Tylosin, an antibiotic used for maintaining livestock health, is a macrolide structurally similar to a number of important, often prescribed human antibiotics. Because of this relationship, tylosin presents a potential threat of antimicrobial resistance from environmental buildup. This work inve...

Tylosin (Tyl) is a veterinary antibiotic commonly used in swine and poultry production. Due to metabolic inefficiencies, it enters the environment through manure applications. Ion exchange is an important retention mechanism for Tyl, particularly for smectite clay. The objectives of this study a...

Antibiotics administered to livestock are partly excreted with urine and feces. As livestock excrement is used as manure on agricultural fields, soil may be contaminated by excreted antibiotics, potentially resulting in the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Therefore, it is necessary...

Ovalbumin (OVA) is a good emulsifier; however, its emulsifying properties are easily affected by food components. In this study, tannic acid (TA) was used as a model polyphenol to interact with OVA. The OVA-TA complexes were characterized with circular dichroism, dynamic light scattering and int...

This paper presented a study of the interaction between tannic acid and chitosan in flocculation process at molecular level. Gallic acid (GA) was selected as tannic monomer and dimer chitosan was selected as the chitosan for simulation based on the density functional theory. Molecular electrosta...

Water purification provides a feasible way to relieve the pressure of water shortage and water pollution which we are facing and adsorption is one of the most effective ways to turn polluted water into clean water. Here, we prepared graphene-tannic acid hydrogel using graphene oxide and tannic a...

Polyphenols like tannic acid, and others, adsorb spontaneously to the surface of a vast repertoire of materials to coat them with a conformal and functional thin film. Since polyphenols can be oxidized, their deposition can also be controlled at the surface of conductive materials. Since the oxi...

Corrosion behavior of unrusted Q235 carbon steel was investigated in 3.5% NaCl solutions with 1–5 wt% tannic acid addition, using electrochemical methods including electrochemical impedance spectra (EIS), potentiodynamic polarization and scanning vibrating electrode technique (SVET) combined wi...

Waste activated sludge (WAS), containing biological pathogens, chemical elements and high moisture (>99%), was generated continually from municipal sewage treatment plants. Sludge dewatering could diminish the volume of WAS and control the diffusion of environmental pollution efficiently. In thi...

Tannic acid (TA), a phenolic compound, may be considered as a sludge conditioning agent on account of its ability to precipitate protein. In this study, the effectiveness of TA conditioning on enhancing waste activated sludge (WAS) dewatering was investigated at various pH values. The results in...

Natural polymers can be used to produce materials for biomedical application. In this study, polymeric blends based on chitosan and tannic acid in the form of thin films were obtained. They were characterized for the potential application as wound dressings. Thereby, the thermal stability, maxim...

We report a novel pH-dependent dye-sensitized solar cells by using tannic acid and Fe-tannic acid complex. We have synthesized TiO2 nanoparticles by microwave hydrothermal method, and TiO2 photoanode has been developed via doctor blade technique. The TiO2 nanoparticles and photoanode were charac...

The design and obtainment of bio-based materials is in the interest of many research groups. Chitosan and tannic acid are natural and biodegradable polymers. In the present study, they are proposed as raw materials for production of packaging materials. The present study involves the surface fre...

A new sulfonamide, sulfacytine, was compared in a double-blind study with sulfisoxazole for the treatment of acute uncomplicated urinary tract infection in 98 outpatients. Patients received either 4 gm. sulfisoxazole or 1 gm. sulfacytine daily for 10 days. Evaluation was made of the bacteriologi...

A new sulfonamide, sulfacytine, was compared in a double-blind study with sulfisoxazole in 132 patients with uncomplicated urinary tract infections. At the doses used, I Gm. per day of sulfacytine or 4 Gm. per day of sulfisoxazole, bacteriologic success (decrease of pathogenic organisms from ⪖ 1...

Saffron is appreciated by its colour, taste, and aroma. To examine the effect of abiotic and biotic stress on these main properties, in the span of 2014–2016, saffron stigmas were collected from major different saffron cultivation areas of Iran and saffron quality was estimated. The quality of ...

Saffron (Crocus sativus L.) is a valuable herbal plant, and is widely used as a spice, food colorant, and medicine. In this study, variations in total polysaccharides, crocin contents, and antioxidant activities (DPPH, OH, O2- radical-scavenging and reducing power) of saffron from seven differen...

Saffron (Crocus sativus), one of the most expensive herbs in China, has been subject to various types of adulteration as a consequence of its high price and limited production. The present work describes a sensitive, efficient and simple technique for on-site saffron identification. Recombinase ...

ObjectiveSaffron as a natural product has long been used to impede and treat different disorders including cardiovascular disease (CVDs). Stigma is the most principal part of saffron. Various compounds such as carotenoids and flavonoids are the essential components of saffron stigma. The health ...

BackgroundDespite several studies about the effects of saffron supplementation on serum concentrations of lipid and glucose profiles, no systematic study had summarized the findings. Therefore, we conduct current study to systematically summarize findings from studies about the effect of saffron...
