Oligo(L-lactic acid) (OLLA) was synthesized by ring opening polymerization of L-lactides using stannous octoate (0.03 wt% lactide). While this served as the initiator, L-lactic acids were co-initiators at 140 °C for 10 h, wherein prepared hydrolytic degradation 100 1 h. The molecular weight or degree controlled with monomer/co-initiator ratio (mol/mol). α-cellulose and microcrystalline cellulos...

Summary Production of Thai fish paste Ka‐pi‐plaa fermented using beardless barb, Cyclocheilichthys apogon was monitored. The physicochemical, microbiological and antioxidant properties were compared after each process, that is autolysis, salting, sun‐drying fermentation. Colour parameters L* decreased while a* b* increased during production ( P < 0.05). finished product presented an intense ...

The biodegradability of dispersants (naphthalenesulfonate formaldehyde condensates), used with disperse dyes, has been evaluated using different techniques such as chemical oxygen demand (COD), UV-spectroscopic analysis and tonometry. A biomass was used from industrial waste water which was acclimated for six months prior to use. The study has shown that biodegradation involves two steps: first...

A one pot domino protocol for an efficient synthesis of 7-arylbenzo[c]acridine-5,6-diones, with a novel nucleus, has been developed by reacting 2-hydroxynaphthalene-1,4-dione, aromatic aldehydes and aromatic amines using environmentally benevolent p-toluene sulphonic acid as a catalyst. An exciting feature of this communication is the reaction mechanism that depends on the reaction solvent.

Dragon fruit is a popular tropical that has high phenolic content which are the main contributors to antioxidant potential and health benefits of dragon pulp peel waste. Although some compounds in have previously been reported, comprehensive analysis complete profile Australian varieties not conducted. Thus, aim this study was extract, identify quantify phenolics from fruits grown Australia. Ph...
