Higher-quality Touriga Nacional (TN) wines are characterized by a fruity-citric aroma described as sweet and fresh citrus evoking the bergamot fruit (Citrus bergamia). In fact, "bergamot-like" descriptor is currently employed to rate higher quality TN wines. The aim of this work was identify among volatile compounds present in extracts (mainly terpenes) which them contributes most overall perception, relate these data with composition identification important descriptors done sensory...
Aim: The aim of this work was the construction an oenological Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain able to overexpress PGU1 gene in order be used trial fermentations. Methods and Results: recombinant is secrete active endopolygalacturonase into medium leaving its fermentation ability essentially unchanged. Wines obtained with untransformed counterpart did not differ their physicochemical parameters or major sensory characteristics. time needed for wine filtration dramatically reduced wines...
An ETAAS method was validated to quantify total Cr and CrVI in mushrooms the underlying soils. The includes a sample pretreatment for dissolution using wet acid digestion procedure selective alkaline extraction CrVI. limits of detection were, expressed μg/L, 0.15 0.17 CrVI, respectively. linearity ranges under optimized conditions were 0.15−25.0 0.17−20.0 μg/L quantification μg/g dry weight, 0.0163 0.0085 hexavalent chromium, precision instrumental lower than 1.6%, analytical method, it 10%....
TFF1 expression is markedly reduced in human GCs, suggesting that a tumor suppressor for gastric cancer. The present study evaluated the and distribution pattern of paraffin-embedded canine tissue samples, including normal mucosa (n = 3), polyps 8), carcinomas 31) their adjacent non-neoplastic 30), neoplastic emboli 14), metastatic lesions 9), by immunohistochemistry (IHC). All tissues expressed superficial foveolar epithelium mucopeptic cells neck region. Most (GPs) displayed...
