Using biodegradable blending materials is one of the most effective ways to address plastic pollution but it hindered by its poor interfacial interaction along with high costs. Herein, an envirionmentally friendly filler, camellia seed powder (CSP)?a byproduct after defatting, reported, which first served as a compatibilizer in polylactic acid (PLA)/polybutylene succinate (PBS) blends without a...

Computerised modelling methods have become highly useful for generating electronic representations of anatomical structures. These methods rely on crosssectional tissue slices in databases such as the Visible Human Male and Female, the Visible Korean Human, and the Visible Chinese Human. However, these databases are time consuming to generate and require labour-intensive manual digitisation whi...

Several chemicals have been applied in the process of coagulant extraction from herbal seeds, and the best extraction has been obtained in the presence of KCl or NaNO3[1-3], and NaCl [4]. However, the main challenge posed to these methods of coagulant extraction is their relatively low efficiency for water treatment purposes and the formation of dissolved organic matter during the treatment pro...

Abstract Green coffee processing has been hindered by low oil extraction yields from mechanical pressing and the need of using flammable hazardous solvents for defatting protein-rich cake before subsequent protein extraction. To replace use enable simultaneous lipids proteins green beans at reduced water usage, a multistage countercurrent process was scaled up 0.05 to 1.14 kg evaluated regardin...

We have previously identified extensive glycation, bound fatty acids and increased quantities of protein aggregates in commercially available recombinant HSA (rHSA) expressed in Oryza sativa (Asian rice) (OsrHSA) when compared to rHSA from other expression systems. We propose these differences may alter some attributes of nanoparticles fabricated with OsrHSA, as studies have associated greater ...

A new method is developed for the determination of acrylamide in starch-based foods. The method included the extraction of acrylamide with water, defatting with hexane, derivatization with potassium bromate (KBrO(3)) and potassium bromide (KBr), liquid-liquid extraction with ethyl acetate-hexane (4:1), and concentration. The final analyte (2-bromopropenamide, 2-BPA) is analyzed by high-performa...

A simple analytical procedure derived from that described by Zinn and Owens (1980), based on the determination of nucleic purine bases (RNA eq), was carried out to measure microbial nitrogen flow in the ruminant duodenum. Several procedures for sample preservation were tested; the efficiency of each step of the analytical method was also determined using high performance liquid chromatography (...
