Nitrogen plasma surface treatment for improving polar ink adhesion on micro/nanofibrillated cellulose films
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2019)
We find that nitrogen plasma treatment of micro/nanofibrillated cellulose films increases wettability of the surface by both liquid polar water and nonpolar hexadecane. The increased wetting effect is more pronounced in ...
Organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in Cyprinidae fish: Towards hints of their arrangements using advanced classification methods
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, San Diego, 2018)
To tackle the ever-present global concern regarding human exposure to persistent organic pollutants (POPs) via food products, this study strived to indicate associations between organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) and ...
Production of prebiotic enriched maple syrup through enzymatic conversion of sucrose into fructo-oligosaccharides
(Elsevier Ltd., 08-2024)
Maple syrup, a popular natural sweetener has a high content of sucrose, whose consumption is linked to different health issues such as obesity and diabetes. Hence, within this paper, the conversion of sucrose to prebiotics ...
In vitro evaluation of enzymatically derived blackcurrant extract as prebiotic cosmetic ingredient: extraction conditions optimization and effect on cutaneous microbiota representatives
(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2023)
Background Blackcurrant is a rich source of polyphenols with proven physiological activity, that have lately been classified as emerging prebiotics, making its extracts suitable for application in functional food and ...
Surface cleaning of raw cotton fibers with atmospheric pressure air plasma
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2018)
In this work, a possibility to use atmospheric pressure plasma treatment to clean cotton fibers surface was investigated. Dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) operating in air was used as plasma source. After plasma treatment, ...
Immobilization of dextransucrase on functionalized TiO2 supports
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2018)
The TiO2 based hybrid supports with different functional groups (amino, glutaraldehyde or epoxy) were prepared and their influence on immobilization of dextransucrase (DS) was studied. Novel synthetic route for surface ...
Cytotoxicity studies of novel Ag/alginate nanocomposites aimed for wound treatment
(Wiley-Blackwell, Hoboken, 2014)
Effect of immobilisation materials on viability and fermentation activity of dairy starter culture in whey-based substrate
(Wiley-Blackwell, Hoboken, 2016)
BACKGROUND: The main objectives of the paper were to study influence of immobilisation of dairy starter culture 'Lactoferm ABY 6' on fermentation and probiotic potential of fermented whey-based substrate. RESULTS: Fermentation ...
Hybrid acrylic nanocomposites with excellent transparency and hardness/toughness balance
(Elsevier B.V., 2020)
The composite nanofibers were used as reinforcement in acrylic polymer for the overall enhancement of thermo-mechanical properties, adhesion between fibers and matrix, and fracture toughness of the final nanocomposite since ...
Valorization of food waste to produce intelligent nanofibrous beta-chitin films
(International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, 2021)
The efficient use of waste from food processing industry is one of the innovative approaches within sustainable development, because it can be transferred into added value products, which could improve economic, energetic ...
