Abstract (PDF)
Graphical Abstract: The study presents data on the antioxidant interaction between ascorbic and dihydroxyfumaric acids determined via DPPH method, by applying EPR spectroscopy. The type of antioxidant interaction is dependent on the concentration ratio of the ascorbic and dihydroxyfumaric acids, thus, at the mM DHF/mM AA ratios of 1.4 and 1.7 the highest synergistic effects of 1.24 have been noticed, but at the mM DHF/mM AA ratio of 1 – an antagonistic effect of 0.93 was registered.

Abstract (PDF)

Graphical Abstract: In this work, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was used to highlight the structural differences between the human lactoferrin and human serum transferrin. The results clearly show the structural differences of human lactoferrin and human serum transferrin. The second derivative analysis of the FTIR spectra allows the direct identification of secondary structure components of the human lactoferrin and human serum transferrin.

Abstract (PDF)

DOI: dx.doi.org/10.19261/cjm.2014.09(2).01

Graphical Abstract: The study relates to determination of nitrate in presence of nitrite in water and can be used in the quality monitoring of natural water (surface and groundwater), drinking water, water from fish farms and public aquaria where autonomous filters is used. The nature and quantity of reagents used have insignificant impact on natural waters and sewages. According to the investigation, the method includes the removal of nitrite from the solution/water with sulfaminic acid, the nitrate ion reduction to nitrite using a reducing mixture that contains Na₂SO₄ and zinc dust in ratio of 100:5 and determining the nitrite with the Griess reagent.
