Individual Holstein cow milk samples were selected for good and poor chymosin-coagulation characteristics. The effect of pH adjustment, addition of .02% calcium chloride, and variation in chymosin concentration on coagulation properties of good and poor coagulating samples was evaluated. Pooling 50% good and 50% poor coagulating samples did not improve the average coagulation properties of the poor samples. Reducing milk pH to 6.3 caused a significant decrease in coagulation time but a less marked increase in curd firmness. The greatest increase in curd firmness was obtained by a combination of reducing milk pH, addition of .02% calcium chloride, and reducing chymosin concentration. High-chymosin concentration at reduced pH decreased coagulation time without substantially increasing curd firmness. Curd disintegration was more apparent at high-chymosin concentration in the poor coagulating samples.

The pretreatment with green deep eutectic solvents (DESs) is conducive to realizing the high-efficiency utilization of lignin at a low cost. In this study, an innovative choline chloride/urea/calcium hydroxide (ChCl/UR/Ca(OH)) DES containing a reversibly-soluble base Ca(OH) was developed for the pretreatment of enzymatic hydrolysis lignin (EHL). The lignin pretreatment effects of the proposed ChCl/UR/Ca(OH) DES were compare with a series of DESs.

Vascular calcification is a highly regulated process in cardiovascular disease (CVD) and is strongly correlated with morbidity and mortality, especially in the adverse stage of vascular remodeling after coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). However, the pathogenesis of vascular graft calcification, particularly the role of endothelial-smooth muscle cell interaction, is still unclear. To test how ECs interact with SMCs in artery grafts, single-cell analysis of wild-type mice is first performed using an arterial isograft mouse model and found robust cytokine-mediated signaling pathway activation and SMC proliferation, together with upregulated endothelial tripartite motif 35 (TRIM35) expression.

Surface water chemistry of the River Ganga at Varanasi was analyzed at 10 locations over 3 years (2019-2021) across pre-monsoon, monsoon, and post-monsoon seasons. The study aimed to assess water parameters using principal component analysis (PCA), calculate the water quality index (WQI), determine processes governing water chemistry, evaluate irrigation suitability, and estimate non-carcinogenic health risks. The physical parameters measured included pH (8.
