The L- and D-DOPA (≥98%, CP) were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (Beijing, China). Hydrochloric acid (HCl), sodium hydroxide (NaOH), sodium chloride (NaCl), phosphate, and potassium chloride (96%, AR) were obtained from Tianjin Kemiou Chemical Reagent Co., Ltd. (Tianjin, China). Phosphate buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.4; 10 mM phosphate, 138 mM sodium chloride, and 2.7 mM potassium chloride) was used as a flowing buffer. The water used in all experiments was prepared by a three-stage Millipore Milli-Q Plus 185 purification system (Millipore Corp., Bedford, MA) and had a resistivity of 18 MΩ cm. The pH values of all solutions were measured with an MP220 pH meter (Mettler Toledo, Switzerland). All solutions were filtered using a 0.22 µm syringe filter before use. Phosphate buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.4; 10 mM phosphate, 138 mM sodium chloride and 2.7 mM potassium chloride) was prepared in our laboratory. The buffers’ pH values were measured using an MP220 pH meter (Mettler Toledo, Switzerland). Ultrapure deionized water was produced by a Milli-Q water purification system (Millipore Corporation, Billerica, MA, USA).

Assessing Moisture and Salt Content in Sausage

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Measurement of water activity (aw) was performed by the Aqualab instrument CX/2 (Series 3, Decagon Devices, Inc., Pullman, WA, USA). Samples (10 g) were randomly obtained from the sausage (batter section). Moisture (g water/100 g sample) was measured by drying a 3 g sample at 100 °C to constant weight [5 ], and the pH values were obtained using a MP 220 pH meter (Mettler-Toledo, Columbus, OH, USA).
The weight loss of “Mortadella di Campotosto”-like samples during drying was gravimetrically determined and calculated as shown in the following Equation (1):
where m0 is the weight of sausage obtained after filling and mt is the weight of the sausages after a specific processing time (0, 6, 11, 18, 30, 45, and 120 days).
The measurements of moisture were performed by air oven drying [6 ], while for the NaCl content, the method of Volhard (ISO 1841-2: 1996) was used [7 ].

Extract content (% w/w) was measured with a Densito 30 PX Density Meter produced by Mettler-Toledo company (Greifensee, Switzerland). The wort and meads samples were centrifuged before measuring the extract using an MPW-351R laboratory centrifuge (2675 centrifugal force (RCF), 6000 rpm, 10 min) by MPW MED. INSTRUMENTS company (Warszawa, Poland). Extract content was measured in the resultant supernatant at a temperature of 20 °C. The pH value was analyzed with an MP 220 pH meter by Mettler Toledo company (Greifensee, Switzerland).

Collagen type I (stock concentration of 5.82
mg/mL in 0.1 M acetic acid) was isolated from muscle tendon of mice
by Arthro-Anda Tianjin Biologic Technology Co., Ltd. (Tianjin, China).
Bovine serum albumin (BSA) (closely related to human serum albumin
in structure, size, and composition) and γ-globulin were obtained
from Aladdin (Shanghai, China). 1,2-Dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3 phosphatidylcholine (DPPC, 16:0) was purchased from Sigma-Aldrich
(Tianjin, China) with >99% purity. The PBS buffer was prepared
by
the formula (137 mM NaCl, 10 mM phosphate salt, and 2.7 mM KCl) at
pH 7.4 confirmed using a pH meter and stored at 4 °C before use.
The water used in all the experiments was purified using a three-stage
Millipore Milli-Q Plus 185 purification system (Millipore Corp., Bedford,
MA). The pH values of all the solutions used were determined using
an MP220 pH meter (Mettler-Toledo, Switzerland). All the solutions
were filtered using syringe filters with 0.22 μm-diameter pores.

Distilled water (50 mL) was added to 10 g of sample and homogenized (Stomacher 400 Circulator lab blender, Seward Ltd.) for 2 min. The pH of the homogenate was measured using a pH meter (MP220 pH Meter, METTLER TOLEDO) equipped with a thermostat.

Measuring Xylem Sap Properties in Plants

The collection of xylem sap and the measurement of leaf/stem WP (Boyer, 1967 (link)) and xylem sap pH were conducted between 2 and 7 h from photoperiod start. Xylem sap was collected either from leaf (N. tabacum) or stems (P. sativum, H. vulgare, and V. faba) using a pressure chamber (PWSC 3005, Soilmoisture Equipment Corp., Santa Barbara, CA, United States). Sap was sampled from the second or third fully developed leaf of N. tabacum. After cutting, the cut surface of the petiole/stem was rinsed with distilled water to remove contaminants from the cut cells and the petiole/stem was sealed in the pressure chamber. The first drop of xylem sap was discarded and the pressure was noted as the WP. Pressure was gradually increased up to approx. Around 0.2 MPa above the balancing pressure and 10–40 μl of xylem sap was collected from each leaf (or shoot) over approximately 10 min. The pH of xylem sap was taken by a pH microelectrode (Microelectrodes Inc., Bedford, MA, United States) connected to an MP220 pH meter (Mettler Toledo, Switzerland). Samples were stored at −20°C immediately after pH measurement, until further analysis.

The effect of the pH on the coagulation activity of cynara was studied. The pH of the milk was adjusted to the following values: 5.3; 5.8; 6.3 and 6.8. The measurement of pH of the milk was made using pH meter using an MP 220 pH meter (Mettler‐Toledo GmbH). The measurement was carried out by introducing the two sensors (pH and temperature) in a milk sample preheated to a temperature of 20–25°C. The clotting activity was measured for each pH value.

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.
