Isotherm, Thermodynamic and Kinetic Studies of Elemental Sulfur Removal from Mineral Insulating Oils Using Highly Selective Adsorbent
(MDPI, 2023)
Elemental sulfur (S8) is a corrosive sulfur compound which was found to be extremely reactive to silver, causing intensive silver sulfide (Ag2S) deposition on on-load tap changer (OLTC) contacts in power transformers. A ...
Two-way reaction of versatile peroxidase with artificial lignin enhances low-molecular weight fractions
(John Wiley and Sons Inc, 2023)
In recent years, versatile peroxidase (VP) has emerged as a promising enzyme for biotechnological applications, as it can oxidize lignin without the external mediators. To gain insights into the breakdown process of ...
The Influence of Isoenzyme Composition and Chemical Modification on Horseradish Peroxidase@ZIF-8 Biocomposite Performance
(MDPI, 2022)
Many articles in the literature deal with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) biomineralization, but none pay attention to the isoenzyme composition of commercial HRP or the influence of the carbohydrate component of the protein ...
Microencapsulation of probiotic starter culture in protein–carbohydrate carriers using spray and freeze-drying processes: Implementation in whey-based beverages
(Elsevier Ltd., 2022)
The production of functional beverages has gained more attention because of growing consumers' interest in personal health. The process of carrier production and characterization of a novel type of protein-carbohydrate ...
Electrospun polycaprolactone nanofibers functionalized with Achillea millefolium extract yield biomaterial with antibacterial, antioxidant and improved mechanical properties
(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2023)
In this study, polycaprolactone (PCL), as a biocompatible polymer was functionalized by addition of medicinal plant extract- Achillea millefolium L. (yarrow). Nanofiber mats were fabricated from PCL solutions containing ...
Impact of Different Enzymatic Processes on Antioxidant, Nutritional and Functional Properties of Soy Protein Hydrolysates Incorporated into Novel Cookies
(MDPI, 2023)
Soy protein concentrate (SPC) was hydrolyzed using several commercial food-grade proteases (Alcalase, Neutrase, papain, Everlase, Umamizyme, Flavourzyme) and their combination to obtain promising ingredients in the manufacture ...
The Effect of Glycol Derivatives on the Properties of Bio-Based Unsaturated Polyesters
(MDPI, 2022)
The scope of the present study was to prepare fully bio-based unsaturated polyester resins (UPRs) with comparable properties to the commercial formulations. The focus was set on the determination of the optimal prepolymer ...
Obtaining Medical Textiles Based on Viscose and Chitosan/Zinc Nanoparticles with Improved Antibacterial Properties by Using a Dielectric Barrier Discharge
(MDPI, 2022)
This study aimed to obtain functional viscose textiles based on chitosan coatings with improved antibacterial properties and washing durability. For that reason, before functionalization with chitosan/zinc nanoparticles ...
Exploring the supramolecular profile of 5-phenylhydantoins
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2023)
The present study describes representative examples of supramolecular arrangement of 5-phenylhydantoins achieved through various N-H⋯O hydrogen-bonding patterns. Four derivatives, 5-ethyl-5-(4-methylphenyl)hydantoin (1) ...
Multivariate Assessment and Risk Ranking of Pesticide Residues in Citrus Fruits
(MDPI, 2023)
Pesticides are extensively used in the cultivation and postharvest protection of citrus fruits, therefore continuous monitoring and health risk assessments of their residues are required. This study aimed to investigate ...
