Grape Must Preparation for Alcoholic Fermentation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Palomino fino grape must was obtained from an Andalusian cooperative-winery, “Unión de Viticultores Chiclaneros” of “Chiclana de la Frontera” (Cádiz, Spain), and Riesling grape must provide by a winery in Arcos de la Frontera (Cádiz, Spain). Grape musts were transported in 25 L plastic food carafes from the winery cellar where the grapes were destemmed, ground and pressed. The must was obtained without adding sulfurous anhydride and stored at −20 °C until the beginning of the experiments. After the grape must was thawed and tempered at approximately 20 °C, potassium metabisulfite (up to 80–90 mg/L) (Sigma-Aldrich Chemical S.A., Madrid, Spain) was added, and the pH was corrected to a value of 3.2–3.3 by adding tartaric acid (Sigma-Aldrich Chemical S.A.). The sulphited grape must was then racked by gravity in methacrylate reservoirs at a temperature of 10 °C for 24 h. Once cleaned, grape must was homogenized and distributed in glass fermenters (V = 5 L) for each bee pollen doses and control with cooling jackets to control the temperature during laboratory-scale alcoholic fermentation assays. All the materials in contact with the samples during AF were decontaminated previously using peracetic acid and hydrogen peroxide mix.

Electrochemical Gold and Silver Plating

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The gold electroplating bath was prepared by mixing 0.84 M sodium sulfite and sodium thiosulfate (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA). Then, 0.1 M gold chloride (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) was added to the solution gradually in such a way that the final pH of the solution was about 7 [26 ]. For the silver electroplating bath, 30 g L−1 silver (as chloride) (Alfa Aesar, Tewksbury, MA, USA), 30 g L−1 potassium metabisulfite (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA), and 500 g L−1 sodium thiosulfate were mixed. The final pH of the solution was in the range of 4–5 [27 ]. After that, the solution was diluted with water (five-fold). Both of these plating solutions were chosen from noncyanide electrolytes due to safety and environmental considerations. The concentration of agarose (Bioshop Inc., Burlington, Canada) was 2 g L−1, and it was kept at 90 °C through placement in an oil bath. Finally, each electroplating solution was mixed with agarose separately in a ratio of 1:1. They were in two different containers at 90 °C.

Tissue sections measuring 4 µm that were obtained after deparaffinisation and rehydration from paraffin-embedded samples were rinsed in distilled water and immersed in 1% potassium permanganate (Merck; Darmstadt; Germany) for 2 min, followed by treatment as follows: 2.5% oxalic acid (Merck; Darmstadt; Germany) for 1 min; 2% iron alum (Merck; Darmstadt; Germany) for 1 min; Gomori’s solution (Merck; Darmstadt; Germany) for 3 min; 10% formalin (Merck; Darmstadt; Germany) for 2 min; gold chloride (Merck; Darmstadt; Germany) (1:500) for 3 min; 3% potassium metabisulfite (Merck; Darmstadt; Germany) for 1 min; and 3% sodium thiosulfate (Merck; Darmstadt; Germany) for 1 min. Slide sections were rinsed with distilled water before immersion in each solution. Finally, the issue sections were examined using a light microscope (Nikon) and photographed; the images were saved as jpg files. For malignant transformation, we applied a score ranging from 0 to 2, where a score of 0 indicated no regenerated/malignant cell (Figure 2A); a score of 1 indicated the presence of liver regenerated nodules (Figure 2B); and a score of 2 denoted definitive liver malignancy (Figure 2C).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
