Obtaining jute fabrics with enhanced sorption properties and “closing the loop” of their lifecycle
(Elsevier, 2021)
The objective of this investigation was to obtain jute fabrics with enhanced sorption properties (by using simple and cost-effective alkali and oxidative modifications) and a long life cycle. The applied alkali modifications ...
Chemical Composition, Antioxidant Potential, and Nutritional Evaluation of Cultivated Sorghum Grains: A Combined Experimental, Theoretical, and Multivariate Analysis
(MDPI, 2023)
Sorghum grain (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) is a gluten-free cereal with excellent nutritional value and is a good source of antioxidants, including polyphenols, as well as minerals with proven health benefits. Herein, the ...
Exploring and strengthening the potential of R-phycocyanin from Nori flakes as a food colourant
(Elsevier Ltd., 2023)
This study aimed to purify, characterise and stabilise the natural food colourant, R-phycocyanin (R-PC), from the red algae Porphyra spp. (Nori). We purified R-PC from dried Nori flakes with a high purity ratio (A618/A280 ...
Stabilization of apo α-lactalbumin by binding of epigallocatechin-3-gallate: Experimental and molecular dynamics study
(Elsevier, 2019)
α-Lactalbumin (ALA) is a Ca2+-binding protein which constitutes up to 20% of whey protein. At acidic pH, and in the apo-state at elevated temperatures, ALA is the classic 'molten globule' (MG). This study examined ...
Characterization of the starch surface binding site on Bacillus paralicheniformis α-amylase
(Elsevier, 2020)
α-Amylase from Bacillus paralicheniformis (BliAmy), belonging to GH13_5 subfamily of glycoside hydrolases, was proven to be a highly efficient raw starch digesting enzyme. The ability of some α-amylases to hydrolyze raw ...
Green pH- and magnetic-responsive hybrid hydrogels based on poly(methacrylic acid) and Eucalyptus wood nanocellulose for controlled release of ibuprofen
(Springer, 2021)
pH- and magnetic-sensitive hybrid hydrogels based on poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA), nanocellulose (NC), carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and magnetite particles (MN) were prepared as ibuprofen delivery system. NC was isolated ...
Effect of Fe3+ ion doping on photocatalytic ability of nanozirconia ceramic to degrade 2, 4, 6- trichlorophenol
(Elsevier, 2020)
Pure and a series of Fe3+ doped zirconia nanopowders were synthesized combining colloidal chemistry and solvothermal method from organometallic precursors in order to correlate doping and properties of zirconia matrix. ...
Cyclization Reactions of Oxyallyl Cation. A Method for Cyclopentane Ring Formation
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2019)
Unsaturated oxyallyl cations with a suitably positioned alkene bond undergo 5-exo-cyclization with the formation of vinylcyclopentane derivatives. Alkyne analogues provide allenes. The reaction proceeds with a moderate to ...
Co(II) impregnated Al(III)-pillared montmorillonite–Synthesis, characterization and catalytic properties in Oxone® activation for dye degradation
(Elsevier, 2019)
Aluminum pillared clay was synthesized and impregnated with Co2+ (CoAP), using incipient wetness impregnation method. The obtained CoAP was characterized by chemical analysis, XRPD, SEM with EDS, XPS and low temperature ...
Toxicity investigation of CeO2 nanoparticles coated with glucose and exopolysaccharides levan and pullulan on the bacterium Vibrio fischeri and aquatic organisms Daphnia magna and Danio rerio
(Elsevier, 2021)
Cerium oxide nanoparticles (nCeO2) have widespread applications, but they can be hazardous to the environment. Some reports indicate the toxic effect of nCeO2 on tested animals, but literature data are mainly contradictory. ...
