https://www.selleckchem.com/products/fumarate-hydratase-in-1.html In this study, three types of biomass were first pretreated with an aqueous phase bio-oil instead of traditional acid washing. Then, the washed samples were pretreated with drying (100 ℃, 30 min) and torrefaction (250 ℃, 30 min) using a parabolic-trough solar receiver system. The subsequent pyrolysis was performed at 550 ℃ for 10 min using a parabolic-dish solar receiver system. Results showed that the solar energy can effectively ensure the temperature required for biomass drying, torrefaction, and pyrolysis, having thus a potential to replace the conventional electric heating or fossil fuel heating. Such a strategy combines the advantages of the independent pretreatments, i.e., leaching out of metallic species and reduction of oxygen content. Consequently, the high heating value of bio-oil increased remarkably, the generation of acids was strongly inhibited, whereas the formation of phenols and anhydrosugars was promoted. Therefore, the method proposed herein is promising for upgrading of biomass and bio-oil. OBJECTIVES To investigate the acute glyacaemic response to accumulated or single bout walking exercise in apparently healthy adults. DESIGN Three arm, randomised crossover control study. METHODS Ten adults (age 50±12.6 y; BMI 29.0±5.4kgm-2) completed three separate trials comprising three 10-min walking bouts after breakfast, lunch, and dinner (APPW), a single 30-min walking bout after dinner only (CPPW), or a no-exercise control (NOEX). Participants walked on a treadmill at a moderate intensity of 55%-70% heart rate reserve. Two-hour postprandial glucose response was assessed using a continuous glucose monitor. RESULTS There was a difference in the pattern of the glucose response between the trials during the two hours following dinner (p less then 0.001). Postprandial dinner glucose concentrations were not different between APPW and CPPW but were up to 1.01mmolL-1 lower than NOEX (partial eta
