Impact of varying analytical methodologies on grain particle size determination

Effects of Varying Methodologies on Grain Particle Size Analysis

Particle size reduction is an important component of feed manufacturing that impacts pellet quality, feed flowability, and pig feed efficiency. The correct determination of particle size is important for feed manufacturers, nutritionists, and pork producers to meet target specifications. The current method for determining the geometric mean diameter (dgw) and geometric standard deviation (Sgw) ...

Analytical Methodologies for the Determination of Oseltamivir

Oseltamivir phosphate is an antiviral drug used in the treatment and prophylaxis of both influenza virus A and influenza virus B. Oseltamivir phosphate is an ethyl ester pro-drug that is rapidly and extensively metabolized by esterases in the gastrointestinal tract and liver to its active form, oseltamivir carboxylate. There are some analytical methods in the literature for the analysis of both...

Influence of synthetic methodologies on the particle size of Hydroxyapatite

Hydroxyapatite (HAP) is the major mineral constituent of bones and teeth. It has been well documented that HAP nanoparticles can significantly increase the biocompatibility and bioactivity of man-made biomaterials. Since last decade, the HAP nanoparticles have increasingly been in demand and extensive efforts have been devoted to develop many synthetic routes to synthesis it. Several investigat...

Grain Processing: Particle Size Reduction Methods

INTRODUCTION Cereal grains generally are the primary source of energy in feedlot diets. Availability of energy from the grain depends largely on the type of grain used as well processing of that grain (Owens et al., 1997). A variety of grain processing techniques are used including grinding, steam flaking, and compiling high moisture corn to ferment. Each processing method differs in its nutrit...
