Controlled-release fertilizers are interesting alternatives to current commercial chemical fertilizers, which present a higher nutrient release rate, and can negatively impact the ecosystem. In this work, two urea controlled-release fertilizer types were manufactured from carnauba wax (CW), granulated (U), natural sodium bentonite (Bent-R Bent-Na, respectively). first type, mechanochemical meth...

introduction: raisin is a principal traditional export product of iran and has a special position in the foreign trade of the country.during storage, the product turns sticky and hard due to exudates syrup and moisture loss. to solve this problem, the application of edible coating would be an appropriatesolution. edible coating may enhance the boundary layer resistance resulting to the enhanced...

Perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs) are emerging luminescent materials for a wide range of technological applications. The broad adaptation PNCs will be greatly improved by addressing their intrinsically low stability and developing processes assembly into 2D 3D structures using facile approaches. Inspired the mechanism natural protection leaves, this paper proposes carnauba wax (CW) as an encapsula...

The objective of this study was to develop a wax-oleogel (soybean oil—SBO, peanut oil—PNO, and carnauba wax—CBW) be used as fat replacer for ice cream formulations. oleogels were structured with 6%, 8%, 10% CBW characterized by oil binding capacity (OBC), visual evaluation, thermal properties (DSC), microstructure polarized light microscopy (PLM). All resulted in firm stable gel 60 days, regard...
