shelving Fish skins constitute an important fraction of the enormous amount of wastes produced by the fish processing industry, part of which may be valorized through the extraction of gelatins.This research exploited the extraction and characterization of gelatins from the skin of three seawater fish species, namely yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacar
Omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFAs), such as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) (20:5n-3) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) (22:6n-3), are considered essential for human health.Microorganisms are the primary producers of omega-3 fatty acids in marine ecosystems, representing a sustainable source of these lipids, as an alternative to the
Abstract Eicosanoids are major players in the pathogenesis of several common diseases, with either overproduction or imbalance (e.g.between thromboxanes and prostacyclins) often leading to worsening of disease symptoms.Both the total rate of eicosanoid production and the balance between eicosanoids with opposite effects are strongly dependent on di
The relative importance of income earning potential versus consumptive values in setting ranchland prices is examined using a truncated hedonic PH Test Strips model.The market value of New Mexico ranches is related to annual income earning potential and other ranch characteristics including ranch size, location, elevation, terrain, and the amount o
Weed species easily establish in crops with a similar life cycle.Especially mono-cropping provides best conditions for such weeds.In maize this is true for Echinochloa crus-galli, which is a C4 plant and one of the worst weeds worldwide.In Germany E.crus-galli is one of the few typical weed species in maize.When recurrent herbicide treatments are a
