Combined effects of nutrients and temperature on the production of fermentative aromas by Saccharomyces cerevisiae during wine fermentation.

Appl. Microbiol. Biotechnol. 99(5) , 2291-304, (2015)

Volatile compounds produced by yeast during fermentation greatly influence the organoleptic qualities of wine. We developed a model to predict the combined effects of initial nitrogen and phytosterol content and fermentation temperature on the production of v...

GC/MS method for determining carbon isotope enrichment and concentration of underivatized short-chain fatty acids by direct aqueous solution injection of biogas digester samples.

Talanta 143 , 56-63, (2015)

In anaerobic digestion of organic matter, several metabolic pathways are involved during the simultaneous production and consumption of short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) in general and acetate in particular. Understanding the role of each pathway requires both t...

Structural variation governs substrate specificity for organic anion transporter (OAT) homologs. Potential remote sensing by OAT family members.

J. Biol. Chem. 282 , 23841-53, (2007)

Organic anion transporters (OATs, SLC22) interact with a remarkably diverse array of endogenous and exogenous organic anions. However, little is known about the structural features that determine their substrate selectivity. We examined the substrate binding ...

Using contemporary liquid chromatography theory and technology to improve capillary gradient ion-exchange separations.

J. Chromatogr. A. 1370 , 63-9, (2014)

The gradient-performance limits of capillary ion chromatography have been assessed at maximum system pressure (34.5 MPa) using capillary columns packed with 4.1 μm macroporous anion-exchange particles coated with 65 nm positively-charged nanobeads. In analogy...

Circuit formation and function in the olfactory bulb of mice with reduced spontaneous afferent activity.

J. Neurosci. 35(1) , 146-60, (2015)

The type of neuronal activity required for circuit development is a matter of significant debate. We addressed this issue by analyzing the topographic organization of the olfactory bulb in transgenic mice engineered to have very little afferent spontaneous ac...

Direct Derivatization vs Aqueous Extraction Methods of Fecal Free Fatty Acids for GC-MS Analysis.

Lipids 50 , 681-9, (2015)

A comprehensive and accurate determination of free fatty acids (FFA) is required for fecal metabolomic investigations. The present study compares three aqueous extraction methods (1) ULTRA-TURRAX(®), (2) whirl mixing and (3) basic ULTRA-TURRAX extraction of f...

Application of integrated comprehensive/multidimensional gas chromatography with mass spectrometry and olfactometry for aroma analysis in wine and coffee.

Food Chem. 185 , 355-61, (2015)

Component coelution in chromatographic analysis complicates identification and attribution of individual odour-active volatile molecules in complex multi-component samples. An integrated system incorporating comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (G...

Correlating wine quality indicators to chemical and sensory measurements.

Molecules 20 , 8453-83, (2015)

Twenty-seven commercial Californian Cabernet Sauvignon wines of different quality categories were analyzed with sensory and chemical methods. Correlations between five quality proxies-points awarded during a wine competition, wine expert scores, retail price,...

BACE1 and cholinesterase inhibitory activities of Nelumbo nucifera embryos.

Arch. Pharm. Res. 38 , 1178-87, (2015)

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the comparative anti-Alzheimer's disease (AD) activities of different parts of Nelumbo nucifera (leaves, de-embryo seeds, embryos, rhizomes, and stamens) in order to determine the selectivity and efficient use of i...

Requirements for the formation of a chiral template.

J. Phys. Chem. B 109(2) , 851-6, (2005)

The chemisorptive enantioselectivity of propylene oxide is examined on Pd(111) surfaces templated by chiral 2-methylbutanoate and 2-aminobutanoate species. It has been found previously that chiral propylene oxide is chemisorbed enantiospecifically onto Pd(111...
