Chemical inertness and physical properties like adequate gas barrier, transparency, light weight and good recyclability, have made poly(ethylene therephtalate) (PET) particularly suitable in food packaging applications, especially in beverages and drinking water. However, several studies have shown the presence of compounds not expected a priori in...

This paper presents the results of the impact of basic additives in the process of heating (calcinations) of industrial aluminum hydroxide and the formation of the final stable phase α- Al2O3. The influence of additives have been focused on the result of the impact, ie. on the kinetics of crystallization of α-Al2O3, and the comparative ...

Traditional starters are used for different types of cheese, a mixed associations of microorganisms. The mixed starters contain more species and strains of bacteria isolated from traditional starters. Depending on the type of cheese are produced, they prevail mesophilous bacteria: Leuconostoc lactis ssp lactis and Leuconostoc lactis ssp cremoris, s...

It is well known that the exposition to air and weather markedly enhances derogation of all artifacts. In this report, the contribution of light (particularly sunlight) to marked speed-up of the oxidation and other changes by exposition to atmosphere will be analyzed. Five major mechanisms of the effect of insolation can be identified: 1. First is ...

Sage with different degrees of fragmentation was extracted at the plant for extraction of gases under pressure (HPEP, Nova Swiss, Switzerland). Plant material - drug consisted of dried leaves of sage (Salviae folium), collected from harvested wild plants after flowering (Salvia officinalis L.) in the region of Trebinje during 2007. year. The initia...
