QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DETECTION OF ACACIA HONEY ADULTERATION WITH GLUCOSE SYRUP USING NEAR-INFRARED SPECTROSCOPY

Qualitative and Quantitative Detection of Acacia Honey Adulteration with Glucose Syrup Using Near-Infrared Spectroscopy

Honey adulteration with cheap sweeteners such as corn syrup or invert syrup results in honey of lesser quality that can harm the objectives of both manufacturers and consumers.Therefore, there is a growing interest for the development of a fast and simple method for adulteration detection.In this work, near-infrared spectroscopy (NIR) was used for

The Poly I:C maternal immune stimulation model shows unique patterns of brain metabolism, morphometry, and plasticity in female rats

Introduction: Prenatal infections are associated with an increased risk of the onset of schizophrenia.Rodent models of maternal immune stimulation (MIS) have been extensively used in preclinical studies.However, many of these studies only include males, omitting pathophysiological features unique to females.The aim of this study is to characterize
