Summary Water‐in‐oil‐in‐water (W/O/W) double emulsions are systems where a water‐in‐oil emulsion (W/O) is dispersed in second aqueous phase. The W/O exists the suspending medium as oil globules containing smaller water droplets. In this work, selection of both materials and procedures has been made order to obtain an optimal formulation W/O/W food for yield rheologica] properties. rheological properties have studied by means steady‐shear oscillatory measurements, appeared be similar those...
Summary Samples of two potato cultivars (Agria and Merit), cultivated either conventionally or organically, were analysed to evaluate their suitability transformation into powder. Agria cultivar potatoes from the conventional farming selected as most suitable for drying process both high‐dry matter good nutritional value. Blanching resulted in effective treatment prevent browning. The powder was obtained by means a drum dryer using different parameters (temperature, time product thickness)...
The organic residues from agro-food sector can be transformed into valuable economic resources rather than representing an unmanageable waste, whose disposal in landfills contributes to increase both soil pollution and the greenhouse effect. With this mind, aim of investigation is design eco-friendly compatible innovative biological processes for producing lactic acid (LA) fermentable sugars using as substrate tomato pomace. In first part investigation, we show physico-chemical...
The sPHENIX Time Projection Chamber Outer Tracker (TPOT) is a Micromegas based detector. It part of the experiment that aims to facilitate calibration Chamber, in particular correction time-averaged and beam-induced distortions electron drift. This paper describes detector mission, setup, construction, installation, commissioning performance during first year data taking.
sPHENIX is a new experiment under construction for the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider at Brookhaven National Laboratory which will study quark-gluon plasma to further understanding of QCD matter and interactions. A prototype electromagnetic calorimeter (EMCal) was tested Fermilab Test Beam Facility in Spring 2018 as T-1044. The EMCal corresponds solid angle $ \Delta \eta \times \phi = 0.2 0.2$ centered pseudo-rapidity $\eta 1$. consists scintillating fibers embedded mix tungsten powder...
In this research compositional changes of tinplate-canned tomato purées, with or without the addition essential onion oil were investigated. The study was focused on analyses carbohydrates and carboxylic acids in two groups canned samples (with nitrates) to determine whether their chemical composition affected storage time. measurements performed by high performance liquid chromatography, during six months storage. contents glucose, fructose major organic acids, citric malic, found...
A time projection chamber (TPC) is the main tracking detector for sPHENIX experiment, which recently completed installation at Brookhaven National Laboratory's Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. The TPC a high precision device that must rely on several independent calibration schemes to correct significant modifications particle tracks by non-uniformities in both electric and magnetic fields drift region, including ExB effects. These complications typically arise from mechanical misalignments...
A new electromagnetic calorimeter is being designed for the sPHENIX experiment at RHIC which consists of a tungsten powder and epoxy absorber with embedded scintillating fibers that are read out SiPMs through short acrylic light guides. The guides must be as possible in order fit inside spectrometer magnet experiment. In addition, high degree segmentation required to measure photons jets heavy ion collisions, thus leading large number individual towers approximately 25K These requirements...
