Incorporating ROS in Ice-Making Machines Extends Shipping Shelf Life of Produce, Seafood and Meat Products
M&R farms in Birmingham, Minnesota uses JC 9465 as a primary solution for their packing facility. They have also incorporated JC 9465 into their ice-making machines improving product shelf-life as well as eliminating biofilm. By injecting JC 9465 into their water lines supplying the ice machines, the ORP readings went up from 451 to 632. Once it had been converted to ice, the readings had ...

Application of mercury isotopes for tracing trophic transfer and internal distribution of mercury in marine fish feeding experiments
We performed feeding experiments to investigate mercury (Hg) isotope fractionation during trophic transfer and internal distribution of total Hg (THg) in marine fish upon exposure to natural seafood. Young‐of‐the‐year amberjack (Seriola dumerili) were fed with either blackfin tuna (Thunnus atlanticus) (2647 ng/g THg) or brown shrimp (Farfantepenaeus aztecus) (25.1 ng/g THg) for 80 and 50‐days, ...

The Necessity of Wine Refrigeration Units
The wine contains a certain amount of pigment, which is easily affected by ultraviolet rays to cause pigmentation and discoloration of the liquor. Red wine contains protein and salt, which precipitates at low temperatures and causes turbidity in the wine. Deterioration and turbidity caused by microbial growth is likely to occur at high temperatures. Temperature controlled fermentation produces ...
