Phenolic compounds in oat grains (Avena sativa L.) grown in conventional and organic systems

Article Abstract:

The concentrations of avenanthramides (AVAs), hydroxycinnamic acids (HCAs), a sucrose-linked truxinic acid (TASE) and certain organic parameters were analyzed in organically and conventionally grown oats. The ACA and HCA concentrations were negatively correlated to the yield and specific weight of the grains and positively correlated to the protein content, whereas, the concentration of TASE was positively correlated to the yield.

Particulate organic matter in the sea: The composition conundrum

Article Abstract:

The comparison of decomposition of marine particulate organic matter with that in soils and sewage is discussed. Comparison of organic matter decomposition in marine particles with that in soils and wastewater can prove very useful in distinguishing between important decomposition mechanisms.

Disinfection of septic tank and cesspool wastewater with peracetic acid

Article Abstract:

Peracetic acid was used to treat wastewaters of private household septic tanks and cesspools and was found to be effective in destroying microorganisms. After proper testing it was found that these wastewaters, after treatment, could be used for agricultural purposes.
