In order to efficiently separate large-molecules and high-viscosity lipids from microalgal biomass without harmful solvents, a solvent-free lipid extraction method with subcritical water is proposed to break hydrogen bonds and hydrolyze microalgal lipids in a continuous flow reactor for acid-cat...

Red tilapia has become more popular for aquaculture production in China in recent years. However, the pigmentation differentiation that has resulted from the process of genetic breeding and skin color variation during the overwintering period are the main problems limiting the development of com...

Bayer red mud accounts for the largest proportion of solid waste produced in the non-ferrous metallurgy industry and is usually handled by stockpiling because of its high alkalinity. The calcification–carbonation method (CCM) was proposed to extract alumina and sodium oxide from red mud using a...

Imbalanced dietary levels of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) are known to produce antagonistic effects in pigs, rats and humans, affecting the concentration of BCAAs in plasma and ultimately depressing growth. In fish, antagonism involving BCAAs has not been fully characterized or understood....

Fast, non-destructive methods for determining the seed composition of Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz would be beneficial in evaluating germplasm for important agronomic traits. In this study, near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) methods were developed and evaluated for conducting non-destructive, high...

This study investigated the effects of spontaneous sourdoughs started with pear and orange fermentations on the quality attributes of white pan breads, focusing on acidification capacity, fermentation properties, free amino acids (FAA) concentration and bread properties. This work successfully d...

Orange peel oil is one of the most common flavorings used in the food industry which is volatile under environmental conditions. Encapsulation is the best way to protect it and control its release. One of the nanoencapsulation systems for food bioactive ingredients is complexation method, which ...

Two stainless steel anodes, AISI 420 and AISI 310, and pure iron were compared in an electrocoagulation study for the simultaneous removal of phosphates, Orange II and Zinc ions from a synthetic wastewater at a current density of 11.7 mA cm–2 and a surface area to volume ratio of 19.4 m–1. Hig...

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the photocatalytic properties of a novel synthesized BiVO4/TiO2-NaY zeolite composite using the hydrothermal method for the removal of acid orange 10 (AO10), a typical azo dye, from aqueous solutions. In this respect, the experimental results r...

Sanguinello and Tarocco (Citrus sinensis [L.] Osbeck) are the most common and widespread blood oranges varieties in the Mediterranean climate area. Its interest is increasing mainly due to nutritional and organoleptic properties. In this work, three blood orange varieties cultivated in Spain (Sa...

The low cost ZnO and ZnO:Eu3+ (0.1-4.0 mol%) were synthesized by solution combustion at 600 ± 10°C using plant powder as a fuel and Zinc nitrate as a precursor. The powder X-ray diffraction confirms that the presence of wurzite hexagonal type and existence of secondary phase reveals that Eu3+ ...

The copper(II) complexes of Furosemide (Fu) widely used as a diuretic were synthesized and isolated from aqueous and methanol solutions as CuFu2 · 2Solv and characterized by elemental analysis, single crystal X-ray diffraction, UV—vis and IR spectroscopy, EPR and magnetic susceptibility measur...

The wild olive cores (WOC) are an agricultural by-product, which contributes to large quantities of squander to the environment in oleocole season in Algeria. The present study consists of the preparation of activated carbon from WOC (oleaster) activated chemically by H3PO4 (AC-WOC) for the adso...

The adsorption of acid orange II (AO7) dye from aqueous solution was examined onto untreated and chemically modified forms (treated with (i) propylamine, (ii) acidic methanol, (iii) formaldehyde and (iv) formic acid with formaldehyde) of brown alga, Stoechospermum marginatum. The adsorption was ...

The brown macroalga Stoechospermum marginatum was tested for its ability to remove the acid dyes Acid Blue 25 (AB25), Acid Orange 7 (AO7) and Acid Black 1 (AB1) from aqueous solution. Biosorption was investigated under different conditions of pH, biomass and initial dye concentrations, temperatu...

Studies were carried out to isolate Acid red 119 (AR-119) resistant and decolourising bacteria from dye contaminated soil and water samples. Six morphologically distinct bacterial isolates resistant to 100 ppm AR-119 dye were isolated directly from the soil and waste contaminated with azo dyes. ...

The aim of this study is to optimize the removal conditions of C.I. Acid black 1 (AB1) by a brown alga biomass, Cystoseira indica, and a red alga biomass, Gracilaria persica, using Box-Behnken design. The variables examined were the biomass dosage (0.5–1.5 g L−1), initial AB1 concentration (10–...

Relationship among pH, generation of free amino acids (FAAs), and Maillard browning was investigated in Japanese common squid during air drying at 40 °C to prevent its discoloration. In the surface color measurement, increase in the b* value which is an indicator for Maillard browning of the dr...

The kinetics of browning and the correlation between browning products (BPs) and pyrazine compounds were investigated by heating equimolar l-ascorbic acid (ASA)/acidic amino acids under weak alkaline conditions at 120–150 °C for 10–120 min. The formations of BPs and pyrazine compounds from th...

Weight loss is the primary recommendation for health improvement in individuals with high body mass index (BMI) despite limited evidence of long-term success. Alternatives to weight-loss approaches (such as Health At Every Size – a weight-neutral approach) have been met with their own concerns ...
