Rapana venosa as a bioindicator of environmental pollution
PublicationPrzedmiotem badań było porównanie wartości liczbowych parametrów biochemicznych organizmów mięczaka Rapana venosa pochodzących z obszarów zanieczyszczonych i czystych w bułgarskiej strefie przybrzeżnej Morza Czarnego. Oznaczano zawartość związków bioaktywnych (polifenole, białka) oraz poziom aktywności przeciwutleniającej. Występujące różnice mogą być podstawą do stwierdzenia, że mięczaki Rapana venosa mogą być wykorzystywane...

The emissions of monoaromatic hydrocarbons from small polymeric toys placed in chocolate food products
PublicationThe article presents findings on the emissions of selected monoaromatic hydrocarbons from children's toys placed in chocolate food products. The emission test system involved the application of a new type of microscale stationary emission chamber, μ-CTE™ 250. In order to determine the type of the applied polymer in the manufacture of the tested toys, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis coupled...

Analysis of Rainfall Data of Gdansk Meteorological Station
PublicationW pracy przedstawiono wyniki analizy danych opadowych z okresu 51 lat (1951-2008) ze stacji meteorologicznej w Gdańsku. Analizę przeprowadzono zarówno dla sum rocznych opadów jak i sezonowych i miesięcznych. Dokonano również analizy maksymalnych sum dobowych opadów dla każdego miesiąca, badając ich zmienność w wieloleciu.

Aromagrams - aromatic profiles in the appreciation of food quality
PublicationW ostatnich latach obserwuje się coraz powszechniejsze stosowanie analizy instrumentalnej do oceny jakości organoleptycznej produktów spożywczych. Nowe podejście polega na tworzeniu profili zapachowych, swego rodzaju "aromagramów" charakterystycznych dla danego produktu. Do najczęściej stosowanych technik pozwalających na tworzenie i rozpoznawanie "aromagramów" należą techniki chromatograficzne, w szczególności chromatografia gazowa...

Monosubstituted hydrazone β-cyclodextrin derivatives for pH-sensitive complex formation with aromatic drugs
PublicationA new and convenient synthetic pathway was developed to produce monosubstituted cyclodextrins with high yields. Each of the β-cyclodextrin derivatives described in this work has an aromatic substituent connected with cyclodextrin core by a pH-sensitive hydrazone linker and a carbon chain. Carbon chains differ in lengths having one or three carbon atoms. The correlation between water solubility and linker length was determined using...
