Studies on the formation of humin in protein hydrolysates have demonstrated that heating causes a reaction between carbohydrates and certain amino acids (l-3). This reaction, often referred to as the Maillard reaction, has significance in connection with the development of brown color during the processing of foods. Further, this reaction appears to have nutritional importance, since recently i...

Nanoparticles of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDC) have been known to reduce friction and wear when added to oil-type liquid lubricants. Aggregation limits the ability of the nanoparticles to penetrate into the interface between the two rubbing surfaces—an important factor in friction reduction mechanisms. Doping has been successfully used to reduce agglomeration, but it must be done in t...

Abstract Soil organic matter has great importance in chemical, physical and biological processes soil-plant system. This study aimed to evaluate changes carbon humic fractions of soil under different vegetation coverings Cerrado Tocantins, Brazil. The work was developed Eucalyptus sp., Pasture, Agriculture sensu stricto areas. samples were collected dry period, October, 2018, trenches 70 x cm a...

Abstract A batch reaction system (volume 1 L) for scaled-up production of 5-HMF-based adhesive precursor solutions from industrially available fructose syrup was developed. The stabilizing effect sodium dithionite addition demonstrated. With this system, no concentration steps are needed in the precursors wood composite board production. optimized a design experiment approach to achieve good co...
