Developing bactericidal coatings using simple green chemical methods could be a promising route to potential environmentally friendly applications. Here, we describe an environmentally friendly chemistry approach to synthesize metal-nanoparticle (MNP)-embedded paint, in a single step, from common household paint. The naturally occurring oxidative drying process in oils, involving free-radical e...

Vegetable oils are the most important source of fat in the human diet. Derived from an array of vegetable sources, oils are extracted and processed for a variety of food uses. In the demanding and competitive edible fats and oils marketplace, the product evaluation criteria are important for both customers and suppliers. Soybean oil is very popular with rich value of Omega 3 and Omega 6. Those ...

The objective of this work was to evaluate the influence of inlet air temperature and emulsion composition (total solid content and oil concentration), as well as its associated properties (viscosity and droplet size), on the microencapsulation of flaxseed oil by spray drying, using gum Arabic as wall material. Coarse emulsions were prepared by blending the flaxseed oil and the gum Arabic solut...

We report a new methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMS) based route to growing a Janus silica film at the oil–water interface, which upon drying shows anisotropic wetting by water on its two surfaces. The contact angle of water on the surface grown in contact with the oil-side is found to be 150 , but it is much smaller, 65 , on the side which grew in contact with the aqueous phase. This large difference...

The purpose of this experiment was to determine and compare the digestibility of crude protein (CP) and amino acids (AA) in full-oil (no oil extracted) and de-oiled (oil extracted) corn distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) with different condensed distillers solubles (CDS) ratios. Six barrows (29.6±2.3 kg) fitted with ileal T-cannula were allotted into a 6×6 Latin square design. Each pe...

Acquisition of desiccation tolerance and the related changes at the cellular level in wheat (Triticum aestivum cv. Priokskaya) kernels during normal development and premature drying on the ear were studied using a spin probe technique and low temperature scanning electron microscopy. During normal development, the ability of embryos to germinate after rapid drying and rehydration was acquired a...

In the present study, the application of a BP neural network for prediction of the moisture content of barberry fruit (berberis vulgaris) during drying was investigated. The important parameters namely, pretreatment (heat shocking, olive oil + K2CO3 and NAT), air drying temperature (60, 70 and 80oC), air drying velocity (0.3, 0.5 and 1 m/s) and time (s) were considered as the input parameters a...

MANY of the conventional types of freezing-drying apparatus employ an oil or mercury diffusion-pump, backed by a rotary pump, to obtain the high vacua necessary to ensure that the water molecules which escape from the specimens have sufficient mean free path to enable them to reach the vapour trap. Clearly, the efficiency of the freezing-drying process might be greatly increased if the specimen...

Abstract Understanding how the evolving molecular composition of an oil paint layer on its transition to aged solid film affects dimensional change and mechanical properties is fundamental assessment material durability more broadly risk degradation paintings. Tensile properties—modulus elasticity strain at break—as well as cumulative shrinkage were determined for a selection paints from Meckle...
