"NATURAL PRESERVATIVES" Anthony C. Dweck Research Director‚ Peter Black Medicare Ltd.‚ White Horse Business Park‚ Aintree Avenue‚ Trowbridge‚ Wiltshire‚ UK. BA14 0XB SUMMARY This paper looks at the theoretical development of a natural preservative system using the author’s data base on medicinal plants as a source of references. The legal aspects of this concept are considered. The traditional methods of preservation‚ many taken from the food industry are summarised. The use of alcohol‚ glycerine

Through a review of scientific literature we can find identification methods‚ optimum conditions and the general function and location of agarolytic bacteria‚ as well as methods to culture them in vitro for study and experimentation. Agar is a gelatinous substance derived from algae and seaweed that has found considerable use in laboratories as a medium for bacterial growth. Seaweed is fairly common in oceans‚ with Gelidium amansii (a species

important reasons on why there shouldn’t be a ban on Human Cloning but that it should be regulated. Couples who are infertile might choose to clone one of the partners instead of using sperm‚ eggs‚ or embryo’s from anonymous donors. In conventional in vitro fertilization‚ doctors attempt to start with many ova‚ fertilize each with sperm and implant all of them in the woman’s womb in the hope that one will result in pregnancy. (Robertson) But some women can only supply a single egg. Through the use of

These are the left over embryos not needed during in vitro fertilization. According to Ronald Conte of Christian Planet‚ “Embryonic stem cells are obtained from prenatals at a point very early in development. Obtaining these cells typically results in the

Nuclear medicine (NM) studies in vivo are used to detect minimal amounts of radiopharmaceuticals in organs (the morphology) and their course over time (the function)‚ resulting from physico-chemical interactions of the tracers within the body‚ in the sequence of specific physiological processes. In vitro applications of radioisotopes have become a most important tool in

Now‚ having said that‚ the author of this article urges much more in-depth‚ human study of potential benefits‚ and believes the answer indeed lies within our natural environments‚ but also cautions against our definitions of success. Because a compound is successful in vitro‚ or‚ in a petri dish full of cells‚ does not always translate into success in the human body
