This paper presents a method to estimate the biomass of Spirulina cultivated on solid medium with sugarcane bagasse as a support, in view of the difficulty in determining biomass concentrations in bioprocesses, particularly those conducted in semi-solid or solid media. The genus Spirulina of the family Oscillatoriaceae comprises the group of multicellular filamentous cyanobacteria (blue-green m...

solid solutions of ag-cu were prepared via ball milling process, for about 5-30 h. the cu-20at%ag and cu-3.64at%ag composition were investigated by x-ray diffraction technique. it was realized that the solid solubility level could be increased by increasing the initial solute content in the mixture. in addition, shifts in peak positions of silver and copper were observed with milling time. the ...

The present study was carried out to investigate the effects of solution concentration, immersion time and temperature on the osmotic dehydration (OD) of summer onion. OD was done using sucrose, salt and combined (sucrose-salt) solution. In this study three sucrose (40,50 and 60%), five salt (5,10,15,20 and 25%) and five sucrosesalt (combine) solution (40:15, 45:15, 45:20 50:15 and 55:15 %) wer...

Background and Objectives: Canola oil is very low in saturated fatty acid (~8 %), which makes it suitable for application as dressing for salad. Canola oil is liquid, thus its application in the production of margarine and shortening is limited. The present study provides information about the effects of monoacylglycerols (MAG) as the structuring agent on physical, microstructure and rheologica...

Quality characteristics of Korean commercial apple wine, Moru wine, red wine, white wine, and raspberry wine were compared in this study. The aim of this study is to improve the quality of fruit wines, based on physicochemical characteristics, fermentation quality, correlation between soluble solid and sugar content, and a relationship between electrical conductivity and other analyzed paramete...

the present experiment aimed at increasing orange peel and sugar beet pulp protein content through solid-state fermentation by trichoderma reesei and trichoderma viride. in vitro digestibility and changes in the chemical composition of the fermented products were determined after seven days of fungal cultivation using gas production tests. the cultivation of t. reesei and t. viride on orange pe...
