Copper in fruit and vegetable products intended for human consumption and sold in the local market in the Republic of Serbia, 2015–2019
The concentration of copper (Cu) was determined in 110 samples of fruit (n = 31) and vegetable products (n = 79), collected during the period from January 2015 to December 2019. Fruit and vegetable products originate from 17 countries, including Serbia. Samples were analysed by inductively coupled plasma – optical emission spectrometry (ICP-O...

The influence of process parameters on the morphological characteristics of fine precipitated hydrate
In this paper, the influence of process parameters on the morphological properties of fine precipitated hydrate was examined. The research was conducted with the aim of synthesizing fine precipitated aluminum hydroxide from the aluminate solution obtained by the Bayer process. Fine precipitated hydrates obtained in this way are mostly used in the n...

Sunflower oil with vitamin D: Preliminary investigation of enrichment possibility
Fat soluble vitamins, including vitamin D, are not sufficiently represented in the human diet. Although vitamin D can be synthesized in the body by direct exposure of the body to the sun, often people don’t get enough sun exposure to assure enough vitamin D. Previous research has established that vitamin D deficiency is considered to be a hig...

Conventional and ultrasound-assisted extraction of (poly)phenols from elderberry flowers Sambucus Nigra L.
In this paper, conventional solid-liquid extraction and ultrasound-assisted extraction were utilized for (poly)phenols extraction from black elderberry flowers. The extraction lasted 30 to 120 min, with a solid-to-solvent ratio of 1:15 w/v and 1:30 w/v and solvents of 30% and 60% ethanol. Total (poly)phenols, flavonoids and anthocyanins contents we...

Transient thermal behaviour of a substrate subjected to the activation of an electronic chip and surface cooling
Controlling the temperature of electronic components is a major interest for the electronics industry. Indeed, the lifetime of the components is directly dependent on the temperature levels reached in the electronic boards. Then, it is essential to predict the chip temperature evolution in order to maximize their lifespan. The electronic boards are...

XANTHAN PRODUCTION ON CRUDE GLYCEROL BY LAB-SCALE BIOREACTOR CULTIVATION OF LOCAL Xanthomonas ISOLATE
Intensive development of the global biodiesel industry has led to the generation of a large excess of crude glycerol, which is impure, and its disposal into the environment is unacceptable without previous purification. Since purification costs are high, the application of crude glycerol in biotechnological production of valueadded products represe...
