A single-step selective separation of two food additives was investigated using alcohol-salt aqueous two-phase systems (ATPS). The selective partitioning of two of the most used additives from a processed food waste material, vanillin and l-ascorbic acid, was successfully accomplished. The
A method for the determination of food additive vanillin was developed by adsorptive stripping voltammetry. Its determination was carried out at the anodically pre-treated boron-doped diamond electrode in aqueous solutions. Using square-wave stripping mode, the compound yielded a well-defined voltammetric

SOD mimics with varying coligand are momentous in developing potential chemotherapeutic drugs. Cu(II) based SOD mimics 1-4 [CuLH(OAc)(H(2)O)Y)] (LH = 2-((E)-(1,3-dihydroxy-2-methylpropan-2-ylimino)methyl)-6-methoxyphenol, OAc = CH(3)COO, 1: Y = H(2)O; 2: Y = phen (1,10-phenanthroline), 3: Y = tpimH (2,4,5-triphenylimidazole); 4: Y

Overproduction of a desired metabolite is often achieved via manipulation of the pathway directly leading to the product or through engineering of distant nodes within the metabolic network. Empirical examples illustrating the combined effect of these local and global strategies
Vanillin (4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde) is an important flavour and aroma molecule, but is also of interest because of its biogenetic relationship to the phenylpropanoid pathway and to other molecules of physiological significance, notably salicylate. Recent progress towards characterisation of the biosynthesis of
