the present study examined the effect of packaging film on the quantitative and qualitative properties of button mushrooms. the three types of packaging tested were a clear polyvinyl chloride box, polyvinyl chloride stretch film and biaxially-oriented polypropylene film (bopp). the five types of moisture absorbers examined were silica gel (2.5 g, 1.25 g), sodium chloride (2.5 g, 1.25 g), and si...

BACKGROUND Most older adults with urinary incontinence use absorbent pads. Because of exposure to moisture and chemical irritating substances in urine, the perineal skin region is always at risk for development of incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD). The aim of this study was to examine the efficacy of an improved absorbent pad against IAD. METHODS A cluster randomized controlled design ...

Abstract Absorbent packaging is a form of food designed to absorb excess liquid and moisture that may be present in products. This article provides bibliometric analysis the literature on food-absorbent packaging. The was conducted using Scopus database, 121 documents were selected for study. According study’s findings, number publications absorbent has grown over time. As productive countries,...

application of soil conditioners for remediation of saline- sodic soils is one of the common methods for improving soil properties in arid and semi-arid regions. in order to study the effect of soil conditioners on retention of soil moisture content, an experiment was carried out based on randomized complete block design with three replications in a saline-sodic sandy clay loam soil. the treatm...

The role of moisture absorptive capacity of pre-silage material and its relationship with silage effluent in high moisture by-product feedstuffs (HMBF) is assessed. The term water retention capacity which is sometimes used in explaining the rate of effluent control in ensilage may be inadequate, since it accounts exclusively for the capacity of an absorbent incorporated into a pre-silage materi...

This study reports a preparation method of a new moisture swing sorbent for CO2 capture from air. The new sorbent components include ion exchange resin (IER) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) as a binder. The IER can absorb CO2 when surrounding is dry and release CO2 when surrounding is wet. The manuscript presents the studies of membrane structure, kinetic model of absorption process, performance o...

The study of spatial distribution characteristics of the adsorbed compounds for absorbent materials has significant importance in understanding the behaviors of aerosols while they migrating in the absorbent materials. Herein, for the first time, desorption corona beam ionization-mass spectrometry (DCBI-MS) has proposed for direct in-situ analysis of adsorbed aerosol for absorbent materials. DC...

Since its introduction in 1940, the plaster of Paris block method of measuring soil moisture by means of electrical resistance (4) has been widely employed in agricultural fields. Hydrologic research2 (16), war production problems involving guayule culture (11, 12), and many other investigations ranging from field irrigation to greenhouse studies have made use of this technique. Briefly, the me...

Entomopathogenic fungi are promising pest-control agents but their industrial applicability is limited by their thermosusceptibility. With an aim to increase the thermotolerance of Isaria fumosorosea SFP-198, moisture absorbents were added to dried conidial powder, and the relationship between its water potential and thermotolerance was investigated. Mycotized rice grains were dried at 10℃, 20℃...
