Micro-kinetic model of fructo-oligosaccharide synthesis for prebiotic products
(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2023)
A new micro-kinetic model of the enzyme-catalyzed synthesis of fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) was developed. A commercial enzyme mixture Pectinex® Ultra SP-L derived from Aspergillus aculeatus was used. A variety of initial ...
Characterization of microporous PP/PE nonwoven mats surface modified by deposition of electrospun nanofibers
(Journal of the Textile Institute, 2023)
This study investigates the effect of surface modification by deposition of electrospun fibers on properties and performance of three different microporous polypropylene/polyethylene (PP/PE) commercial nonwoven membrane ...
Enhanced antimicrobial properties and bioactivity of 3D-printed titanium scaffolds by multilayer bioceramic coating for large bone defects
(IOP Publishing, 2023)
The restoration of large bone defects caused by trauma, tumor resection, or infection is a major clinical problem in orthopedics and dentistry because postoperative infections, corrosion, and limited osteointegration of ...
Clinoptilolite—An Efficient Carrier for Catalytically Active Nano Oxide Particles
(MDPI, 2023)
Many efforts have been devoted to produce green materials and technology to prevent and minimize the adverse effects on the environment and human health caused primarily by population growth and industrial progress. Over ...
Polymer-Lipid Matrices based on Carboxymethyl Cellulose/Solagum and Liposomes for Controlled Release of Folic Acid
(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2023)
Liposome-encapsulated folic acid is incorporated into the films made from sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) (2 mas%) and a mixture of CMC and solagum (9:1 w/w) using the film-forming cast solution method. Histidine is ...
Obtaining Polysaccharide-Based Fabrics with Improved Moisture Sorption and Dye Adsorption Properties
(MDPI, 2023)
Raw jute fabric was treated with 0.5, 1.0, or 2.0% chitosan solution to improve its sorption
properties (evaluated through the moisture sorption and adsorption of textile dye Reactive Orange 16 (RO 16)), which are essential ...
Plasma Treatment as a Sustainable Method for Enhancing the Wettability of Jute Fabrics
(MDPI, 2023)
In this paper, raw jute fabric was subjected to atmospheric pressure dielectric barrier discharge (at 150 or 300 Hz) to enhance its wettability, i.e., capillarity and wetting time. Attenuated Total Reflectance-Fourier ...
Eco‑friendly dyeing of polyamide and polyamide‑elastane knits with living bacterial cultures of two Streptomyces sp. strains
(Springer Science and Business Media, 2023)
Given the environmental burden of textile industry, especially of dyeing processes and the volume of synthetic dyes and surfactants, the intensive development of the greener approaches is under way. Herein, an environmen ...
The surprising discovery of two new subterranean Leptodirini of the genus Spelaeobates Müller, 1901 (Coleoptera, Leiodidae, Cholevinae) from Croatia after more than a century
(Pensoft Publishers, 2023)
Two new subterranean leiodid taxa of the genus Spelaeobates Müller, 1901 from three pits in northern Dalmatia (Croatia), S. coriniensis sp. nov. and S. coriniensis nonveilleri ssp. nov., are described. The morphological ...
Exposure Factors in Health Risk Assessment of Heavy Metal(loid)s in Soil and Sediment
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2023)
Heavy metal(loid)s (HMs) play an important role in economic development since they are used in various branches of industry. However, all industrial activities emit HMs into the environment, where they are no longer useful ...
