extraction of oil from poor quality pistachios results in increased add-value. in this study, the performance of different solvents in recovery of valuable oil and meal from the pistachio sample contaminated with aflatoxin was investigated and some chemical properties of the extracted oil were determined. the pistachio nut oil was extracted by three solvent systems including n-hexane (non- pola...

cottonseed is considered among most important crops. it contains about 26 percent oil that ‎in used for vegetable oil production. after oil extraction, the remaining part of the seed know as ‎cottonseed cake with 45 percent protein is routinely used as a protein supplement in feed ‎rations for livestock and less for food use due to presence of gossypol, a toxic constituent of ‎cottonseed.‎ in t...

Astaxanthin is a xanthophyll carotenoid possessing impressive nutraceutical, antioxidant, and bioactive merits. Traditionally, astaxanthin extracted from crustacean wastes via solvent extraction methods. However, the rigid structure of shells that comprise complex proteins chitin challenges process. This investigation addressed an efficient microbial-assisted method to facilitate recovery crab ...

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a major class of organic hydrocarbons with high molecular weight that originate from both natural and anthropogenic sources. Sixteen PAHs are included in the U.S Environmental Protection agency list of priority pollutants due to their mutagenic, carcinogenic, toxic and teratogenic properties. In this study, the development and optimization of a simpli...

this work undertakes the study of the detoxification reactions of o, s-dimethyl phosphoramidithioate (methamidophos) as an organophophorus insecticide on the 14.7 wt% magnetite (fe3o4) nanoparticles/ag-nay faujasite molecular sieve zeolite (fmsz) composite. the influence of solvent (methanol, acetonitrile and n-hexane) on the detoxification potential of composite was investigated. for this surv...
