Enzymatic conversion of sunflower oil to biodiesel in a solvent-free system: Process optimization and the immobilized system stability
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2009)
The feasibility of using the commercial immobilized lipase from Candida antarctica (Novozyme 435) to synthesize biodiesel from sunflower oil in a solvent-free system has been proved. Using methanol as an acyl acceptor and ...
Real-time magnetic resonance imaging and quantification of lipoprotein metabolism in vivo using nanocrystals
(Nature Publishing Group, London, 2009)
Semiconductor quantum dots and superparamagnetic iron oxide nanocrystals have physical properties that are well suited for biomedical imaging. Previously, we have shown that iron oxide nanocrystals embedded within the lipid ...
Micelle and Vesicle Formation of Amphiphilic Nanoparticles
(Wiley-VCH Verlag Gmbh, Weinheim, 2009)
A study of the photocatalytic degradation of metamitron in ZnO water suspensions
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2009)
The photocatalytic degradation of the herbicide metamitron in water using ZnO under Osram ULTRA-VITALUX (R) lamp light was studied. The effect of the operational parameters such as initial concentration of catalyst, initial ...
Water plus esters plus methanol: experimental data, correlation and prediction of surface and interfacial tensions at 303.15 K and atmospheric pressure
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2004)
For the ternary system water + ethyl propionate + methanol, and the constituent binaries, the surface tension at 303.15 K and atmospheric pressure was measured over the whole miscible composition range. The liquid interfacial ...
A study of the synergistic antilisterial effects of a sub-lethal dose of lactic acid and essential oils from Thymus vulgaris L., Rosmarinus officinalis L. and Origanum vulgare L.
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2007)
Commercial essential oils of Thymus vulgaris L., Rosmarinus officinalis L. and Origanum vulgare L. were chemically characterized by GC, GC/MS analyses. The antilisterial activity of the oils, and the sub-lethal concentration ...
Supercritical carbon dioxide extraction of essential oils from plants with secretory ducts: Mathematical modelling on the micro-scale
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2007)
In this study, the supercritical carbon dioxide extraction of essential oils from plants which contain secretory ducts as essential oil reservoirs was investigated and modelled. Supercritical carbon dioxide extraction of ...
Recycled wool-based nonwoven material as an oil sorbent
(Amer Chemical Soc, Washington, 2003)
The aim of this study was to highlight the possibility of using recycled wool-based nonwoven material as a sorbent in an oil spill cleanup. This material sorbed higher amounts of base oil SN 150 than diesel or crude oil ...
Hydrolysis of apple pectin by the coordinated activity of pectic enzymes
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2007)
The hydrolysis of pectin from apples, cv. Budimka fruit (Pyrus mahus L.), by individual and/or combined action of fungal polygalacturonase from Aspergillus niger (FPG), fungal pectin esterase from A. niger (FPE) and plant ...
Biologically active fibers based on chitosan-coated lyocell fibers
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2009)
The possibilities of obtaining biologically active cell ulose-chitosan fibers were examined. An effective two-stage method was developed. The first stage involves the formation of dialdehyde cellulose by the potassium ...
