The orthogonal array design has been used to determine the optimum conditions for gold recovery from Zarshuran refractory gold sulfide ore (Iran) by direct cyanidation and roasting-cyanidation. The Taguchi method was used as the experimental design to determine the optimum conditions of dissolution behavior of gold with cyanidation and roasting-cyanidation from Zarshuran refractory gold ore . T...

The occurrence of furan in some food products has already been known for a few decades, and it has been reconfirmed in more recent investigations that furan is present in a variety of foodstuffs. This list of products includes roasted coffee, which has been shown to generate furan as a result of the heat treatment at roasting which is applied to achieve the desired aroma and flavour profile of ...

The present investigation was conducted to study the true retentions of α-tocopherol, tocotrienols and β-carotene in crown daisy, unripe hot pepper, onion, garlic, and red pepper as affected by various domestic cooking methods, those were, boiling, baking, stir-frying, deep-frying, steaming, roasting, and microwaving. Fatty acid compositions were determined by GC, and HPLC were used for quantif...

Coffee is a popular beverage in society. Acrylamide is an undesirable substance that will metabolically activated to carcinogens.Acrylamide formation is found to occur during the browning process, which is called Maillard reaction. This is the reaction between sugars and asparagines at temperature above 120°C. The roasting temperature of coffee is at least 200°C, meaning that coffee surely cont...

Recovery of valuable metals from red mud smelting separation slag is important for environmental protection and saving natural resources. In this paper, we propose a recycling process by mineral phase reconstruction conducted under an air atmosphere. process, NaOH Ca(OH)2 roasting Al2O3 NaAlSiO4 was performed, SiO2 were converted into alkaline-soluble NaAlO2 Ca2SiO4, respectively. the consequen...

Noni leaves have been used for a variety of health benefits for thousands of years. Noni leaf tea, a commercial product made by a roasting process, is attracting more attention due to its potential health benefits. Flavonoids appear to be some of the predominant constituents in noni leaves. As flavonoids exist mostly in the forms of glycosides or polymers, degradation to corresponding metabolit...

The influence that food heating has on the concentration of acrylamide in home-cooked potato dishes prepared by high-temperature, such as pan-frying, deep-frying, roasting and microwave heating was analyzed. The experiment was performed with commercially available deep-frozen par-fried French fries and deep-frozen par-fried potato products other than French fries (cubes, wedges, noisettes, panc...

Coffea arabica (arabica) and Coffea canephora (robusta) are the most important coffee species. Arabica has higher commercial value and, in general, more favorable sensory characteristics. After roasting, analytical methods are required to differentiate species. Blends with different proportions of arabica/robusta coffees, roasted at three degrees were studied. Color parameters and the levels of...

Central composite rotatable of response surface methodology experimental design was used to determine effect of mash quantity and roasting duration on physical, pasting and sensory properties of gari. Five levels of quantity (317, 400, 600, 800 and 882.2 g) and roasting time (37.1, 35, 40, 45 and 47.1 min) were used at a fixed roasting temperature (95oC). The responses were moisture, pH, bulk d...
