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 ...
Influence of the alkali treatment on the sorption and dielectric properties of woven jute fabric
(Springer, 2019)
Woven jute fabric was treated with sodium hydroxide solution of different concentrations at room temperature, for different periods of time. After that, jute fabrics with gradually decreased content of hemicelluloses were ...
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 ...
Environmental and take-home lead exposure in children living in the vicinity of a lead battery smelter in Serbia
(Academic Press Inc., 2018)
Blood lead levels (BLLs) have been falling steadily worldwide due to restricted use of lead (Pb) and its compounds. although they remain above preindustrial Pb levels. Elevated BLL can still be found in children living ...
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 ...
