Today, the most commonly used adhesives in wood industry are fossil-based, but search for new, renewable and less hazardous, resources is intensifying. Hemicelluloses show promising bonding performance when as a component adhesives. Since batch-to-batch variations can affect use of hemicelluloses large-scale production, we have investigated effect hemicellulose molecular weight on important adh...

This paper presents the design, implementation and performance evaluation of Locust, a distributed shared virtual memory system that uses compile-time data dependency information to improve performance. The thesis of the Locust project is that the distributed shared memory program performance can closely approximate message passing program performance if compiler-generated data dependency infor...

In this study, the effect of ultrasound-assisted immersion freezing (UAF) mango sorbet in comparison to conventional freezer freezing, on course and created crystal structure, was studied. The scope work included preparation a mixture prepared basis frozen fruit with addition locust bean gum (LBG), guar commercial mix carrageenan without stabilizers, it using equipment, variable operating param...

BACKGROUND Endo-1,4-β-mannanase is an enzyme that can catalyze the random hydrolysis of β-1, 4-mannosidic linkages in the main chain of mannans, glucomannans and galactomannans and has a number of applications in different biotechnology industries. Penicillium oxalicum is a powerful hemicellulase-producing fungus (Bioresour Technol 123:117-124, 2012); however, few previous studies have focused ...

BACKGROUND Mannans are key components of lignocellulose present in the hemicellulosic fraction of plant primary cell walls. Mannan endo-1,4-beta-mannosidases (1,4-beta-D-mannanases) catalyze the random hydrolysis of beta-1,4-mannosidic linkages in the main chain of beta-mannans. Biodegradation of beta-mannans by the action of thermostable mannan endo-1,4-beta-mannosidase offers significant tech...
