The selenium content of Turkish diets was determined by Zeeman effect graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GFAAS). Samples, collected from two different socioeconomic groups by duplicate portion technique, were digested with concentrated nitric acid in acid bombs, and hydrogen peroxide was added for complete oxidation. The digested solutions were then analyzed by GFAAS with the nickel chemical modifier addition. The detection limit for Se(VI) was 10.5 ng/mL for aqueous standard solutions. Average selenium concentrations of 0.069 +/- 0.030 and 0.113 +/- 0.036 mg/kg were obtained for the rural population group LALAHAN (n = 6) and for the urban population group METU (n = 10) samples, respectively. Daily dietary intakes of selenium were found as 23 +/- 13-mu-g/day for LALAHAN subjects and 57 +/- 31-mu-g/day for the urban population group (METU). The selenium intake for the first group is lower than the range of safe and adequate intake value, 50-200-mu-g/day, while that of the second group is just within the range.

PHYTATE CONTENT OF TAIWANESE DIET DETERMINED BY P-31 FOURIER-TRANSFORM NUCLEAR-MAGNETIC-RESONANCE SPECTROSCOPY WANG, CF; TSAY, SM; LEE, CY; LIU, SM; ARAS, NK (American Chemical Society (ACS), 1992-06-01) Phytate and trace element concentrations of the total daily diet of upper social groups in Taiwan were determined by P-31 FT NMR spectroscopy and by instrumental neutron activation analysis, respectively. Results of 15 samples are 2.21 +/- 0.71 g of phytate/kg of dry diet with the range 1.07-3.76 g/kg. The molar ratios of phytate to Zn and Ca were calculated, and bioavailabilities of these elements are discussed.
SUPERCRITICAL-FLUID EXTRACTION OF CARBOXYLIC AND FATTY-ACIDS FROM AGARICUS SPP MUSHROOMS ABDULLAH, MI; YOUNG, JC; GAMES, DE (American Chemical Society (ACS), 1994-03-01) Material obtained by the CO2 supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) of the wild and cultivated mushrooms Agaricus silvicola and Agaricus bisporus, respectively, was analyzed by g chromatography (GC)-mass spectrometry and GC-Fourier transform infrared spectrometry. SFE gave results comparable with classical extraction techniques for free fatty acids and esters but with fewer manipulative steps and also resulted in the characterization of acids not previously reported from these sources. The organic acids ident...
Analysis of cellulase and polyphenol oxidase production by southern pine beetle associated fungi Valiev, Abduvali; Ögel, Zümrüt Begüm; Klepzig, Kier D. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2009-09-01) In this study, the production of extracellular enzymes by fungi associated with southern pine beetle was investigated for the first time. Cellulase and polyphenol oxidase production were analyzed for three beetle associated fungi. Only the mutualistic symbiont Entomocorticium sp. A was found to produce cellulases and polyphenol oxidase. In time course analyses of cellulase production in batch cultures, Entomocorticium sp. A showed maximum activity of 0.109 U/ml and 0.141 U/ml for total cellulase and endoglu...
ANALYSIS OF DIFFUSION AND SORPTION OF CHLORINATED HYDROCARBONS IN SOIL BY SINGLE-PELLET MOMENT TECHNIQUE CABBAR, C; DOGU, G; Doğu, Timur; MCCOY, BJ; SMITH, JM (American Chemical Society (ACS), 1994-07-01) The single-pellet moment technique was shown to be a powerful method for investigating the diffusion and adsorption of volatile hydrocarbons in the soil. The technique was used to evaluate effective diffusivities, adsorption equilibrium, and rate constants of chlorinated hydrocarbons (monochloroethane, 1,2-dichloroethane, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, and 1,1,2-trichloroethane). Results obtained in a dry system showed that adsorption rate constants of all these hydrocarbons on the soil pellet used are of the same ...
Changes in Free Amino Acid and Sugar Levels of Dried Figs during Aflatoxin B(1) Production by Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus Senyuva, Hamide Z.; Gilbert, John; Ozturkoglu, Sebnem; Özcan Kabasakal, Süreyya; Gurel, Neslihan (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2008-10-22) An aqueous slurry of gamma-irradiated sterilized dried figs was inoculated with toxigenic strains of Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus. During incubation at 28 degrees C, pH, fructose, glucose, and free amino acids were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography and liquid chromatography (LC)/mass spectrometry, respectively, over 13 time points (1-20 days). At the same 13 time points using a LC/time-of-flight mass spectrometry screening method, aflatoxin B, and other secondary metabol...
