The performance of three hydrophobic carboxylic acid based Deep Eutectic Solvents were evaluated for the extraction 1-butanol and acetonitrile from aqueous solution. To do so, phase diagrams five ternary systems {[DL-menthol: lauric acid] + water 1-butanol}, capric acetonitrile}, {[TBAMBr:capric 1-butanol} {[TBAMBr: measured at 298.15 K atmospheric pressure. Liquid-liquid equilibria data used t...

The addition of saturated C6, C8, C10, and C12 fatty acids appeared to lyse actively growing cells of Bacillus subtilis 168, as judged by a decrease in the optical density of the culture. Of these fatty acids, dodecanoic acid was the most effective, with 50% lysis occurring in about 30 min at a concentration of 0.5 mM. These conditions also decreased the amount of peptidoglycan estimated by the...

A series of fatty acid binary eutectic mixtures were prepared by using capric acid, lauric myristic palmitic and stearic (CA, LA, MA, PA, SA) as raw materials. The phase diagrams these drawn the Schrader equation. thermal properties structure determined differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). stability was assessed thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) cycling tests. DSC results showed that change ...

The structure of ferrofluids (magnetite in decahydronaphtalene) stabilized with saturated mono-carboxylic acids of different chain lengths (lauric, myristic, palmitic and stearic acids) is studied by means of magnetization analysis and small-angle neutron scattering. It is shown that in case of saturated acid surfactants, magnetite nanoparticles are dispersed in the carrier approximately with t...

Fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) extracts of four halophytic plants, viz. Arthrocnemum indicum, Salicornia brachiata, Suaeda maritima and Suaeda monoica belonging to the family Chenopodiaceae, were prepared and their composition was analyzed by GC-MS. The FAME extracts were also screened for antibacterial and antifungal activities. The GC-MS analysis revealed the presence of more saturated fatty ...
