The zero-waste city challenge of the modern society is inevitably addressed to development model’s waste-to-energy. In this work, carob waste, largely used in agro-industrial sector for sugar extraction or locust beangum (LBG) production, considered as feedstock slow pyrolysis process. According Food and Agriculture Organization United Nations (FAO), 2012, world production carobs was ca. 160,00...

the essential oils of branchlets and fruits of juniperus excelsa subsp. excelsa and juniperus excelsa subsp. polycarpos were examined for their antioxidant activity. the compositions of the essential oils were studied by gc and gc-ms. to evaluation the antioxidants activity of the volatile oils, pure components and positive controls at different concentrations, thin-layer chromatography (tlc) s...

Migration is a known phenomenon defined as the partitioning of certain chemical compounds from plastic food packaging into and has been intensely investigated in recent years. Due to outstanding physical properties plastics are used many fields. Polypropylene polyethylene extensively polymers because their resistance, high tensile strength low density. To improve plastics, additives such plasti...

The fermentation products of Cordyceps sinensis (C. sinensis) mycelia are sustainable substitutes for natural C. sinensis. However, the volatile compositions of the commercial products are still unclear. In this paper, we have developed a simultaneous distillation-extraction (SDE) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) method for the profiling of volatile components in five fermentati...

During the standard heat sterilization process of the lactate–buffered peritoneal dialysis solutions, glucose (an osmotic active substance) degrades to form compounds called glucose degradation products which are cytotoxic and affect the survival of the peritoneal membrane. This case presentation is based on an observation of 224 aseptic peritonitis cases of unknown etiology. For the purpose of...
