) the interaction sites for (S)-(-)-citronellal and (S)-(-)-citronellol differ in both human receptors. Our results show that the orientation of odorants within a homol. modeling-derived binding pocket of olfactory receptor orthologs is defined by evolutionary conserved amino acid positions.
