The aims of this study were to determine improved kineticparameters in five kinetic models for oxidation of n-butane intomaleic anhydride in an industrial fixed-bed reactor, and tosimulate the reactor performance. On the basis of the measuredprocess parameters, inlet and outlet concentrations of n-butanewere calculated and then used to fit the kine...

Emerging technologies, like High Hydrostatic Pressure, heat treatments on low temperatures, and ultra-sonication, have an increasing tendency in industrial application. Vitamin enriched foods, like eggs, are considered as functional foods, but for high retention of biologically active compounds adequate minimal processing technologies are needed. I...

Scattering of optical photons from the view of parallel methods related to absorption, scattering, fluorescence, reflection with inclusion of the polarization states of laser beams from experiment and theory give many possibilities for obtaining indirect data on material, processes, and dynamics. As a method with minimal perturbations, if low power...

Schiff bases are organic compounds formed by the reaction of the primary amine with carbonyl compounds (aldehydes or ketones). These are mainly bi- or tridentate ligands capable of forming very stable complexes with transitional metals. They are used as catalysts in oxygenation, hydrolysis, electro-reduction and decomposition reactions. Many Shiff ...

This work explores the preliminary feasibility of employing low-pressure cold plasma technology for the modification of the properties of chia flour. Chia flour was exposed to low-pressure plasma in the air for 5 min, 10 min, and 15 min, at two different power levels (40 W and 60 W). The oils extracted from untreated and treated chia flour were exh...

The aim of this paper is to develop specification for the production of roasted coffee with improved nutritional quality. In this sense, the influence of different coffee blends and temperatures of roasting on the antioxidant activity of coffee was examined. Also, the composition of some bioactive components in the analyzed samples was determined. ...

Meat is one of the most nutritious foods that humans can consume, and is defined as the flesh (skeletal muscles) of animals used as food. In addition to protein and fat, meat is a significant source of several micronutrients (minerals and vitamins). Edible offal is also a form of meat which is used as food, but which is not skeletal muscles, and in...

The presence of phenolic compounds as one of the most common organic pollutants in natural water (surface and ground waters) has been detected as a worldwide problem. Very small concentrations of phenols affect the quality of both environmental and household waters, and directly or indirectly impact lives in aquatic systems and humans, as well. Mos...
