Calibration Model of %Titratable Acidity (Citric Acid) for Intact Tomato by Transmittance SW-NIR Spectroscopy

The acidity (citric acid) is one of the chemical contents that can refer to the internal quality and the maturity index of tomato. The titratable acidity (%TA) can be predicted by a non-destructive method prediction by using the transmittance short wavelength (SW-NIR). Spectroscopy in the wavelength range between 665-955 nm. The set of 167 tomato samples divided into groups of 117 tomatoes sample for training set and 50 tomatoes sample for test set were used to establish the calibration model to predict and measure %TA by partial least squares regression (PLSR) technique. The spectra were pretreated with MSC pretreatment and it gave the optimal result for calibration model as (R = 0.92, RMSEC = 0.03%) and this model obtained high accuracy result to use for %TA prediction in test set as (R = 0.81, RMSEP = 0.05%). From the result of prediction in test set shown that the transmittance SW-NIR spectroscopy technique can be used for a non-destructive method for %TA prediction of tomatoes

Effect of niclosamide on the tegumental surface of Haplorchis taichui using scanning electron microscopy

The effect of niclosamide on the tegument of adult Haplorchis taichui (Trematoda: Heterophyidae) exposed in vitro was observed by scanning electron microscope. Adult worms were incubated in Tyrode's solution containing 0.01, 0.1, 1.0, and 10 microg ml(-1) of niclosamide for 30 min, 1, 6, 12 and 24 h. Control groups were incubated in Tyrode's solution without niclosamide and worms remained active until 24 h. In 0.01 microg ml(-1) of niclosamide, worms showed slightly active movements up to 1 h after incubation, while in 0.1 microg ml(-1) solution a few worms showed only slightly active movements after 30 min. Tegumental changes were determined by scanning electron microscopy. Swelling and blebbing of the tegument were observed on both ventral and dorsal sides. After longer periods, extensive swelling and blebbing of the tegument became more severe and there was a loss of the apical plasma membrane in some regions. Empty spine sockets occurred, and small perforations penetrated the basal lamina, followed by some lesions. Destruction of both surfaces was more pronounced on the posterior compared with the anterior regions
