Near infrared (NIR) reflectance and Raman spectrometry were compared for determination of the oil and water content of olive pomace, a by-product in olive oil production. To enable comparison of the spectral techniques the same sample sets were used for calibration (1.74-3.93% oil, 48.3-67.0% water) and for validation (1.77-3.74% oil, 50.0-64.5% water). Several partial least squares (PLS) regre...

In this work, the potential for energy production in Jordan was explored using four distinct types of biomass samples (olive cakes, woods). The proximate analysis, oil content, and higher heating value were all determined experimentally compared to other previously published literature. findings appear be similar materials utilized as solid biofuel feed-stock materials. Olive cake wood have low...

Obesity occurs when a person's calorie intake exceeds the amount of energy burns, which may lead to pathologic growth of adipocytes and the accumulation of fat in the tissues. In this study, the effect and mechanism of pear pomace extracts on 3T3-L1 adipocyte differentiation and apoptosis of mature adipocytes were investigated. The effects of pear pomace extract on cell viability and the anti-a...

In this study, solid olive mill waste (SOMW) was used to obtain antioxidant compounds using solid–liquid extraction. The effect of different extraction methods, namely microwave-assisted (MAE), ultrasound-assisted (UAE), Soxhlet, and conventional solvent extraction, on the yield, total phenolics, activity SOMW extracts investigated. Untreated dried were subjected with water methanol. evaluated ...
