This study aims to determine the effect of the substitution of bovine serum albumin (BSA) with cattle blood serum and egg white in the diluent of Cauda epididymal Plasma 2 (CEP-2) on sperm quality of Limousin cattle during cooling at 3-5 C. The research material used was rejected Limousin bull sperm (motility of 50-60%) from Artificial Insemination Centre Singosari, Malang. This research was a laboratory experiment using a randomized block design which was composed of six treatments with 10 replications, those were T0 as controls ((90% CEP-2 with BSA + 10% egg yolk); T1 (83.84% CEP-2 + 6.16% cattle blood serum + 10% egg yolk); T2 (81.84% CEP-2 + 8.16% cattle blood serum + 10% egg yolk); dan T3 (90% CEP-2 + 0,4% egg white + 10% egg yolk); T4 (90% CEP-2 + 0.8% egg white + 10% egg yolk); and T5 (90% CEP-2 without BSA + 10% egg yolk). Parameters measured were the percentage of motility, viability, and abnormality of sperms. Results of research after 48 hours of storage showed that the percentage of sperm motility in T0, T1, T2, T3, T4, and T5 were 40.50±5.90, 36±36.16, 34.00±6.58, 40.50±3.69, 38.50±3.37, and 38.50±4.12, respectively, while the percentage of sperms viability were 75.16±4.30, 70.50±2.88, 73.80±2.80, 74.80±3.30, 75.13±3.13, and 74.03±4.13, respectively, and the percentage of sperms abnormality were 10.14±2.34, 10.62±1.34, 11.33±2.00, 10.94±2.82, 10.02±1.95, and 10.78±1.96, respectively. In conclusion, CEP-2 diluent with or without the addition of 19% egg yolk in BSA and the substitution of BSA with 0.4-0.8% egg white can maintain semen quality to hour of 48 in cold storage.This study aims to determine the effect of the substitution of bovine serum albumin (BSA) with cattle blood serum and egg white in the diluent of Cauda epididymal Plasma 2 (CEP-2) on sperm quality of Limousin cattle during cooling at 3-5 C.

The precipitation rate and cementation strength of calcium carbonate crystals during the process of microorganism-induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP) are key factors that affect the application effect of this technology. In order to improve the quality of calcium carbonate formation in the MICP process, egg white protein with a volume fraction of 20%, bovine serum albumin with a mass fraction of 0.3%, sucrose with a mass fraction of 5%, bamboo leaves with a mass concentration of 25 g/L, and bamboo leaf-magnesium chloride (Mg2+/Ca2+=4:1) were added during the experiment of different groups of MICP solutions. The results of the solution test study showed that there was no obvious lag period for bacterial growth under the action of organic matrix. The concentration of bacteria in the reaction solution was higher under the action of sucrose and egg white. The conversion rate of Ca2+ under the action of egg white was the fastest, which was about 2.5 times higher than that of the control group. After 14 days of grouting reaction, it was found that the proportion of calcite-type calcium carbonate produced under the action of egg white was the highest, and the Ca element accounted for 66.24% in the solidified material. Sucrose was second; bovine serum albumin was the lowest. The calcium carbonate crystals generated by the control of each organic matrix had a high degree of pore size matching with the tailings under a dry-wet cycle. The structural characteristics of the calcium carbonate crystals, such as crystal form, morphology, and particle size, were mainly due to the interaction between the organic matrix and the calcium carbonate crystals. This study proves that the addition of the organic matrix can improve the formation rate and crystal structure of calcium carbonate during MICP, thus providing a new reference for the development of MICP technology.

Protein foaming-consolidation method is a facile technique for production of porous materials using egg yolk as pore creating agent. Usage of the yolk in the process offers a number of advantages over other proteins such as egg white and bovine serum albumin (BSA). Various materials were successfully fabricated using this technique. The present paper gives a brief review of the preparation and characterization of the materials through protein foaming-consolidation technique for biomedical application.

The protease inhibitors (bovine serum albumin -BSA - and egg white) and transglutaminase inhibitor (NH4Cl), was added to the surimi obtained by King weakfish (Macrodon ancylodon) wastes to evaluate your effect on the gel texture. Results indicated that the treatment with pre-heating (60°C, 30min + 90°C, 15min) favored the elasticity of the gel (ashi), demonstrating low proteolysis and characterizing the suwari phenomenon (high gel strength). Protease inhibitors increased gel strength significantly (P<0.05) by compression force, when BSA was better than egg whites. Gels from surimi of King weakfish wastes didn't have action of the transglutaminase characterized.

We recently described an artificial substrate system which could be used to optimize labeling parameters in EM immunocytochemistry (ICC). The system utilizes blocks of glutaraldehyde polymerized bovine serum albumin (BSA) into which an antigen is incorporated by a soaking procedure. The resulting antigen impregnated blocks can then be fixed and embedded as if they are pieces of tissue and the effects of fixation, embedding and other parameters on the ability of incorporated antigen to be immunocyto-chemically labeled can then be assessed. In developing this system further, we discovered that the BSA substrate can also be dried and then sectioned for immunolabeling with or without prior chemical fixation and without exposing the antigen to embedding reagents. The effects of fixation and embedding protocols can thus be evaluated separately.
