The paper investigates and recommends the multicomponent composition of cottonseed oil subjected to adsorption purification, divided into macro-and micro-impurities, according qualitative composition: substances that have an acidic, coloring unsaponifiable nature. authors come conclusion it is necessary develop a combined thermally differentiated capable purification on local activated sorbents.

Aflatoxins (AF) are a class of mycotoxins that impair poultry health and performance by causing immune suppression, liver damage, and changes in serum chemistry. The toxic effects of AF can be efficiently counteracted by some adsorbents. The aim of this study was to investigate fully characterized clay adsorbents in a feeding trial with broiler chickens to correlate in vitro and in vivo AF deto...

Based on a bibliographic review, the article identifies and offers a critical analysis of scientific production by the public health field in Brazil on genetically modified organisms and food (in)security. Of the 716 articles found on the portals of the Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) and the Coordinating Agency for the Development of Higher Education (Capes), only 8 address the f...

Public opposition to genetically modified organisms (GMOs) remains strong. By contrast, studies demonstrate again and again that GM crops make a valuable contribution to the development of a sustainable type of agriculture. The discrepancy between public opinion and the scientific evidence requires an explanation. We argue that intuitive expectations about the world render the human mind vulner...

Bentonites are considered to be the most suitable materials for multibarrier system of high-level radioactive waste repositories. Since BCV bentonite has been proved an ideal representative Czech Ca-Mg bentonites in this respect, it included Radioactive Waste Repository Authority (SÚRAO) buffer and backfill R&D programme. Detailed knowledge processes material induced by thermal loading prov...
