introduction thermal processing has a huge impact on the textural attribute of the final food product and texture is a major factor contributing the overall quality of food. ohmic heating is an advanced thermal processing method in which heat is internally generated within foods by passing an alternating electric current through them. ohmic heating can volumetrically heat the entire mass of a f...

The electrochemical behavior of a modified electrode obtained by immobilization of single-walled carbon nanotubes onto a graphite electrode modified with a new phenothiazine derivative, bis-phenothiazin-3-yl methane (BPhM), G/BPhM-CNT, has been evaluated and compared with BPhM adsorbed on graphite electrode (G/BPhM). The G/BPhM-CNT electrode presents improved performances for NADH electrocataly...

The electrochemical behaviour of tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) and its isolated protein was studied using differential pulse (DP) voltammetry at a graphite electrode and by direct current (DC) polarography in Brdicka solution. TMV and its isolated protein were found to be electrooxidized at the graphite electrode in the adsorbed state. Both species yielded two oxidation peaks on DP voltammograms. ...

Dielectric: materials commonly used as insulators in spark gaps (Lexan, Nylon, Lucite, Macor, Boron Nitride, Delrin and G-10) have been exposed to the by-products of arcs in three different spark gap experiments. The first was a 60 kV, 0.05 Caul/shot spark gap using copper-tungsten or graphite electrodes at various pressures of N2 or SF6 gas. The second was a 5-30 kV, 4-25 kA, .l-.6 Coul/shot, ...

The nature and composition of the surface of pyrolytic graphite and the consequent possible effects, when the material is used as an electrode. are considered on the basis of the structure of the graphite and of the handling and/or treatment to which the electrodes may have been exposed. Because of the relatively limited studies on pyrolytic graphite, certain aspects of the behavior of other ty...

in this work, sol-gel method was used tosynthesize titanium dioxide nanoparticles (tio2). the tio2nanoparticles was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (sem), x-ray diffraction (xrd) and bet technique.the tio2 and coumarin derivative (7-(1,3-dithiolan-2-yl)-9, 10-dihydroxy-6h-benzofuro [3,2-c] chromen-6-on) were incorporated in a graphite composite electrode. the resulting modified el...

A graphite powder disk sandwiched between two nickel screens was used as a lithium-insertion working electrode. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), galvanostatic intermittent titration (GIT) using pulsed microcurrent, and in-situ intrinsic resistance measurements were used for the evaluation of kinetics and intrinsic (i.e. physical) resistance changes during charge–discharge cycling f...

We demonstrate the application of a low-temperature carbon counter electrode with good flexibility and high conductivity in fabricating perovskite solar cells. A modified two-step method was used for the deposition of nanocrystalline CH3NH3PbI3 under high relative humidity. The carbon counter electrode was printed on a perovskite layer directly, with different sizes of graphite powder being emp...

In experiments performed using graphite electrodes poised by a potentiostat (+200 mV versus Ag/AgCl) or in a microbial fuel cell (with oxygen as the electron acceptor), the Fe(III)-reducing organism Geothrix fermentans conserved energy to support growth by coupling the complete oxidation of acetate to reduction of a graphite electrode. Other organic compounds, such as lactate, malate, propionat...

The direct electrochemical oxidation of sodium sulfide has been examined at five different carbon-based electrode substrates (glassy carbon (GC), boron-doped diamond (BDD), edge-plane pyrollytic graphite (EPPG), basal-plane pyrollytic graphite (BPPG) and carbon nanotubes (CNT)). An electrocatalytic response is observed at both the EPPG and CNT electrode compared to that of the other three subst...
