The scanning electron microscope can also be used to monitor the preparation of poUshed sections. This can be accomplished by producing images of specimen surfaces after various preparation stages (Fig. 15). 

Food additives (like color additives) can be added at various processing stages, but the additions are commonly made at the latest production stage before final marketing to ensure optimal functionality of the additive in the product as sold. Residues of additives used at earlier production stages may be present still in the final formulation. However, if they do not have further functions at that stage, they are considered process aids (to help preparation but without technological effects in the finished product) and are not indicated on labels. Some additives also decompose over time so that the levels present at the end of shelf life may be quite low. Several techniques and information sources can be used to assess contamination levels of chemicals ... 

A method of beer production is described that involves using additives from Jerusalem artichoke (aqueous extracts from tubers or aboveground plant parts, or dry powders prepared from various parts of Jerusalem artichoke or its extracts). They are here introduced at various possible stages during the brewing process. The method produces a new type of beer with increased biological value, due to enrichment with inulin and other biologically active components from Jerusalem artichoke. 

The preparation of pure antibody for human therapeutic use is a long process that commences by in vitro use and last for several years of intensive work at various clinical stages. Risks related to the noneffectiveness of the antibody for the target application are relatively high at the early stage of the project. In this context, it would be irrational to search at the beginning for an optimized sophisticated separation and purification process to make the antibody at a large scale. 

These direct ion sources exist under two types liquid-phase ion sources and solid-state ion sources. In liquid-phase ion sources the analyte is in solution. This solution is introduced, by nebulization, as droplets into the source where ions are produced at atmospheric pressure and focused into the mass spectrometer through some vacuum pumping stages. Electrospray, atmospheric pressure chemical ionization and atmospheric pressure photoionization sources correspond to this type. In solid-state ion sources, the analyte is in an involatile deposit. It is obtained by various preparation methods which frequently involve the introduction of a matrix that can be either a solid or a viscous fluid. This deposit is then irradiated by energetic particles or photons that desorb ions near the surface of the deposit. These ions can be extracted by an electric field and focused towards the analyser. Matrix-assisted laser desorption, secondary ion mass spectrometry, plasma desorption and field desorption sources all use this strategy to produce ions. Fast atom bombardment uses an involatile liquid matrix. 

Most of the measurements that have been made of the depth of the deformed layer produced by various preparation procedures are of doubtful significance for one or both of two reasons. Firstly, it. is not certain that the layer investigated is representative of the procedure concerned and free from the residuals of layers produced at early stages of preparation. Secondly, no information is available on the sensitivity of the method used to detect deformation this can have a considerable influence on the depth value determined (see Fig. 5), although the results of any one investigation may still be comparative within themselves. 

Ni and Mo ions were deposited into HBEA and HY zeolites, then sulfided. The solids were characterized at all preparation stages by various methods, notably by MAS-NMR, FT-IR, and TEM-EDX. The catalytic bifunctional properties were determined in the hydroconversion of benzene (8 MPa H2, 1 h", 240-360°C). With both zeolites, about half of the Ni-Mo is located in cavities and mesopores, but the internal NiMo is better sulfided with the nanocrystalline BEA zeolite. Catalyst NiMoS/BEA was much more active and slightly more selective for hydrogenation than NiMoS/Y. 

For cationic potato starches from various preparation technologies (slurry, paste, semi-dry, extruder), similar effects have been found Wet procedures enable an even distribution over the whole granule or dissolved material, whereas dry procedures are more harsh and cause a less-selective reaction in the outer parts of the granules. In the extender, where plasticization and reaction of the starch occur more or less simultaneously, regioselectivity of this kinetically controlled oxirane addition is drastically decreased, especially in the very early stage of the reaction. ... 

Analysis of plants normally involves a sample preparation stage such as extraction or distillation followed by analysis with gas chromatography or liquid chromatography. The common methods used currently for the isolation of essential oils from natural products are steam distillation and solvent extraction (Ozel Kaymaz, 2004). Losses of some volatile compounds, low extraction efficiency, degradation of xmsaturated compounds through thermal or hydrolytic effects, and toxic solvent residue in the extract may be encountered with these extraction methods. Recently, more efficient extraction methods, such as supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) (Simandi et al., 1998) and accelerated solvent extraction (ASE) (Schafer, 1998) have been used for the isolation of organic compounds from various plants. Subcritical or superheated water extraction (SWE) is non-toxic, readily available, cheap, safe, non-flammable and is a recyclable option. 

Liquids represent a simple and convenient physical form and various thickening agents based on acrylic polymer chemistry are available in this form. Two main routes for producing such liquids are known. Firstly, a water-in-oil polymerisation process can be used for the preparation of polymers that are directly soluble in water. Alternatively, an oil-in-water emulsion process is used where the polymer composition is chosen to be water insoluble during the preparation stage, but which can be made water soluble by a neutralisation reaction after polymerisation has been completed. More specific information on these two key processes is given in the following sections. 

To elucidate the mechanism(s) underlying the discordance, Murakami and Tazima compared the metabolic activation potentialities of these two insects using the mutagenicity to Salmonella as a criterion. In this experiment, microsome fractions of the silkworm were prepared from the whole-body homogenates of silkworms at various developmental stages. The technique was almost the same as that reported by Ames et except that no enzymatic... 

Regulatory proteins affect the functional status of the nucleus. This can occur through the control of the transcriptional activity of the chromatin. Chromatin and DNA extracted from Rana pipiens embryos at various developmental stages demonstrate (without additional RNA-polymerase) comparatively low transcriptional activity. This activity decreases from the gastrula stage to the stage of actively feeding larvae. The addition of RNA-polymerase to the chromatin preparation leads to increased transcription (Table 30).
