Sweetness doesn't just come from sugar -- there are hundreds of organic, synthetic, and inorganic compounds that taste sweet. Many plants contain sugar derivatives known as glycosides. Stevia, for example, is a

Haematococcus pluvialis is the best source of natural astaxanthin, known as the king of antioxidants. H. pluvialis have four cell forms: spore, motile cell, non-motile cell and akinete. Spores and motile cells are susceptible to photoinhibition and would

Thin-section observation shows that the thrombolites are dark, rich in black organic matters, and mostly elliptical in shape with evident boundary and typical thrombolite textures. Dolostones are mostly filled between the thrombolites (Figure 3b), and evident residual biogranular textures can be ...
Conformational isomerism is not trivial, and it is known that the conformation change in biological macromolecules can result in dramatic function differences (e.g., toxic vs. nontoxic)20. For inorganic (or inorganic-organic hybrid) nanoparticles (NPs), the concept of conformational isomerism has ...
During this powerful filter-feeding activity, organic particles such as algae, bacteria, viruses, inorganic contaminants, and detritus can be retained in animal tissues (Orban et al. 2002; Vernocchi et al. 2007). Indeed, mussels have long been utilized in the biomoni- toring of ...
EEM fluorescence spectra were divided into four regions based on the differences of excitation-emission wavelengths of organic matters: aromatic protein-like, fulvic acid-like, soluble microbial by-product-like and humic acid-like regions (Table S1 in Supplementary material) (Sun et al., 2016). ...
can be done by the application of some external stress or compounds such as a strong acid or base, a concentrated inorganic salt, an organic solvent (alcohol, chloroform), agitation, radiation, or heat. Guanidine thiocyanate and guanidine hydrochloride are two different types of protein denat...
Ionic liquids (ILs) are ionic compounds with melting temperature below 100 °C which usually contain organic cations and organic or inorganic anions. Room temperature ILs (with melting temperature below room temperature) form a relatively new class of electrolytes attracting an enormous interest for en...
