摘要:
A process for the extraction of the B group of vitamins from a first plant matter is disclosed wherein, prior to the said extraction operation, the first plant matter is treated with a second plant matter comprising acidic compounds. The acidification converts the vitamins into more water-soluble forms and increases the yield thereof. In one example, the first plant matter comprises guava fruit matter, holy basil leaves and lemon peels, the two last-mentioned plant species being the source of the acidic compounds. The vitamins extracted and the proportions thereof may be controlled by suitable choice of the plant species constituting the first and second plant matters and their quantities, such as to give a substantially ready formulation conforming to RDA values or other requirements. The vitamins extracted are B1, B2, B3, B5, B6 and B9, the above combination of plant matters giving a higher yield than others. The process is of general applicability to other plant constituents.
摘要:
Biodegradable dextran based hydrogel suitable for biomedical application is produced by subjecting polysaccharide substituted with unsaturated moiety, e.g. dextran methacrylate, in aqueous medium to UV or visible light irradiation in the precense of riboflavin/L-arginine or riboflavin/chitosan to cause photocrosslinking of polysaccharide substituted with unsaturated moiety.
摘要:
The present invention relates to an improved process for preparing riboflavin of the B/C modification in granule form. Furthermore, the invention relates to the riboflavin preparation process wherein riboflavin of the A modification is (a) dissolved in aqueous mineral acid without treating the resulting riboflavin solution with activated carbon, (b) precipitated directly afterwards, steps (a) and (b) being carried out at a temperature in the range from 5 to 15° C., and (c) dried by fluidized bed granulation; and wherein the riboflavin does not come into contact with the aqueous mineral acid solvent for longer than on average 4 hours.
摘要:
Methods are provided for neutralization of microorganisms in fluids or on surfaces. Preferably the fluids contain blood or blood products and comprise biologically active proteins. Preferred methods include the steps of adding an activation-effective amount of a microorganism neutralizer with an isoalloxazine backbone to a fluid and exposing the fluid to a triggering event. Preferred triggering events include light of a suitable wavelength and intensity to activate the microorganism neutralizer or a pH sufficient to activate the microorganism neutralizer. Other fluids, including juices, water and the like, may also be decontaminated by these methods as may surfaces of foods, animal carcasses, wounds, food preparation surfaces and bathing and washing vessel surfaces. Compounds with an isoalloxazine backbone are also provided.

摘要:
A modifying agent for a conductive substrate which comprises a flavin derivative represented by the formula: ##STR1## wherein R1 represents a hydrogen atom or an acyl groups, R2 and R3 each represent a hydrogen atom or a lower alkyl group having one to four carbon atoms, and R4 represents a thiocyanato group or a mercapto group.
摘要:
Very pure riboflavin (I) is obtained by a process in which the riboflavin is dissolved in dilute aqueous alkali metal hydroxide solution, if necessary the alkaline solution is purified by treatment with active carbon or with a solvent which is insoluble or only slightly soluble in water, the resulting alkaline solution of I is introduced into water which is at 90.degree.-100.degree. C. and to which an acid has been added in an amount such that the reaction mixture is brought to a pH of from 6.5 to 0.8, the temperature being maintained at from 40.degree. to 100.degree. C., the reaction mixture is kept at from 90.degree. to 100.degree. C. for from 10 to 80 minutes and cooled, and I is then isolated.
摘要:
An improved process for the purification of crude riboflavin which has been prepared by condensation of an N-(D)-ribityl-2-arylazo-4,5-dimethylaniline and barbituric acid or another N-(D)-ribityl-4,5-dimethyl-aniline derivative with a barbituric acid derivative, by dissolving the crude riboflavin in sulfuric acid or phosphoric acid which has been diluted with water and oxidizing the impurities by treating the solution with hydrogen peroxide, or by dissolving the riboflavin in dilute nitric acid at elevated temperature and then isolating the pure riboflavin by precipitation with water, wherein the mineral acid solution of the riboflavin and the oxidizing agent or the solution of the riboflavin in 20 to 70% strength by weight nitric acid is heated extremely rapidly to a temperature at which the solution clearly changes color from greenish to yellow-orange, the solution is kept at this temperature for from 1 to 50, seconds and the oxidation reaction is then interrupted by addition of water.The best results are achieved in this process if from 20 to 65% strength by weight nitric acid is used simultaneously as the acid and oxidative agent and if, after the change in color, the mineral acid solution, in particular the nitric acid solution, is passed, immediately or after prior interruption of the oxidation reaction by addition of cold water, into hot water at from 90.degree. to 100.degree. C. and the suspension thereby formed is kept at this temperature for about a further 10-30 minutes.
