Mechanism of chemical activation of sodium chloride in the presence of amino acids.

Food Chem. 166 , 301-8, (2014)

Sodium chloride has been shown to promote chlorination of glycerol during thermal processing. However, the detailed mechanism of this reaction is not well understood. Preliminary experiments have indicated that the reaction mixture should contain an amino aci...

The effect of knockout of sulfotransferases 1a1 and 1d1 and of transgenic human sulfotransferases 1A1/1A2 on the formation of DNA adducts from furfuryl alcohol in mouse models.

Carcinogenesis 35(10) , 2339-45, (2014)

Furfuryl alcohol is a rodent carcinogen present in numerous foodstuffs. Sulfotransferases (SULTs) convert furfuryl alcohol into the DNA reactive and mutagenic 2-sulfoxymethylfuran. Sensitive techniques for the isotope-dilution ultra performance liquid chromat...

Folate-polyethyleneimine functionalized mesoporous carbon nanoparticles for enhancing oral bioavailability of paclitaxel.

Int. J. Pharm. 484(1-2) , 207-17, (2015)

Polymer-functionalized carbon nanoparticles hold great promise for their use in enhancing the oral absorption of drugs with poor oral bioavailability. And since the abundant expression of folate receptors in intestinal tract, folic acid (FA) modified uniform ...

Photolysis of Low-Brominated Diphenyl Ethers and Their Reactive Oxygen Species-Related Reaction Mechanisms in an Aqueous System.

PLoS ONE 10 , e0135400, (2015)

To date, no report was concerned with participation of reactive oxygen species in waters during photolysis of low-brominated diphenyl ethers (LBDEs). Herein, we found that electron spin resonance (ESR) signals rapidly increased with increasing irradiation tim...

Glucose oxidase adsorption performance of carbonaceous mesocellular foams prepared with different carbon sources.

J. Biosci. Bioeng. 120 , 9-16, (2015)

Several carbonaceous mesocellular foams (C-MCFs) were prepared with MCF-silica as template using the carbon precursors of sucrose, furfuryl alcohol and lab-made phenolic resin, and the corresponding C-MCFs were named as C-MCF-Suc, C-MCF-FA and C-MCF-PR, respe...

The separation and detection of PET tracers via capillary electrophoresis for chemical identity and purity analysis.

J. Pharm. Biomed. Anal. 94 , 12-8, (2014)

CE coupled with UV detection was assessed as a possible platform for the chemical identity and purity analysis of positron emission tomography (PET) tracers using [(18)F]FAC and [(18)F]FLT as examples. Representative samples containing mixtures of the tracers...

Characterization of Volatile Flavor Compounds in Chinese Rice Wine Fermented from Enzymatic Extruded Rice.

J. Food Sci. 80 , C1476-89, (2015)

Enzymatic extrusion, instead of traditional steam cooking, to treat rice is an efficient and alternative pretreatment for Chinese rice wine fermentation. In order to determine the formation of volatiles in enzymatic extrusion-processed rice wine (EE), and to ...

Chlorophyll catalyse the photo-transformation of carcinogenic benzo[a]pyrene in water.

Sci. Rep. 5 , 12776, (2015)

Algal blooms cause great damage to water quality and aquaculture. However, this study showed that dead algal cells and chlorophyll could accelerate the photo-transformation of benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), a ubiquitous and persistent pollutant with potently mutagenic...

Photochemically induced formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) from effluent organic matter.

Environ. Sci. Technol. 48(21) , 12645-53, (2014)

The formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) from effluent organic matter (EfOM) was investigated under simulated solar irradiation. In this study, EfOM was isolated into three different fractions based on hydrophobicity. The productivity of ROS in EfOM was...

Role of dissolved organic matter in ice photochemistry.

Environ. Sci. Technol. 48(18) , 10725-33, (2014)

In this study, we provide evidence that dissolved organic matter (DOM) plays an important role in indirect photolysis processes in ice, producing reactive oxygen species (ROS) and leading to the efficient photodegradation of a probe hydrophobic organic pollut...
