Recovering the Soybean Hulls after Peroxidase Extraction and Their Application as Adsorbent for Metal Ions and Dyes
(Hindawi Limited, 2023)
This study is aimed at extending the soybean hulls' lifetime by their utilization as an adsorbent for metal ions (Cd2+ and Cu2+) and dyes (Reactive Yellow 39 (RY 39) and Acid Blue 225 (AB 225)). ATR-FTIR spectroscopy, ...
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 ...
Berries Pomace Valorization: From Waste to Potent Antioxidants and Emerging Skin Prebiotics
(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2024)
Fruit pomaces are agro-industrial by-products obtained in large quantities by the juice production industry, hence their reutilization is a suitable way to minimize environmental impact by transforming them into different ...
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 ...
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 ...
Greenness of dispersive microextraction using molecularly imprinted polymers
(Walter de Gruyter, 2024)
Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) as materials with determined levels of selectivity and specificity for designated analytes have recently gained much attention in various application fields. However, with the growing ...
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 ...
Biodegradable Cellulose/Polycaprolactone/Keratin/Calcium Carbonate Mulch Films Prepared in Imidazolium-Based Ionic Liquid
(MDPI, 2023)
Ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride [BMIM][Cl] was used to prepare cellulose (CELL), cellulose/polycaprolactone (CELL/PCL), cellulose/polycaprolactone/keratin (CELL/PCL/KER), and cellulose/polycaprolactone/ ...
