Example 6

Into a LABORAN screw tube jar No. 7 (manufactured by AS ONE Corporation), 9.5 g of the powderizing agent A and 0.5 g of Vanillin (manufactured by Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.) were placed. These were kept at 60° C. for 0.5 hours and completely melt for mixing. Here, the amount of the liquid component used was 5% by mass relative to the total mass of the powder composition (powderizing agent A+liquid component). Next, the mixture was cooled in a 10° C.-thermostatic chamber for 0.5 hours (tempering process) and then was allowed to stand in a 20° C.-thermostatic chamber for 12 hours. Thus, a powder composition having voids with an increased volume was obtained.

The characteristics of the obtained powder composition were as follows.

loose bulk density: 0.3 g/cm3

average particle diameter: 140 μm

expansion ratio: ×2.9

As illustrated in FIG. 2, the powder composition obtained in Example 6 was in the form of powder.

Examples 7 to 9 employed an orange dye (hydrophobic dye) as the liquid component.

Example 4

Into a LABORAN screw tube jar No. 7 (manufactured by AS ONE Corporation), 9.9 g of the powderizing agent A and 0.1 g of Vanillin (manufactured by Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.) were placed.

Olfactory Function Evaluation via Vanillin

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A two-bottle preference test using vanillin was conducted as a behavioral test to evaluate olfactory function [31 (link)]. The 0.1% vanillin solution did not induce a gustatory response and the rodents tended to dislike the smell of vanillin. Therefore, an increase in the consumption rate of 0.1% aqueous vanillin solution would imply a decrease in olfactory function [32 ]. Bottles containing only distilled water and bottles containing vanillin-water (0.1% vanillin [FUJIFILM Wako Pure Chemical Corporation] dissolved in distilled water) were placed in the cages, and bottle positions were changed daily. Bottle content intake was measured every other week, and avoidance was calculated by dividing normal water intake by the sum of normal water intake and vanillin-water intake. An avoidance ratio close to 100% indicates healthy olfactory function, whereas an avoidance ratio close to 50% indicates that the animals drank the two waters equally and were unable to distinguish the smell of vanillin. In other words, the rats were in a state of olfactory dysfunction.

Example 5

Into a LABORAN screw tube jar No. 7 (manufactured by AS ONE Corporation), 9.7 g of the powderizing agent A and 0.3 g of Vanillin (manufactured by Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.) were placed. These were kept at 60° C. for 0.5 hours and completely melt for mixing. Here, the amount of the liquid component used was 3% by mass relative to the total mass of the powder composition (powderizing agent A+liquid component). Next, the mixture was cooled in a 10° C.-thermostatic chamber for 0.5 hours (tempering process) and then was allowed to stand in a 20° C.-thermostatic chamber for 12 hours. Thus, a powder composition having voids with an increased volume was obtained.

The characteristics of the obtained powder composition were as follows.

loose bulk density: 0.3 g/cm3

average particle diameter: 139 μm

expansion ratio: ×2.7

As illustrated in FIG. 2, the powder composition obtained in Example 5 was in the form of powder.

Vanillin Quantification and Microscopy

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Vanillin, furfural, and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) were obtained from Wako (Osaka, Japan). Cycloheximide (CHX) was purchased from Nacalai Tesque, Kyoto, Japan. Stock solutions of 2 M Vanillin, 2 M furfural, and 20 mg/ml CHX were prepared in DMSO and stored at -30°C. Vanillin levels in SD medium were assayed by the methods of Fitzgerald et al. (2003) (link). Briefly, after spinning down cells, the supernatant was separated using a linear gradient elution of 10–45% acetonitrile in 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC; Shimadzu, Kyoto, Japan) equipped with a C18 reversed-phase column, TSKgel ODS-100S (4.6 mm × 150 mm; Tosoh, Tokyo, Japan). The column was maintained at 40°C. The eluted compounds were detected at 280 nm. A Leica AF6500 (Leica Microsystems Vertrieb GmbH, Germany) fluorescence microscopic system was used for the microscopic analysis. Cells treated with Vanillin were immediately observed without fixation. All experiments were repeated at least three times.

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.
