The behavior of SFE-171 used for food fortification was studied. The biological and nutritional properties of this new iron source are discussed in this work.

Solid phase extraction (SPE) and supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) have become established in the field of analytical chemistry over the last five years. Both techniques are alternatives to classical analytical extraction methods used to separate analytes from solid and liquid matrices. SFE is an alternative to traditional liquid-solid extraction methods, the two most common being soxhlet an...

in this study, the effect of tensile test temperature (148 to 673 k) on the microstructural evolutions and the mechanicalproperties of high manganese twinning induced plasticity (twip) steel with the chemical composition of fe-31mn-3al-3si (wt. %) was investigated. xrd, sem and tem were used to study the microstructural evolutions.stacking fault energy (sfe) of the alloy was also calculated by ...

Egg consumption, at more than 65 billion per year in the United States, represents a potentially significant source of exposure to drug residues, particularly if the laying hens are treated with antimicrobial compounds or fed a diet containing medicated feed. Residues resulting from the use of chloramphenicol (CAP) is especially problematic if this compound is not used in accordance with nation...

The gas-like mass transfer properties and liquid-like solvation characteristics of supercritical fluid make it a promising medium in performing extractory and chromatographic separations, i.e., supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) and supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC), respectively. The tunable solvation properties of supercritical carbon dioxide not only improve SFE's efficiency and spe...

Transport constraints limit competition and arbitrageurs’possibilities of exploiting price differences between goods in neighbouring markets, especially when storage capacity is negligible. We analyse this in markets where strategic producers compete with supply functions, as in wholesale electricity markets. For networks with a radial structure, we show that existence of supply function equili...

Extraction and chromatographic separation of fat-soluble vitamins is a challenging task, due to the sensitivity of these compounds towards light, oxygen, heat and pH. In light of this, supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) and supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) are attractive techniques as they function at considerably milder conditions than conventional solvent-based analytical techniques...

Recent developments have made two-party secure function evaluation (2P-SFE) vastly more efficient. However, due to extensive use of cryptographic operations, these protocols remain too slow for practical use by most applications. The introduction of Intel’s Software Guard Extensions (SGX), which provide an environment for the isolated execution of code and handling of data, offers an opportunit...

Coniferyl ferulate, which is noted for its multiple pharmacological activities and chemical instability, is abundant in Angelica sinensis. In this paper, five methods, namely sonication extraction (SE), pressurized liquid extraction (PLE), supercritical fluid extraction (SFE), hydrodistillation (HD) and decoction (DC) for extraction of coniferyl ferulate, as well as ferulic acid, Z/E-ligustilid...

Fractionation of plant compounds to produce active purified fractions is a multi-step process, time-consuming and sometimes very expensive. This paper presents a single-step fractionation of tannins from a local plant, Phyllanthus niruri Linn. using supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) method. The effects of operating conditions (pressure, temperature, flow rate, cosolvent content and ethanol-w...
