In this study, the photocatalytic degradation of azo-dye acid orange 10 was investigated using titanium dioxide catalyst suspension, irradiation with ultraviolet-C lamp and bismuth vanadate under visible light of light-emitting diode lamp. Response surface methodology was successfully employed to optimize the treatment of acid orange 10 dye and assess the interactive terms of four factors. The ...

The total acidity of orange juice is ordinarily determined by titrating a known volume of juice with a standard solution of NaOH, with phenolphthalein as indicator, the result beinog expressed as citric acid. This value includes all the substanees of an acidic nature in the juice that react with NaOH. It so happens, however, that in most fruits the chief substances reacting with NaOH are the or...

In an earlier study, an electronic tongue system (e-tongue) has been used to differentiate between orange juice made from healthy fruit and from fruit affected by the citrus greening or Huanglongbing (HLB) disease. This study investigated the reaction of an e-tongue system to the main chemicals in orange juice that impact flavor and health benefits and are also impacted by HLB. Orange juice was...

This study examined the survival of acid-adapted E. coli O157 in kombucha during fermentation and refrigerated mixed with fruit juices. Acidic non-acidic mixes were fermented at 25°C using a commercially available starter culture inoculated 5-strain mixture O157. There was >5-log reduction pathogen count for both within 7 days fermentation. For kombucha-juice blends temperature, 14 ml lemon, ap...

Four selected azo dyes (acid orange 6, acid orange 7, methyl orange and methyl red) were completely decolourised in the presence of anaerobic granular sludge, while only methyl red was degraded in aerobic conditions using a conventional activated sludge. Additional experiments with culture broth devoid of cells showed that anaerobic decolourisation of azo dyes was performed by extracellular red...

Foods that are high in citrate content generally are assumed to deliver alkali load when consumed irrespective of the accompanying cation. The object of this randomized, crossover study was to compare the effects of orange juice with those of lemonade on acid-base profile and urinary stone risks under controlled metabolic conditions. Thirteen volunteers (nine healthy subjects and four stone for...

Three new methods using titrimetric and spectrophotometry are described for the determination of Propranolol Hydrochloride (PPH) and Atenolol (AN) with potassium bromate as the oxidimetric reagent and acid dyes, Methyl orange and Indigo carmine. In direct titrimetric (method A), the drug is titrated directly with bromate in acid medium and in the presence of excess of bromide using methyl orang...

photocatalytic decolorization of methyl orange (mo) solution has been studied using phosphotungstic acid (hpa) as photocatalyst. the decolorization reaction of mo solution is photocatalysis. the paper reveals that the optimal loading of photocatalyst for decolorization of mo solution (10 mg/l) is 0.6 g/l. the results show that the photocatalytic decolorization reaction of mo with hpa in a homog...

Orange juice concentrates were packaged aseptically by a “Dole” aseptic canning machine using 6 oz metal cans. The final juice products (ll”, 34’, 44’, 58” Brix) were stored between -18” and 36°C and tested periodically for nonenzymatic browning, ascorbic acid destruction, furfural and sensory changes. Nonenzymatic browning, the main deterioration phenomena in these products, was satisfactorily...
