Acrylamide in food productschiefly commercially available potato chips, fries, cereals, and breadwas determined by liquid chromatography−tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Samples were homogenized with water/dichloromethane, centrifuged, filtered through a 5 kDa filter. The filtrate was cleaned up on mixed mode, anion cation exchange (Oasis MAX MCX) carbon (Envirocarb) cartridges. Analysis done isotope dilution ([D3]- or [13C3]acrylamide) electrospray LC-MS/MS using 2 × 150 mm (or 100 mm)...
Lattice parameter and density data were compiled for Y 2 O 3 ‐Stabilized ZrO , both from the literature experimental measurements. The are described very well over a wide range of composition by model Aleksandrov et al. which assumes substitution Zr in unit cell with compensating anion vacancies. Effects noted two‐phase cubic‐tetragonal materials indicate significant lattice strains materials.
A polysulfide material was synthesized by the direct reaction of sulfur and d-limonene, by-products petroleum citrus industries, respectively. The resulting processed into functional coatings or molded solid devices for removal palladium mercury salts from water soil. binding mercury(II) to sulfur-limonene resulted in a color change. These properties motivate application next-generation environmental remediation sensing.
Abstract Mercury pollution threatens the environment and human health across globe. This neurotoxic substance is encountered in artisanal gold mining, coal combustion, oil gas refining, waste incineration, chloralkali plant operation, metallurgy, areas of agriculture which mercury‐rich fungicides are used. Thousands tonnes mercury emitted annually through these activities. With Minamata Convention on entering force this year, increasing regulation imminent. It therefore critical to provide...
The free amino acid profile and sugar (fructose, glucose, sucrose) composition were determined in potato samples selected to give a large range of variation (a total 66 samples). From these French fries produced laboratory-scale simulation an industrial process followed by finish fry at 180 °C for 3.5 min using restaurant fryer. final product was blast frozen analyzed acrylamide. Acrylamide detected all samples, but its concentration varied significantly from 50 1800 ng/g. For isotope...
Abstract Crude oil and hydrocarbon fuel spills are a perennial threat to aquatic environments. Inexpensive sustainable sorbents needed mitigate the ecological harm of this pollution. To address need, study features low‐density polysulfide polymer that is prepared by direct reaction sulfur used cooking oils. Because both oils hydrophobic, has an affinity for hydrocarbons such as crude diesel can rapidly remove them from seawater. Through simple mechanical compression, be recovered reused in...
Polymers made by inverse vulcanization can be assembled, repaired, and recycled at room temperature through nucleophile-catalyzed S–S metathesis.
A controlled-release fertiliser was prepared by the inverse vulcanisation of canola oil in presence nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium nutrients.
Sulfur is an underused by-product of the petrochemicals industry. Recent research into inverse vulcanization has shown how this excess sulfur can be transformed functional polymers, by stabilization with organic crosslinkers. For these interesting new materials to realize their potential for applications, more understanding and control physical properties needed. Here we report four terpolymers prepared from two distinct alkene monomers that predictively tuned in glass transition, molecular...

There was a change simple grading maximum growing falling through senescent to dead fallen minimum decayed or stored dry leaves. Tannin stripping especially hydrolysis reduction released polyphenolic substances. role formation is discussed.
Summary The two pure polyphenols, D‐ and epi ‐catechin, known to be present in the fresh green leaves of a number tree species, have been shown capable reducing ferric iron, form hydrated oxide, an organic ferrous complex solubilizing it much same way as do Bloomfield's leaf extracts. These polyphenols can remove even when held firmly Triassic sand, transport iron at low pH. Model soils, consisting alumina diatomaceous earth impregnated with chloride, were treated catechin solutions...
ABSTRACT Introduction Fluid thickeners used in the management of oropharyngeal dysphagia exhibit non‐Newtonian shear‐thinning rheology, impacting their viscosity during deglutition. This study investigated how rheological properties thickened fluids affect pharyngeal swallowing parameters patients with motor disorders diagnosed by high‐resolution manometry impedance (P‐HRM‐I). Methods Seventy‐two (18–89 years) referred for P‐HRM‐I were diagnostically assessed a 10 mL thin bolus. In 57...
Abstract Microwave radiation has been clearly shown to result in enhancement of the rate reaction for an imidization reaction. Analysis kinetic parameters showed that apparent activation energy was reduced from 105 55 kJ/mol, under conditions this experiment. The mechanism which proposed explain is based on concept a nonuniform temperature molecular scale, rather than true reduction energy. © 1992 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
Abstract Thirty retail samples of heat-processed corn foods, i.e. flakes, corn-based breakfast cereals, tortilla chips and chips, were analysed for fumonisins — fumonisin B1 (FB1), B2 (FB2) hydrolysed FB1 (HFB1) as well protein- total-bound FB1. Bound (hidden) cannot be detected by conventional analysis. Improved methods the determination bound developed. The protein-bound was extracted with 1% sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) solution. SDS, which interfered high-performance liquid chromatography...

Concentrated Solar Thermal Power has an advantage over other renewable technologies because it can provide 24-hour power availability through its integration with a thermal energy storage system. Phase change materials in the form of eutectic salt mixtures show great promise as potential medium. These salts are typically low cost, have large density, easily sourced/abundant and their use environmental impact. Implementing molten part system, however, comes some unique challenges. There...
