[The transplacental transfer of nitrates and their effect on the human fetus]. / Transplatsentarnyi perenos nitratov i ikh vliianie na plod cheloveka.

Nitrates entering the body of pregnant woman with food and potable water were showed to pass through the placental barrier and get into fetus. Transplacental transfer of nitrates under condition of nitrate overload on the body may result in development of hemic hypoxia, deterioration of biophysical profile of fetus and subsequently compromised infant's condition estimated by Apgar scale.

[Nitrates in cow's milk and in various milk products in the Ukraine]. / Nitraty v korov'em moloke i nekotorykh molochnykh produktakh USSR.

The results of the investigations conducted have shown that most milk samples analyzed contained from 2 to 55.2 mg/l nitrates (P50 = 27.2 mg/l), dried milk and dry milk mixtures contained from 56.5 to 91.0 mg/kg nitrates (P50 = 72.9 mg/kg). The amount of nitrates detected in most products prepared at special milk centers for child nutrition did not exceed the mean level of nitrates in the whole milk. However, 12% of milk samples and 6% of dry milk mixtures contained significantly higher levels of nitrates. A conclusion has been made on the necessity of testing and regulation of nitrate content in the milk and milk products for child nutrition.

[Health-related monitoring of nitrates in food products]. / Gigienicheskikh monitoring nitratov v pishchevykh produktakh.

Studies have been carried out developing the major issues of hygienic monitoring of nitrates in food-stuffs in the UkSSR: a unified republican system of hygienic control of nitrates content in food-stuffs with computer processing of the data has been proposed. Republican regulations of the allowed content of these substances in agricultural products are presented. Biomonitoring of nitrates in women's breast milk has been considered as a criterion of the system's functioning.

[The hygienic evaluation of potato treated with the preparation Polikar made from the byproducts of soda manufacture]. / Gigienicheskaia otsenka kartofelia, obrabotannogo preparatom iz otkhodov sodovogo proizvodstva Polikarom.

It has been shown that Polycar prepared from sodium carbonate byproducts, intended for the treatment of potatoes before its storage, makes for an increase in solanine content, and a decrease in the level of ascorbic acid in potato. Such potato produces a toxic effect on the rat body. A conclusion has been made that Polycar could not be used as an agent for potato treatment.

[Mineral composition of the protein concentrates made from nontraditional raw plant materials]. / Mineral'nyi sostav belkovykh kontsentratov iz netraditsionnogo rastitel'nogo syr'ia.

Protein concentrates obtained from unconventional plant raw material, namely from the oil cake of tomato seeds, corn germs, flax and safflower hold promise as sources of biologically important components including mineral substances. The protein concentrates are marked by a high content of calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, copper, manganese and zinc. They are also rich in iron that occurs in the form of a protein complex of bivalent iron. The content of heavy metals and nitrates does not exceed quota permissible for foods.
