in modern endodontics, vital pulp therapy (vpt) has been considered an ultra-conservative treatment modality. based on the level of pulp preservation, vpt includes stepwise excavation, indirect pulp capping (idpc), direct pulp capping (dpc), miniature pulpotomy (mp), partial/cvek pulpotomy and coronal/complete pulpotomy (cp). the present article reviews the treatment outcomes of 94 permanent te...

A thermoalkalophilic and cellulase-free xylanase produced from Arthrobacter sp. MTCC 5214 by solid-state fermentation using wheat bran as a carbon source was evaluated for prebleaching of kraft pulp. The UV absorption spectrum of the compounds released by enzyme treatment showed a characteristic peak at 280 nm, indicating the presence of lignin in the released colouring matter. Enzymatic preble...

A series of TMP experiments were performed at CIPP’s TMP pilot plant, and some pulp properties were measured. By comparing chip and pulp properties, and using projections to latent structures (PLS) analysis, we were able to demonstrate that on-line CMS measurements can be used to predict some pulp properties. It should be pointed out that the focus of this paper is to show how CMS measurements ...

Carob flour is increasingly popular in innovative functional foods. Its main producers are Mediterranean countries, facing health and nutrition challenges, difficulties tackling climate change. This study aims at formulating sustainable bakery products of high nutritional value while pleasing the consumer addressing regional challenges. Hence, carob was obtained by grinding sun-dried pods, thus...

This study investigated the optimal yeast strains for producing single cell protein based on waste sugar beet pulp (SBP) under various biomass loads. All tested were capable of growing biomass. Candida utilis and Saccharomyces cerevisiae Ethanol Red produced greatest increase in fresh SBP (ΔN 1.84%). Scheffersomyces stipitis 2.27%) provided highest dried SBP. showed significant assimilation nit...
