Deep Eutectic Solvents pretreatment of agro-industrial food waste

Background Waste biomass from agro-food industries are a reliable and readily exploitable resource. From the circular economy point of view, direct residues from these industries exploited for production of fuel/chemicals is a winning issue, because it reduces the environmental/cost impact and improves the eco-sustainability of productions. Results The present paper reports recent results of ...

Food-Grade Synthesis of Maillard-Type Taste Enhancers Using Natural Deep Eutectic Solvents (NADES).

The increasing demand for healthier food products, with reduced levels of table salt, sugar, and mono sodium glutamate, reinforce the need for novel taste enhancers prepared by means of food-grade kitchen-type chemistry. Although several taste modulating compounds have been discovered in processed foods, their Maillard-type ex food production is usually not exploited by industrial process react...

Food Simulating Organic Solvents for Evaluating Crosslink Density of Bulk Fill Composite Resin

Objectives. To evaluate crosslink densities of two bulk fill composite resins and determine if the used Food Simulating Organic Solvent (FSOS) affected them. Methods. Forty specimens were prepared from SureFill and SonicFill bulk fill composite resins, 20 each. All specimens were stored dry for 24 h. Each group was divided into 2 subgroups: stored in ethanol (E) 75% or in methyl ethyl ketone (M...

Chlorinated solvents

Water in nonaqueous solvents*

The possibility and usefulness of sinple liquid models is reported. The importance of van der Waals forces for liquid water and aqueous solutions is discussed and compared with the solubility of water in nonpolar solvents and as well as of nonpolar solvents in water. Both systems could be understood as equilibrium of few water monomers. The network of H-bonded water molecules seems to be less i...
