Thermal Phase Transitions of Agarose in Various Compositions: A Fluorescence Study
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Springer/Plenum Publishers, 2011)The effect of agarose content on thermal phase transitions of the agarose gels was investigated by using Steady State Fluorescence (SSF) method. Scattered light I(sc) and fluorescence intensity I(fl) were monitored against temperature during heating and cooling processes to investigate phase transitions. Two regions were observed during the heating and cooling processes. At the high temperature region double helix to coil (h-c) transition took place. However during the cooling process coil to ...

Thermal Phase Transitions of IOTA Carrageenan in CaCl2 Solutions: A Fluorescence Study
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2011)The fluorescence technique was employed to study thermal phase transitions of iota (-) carrageenan (IC) in CaCl2 solution. IC gels underwent coil to double helix (c-h) and double helix to dimer (h-d) transitions upon cooling. Upon heating IC gels presented dimer to double helix (d-h) and double helix to coil (h-c) transitions showing hysteresis types of transition paths. Scattered light Isc and fluorescence intensity I were monitored against temperature to determine phase transitions. Transition ...
