Hydrogen Sulfide Releasing Agents

Abstract Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has demonstrated several essential critical care benefits when delivered properly in low doses. The current state-of-the-art delivery systems rely on gaseous delivery of H2S to patients. WSU researchers have developed chemical agents that controllably decompose to release H2S and demonstrated their efficacy in biological...

Infusion of Food Grade Coatings with Propylene Glycol into Ham Nets to Control Pest Infestations

Overview of Technology Food grade, sustainable coating formulations can be combined with nets to protect foods from pests during curing processes. Dry-cured ham is extremely susceptible to mold mite infestations during the aging process due to its moldy surface buildup and high fat and protein composition. Currently, Methyl bromide is the only fumigant...
