Modified Process for Isolation and Purification of Lutein from Marigold Flowers
Published Tuesday, March 9, 1999Numerous epidemiological studies have shown that consumption of substantial amounts of fruits and vegetables reduce the risk of cancer. The anti cancer activity is believed to be caused by the carotenoids in the food which act as antioxidants. Most earlier studies were conducted with b carotene as an antioxidant. Recent evidence suggests that...

An E. coli Strain, BAS2006, that Carries Mutations that Confer Increased Permeability
Published Tuesday, March 9, 1999Bacteria are a major cause of contamination in food and water-borne diseases. To eliminate and treat bacterial infections many drugs are formulated and synthesized. Chemicals synthesized as potential anti microbial compounds and/or therapeutic drugs need to be tested for their efficacy. To do this, a good screening system with a test bacteria is...

Axial Piston Compressor
Published Tuesday, March 9, 1999The most common type of compressor used in refrigerators is the reciprocating compressor due primarily to its ease of production. However, the rotational shaft motion of such compressors result in mechanical loss, noise and vibration; reciprocating compressors also require a large number of parts and significant radial size. The above...
