Electron beam irradiation (EBI) has high energy, no induced radioactivity, and strong degradation capacity toward mycotoxins, such as zearalenone (ZEN) and ochratoxin A (OTA). In this study, we determined EBI’s influence on the physical and chemical properties of corn contaminated with ZEN and OTA. Moreover, the toxicity of corn after EBI was assessed through a mouse experiment. Amylose content and starch crystallinity in corn decreased significantly (p < 0.05) at an irradiation dose higher than 20 kGy. Scanning electron microscopy results revealed that the starch particles of corn began to be crushed at 10 kGy. Essential and total amino acid contents in corn decreased significantly with increasing irradiation dose of EBI (p < 0.05). Feeding EBI-treated corn fodders to mice could significantly improve blood biochemical indexes. The EBI-treated group was not significantly different from the normal corn group and did not display histopathological changes of the liver. EBI treatment can influence the quality of corn to some extent and effectively lower the toxicity of ZEN and OTA in contaminated corn. The results provide a theoretical and practical basis for the processing of EBI-treated corn and its safety.

ABSTRACTObjective: Fundamental research in pharmacy and medicine have shown that drugs, which are based on nucleus of the 1,2,4-triazole, have a widerange of biological effects. Derivatives of this heterocyclic system have well-known Ukrainian clinicians and the world scientists due to its antifungal,antidepressant, anticancer, cardio- and hepatoprotective properties. The pharmacological activity of most organic compounds depends on severaldifferent factors, including bioavailability of the substance. Hence, it is very important to consider the results of the synthetic and biological researchesand established dependence of structure on the biological action when scientists model new molecules or improve pharmacological properties of anexisting structure. One of the important social and economic problems of the pharmaceutical industry is the implementation in practice of new drugsthat could compete with expensive imported drugs. In recent times, 1,2,4-triazole-3-thioderivatives take attention of compatriots and scientists offoreign countries who are working on finding bioactive compounds including heterocyclic systems. The structure, physical and chemical properties,pharmacological activities of 1,2,4-triazoles, and their 3-thioderivatives are understudied. Hence, the study of that will be actually and novelty formodern science. The main purpose of our research is synthesis of 3-alkylsulfonyl-5-(chinoline-2-yl, 2-hydroxychinoline-4-yl)-4-R-2,4-dihydro-3N1,2,4-triazoles,studyingof its physicaland chemical properties.Methods: The initial compounds have been synthesized previously using known in literature techniques. Oxidation of the sulfur atom of thesynthesized compounds to the hexavalent condition was carried out adding solution of hydrogen peroxide.Results: The structure of the obtained compounds was determined with the modern physical and chemical analysis methods: Element analysis,infrared-spectrophotometry, and their individuality with thin layer chromatography.Conclusions: Prospect of the further researches is determination of acute toxicity and next studying of pharmacological properties of the synthesizedcompounds.Keywords: 1,2,4-triazoles, Synthesis, Chemical properties, Chinoline.1

Near-IR spectroscopy has been investigated as a universal approach for determination of physical and chemical properties of water and their functions of temperature. Principal component regression and multilinear regression models were used to correlate the spectra with the properties of water at temperatures between 5 and 65°C. Fifteen properties of water were investigated including density, refractive index, dielectric constant, relative viscosity, surface tension, vapor pressure, sound velocity, isothermal compressibility, thermal expansivity, thermal capacity, thermal conductivity, enthalpy, free energy, entropy, and ionization constant. Very good correlations were found between the near-IR predicted values of all the properties and those obtained by the traditional methods. This investigation demonstrates that these fifteen properties of water can be simultaneously determined simply by measuring a set of near-IR spectra of water, and, thus, near-IR spectroscopy can be used as a universal method for the determinations of physical and chemical properties of water. Remote sensing of the properties can be performed with the use of a fiber-optic sensor.
