Different yew species contain poisonous taxane alkaloids which serve as resources for semi-synthesis of anticancer drugs. The highly variable amounts of taxanes demand new methods for fast characterization of the raw plant material and the isolation of the target structures during phyto extraction. For that purpose, applicability of different vibrational spectroscopy methods in goods receipt of...

Biomass is a primary source of renewable carbon that can be utilized as a feedstock for biofuels or biochemicals production in order to achieve energy independence of energy importing countries. The low bulk density, high moisture content, degradation during the storage, and low energy density of raw lignocellulosic biomass are all significant challenges in supplying agricultural residues as a ...

The effect of processing on the biochemical contents of Acanthus montanus leaves was investigated. The moisture, crude protein, lipid, fiber, ash, and total carbohydrate contents of the raw vegetable were 59.15, 1.85, 2.32, 3.76, 2.04, and 34.65 g/100 g, respectively. The saponin, alkaloid, tannin, flavonoid, phenol, and anthocyanin contents of the raw vegetable were 5.35, 4.04, 1.10, 3.53, 2.8...

Abstract Seablite ( Suaeda Maritima ) can be used as raw material for functional salt. This study aims to determine the effect of blanching time on nutritional composition seablite: moisture, ash, protein, fat, carbohydrate, salinity, and vitamin A. The research design a wholly randomized non-factorial with variations in (0, 3, 6, 9 minutes). Making saeblite flour begins cleaning Seablite, acco...

The stickies content, both macrostickies and stickies extractable in a solvent, was determined for samples taken at short time intervals from deinking lines, producing deinked pulp for newsprint production. The study was carried out at three mills on different continents, with each having a different source of recycled paper as raw material. The short-term variations in extractable stickies in ...

Negative impacts on the environment, bird well-being, and farm worker health indicate the need for abatement strategies for poultry litter NH(3) generation. Type of bedding affects many parameters related to poultry production including NH(3) losses. In a randomized complete block design, 3 trials compared the cumulative NH(3) volatilization for laboratory-prepared litter (4 bedding types mixed...

The effects of moisture content on the survival and regrowth of seeded and indigenous enteric bacteria in raw sludge were determined. Cultures of six strains of fecally associated bacteria grown in sterilized, liquid sludge (5% solids) were all quite stable at this moisture level for over 90 days at 21 degrees C. When the moisture content of the sludge containing these organisms was reduced by ...

Fiber-reinforced composite laminates are often used in severe environments such as high temperature and humidity conditions. Therefore, it is of practical interest to establish a simple but robust method to determine material properties that define the hygrothermal behavior of composites under various conditions. In this article a novel inverse analysis approach is presented to identify the dif...

introduction:pistachio (pistaciavera l.) is a tasty nuts and a good source of nutrients. during the last decade, the worldwide trades of pistachio have increasing trend, likely reflecting on the increase in consumers demand for this nuts. the high oil and essential fatty acid contents of the pistachio kernel is important from a nutritional point of view. however, high unsaturated fatty acids co...
