Journal ArticleDOI
Electrophysiological and behavioral studies on the taste of umami substances in the rat.
Takashi Yamamoto,Ryuji Matsuo,Yoshiyuki Fujimoto,Isao Fukunaga,Akiko Miyasaka,Toshiaki Imoto +5 more
TL;DR: A new sweet taste inhibitor (Gymnema sylvestre extract) strongly suppressed neural responses to mixtures of MSG and IMP as well as sucrose, but only weakly or negligibly to individual solutions of these umami substances.
Journal ArticleDOI
Degradation of organophosphoric esters in leachate from a sea-based solid waste disposal site
TL;DR: Degradation of organophosphoric esters (OPEs) in leachate from a sea-based solid waste disposal site was investigated by laboratory experiment and reflects the biological and chemical degradation as well as the chemical properties of OPEs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estrogenic chemicals and estrogenic activity in leachate from municipal waste landfill determined by yeast two-hybrid assay
TL;DR: The estrogenic activity of leachate was decreased by aeration treatment alone after 7 days, and was no longer detected after 22 days, suggesting that it contained anti-estrogenic chemicals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Distribution of organophosphoric acid triesters between water and sediment at a sea-based solid waste disposal site
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the behavior of OPEs in the water environment of the waste disposal site and found that the more highly water-soluble OPE were frequently detected in raw water.
Journal ArticleDOI
Abundance of polymers degrading microorganisms in a sea-based solid waste disposal site.
Tomonori Ishigaki,Wataru Sugano,Michihiko Ike,Yasunori Kawagoshi,Isao Fukunaga,Masanori Fujita +5 more
TL;DR: The data indicate that the plastics degradation potential is commonly present in the studied disposal site, and that the degradation potential for plastics composed of chemically‐synthesized polymers is inferior to that of natural polymers.
