Why Germany Market? German chewing gum sales have grown moderately every year since 1995. According to Kaugummi-Verband by index value Per capita consumption of chewing gum in Germany is 89 and it’s the sixth position in world wide. So‚ if Chicza enter into the Germany market‚ they can capture the chewing gum market because in Germany there is a growing trend toward healthy foods which presents opportunities for organic chewing gum. Germany focus on renewable energy economy‚ so they will care

is still considered rare due to its relatively low infection rate‚ it is still critical nonetheless that we and the public be informed of this disease and the devastating effects it can have. CJD is caused by a prion‚ or a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE). Prions are caused by the abnormal structure and folding of prion proteins in the brain. The abnormality rapidly spreads from protein to protein‚ causing the patient to experience brain damage and neurodegeneration. Due to the relatively

WESTERN BLOTTING (Written Report) I. PRINCIPLE Western blotting is a method for identifying a specific protein in a complex mixture and simultaneously determining its molecular weight. In Western blotting‚ proteins are electrophoresed into a gel‚ as the proteins migrate through the gel they are separated based upon size and charge. Characteristically‚ smaller proteins migrate through the gel faster than larger proteins. Sufficiently separated proteins in an SDS-PAGE can be transferred to a
