whey contains more than half of total solids present in the original milk, which includes 20% of the proteins, most of the lactose, minerals and water soluble vitamins. in this study, selective separation of whey components by aphron flotation (separation of ultrafine particles by micro-bubbles) has been investigated. it has been shown that it is possible to recover valuable components of whey ...

Colloidal gas aphron dispersions (CGAs) can be described as a system of microbubbles suspended homogenously in a liquid matrix. This work examines the performance of CGAs in comparison to surfactant solutions for washing low levels of arsenic from an iron rich soil. Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate (SDS) and saponin, a biodegradable surfactant, obtained from Sapindus mukorossi or soapnut fruit were used ...

32 33 Chromogranin A (CgA) is widely expressed in endocrine and neuroendocrine tissues as well as in the central 34 nervous system. We observed CgA expression (mRNA and protein) in the gastrocnemius (GAS) muscle and 35 found that performance of CgA-deficient Chga-KO mice in treadmill exercise was impaired. Supplementation 36 with CgA in Chga-KO mice restored exercise ability suggesting a novel ...

The structure of a ferrofluid under the influence of an external magnetic field is expected to become anisotropic due to the alignment of the dipoles into the direction of the external field, and subsequently to the formation of particle chains due to the attractive head to tail orientations of the ferrofluid particles. Knowledge about the structure of a colloidal ferrofluid can be inferred fro...

We consider a model dense colloidal dispersion at the glass transition, and investigate the connection between equilibrium stress fluctuations, seen in linear shear moduli, and the shear stresses under strong flow conditions far from equilibrium, viz., flow curves for finite shear rates. To this purpose, thermosensitive core-shell particles consisting of a polystyrene core and a cross-linked po...

Shear moduli variation in the metastable-stable structure transition of charged colloidal crystals was investigated by the combination techniques of torsional resonance spectroscopy and reflection spectrometer. Modulus of the system increases with the proceeding of the transition process and it finally reaches the maximum value at the end of the transition. For colloidal crystals in stable stat...

The interplay between phase separation and kinetic arrest is important in supramolecular self-assembly, but their effects on emergent orientational order are not well understood when anisotropic building blocks are used. Contrary to the typical progression from disorder to order in isotropic systems, here we report that colloidal oblate discoids initially self-assemble into short, metastable st...
