A gluten-free diet is the only available therapy for people with celiac disease (CD) and wheat allergy (WA). Given that this type of diet is difficult to implement because there is a possibility that gluten-free products could be contaminated with gluten, the aim of this paper was to examine the effect of cold plasma treatment on gluten proteins pr...

In this paper a mathematical model for the soda ash drying process in a pneumatic dryer was presented. The model presents a macroscopic aspect of the drying process, for a two-phase, gas-solid system. The model is based on mass and heat transfer between the gas phase and the particle, movement of air and particles through the system, and geometric ...

Modern problems of the Earth’s population are increasing in the areas related to the basic concepts of survival of living beings, but also with opposite views, if parallels are made between energy and ecology. Many new technologies are searching for their way towards development and must be viewed from several points of view. In this paper, t...
