Waste Lard Methanolysis Catalyzed by KOH at Moderate Temperatures
(Wiley-VCH Verlag Gmbh, Weinheim, 2016)
The KOH-catalyzed methanolysis of waste lard from piglet roasting in a moderate temperature range was investigated in order to establish the reaction kinetics. For comparison, lard and thermally treated lard were also ...
Calcium-Alginate-Inulin Microbeads as Carriers for Aqueous Carqueja Extract
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2016)
Carqueja (Pterospartum tridentatum) is an endemic species and various bioactive compounds have been identified in its aqueous extract. The aim of this study was to protect the natural antioxidants from the aqueous extract ...
Antioxidants of Edible Mushrooms
(MDPI, Basel, 2015)
Oxidative stress caused by an imbalanced metabolism and an excess of reactive oxygen species (ROS) lead to a range of health disorders in humans. Our endogenous antioxidant defense mechanisms and our dietary intake of ...
Challenging the difference between white and brown Agaricus bisporus mushrooms: Science behind consumers choice
(Emerald Group Publishing Ltd, Bingley, 2018)
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine compositional differences between brown and white varieties of Agaricus bisporus during shelf life and to determine if the growing demand for the brown variety is scientifically ...
Efficient As(V) removal by alpha-FeOOH and alpha-FeOOH/alpha-MnO2 embedded PEG-6-arm functionalized multiwall carbon nanotubes
(Inst Chemical Engineers, Rugby, 2017)
A novel adsorbents, 6-arm amino polyethylene glycol functionalized multiwall carbon nanotubes (PEG/MWCNT) loaded with alpha-FeOOH (Fe/PEG/MWCNT), and hybrid alpha-FeOOH/alpha-MnO2 nano-deposit (Fe-Mn/PEG/MWCNT) were used ...
Bactericidal activity of Cu-, Zn-, and Ag-containing zeolites toward Escherichia coli isolates
(Springer Heidelberg, Heidelberg, 2017)
Two types of zeolites-natural clinoptilolite (NZ) and synthetic zeolite A (A)-were enriched with approx. 0.25 mmol of Cu(II), Zn(II), or Ag(I) ions, and the obtained materials (M-Z) were tested against three different ...
Equilibrium, kinetic and thermodynamic studies on removal of Cd(II), Pb(II) and As(V) from wastewater using carp (cyprinus carpio) scales
(Inst Materials Physics, Bucharest, 2013)
Unmodified farming carp (cyprinus carpio) scales were used as a biosorbent for the removal of Cd(II), Pb(II) and As(V) ions from aqueous solutions. The adsorption studies were conducted as a function of pH, contact time ...
Synthesis and characterization of interpenetrating polymer network based on sodium alginate and methacrylic acid and potential application for immobilization of TiO2 nanoparticles
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2015)
An interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) based on the sodium alginate (A) and partially neutralized poly(methacrylic acid) (MAA) was prepared by free radical polymerization followed by additional cross-linking of sodium ...
Pollen Tube Growth and Embryo Sac Development in 'Pozna Plava' Plum Cultivar Related to Fruit Set
(Springer, New York, 2019)
A newly released, late ripening plum cultivar 'Pozna Plava' sets fruit poorly, although it produces high quality fruit. This study aimed to evaluate which factors in the reproductive process could be related to the lack ...
Influence of Microwave Heating on the Polymerization Kinetics and Application Properties of the PMMA Dental Materials
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2011)
The effects of heating mode (conventional isothermal heating (CIH) and microwave isothermal heating (MWIH) on the kinetics of polymerization and the properties important for the application (residual monomer, hardness, and ...
