Determination and Microscopic Localization of Cholesterol

Enhancement of Antimicrobial Activities by the Food‐grade Monolaurin Microemulsion System

“…However, we believe that as the fat or starch content of the food increases, the M progressively partitions into it, lowering the effective biocidal concentration (Blaszyk and Holley 1998). This may explain why studies on the use of the M as a food preservative, particularly those involving starchy or meat products, have used the MME at concentrations ranging from 3,000 to 5,000 ppm (Kabara 1978). In our studies, the effect of inhibiting A. niger and P. digitatum was less significant than B. subtilis and E. coli at the same concentration of the M alone or the MME.…”

“…However, many natural antimicrobials have a limited spectrum of activity and are effective only at very high concentrations. A possible solution may be using combinations of antimicrobials (Branen and Davidson 2004;Kabara 1978).…”

Effects of herbicide, glyphosate on behaviour response & blood metabolite of Clarias batrachus (Linn.)

“…On 30th day blood samples was extracted from the caudal dorsal of the test fish and were then processed for quantitative estimation of blood glucose (Sinha, 1990) [29] , serum protein ('Biuret method' of Varley et. al., 1980) [32] and serum cholesterol (Kabara's method, 1966) [14] .…”
