Mangoes are usually wasted by consumers due to a physiological disorder known as Internal breakdown (IB). In this study, Palmer mangoes affected IB were valorized turning into edible films continuous solution casting. The produced using mango pulps with different levels, being 0 (no IB), 2 (1/3–2/3 of IB-affected pulp) and 3 (more than 2/3 pulp), pectin matrix former. influence level on the phy...

In this study, it was found that the addition of wood had a reducing effect on water absorption (WA) and thickness swelling (TS) properties in gypsum-based boards. The lowest WA value 41.56% sample prepared with cedrus’s bark/needle mixture (KaI3; 3:2 by weight). It has also been realized experimental boards made only bark-gypsum (SKa6), cone-gypsum (SKo6) needle-gypsum (SI6) proportions show T...

Despite its potential, corporate entrepreneurship, and related concept, intrapreneurial behavior (IB), is a relatively recent area of interest for researchers in tourism hospitality. In addition, the attention given to contribution IB individual-level performance surprisingly scarce due extant research focusing largely on firm-level performance. We address those gaps using sample 95 hospitality...

OBJECTIVES Some antioxidants are believed to restore dentin bond strength after dental bleaching. This study was done to evaluate the influence of antioxidants on the bond strength of bleached bovine dentin. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty incisors were randomly assigned to 10 groups (two unbleached control and eight bleached groups: immediate bonding IB, 4 wk delayed bonding DB, 10% sodium asco...

This study examined chemical composition of tomato stalks and their possible feasibility in the production of particleboard. Three-layer experimental particleboards with density of 0.53, 0.63, and 0.73 g cm(-3) were manufactured from tomato stalks using certain ratios of urea formaldehyde (UF) and melamine urea formaldehyde (MUF) adhesives. Modulus of elasticity (MOE), modulus of rupture (MOR),...

The effective utilization of the inner part oil palm trunk (OPT), generally considered a waste product, is desired. In this study, particleboards were manufactured using OPT with bio-based adhesive made sucrose and ammonium dihydrogen phosphate (ADP). mixture ratio to ADP resin content changed investigate optimum condition adhesive. pressing was set at 180 °C for 10 min, target density 0.8 g/cm...

gypsum-bonded particleboard panels were made from various mixture of bagasse (saccharum ossicinarum l.) and wheat (oryza sativa l.) straw particles bonded with different ratio level of particles/gypsum. this study examined possible feasibility of bagasse and wheat straw particles in the production of gypsum-bonded particleboard (gbpb). one-layer experimental gbpb with density of 1.05 and 1.20 g...

the aim of this study was to explore the minimum amount of urea formaldehyde (uf) resin content and optimum particleboard density while maintaining boards’ quality to reduce production costs. board density at three levels (520, 620 and 720 kg m-3) and resin content (6, 7 and 8%) were variable parameters. stepwise multivariate linear regression models were used to evaluate the influence of board...

Kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus), a fast-growing fiber crop, is a potential substitute for wood to make composition boards. This work investigated singleand three-layer kenaf core particleboards (KPBs) and kenaf core-cedar wood composite particleboard (KCPB) with polymeric methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (pMDI) and phenol formaldehyde (PF) resins. The physical and mechanical properties including ben...
