Response surface optimization of purification process for pigment from Coreopsis tinctoria by macroporous resins / 中国中药杂志

To optimize the purification process of pigments from Coreopsis tinctoria with macroporous resins by establishing second regression model with response surface methodology. The experiment showed that XDA-7 resin had the best purification effect for pigments from C. tinctoria. The optimal absorption conditions for pigments from C. tinctoria were determined as follows： concentration of pigments solution 2.7 g•L⁻¹, flow rate 6 mL•min⁻¹, pH 6. Under these conditions, the absorption rate of pigments was up to 94.16%. Optimal desorption conditions were as follows： ethanol concentration 64%, flow rate 5 mL•min⁻¹, elution dosage 4 BV. Under these conditions, pigment desorption rate was as high as 98.72%.

Primary study of arginine as feed attractants on Whitmania pigra / 中国中药杂志

The effects of the feed attractants on Whitmania pigra were studied. The average weight of Wh. pigra were 5.0 g. Arginine was selected as feed attractants, xanthan gum was selected as feed substrate. The times of Wh. pigra going into the inducing room were recorded. The water temperature was 22-25 degrees C during the whole experiment. Arginine that had better inducing effect was chosen to carry on in the gradient experiment. The results showed that the best inducing effect was found when the added amount of arginine was 0.3%, which was close to the arginine content of the natural body fluid of Wh. Pigra and Bellamya purificata, 2.97 mg x g(-1).
