Kinetics of lactose fermentation in milk with kombucha starter.

The aim of this research was to investigate the effect of new, non-conventional starter culture on the kinetics of the lactose transformation during milk fermentation by kombucha, at pH 5.8; 5.4; 5.

Prediction of In-silico ADME Properties of 1,2-O-Isopropylidene Aldohexose Derivatives.

Retention behaviour of molecules mostly depends on their chemical structure. Retention data of biologically active molecules could be an indirect relationship between their structure and biological or pharmacological activity, since the molecular structure affects their behaviour in all pharmacokinetic stages. In the present paper, retention parameters (R M (0)) of biologically active 1,2-O-isopropylidene aldohexose derivatives, obtained by normal-phase thin-layer chromatography (NP TLC), were correlated with selected physicochemical properties relevant to pharmacokinetics, i.

A Review on Kombucha Tea-Microbiology, Composition, Fermentation, Beneficial Effects, Toxicity, and Tea Fungus.

Fermentation of sugared tea with a symbiotic culture of acetic acid bacteria and yeast (tea fungus) yields kombucha tea which is consumed worldwide for its refreshing and beneficial properties on human health. Important progress has been made in the past decade concerning research findings on kombucha tea and reports claiming that drinking kombucha can prevent various types of cancer and cardiovascular diseases, promote liver functions, and stimulate the immune system. Considering the widespread reports on kombucha, we recognized the need to review and update the research conducted in relation to kombucha tea, its products and tea fungus.

Quantitative structure-retention relationship analysis of some xylofuranose derivatives by linear multivariate method.

The relationship between retention behavior of eight 1,2-O-cyclohexylidene xylofuranose derivatives and their molecular characteristics was studied using chemometric Quantitative Structure-Retention Relationships (QSRR) approach. QSRR analysis was carried out on the retention parameter RM0, obtained by normal-phase thin-layer chromatography, by using molecular descriptors, as well as partition coefficient for n-octanol/water bi-phase system (logP). Molecular descriptors were calculated from the optimized structures.
