The objective of this work is to study the effect of the rapeseed oil content on the physical properties of whey protein emulsion films. For this purpose, whey protein films with the addition of 0, 1, 2 and 3% of rapeseed oil, and glycerol as a plasticizer were obtained by the casting method. Film-forming emulsions were evaluated and compared using light scattering granulometry. The Sauter mean...

Although various biological aspects of Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) have been examined, adult movement and dispersal of this insect pest is not well understood. Release-recapture techniques by using marked insects is a useful approach for dispersal studies; however, the marking technique should not significantly affect insect biology or behavior. Therefore, the ef...

The water-soluble fractions of three crude and two refined oils reduced the growth rate and maximum cell density of the marine bacterium Serratia marinorubra grown in batch culture. The weathering of a crude and a refined oil was simulated in the laboratory. The water-soluble fractions remaining from this process were more toxic to S. marinorubra than were the parent unweathered oils. Increases...

We present a modulated gradient spin-echo method (MGSE), which uses a train of sinusoidally shaped gradient pulses separated by 180-degree RF pulses. The RF pulses efficiently refocus chemical shifts and de-phasing due to susceptibility differences, resulting in undistorted, high-resolution diffusion weighted spectra. This allows for simultaneous spectral characterization of diffusion of severa...

Process approaches and intensification technological processes are integrated parts of available devices, which have a positive effect on the parameters obtained products. Nanoemulsions as delivery carriers becoming more popular there is real need to increase possibilities formulation designing engineering. Therefore, preparations oil-in-water nanoemulsion with encapsulated cannabidiol (CBD) oi...

Trichinellosis, a re-emerging zoonosis in several countries and pig, is the main species responsible for its transmission to human. Vaccination of swine could be an alternative to prevent the risk of human contamination. In order to develop an efficient and safe inactivate vaccine, the choice of the adjuvant is an important issue. The aim of this study was to develop and select potent and safe ...

Oil and natural gas production is often accompanied by large amounts of wastewater [1]. The volumetric ratio of water-to-oil will increase over the lifetime of an operation and can eventually exceed 90%. Water is also associated with some, but not all, gas production. For instance, dry sources of gas are found in Alberta, Canada. Produced water is often reinjected into the well to increase oil ...
