In the present study, an innovative method to produce cellulose nanocrystals is proposed. The conventional production of uses concentrated solutions strong acids promote hydrolysis amorphous regions and hemicelluloses. However, in method, long duration washing steps low temperature resistance still limit their larger industrialization some applications processes or end-uses that require heat resistance, like extrusion. this context, use subcritical water (120 °C 20.3 MPa for 60 min) allows...
The aim of this research was to determine the effects on growth variables and leaf mineral concentration tomato plants watered with nutrient solutions containing amino acids. Two separate experiments were then carried out achieve goal. In first experiment, seven different consisting half-strength Hoagland solution supplemented single (Alanine, Serine, Phenylalanine, Tyrosine) or combined (Ala + Ser; Phe Tyr) acids, each at 0.2 mM concentration. control did not have any acids added. Relative...
In the present work, an abundant and unused residue (wheat straw) has been employed to synthesize a polyol as substituent of castor oil in polyurethane foams. The liquefied product showed excellent properties for proposed application. Castor was substituted with up 50% wheat straw formulation foams, which were prepared using two different isocyanates (methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) toluene-2,4-diisocyanate (TDI)). evaluation physical, mechanical, thermal foams revealed that these...
Films containing bay leaves essential oils (BEOs) were prepared and evaluated for edible packaging applications. The BEOs extracted by the Soxhlet method, using ethanol or methanol as organic solvent. Then, films “solvent casting” technique carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), with different concentrations as-obtained (from 1% to 30% wt.). resulting characterized evaluate their physical (thickness, moisture content, water solubility vapor permeability), optical (transparency UV-light barrier),...
