Introduction of the Inductively coupled plasma (ICP–OES) method for the characterization of ”Guber” Srebrenica mineral waters
The mineral waters of "Guber" Srebrenica are highly mineralized waters with a significant content of soluble iron. They belong to iron-sulfate waters, which are rich in arsenic and therefore also called iron-arsenic waters with low pH values. Some of the "Guber" waters of Srebrenica were used for therapeutic purposes in the past. Spectrophotometric...

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...

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...

Momentum-heat-mass transfer analogy in gas-solid packed bed at elevated temperatures
The experimental values of the friction factor (fp) at ambient and elevated temperatures as well as of the heat transfer coefficient (hp) were used to establish the analogy between momentum and heat transfer in gas-solid packed beds of monosized spherical glass particles, as jH=fp/22 or jHε=fp/50. Also, the Chilton-Colburn type of momentum-...

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...
