Isolation, purification and encapsulation techniques for bioactive compounds from agricultural and food production waste
(Utilisation of Bioactive Compounds from Agricultural and Food Production Waste, 2017)
Food related materials that are discharged worldwide are residues of high organic load generated through different stages of food’s life cycle, from agricultural production up to postharvest handling, processing, retail ...
Advances in mathematical modeling of supercritical extraction processes
(Mathematical Research Summaries, 2017)
A new trend in mathematical modeling of supercritical extraction process from plant material is presented. The most of the previously published models considered properties of the fixed bed of plant material during the ...
Optimization of the process of Cu(II) sorption by mechanically treated Prunus persica L. - Contribution to sustainability in food processing industry
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2017)
This paper presents an eco-friendly approach for minimizing heavy metal pollution, offering food waste valorization and energy source at the same time. It focuses on Cu(II) sorption by low cost sorbent developed by mechanical ...
Volumetric, viscometric, spectral studies and viscosity modelling of binary mixtures of esters and alcohols (diethyl succinate, or ethyl octanoate plus isobutanol, or isopentanol) at varying temperatures
(Academic Press Ltd- Elsevier Science Ltd, London, 2017)
Density, viscosity and refractive index of four binary mixtures consisting of diethyl succinate or ethyl octanoate + 2-methyl-1-propanol or 3-methyl-1-butanol have been measured at atmospheric pressure and over the temperature ...
Design of pectin-sodium alginate based films for potential healthcare application: Study of chemico-physical interactions between the components of films and assessment of their antimicrobial activity
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2017)
In this study, pectin based films including different amounts of sodium alginate were prepared by casting method. All the films, with and without polyglycerol as plasticizer, were crosslinked with zinc ions in order to ...
Antioxidant edible films based on chitosan and starch containing polyphenols from thyme extracts
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2017)
The aim of this study was to analyse the antioxidant activity of different polymeric matrices based on chitosan and starch, incorporating a thyme extract (TE) rich in polyphenols. TE provided the films with remarkable ...
Seawater zinc/polypyrrole-air cell possessing multifunctional charge-discharge characteristics
(Springer, New York, 2017)
An environmentally friendly cell using polypyrrole-air regenerative cathode and zinc as anode is investigated in the 3% sodium chloride solution. The cell can operate in different charge and discharge mode. Polypyrrole can ...
Structure analysis of geopolymers synthesized from clay originated from Serbia
(Springer, New York, 2017)
The paper presents chemical and structural analysis of geopolymer materials which are obtained by alkali-activated calcined clay (metakaolin) originated from Serbia under strictly defined conditions. Characterization of ...
Controlled enzymatic hydrolysis for improved exploitation of the antioxidant potential of wheat gluten
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2017)
The aim of the study was to find the optimal operational and process parameters for the enzymatic hydrolysis of wheat gluten in a batch stirred bioreactor regarding both degree of hydrolysis and antioxidant capacity of the ...
Prediction of municipal solid waste generation using artificial neural network approach enhanced by structural break analysis
(Springer Heidelberg, Heidelberg, 2017)
This paper presents the development of a general regression neural network (GRNN) model for the prediction of annual municipal solid waste (MSW) generation at the national level for 44 countries of different size, population ...
