Phospholipid Extraction from Butter and Whey

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To prepare the phospholipid-enriched component, butter serums powder A and B were
purchased from Corman (Limbourg, Belgium), and whey serum WPC60 and WPC70 were
purchased from Agropur Inc. (Saint-Hubert, Quebec, Canada). Polar lipids
extraction was performed using 85%, 90%, and 95% ethanol
solution (60 L), instead of water, and powdered butter serums or whey serums (10
kg). Extraction was performed for 5 h, with stirring at 80–100 rpm at
60°C. After extraction, the mixture was separated into filtrate and
precipitate using a 0.45 μm membrane filter (Whatman, Little Chalfont,
UK). The filtrate was concentrated using a forced thin-film evaporator (EYELA,
Tokyo, Japan). After concentration, the mixture was allowed to stand at
40°C for 30 min, and phospholipids and triacylglycerol were separated
into an upper layer and a lower layer. The upper layer was used as the enriched
polar lipid fraction.

Isolation and Purification of B. pseudomallei Phage

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Hemoculture bottles that were positive for B. pseudomallei were collected and kept at 4°C until phage isolation. After centrifugation at 8,000× g for 10 min, 10 mL of the hemocultures was aspirated and filtered through a 0.45-μm membrane filter (Whatman, United Kingdom) to remove cell debris. Then, the filtrated samples were stored at 4°C until phage screening by spot assay, following the method previously described by Clokie and Kropinski (2009) with some modifications. Essentially, 10 μL of the filtrate hemoculture samples were spotted onto the LB top agar (0.35%) containing B. thailandensis strain E174 before incubation at 37°C for 16–18 h. The next day, a single clear plaque was picked by using a sterile end-cut-yellow pipette tip. Then, the pipette tip was put into a microcentrifuge tube containing 1 mL of SM buffer (100 mM NaCl, 8 mM MgSO4·7H2O, 50 mM Tris–HCl, pH 7.5) and swirled to release the piece of agar into the buffer. The collected sample was maintained at 4°C until the next step of purification by double agar overlay plaque assay.

Quantification of Isoflavones and Anthocyanins in Black Soybean Seeds

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To determine the isoflavone contents, the black soybean seeds were ground (230 mesh) and extracted with 50% methanol in a shaking incubator at 25 °C for 48 h (pulverized seeds: 1 g, 50% methanol: 20 mL). The crude supernatants were filtered through a 0.45 μm membrane filter (Whatman Inc., Maidstone, USA) prior to HPLC analysis. To evaluate anthocyanins, the seed coats (0.5 g) were extracted with 1% HCl of 50% methanol (10 mL) for 3 days at 4 °C, in the dark, and then filtered through filter paper (Whatman No. 42). The mixture solution was filtered with a syringe filter (0.45 μm) before HPLC analysis. The preparation of calibration curves was conducted according to methods of preivous literatures (Cho et al., 2013 , Lee and Cho, 2012 ). In brief, the peak areas of the isoflavone and anthocyanin standards were integrated from the HPLC chromatograms at 254 nm (isoflavone) and 330 nm (anthocyanin), and plotted on the concentrations to create a linear curve. Each standard (2 mg) was prepared by dissolving in DMSO (isoflavone) and 0.1% TFA with DMSO (anthocyanin) to gain a 1 mg/mL concentration and their calibration curves were manufactured using eight concentrations (400, 200, 100, 50, 10, 5, 1, 0.5 μg/mL). All curves were obtained the high linearity (r2 > 0.998).
