Soymilk is lower in calories compared to cow's milk, since it is derived from a plant source (no cholesterol) and is an excellent source of protein. Despite the beneficial factors, soymilk is considered as one of the most controversial foods in the world. It contains serine protease inhibitors which lower its nutritional value and digestibility. Processing techniques for the elimination of tryp...

A new simple procedure for microwave-assisted organic synthesis under continuous flow processing has been developed for use in a monomodal microwave synthesizer with direct temperature control using the instrument's in-built IR sensor. This design makes optimum use of the standing wave cavity to improve the energy efficiency of microwave-assisted flow reactions.

Superconducting circuits provide an attractive architecture for quantum optics experiments in solid state systems. Microwave radiation interacts strongly with individual (macroscopic) quantum systems, and enables to realize emitters of single photons. The statistical property of emitting exactly a single photon as information carrier makes these emitters relevant for quantum communication and i...

The microwave absorbing characteristics of magnetic separation products (magnetic and non-magnetic) of reductive products of ilmenite concentrate were measured by the method of microwave cavity perturbation and the magnetic separation products were characterized by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). It was demonstrated that metallic iron was a strong microwave absorbing material, while TiO2 was a weak mi...

The cyclodehydration of a number of Bohlmann-Rahtz aminodienones exemplifies the use of continuous flow processing to transfer operations from commercial microreactors and microwave batch reactors to mesoscale production using different technology platforms, including a microwave flow reactor.

In this study, solvent-free and phase transfer catalysis conditions coupled with microwave irradiation and their advantages in synthesis of N-alkylation of primary anilines were reported. In this way two different microwave processing techniques were compared in terms of reaction yields. Consequently, microwave irradiation significantly reduced reaction times compared to traditional heating met...

This paper is a review of the studies performed on microwave effects on resting electroencephalography (EEG) and visual memory and information processing during the last ten years. Some earlier results, obtained at the Biomedical Engineering Centre of the Tallinn University of Technology are reevaluated and generalized. Microwave radiation of 450 MHz, modulated at 7, 14, 21, 40, 70, 217 and 100...

Pumpable purees from purple-flesh sweetpotatoes (PFSP) were subjected to microwave heating using a 60 kW, 915 MHz continuous flow system, followed by aseptic packaging in flexible containers to obtain a shelf-stable product. Initial test runs were conducted using a 5 kW 915 MHz microwave system to measure dielectric in-line properties and examine the puree temperature profiles. The results demo...
