The modified aloe polysaccharide (MAP) juice developed under optimized condition was investigated to assess the effect of foaming process parameters and its optimization followed by evaluating best drying conditions for developing MAP powder from foamed non-foamed juice. selected optimizing were soy protein isolate (SPI%), carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC%), whipping time (WT) with variation in exp...

Foamed concrete is mostly used for backfilling of long-distance tunnels and compressive strength an important technical index to control the quality foamed concrete. The influence factors on low-density were obtained by single factor test method based targeted dry density strength. results show that HT composed pollution-free animal protein oil vegetable efficient foaming agent can produce stab...

Effective cometabolic biodegradation of trichloroethylene (TCE) vapors in a novel gas-phase bioreactor called the foamed emulsion bioreactor (FEBR) was demonstrated. Toluene vapors were used as the primary growth substrate for Burkholderia cepacia G4 which cometabolically biodegraded TCE. Batch operation of the reactor with respect to the liquid feed showed a drastic decrease of TCE and toluene...

To facilitate the design and development of porous metals, simulation of their mechanical behavior is essential. As an alternative to complex tomography procedures, a methodology has been developed to construct a simulated microstructure that retains the essential features of the experimental material. The target material is a moderate porosity titanium foam that is being developed as a bone im...

Continuous operation of a new bioreactor for air pollution control called the foamed emulsion bioreactor (FEBR) has been investigated. The effect of several liquid feeding strategies was explored. The FEBR exhibited high and steady toluene removal performance (removal efficiency of 89%-94%, elimination capacity of 214-226 g/m3h at toluene inlet concentration of 1 g/m3) for up to 360 h, when 20%...

Cereal Chem. 76(5):682–687 The effects of starch type on the properties of baked starch foams were investigated. Starch types used for baking were normal corn, normal potato, waxy corn, high-amylopectin potato, wheat, and tapioca. Solids content of the starch batters used to bake foam trays ranged from 25 to 45%. Processing parameters and physical properties of the foams were examined. Starch-f...
