Thermal gelation of mixed egg yolk/kappa-carrageenan dispersions
(Elsevier, 2017-04)
This study aims to evaluate the effect of gum content and pH on the thermal gelation of mixed egg yolk/κ-carrageenan (EY/κC) dispersions, monitored by linear viscoelastic measurements. Heat processing induces dramatic ...

Development of PVA/gelatin nanofibrous scaffolds for Tissue Engineering via electrospinning
(IOP Publishing, 2018)
The electrospinning process is an emerging and relatively easy technique to prepare three-dimensional matrices with micro- and nanofibers. To achieve it, aqueous polymer solutions from synthetic or natural polymers are ...

Emulsifying properties of legume proteins at acidic conditions: Effect of protein concentration and ionic strength
(Elsevier, 2016)
This work is focused on emulsifying properties of pea, chickpea and lentil protein isolates at acidic conditions (pH 3), as affected by protein concentration and ionic strength. Emulsions characteristics and stability ...

Phytoremediation of highly contaminated mining soils by Jatropha curcas L. and production of catalytic carbons from the generated biomass
(Elsevier, 2019-02)
This paper deals with the removal of heavy metals from marginal soil mixtures from the Cobre Las Cruces and Aznalcóllar mining areas containing high concentrations of metals (Cr, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd, Hg, Pb and As) by means ...

Methanogenic, Acidogenic and Hydrolytic activity tests of an anaerobic sludge of municipal wastewater plant
(IARAS, 2019)
The determination of methanogenic and non-methanogenic activity requires careful analysis because don’t exist a standardized method to find this bioindicator. Therefore, we wanted to evaluate and optimize this analytical ...

Reversible pH-sensitive chitosan-based hydrogels. Influence of dispersion composition on rheological properties and sustained drug delivery
(MDPI, 2018)
The present work deals with the synthesis of micro-structured biomaterials based on chitosan (CTS) for their applications as biocompatible carriers of drugs and bioactive compounds. Twelve dispersions were prepared by ...

Extraction of phenolic compounds and production of biomethane from strawberry and raspberry extrudates
(Elsevier, 2019)
This study proposes a biorefinery approach system to treat two berry extrudates generated by the berry-tasted products industry. The berry extrudates studied were strawberry extrudate (SE1 and SE2) and raspberry extrudate ...

Interfacial and foaming properties of bovine β-lactoglobulin: Galactose Maillard conjugates
(Elsevier, 2012)
In this paper, the effect of the initial and advanced steps of glycosylation by Maillard reaction (MR) (glycation) of β-lactoglobulin (β-Lg) with galactose on the interfacial and foaming (foamability and foam stability) ...

A Theoretical Study on the Inclusion of Fe, Cu, and Zn in Illite Clays
(Hindawi, 2019)
The inclusion of Fe, Cu, and Zn in (1, 0, 0), (0, 0.5, 0), and (0.5, 0.5, 0.5) sites of an illite with the KAl2Si4O12H2 structure has been studied. For the inclusion of the metals, their common oxidation states were chosen, ...

Online monitoring of electrical conductivity of wine induced by ultrasound
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)
We assessed the effects of ultrasonic frequency, power, temperature and exposure time on the electric conductivity (EC) of wine to evaluate the feasibility of the online EC monitoring as an indicator to reflect the changes ...
