Commonwealth contributions to the British diet 69 were much lower than in 1939, the decline would not appear to be permanent; it is partly explained by heavy sales to the Continent. The Union can supply processed fruit-jam, marmalade, canned fruit, dried fruit, fruit pulp and fruit juices-in substantial quantities. With some, e.g. dried fruit and fruit juices, the price obtainable militates aga...

in this research, the effect of ph onthe performance of nanobentonite -chitosan system (as dry strength additives) in hardwood chemi-mechanicalpulp (cmp) was studied.for this purpose, 3 levels of ph(5.5, 7, 8.5) and 3 levels of chitosan (0.75, 1.25 and 2% - based on oven dried pulp) in constant level of 0.3 nanobentonite(based on oven dried pulp) were applied.the atomic force microscopy(afm) im...

Three-dimensional printing is one of the most promising techniques for the manufacturing of scaffolds for bone tissue engineering. However, a pure scaffold is limited by its biological properties. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has been shown to have the potential to improve the osteogenic effect. In this study, we improved the biological properties of scaffolds by coating 3D-printed polycaprolacto...

Solid biofuels, such as bark, forest residues, sawdust, and wood chips are important mill fuels in the forest industry. They are combusted in combined heat and power plants (CHP-plants) to generate heat and electricity for pulp and paper making processes. Biofuels usually have high moisture content. The high moisture content decreases the effective heating value of fuel and makes the operation ...

Background: Orange wastes are bioactive compounds produced during the industrial transformation.The experiment was conducted to evaluate effects of feeding dried sweet orange byproducts (DOP) on broiler growth performance, serum metabolites and antioxidant status. Methods: A total 200 20-day experimental chicks were distributed into a completely randomized design which included 4 dietary treatm...

ethanol is a clean and renewable energy source. the necessity of ethanol usage, instead of fossil fuels or mixed with them, in order to reduce environmental pollution resulted in increase of ethanol production from 50 million m-3  in 2007 to 85 million  m-3 in 2012. the present study aimed to compare the cost of bio-ethanol production from sugar beet with other agricultural crops, and also econ...

Mango (Mangifera indica) and pineapple (Ananas comosus) are two important fruits with many industrial uses excellent sensory, nutritional functional characteristics. In this research work, the development of intermediate moisture edible leathers obtained by convective drying technology mixture mango pulp at 60 70 °C was carried out, evaluating their physicochemical characterization stability un...
