The total phenolic content was analyzed according to SINGLETON & ROSSI (1965) using Folin-Ciocalteau reagent, and it was quantified using a standard curve for gallic acid (Concentration = [Absorbance + 0.0017]/0.0067; r = 0.9982) at 765 nm by a UV/Visible spectrophotometer (V-630, Jasco). The result was expressed as mg of gallic acid equivalents (GAE)/100g of the sample (fresh and dry weight). The total tannin content was analyzed as proposed by AOAC (2012). Aliquot of 0.05 mL of extract was diluted by 4.20 mL of distilled water. Then, 0.25 mL of Folin-Denis reagent and 0.5 mL of sodium carbonate solution (35%) were added. The mixture was incubated for 30 min at room temperature. The absorbance was measured at 760 nm, by a UV/ Vis spectrophotometer (V-630, Jasco). Tannic acid was used as the standard for the calibration curve (Concentration = [Absorbance -0.0144]/10.185; r = 0.9963). The result was expressed as mg of tannic acid equivalents (TAE)/100 g of the sample (fresh and dry weight).

The extinction spectra of the synthesized SiO2@Au nanoparticles were determined using a UV-Vis spectrometer V630 (V630, Jasco, Japan). This instrument operates with high speeds of up to 8000 nm/min and can measure wavelength ranges from 190 to 1100 nm. The images of surface morphologies of SiO2, SiO2@PEI, and SiO2@Au microspheres were observed and evaluated by a scanning electron microscope (S-4800 SEM, Hitachi, Japan) with an accelerating voltage range the electron beam in the range of 0.5 to 30kV. A DLS analytical instrument (Horiba, SZ-100Z2, Kyoto, Japan) was used to determine the size of SiO2 and SiO2@Au by measuring the intensity of the dynamic light scattering of these particles. The Raman scattering intensity was measured on a Raman spectrometer (Horiba Ihr 550, Kyoto, Japan) using a laser source with an excitation light wavelength of 532 nm and methylene blue analyte.

Allicin-Loaded Gelatin Nanoparticles Synthesis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The preparation of allicin-loaded GNPs was achieved
by using the optimized formula (stirring rate of 700 rpm, gelatin[NH2]/GA[CHO] ratio of 1:2 and 4 h cross-linking
time). Incorporation of allicin to GNPs was achieved by adding 50
mg of allicin powder to the 25 mL of purified deionized water which
was used for the redispersion of the gel-like precipitate formed after
the first desolvation step. Before the addition of allicin solution,
the solution was filtered in a 25 mL volumetric flask using a filter
paper of pore size 90 mm. Afterward, the volume of the solution was
adjusted to 25 mL. The absorbance of allicin solution was then measured
spectrophotometrically using the spectrophotometer (Jasco—V-630,
Japan) at λmax of 282.1 nm and compared to a preconstructed
calibration curve of allicin in deionized water to get the actual
amount of allicin used.

For the determination of the total polyphenol content (TPC), the Folin–Ciocalteu method, which has already been used in previous studies, was applied [11 (link)]. A sample (1 mL of solution: 0.5 g beetroot powder in 10 mL of 50% (v/v) methanol/water solution) was pipetted into a 100 mL volumetric flask and was diluted with distilled water. Determinations were performed using a Jasco V630 spectrophotometer (JASCO International Co. Ltd., Tokyo, Japan) by measuring absorbance at 765 nm. Results were expressed as mg gallic acid equivalent (GAE) per 100 g d.m. of beetroot powder. TPC retention in the dried beetroot juice was calculated relative to the value measured in the feed solution before drying.

Characterization of Oregano Nanoemulsions

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The synthesized nanoemulsions with no phase separation, demonstrating long-term stability, were taken for further analysis as described [28 (link)]. The prepared oregano nanoemulsions (OENE) were diluted in water to observe the characteristic peaks using UV-visible spectrophotometer Jasco V-630 (Jasco, Japan) with a 10-mm path length cuvette. The interior part structure of nano emulsions was characterized by optical microscopy LEICA DM2500 (Leica, Germany). The nanoemulsion droplets were kept on the glass slide and monitored through the optical microscope to determine the shape and size of the particles. The dispersion, homogeneity, and nano emulsion size were observed by dynamic light scattering (DLS) (Zetasizer Nano Model S90; Malvern Instruments, UK) to determine the polydispersity index (PDI) of nanoemulsions. All measurement calculations were performed in triplicates.

In this study, an OD600 of 1.0 corresponds to 0.43 ± 0.07 g l−1 of dried P. putida S12. Glycerol was analysed by a glycerol assay kit (Sigma‐Aldrich Co. LLC, Saint Louis, MO, USA). Furan derivatives (HMF, HMF acid, FFA and FDCA) were analysed by HPLC (Jasco 4000 series) equipped with a photodiode array detector (PAD). The column used was a Zorbax Eclipse XDB‐C8 (pore size of 80 Å, Agilent), and its temperature was controlled at 25°C in a column oven. As the mobile phase, 20 mM KH2PO4 (A) and acetonitrile (B) were used at a flow rate of 1.2 ml min−1. After feeding 100% of 20 mM KH2PO4 for 1 min, the amount of acetonitrile in the eluent was gradually increased to 40% in 15 min and then kept for 1 min. Thereafter, the eluent was returned to 100% of 20 mM KH2PO4 and maintained for 10 min. Calibration curves were made with 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 5.0, 10, 20 and 50 mM solutions.

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.
