An in vitro experiment was carried out to assess how nonstarch polysaccharide (NSP)-degrading enzymes influence the fermentation of dietary fiber in the pig large intestine. Seven wheat and barley products and cultivars with differing carbohydrate fractions were hydrolyzed using pepsin and pancreatin in the presence or not of NSP-degrading enzymes (xylanase and β-glucanase) and the filter reten...

The food industry is focused on developing plant-based foods that incorporate pea protein isolates. However, these ingredients are often described as having persistent beany, bitter, and astringent notes, which can decrease the desirability of resulting foods. These perceptions rooted in complex composition volatile non-volatile compounds aim our study was to better understand how fractions iso...

A quantitative analysis of the effects of variable ®ber properties on the performance of a cross̄ow hollow ®ber gas separation module is presented. The effects of variations in size, permeance, and selectivity are considered. Fiber variability is detrimental to performance. The recovery and ̄ow rate of an enriched retentate stream decrease as variability increases. Some ®bers may actually stop p...

Nowadays, AgNPs are extensively used in the manufacture of consumer products,(1) water disinfectants,(2) therapeutics,(1, 3) and biomedical devices(4) due to their powerful antimicrobial properties.(3-6) These nanoparticle applications are strongly influenced by the AgNP size and aggregation state. Many challenges exist in the controlled fabrication(7) and size-based isolation(4,8) of unfunctio...

High-performance membranes have emerged as an energy-efficient alternative to absorption-based postcombustion carbon capture. So far, the techno-economic analyses been centered around polymeric membranes. Recently, nanoporous single-layer graphene (NSLG) yielded large CO 2 permeance, making them attractive for Herein, we assess feasibility of NSLG-based capture using optimized process. The most...
