This hinders their use in pharmacology and medicine. This study quantifies the content of the main groups of biologically active substances in the aboveground part of the Sempervivoideae at the beginning and end of the vegetation period. Freshly harvested vegetative shoots of the following species (raw materials) were examined: Aizopsis aizoon (L.) Grulich, Aizopsis hybrida (L.) Grulich, Aizopsis kurilensis (Vorosch.) S. Gontch., Hylotelephium ewersii (Ledeb.) H. Ohba, Sedum acre L., Sedum album L., Sedum hispanicum L., Sedum reflexum L., Sedum rupestre L. and Sedum spurium M. Bieb. Conventional methods of phytochemical analysis were used. The solid content was determined by drying 1 g of raw materials to a constant weight. The amount of phenolic compounds, pectin substances and total sugars was determined by the spectrophotometric method in ethanolic extracts by calculating the indicators relative to the solid mass of the raw materials. Titrimetric analysis was used to determine the concentration of ascorbic acid in the wet weight of the raw material. The content of solid (7.22–18.98%), catechins (0.14–6.01 mg%), flavonols (0.59–3.11%), tannins (4.44–26.73%), pectins (0.14–3.51%), protopectins (3.10–11.82%), total sugars (10.25–57.96%) and ascorbic acid (43.4–94.4 mg%) was determined. The tendency to accumulate phenolic compounds, sugars and solids, along with a decrease in the content of pectin polysaccharides, by the end of the vegetation was revealed. The results indicate the potential for the cultivation of Sempervivoideae as a source of various bioactive compounds.","PeriodicalId":20677,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of Universities.

Pine pollen was collected in June 2021 at natural sites on the southeastern coast of Lake Baikal. The mass fraction of crude protein was determined by the Kjeldahl method; the protein composition and individual amino acid content were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography with post-column modification of ninhydrin on an LA8080 automatic analyser (Hitachi, Japan). The crude protein content of the pollen was 14.38–15.94%. Pine pollen protein is shown to contain 17 amino acids, including 9 essential amino acids: valine, isoleucine, leucine, threonine, methionine, phenylalanine, lysine, histidine, and arginine. The content of the sum of amino acids was 141.4–156.5 mg/g, including essential amino acids 45.9-48.4%. The following amino acids are dominant in Pinus sylvestris and Pinus sibirica pollens (mg/g): monoaminodicarboxylic acids – glutamic (21.3–24.2) and aspartic (13.0–14.2), diaminocarboxylic acid arginine (17.0–17.4) and heterocyclic amino acid proline (14.7–16.2). The obtained results can be useful in the development of drugs and biologically active additives based on pollen Pinus sylvestris and Pinus sibirica, which, due to the presence of the above amino acids, have a nootropic, immunomodulatory, cardiac stimulating, and detoxifying effect.","PeriodicalId":20677,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of Universities.

Cultivation of the Bacillus thuringiensis strain subsp. kurstaki was carried out in a Luria-Bertani (LB) liquid medium. Protatrans (2-Me-C6H4OCH2COO- were added to the NN+(CH2CH2OH)3 (1), 4-Cl-C6H4 -SCH2COO-NN(CHCHOH) (2) and 4-Cl-CSOCHCOO NN+(CH2CH2OH)3 (3) media in concentrations of 1×10-4–1×10-8wt %. The LB medium without the addition of compounds 1–3 was used as a control. Cultures were incubated at a temperature of 30°C for 24 hours. The number of Bacillus thuringiensis cells was determined by serial dilution. The maximum growth was observed in a medium containing 1×10-4wt % of protatran 3. The number of cells was almost 10 times (966.7%) higher than in the control. In media with 1×10-5, 1×10-6, 1×10-7 and 1×10-8 wt % of compound 3, the number of cells was 4–7 times higher than in the control (by 371.7–666.7%). Protatrans 1 and 2 had a positive effect on Bacillus thuringiensis, increasing the number of cells by 83–292% compared to control. Therefore, it was demonstrated for the first time that commercially available non-toxic protatran compounds in microconcentrations are powerful growth stimulators for the entomopathogenic bacteria Bacillus thuringiensis.

Due to their ability to participate in redox reactions, carotenes are increasingly considered as promising compounds in the prevention and correction of cardiovascular and neurodegenerative disorders, as well as in oncology and the treatment of various other diseases. Carotenoids are widely used in the manufacture of food additives and dyes, feed for aquaculture, farm animals and poultry, as well as in so-called nutraceuticals and cosmetics. When formulating optimal feeding rations, vitamin A nutrition is often considered separately due to its vital role in normal growth, development, maintenance and reproduction. The main precursor of vitamin A is β-carotene, which naturally enters the body exclusively via vegetable-based provender. However, since the carotene contained in plant raw materials is an unstable compound, the use of feed additives containing β-carotene becomes relevant. In industry, carotenoids can be produced either by chemical or biological synthesis. However, the majority of carotenoids – 80–90% – are obtained by chemical synthesis. At the same time, public demand for sustainable production dictates the need to find alternative approaches for obtaining this valuable commodity. The article provides an overview of the main biotechnological methods for the production of carotenes using various microorganisms, including microalgae, bacteria and fungi, as well as analysing the effect of culture conditions on the yield of target pigments.","PeriodicalId":20677,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of Universities.

The current focus on polymer mixtures is due to their practical significance. Studying the physical and mechanical properties of polymer mixtures has led to a revision of existing basic concepts, the emergence of new research directions and the solution of practical problems. From this point of view, polymer mixtures are similar to copolymerization in achieving specific properties by combining different chemical structures. The use of polymer mixtures allows materials with the desired properties to be obtained at a faster rate than the synthesis of high-molecular compounds. In recent years, numerous studies have been published on the interaction of various polymers, particularly water-soluble and naturally occurring polymers that are safe for humans and the environment. The development of such materials is of great interest due to their high adhesive strength. These materials can be used to obtain polymer films with new valuable properties. This work investigates the potential of improving the thermomechanical and mechanical properties of films for use in construction as polymer biocidal additives by modifying polyhexamethylene guanidine hydrochloride with polyvinyl alcohol.

The study investigates the possibility of using carbon sorbents having a microporous structure to change the manganese content in aqueous solutions. The adsorption capacity of manganese significantly depends on the acidity of the medium. The highest adsorption value of manganese (II) cations is observed in a weakly alkaline medium (pH 7.5). Kinetic studies demonstrated the possibility of describing the interaction using a pseudo first-order equation. The reaction rate constant as calculated by graphical and computational variants was 0.067 s-1. A functional assessment of the adsorption process can be represented by monomolecular adsorption isotherms, which are described by the classical Langmuir equation. The characteristic adsorption constant parameters were as follows: limiting adsorption value – 1.68 mmol/g; adsorption equilibrium constant – 0.979×103 at a temperature of 298 K. Gibbs energy at 298 K is equal to – 7.41 kJ/mol. The study of the process at elevated temperatures of 308, 318 and 328 K indicates its exothermic nature.

These solvents were synthesised by mixing glycerol as acting as a hydrogen bond donor with ammonium chloride or triethylammonium acetate [tea] [AcO]- acting as a hydrogen bond acceptor at room temperature in a volume ratio of 1:6. A mixture of n-decane and n-hexadecane was selected as components of the model fuel. For the extraction of mixtures of benzene, ethylbenzene (5%), p-, m-, o-cresol, fluorenone (3.5%) and petroleum acids (25%), these deep eutectic solvents were used at room temperature, as well as at a temperature of 60°C, and at atmospheric pressure. Extraction efficiency was evaluated by [1]NMR spectroscopy. The results demonstrated the complete single-stage extraction of p-, m- and o-cresols from the model fuel using the studied deep eutectic solvents. A deep eutectic solvent based on glycerol and triethylammonium acetate was found to have the highest extraction efficiency. The recovery rates for benzene, ethylbenzene, and fluorenone at room temperature are achieved in 3 hours of stirring (75, 25, and 53%, respectively). M- and o-cresols were fully recovered in 1 hour in a single step using a deep eutectic solvent based on triethylammonium acetate, while complete extraction of aromatic acids from a mixture of petroleum acids in model fuel was achieved using a deep eutectic solvent obtained by mixing ammonium chloride and glycerol.","PeriodicalId":20677,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of Universities.

The sorbent was obtained by calcining ash and slag waste accumulated in the ash dump following hydraulic ash removal. The initial concentrations of ammonium ions in the model solutions were 5, 20, 50 and 100 mg/dm3. The volume of the model solution was 50 cm3. For each initial concentration, the kinetic curves of the ammonium ion sorption at the sorption duration of 10, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150 and 180 min were obtained. The kinetic curves were processed using the Lagergren (pseudo-first order), Ho and McKay (pseudo-second order), Morris-Weber (diffusion) and Elovich kinetic equations. It was demonstrated that all kinetic equations adequately describe the experimental data. The linear correlation of the equations was given. The Boyd equation was used to determine the limiting stage in the Morris–Weber model. It was established that the external diffusion mechanism is limiting for the sorption of ammonium ions by a calcined sorbent. The Lagergren model, with a coefficient of determination R2 of 0.9801–0.9949, best described the experimental data on sorption kinetics. Sorption rate curves as a function of the adsorption value and sorption time were given. The latter are described by exponential and polynomial dependence according to the Lagergren model, polynomial dependence according to the Ho and McKay model and exponential dependence according to the Morris–Weber and Elovich models. The sorption rate was the highest at the initial stage of sorption for all dependencies, which is consistent with previous studies on the sorption of pollutants from aqueous solutions using various sorbents.","PeriodicalId":20677,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of Universities.

The titanium dioxide concentration was 1 wt%. The rheological behavior of melts of polymer composites was studied using a CEAST MF50 capillary rheometer (Instron, Italy) at temperatures of 190, 210, 230, 250 °С and loads of 3.8, 5.0, 10.0, 12.5, and 21.6 kg. The effect of temperature and shear stress on the regularity of changes in effective viscosity and shear rate has been established. According to the Arrhenius – Frenkel – Eyring model, the activation energy of the viscous flow of composites is determined. The “apparent” activation energy of the viscous flow varies within 16.04–33.10 kJ/mol for the initial polyethylene mixture and in the range of 6.96–33.10 kJ/mol for composites modified with a structurant based on a mixture of low and high density polyethylene. A universal temperature-invariant characteristic of the viscosity properties of polymeric materials has been constructed, which makes it possible, by extrapolating this dependence to the region of high shear rates, to predict the technological mode of their processing by injection molding and extrusion.","PeriodicalId":20677,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of Universities.
