Extractability, extractable protein compositions, technological-functional properties of pea (Pisum sativum) proteins from six genotypes grown in Serbia were investigated. Also, the relationship between these characteristics was presented. Investigated genotypes showed significant differences in storage protein content, composition and extractability. The ratio of vicilin:legumin concentrations...

An instrument was designed and assembled with the aim of measuring macroscopic properties of foams ~such as foamability and stability! under high pressures and moderate temperatures ~up to 105 bar and 425 K, respectively!. The device makes use of infrared sensors to detect the foam forefront position as it is generated by gas sparging in the foaming solution. The measurement makes use of a modi...

The association of many classes of surface active molecules into micellar aggregates is a well-known phenomenon. Micelles are often drawn as static structures of spherical aggregates of oriented molecules. However, micelles are in dynamic equilibrium with surfactant monomers in the bulk solution constantly being exchanged with the surfactant molecules in the micelles. Additionally, the micelles...

Filamentous bacteria are a normal and necessary component of the activated sludge wastewater treatment process, but the overgrowth of filamentous bacteria results in foaming and bulking associated disruptions. Bacteriophages, or phages, were investigated for their potential to reduce the titer of foaming bacteria in a mixed-microbial activated sludge matrix. Foaming-associated filamentous bacte...

To facilitate the design and development of porous metals, simulation of their mechanical behavior is essential. As an alternative to complex tomography procedures, a methodology has been developed to construct a simulated microstructure that retains the essential features of the experimental material. The target material is a moderate porosity titanium foam that is being developed as a bone im...

In order to improve the fire extinguishing performance of foam agents in nonpolar liquid fires, application alkyl amidopropyl betaine with different chain lengths aqueous film-forming was studied. The relationship between structure alkylamidopropyl and surface tension, foaming property stability analyzed. On this basis, agent formulations were formed, then each formulation tested. results show ...

BACKGROUND AND THE PURPOSE OF THE STUDY Many drugs which have narrow therapeutic window and are absorbed mainly in stomach have been developed as gastroretentive delivery system. Rosiglitazone maleate, an anti-diabetic, is highly unstable at basic pH and is extensively absorbed from the stomach. Hence there is a need to develop a gastroretentive system. In this study a superporous hydrogel was ...

introduction: freezing is one of the ways to extend the shelf life and improve the chemical and microbiological stability of food products. food products are exposed to different processes and the functional properties of the products change during these processing. hydrocolloids are used to stabilize the products undergoing different food processing. however the addition of hydrocolloids to fo...
