Amaranth seeds contain oil with important nutritional properties, in particular, because of the presence essential fatty acids, high content minerals, vitamins, lysine and squalene. In this study, kinetics supercritical fluid extraction from three amaranth seed varieties has been investigated. The average was 58.2 g/kg, ranging 54.6 to 61.1 g/kg depends on varieties, while squalene ranged 3.3 3...

An approach that combined green-solvent methods of extraction with chromatographic chemical fingerprint and pattern recognition tools such as principal component analysis (PCA) was used to evaluate the quality of medicinal plants. Pressurized hot water extraction (PHWE) and microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) were used and their extraction efficiencies to extract two bioactive compounds, namely...

Running Title: Chiral analysis of microalgae amino acids by MEKC-LIF ABSTRACT In this work, a chiral and a non-chiral micellar electrokinetic chromatography with laser-induced fluorescence detection (MEKC-LIF) have been combined to identify and quantify a group of D-and L-amino acids (D/L-aa) in different microalgae samples. The combination of the non-chiral and chiral-MEKC-LIF methods made eas...

Antarctic ice streams are associated with pressurized subglacial meltwater but the role this water plays in the dynamics of the streams is not known. To address this, we present a model of subglacial water flow below ice sheets, and particularly below ice streams. The base-level flow is fed by subglacial melting and is presumed to take the form of a rough-bedded film, in which the ice is suppor...
