The rearrangement of the oil droplets in the film matrix during film drying, which defines its internal and surface structure, has an important role in the optical and mechanical properties of the emulsion-based films. The objective of this work was to study the effect of oil concentration and the use of surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) over color and mechanical properties of hydroxyprop...

The droplet deformation in dispersing units of high-pressure homogenizers (HPH) is examined experimentally and numerically. Due to the small size common homogenizer nozzles, visual analysis transient generation usually not possible. Therefore, a scaled setup was used. determined quantitatively by using shadow imaging technique. It shown that influence stresses on droplets caused laminar extensi...

Protein crystallization plays a fundamental role in structural biology and chemistry, drug discovery, crystallography itself. Determining how to improve the crystal growth is necessary vital during whole process. According recently published data, crystallizing proteins on nanoporous surfaces (i.e., metal–organic framework, abbreviated as MOF) faster demands less protein. However, dispersing mi...

after harvesting, pistachio nuts are generally kept in storage before being exported. during handling, thenuts are exposed to external forces that cause mechanical damage to them. the increase of the mechanicaldamage is a function of storage conditions, especially temperature. this research investigated the effect ofstorage temperature (25, 5, -5, -15°c), on the mechanical properties of pistach...

Semi-transparent composite film from rice straw-based microfibrillated cellulose and chitosan (MFC/CS) has been demonstrated to be a promising candidate light management material for the next generation optical engineering applications. Here, lignin-modified MFC was prepared successfully through green method, in which first extracted using dilute sodium hydroxy solution on homogenizer at 5000 r...

Bacterial spores have a strong resistance to both chemical and physical hurdles and create a risk for the food industry, which has been tackled by applying high thermal intensity treatments to sterilize food. These strong thermal treatments lead to a reduction of the organoleptic and nutritional properties of food and alternatives are actively searched for. Innovative hurdles offer an alternati...
