Abstract The evacuated-tube collector (ETC) for solar heat production is one of the most efficient systems to convert Sun energy into usable energy. Unfortunately, some technological barriers are still present in solar-thermal that limit use these technologies decarbonize processes. An important obstacle requirement at stable temperatures, which not always achievable by fields, e.g. variable sk...

Abstract In this study, safflower oil oleogels were made using propolis wax and carnauba in three different concentrations each, their effectiveness as a fat substitute cake was evaluated afterward. Oleogels' oxidative stability characterization looked into. oleogels, the binding capacity, solid content, crystallization time all assessed. The cakes underwent an examination for moisture texture,...

The dissolution characteristics of melt granulations of paracetamol in capsule and tablet dosage form were compared to determine whether the dissolution characteristics of the granules can be actualized by formulating them as rapidly disintegrating tablets. The term melt granulation refers here to the wax-matrix granules that were formed by triturating the drug powder (paracetamol) with a melte...

Pomegranate exhibits important postharvest quality losses that limit its storage potential, caused mainly by weight loss, chilling injury and fungal diseases. In this work, we evaluated the effect of novel hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) edible coatings (ECs) formulated with three different lipids (beeswax (BW), carnauba wax, glycerol monostearate), as hydrophobic components, two GRAS salt...
