A study of 13 grapevine cultivars was carried out in a vineyard located near Krakow (Poland) in order to identify the most suitable grapevine cultivars for cool climate regions. The vines’ vigour, yield and the yield efficiency index were studied in the years 2010-2013. The grapes were analysed to determine soluble solids content (SSC), titratable acidity, total polyphenol content (TPC) as well...

Tartaric acid modified wheat bran was utilized as adsorbent to remove methyl blue, a basic dye from aqueous solution. Batch experiments were carried out to study the effect of various experimental parameters such as initial solution pH, contact time, initial dye concentration and adsorbent dosage, on dye adsorption. The results showed that the modification of wheat bran by tartaric acid signifi...

Two chiral structural isomers have been synthesized by molecular engineering of L-tartaric acid. In the presence of LiOH isomer forms a thermally stable, fluorescent gel which exhibits interesting nano-cluster morphology, anomalous optical and rheological properties whilst forms a non-fluorescent solution under similar conditions. The current-voltage (I-V) curve followed a non-linear trend, rat...
