The use of by-product in animal nutrition is necessary since it may increase the availability of feed for animal and avoid accumulation that contributes to environmental problems. Sunflower meal is a source of supplemental protein for livestock feeding. The amount of hull or fibre in sunflower meal is the major source of variation in nutrient content of this feed. Methionin concentration in sunflower meal is high compared with other protein sources such as cottonseed meal. Sunflower meal without hulls has high degradability than sunflower meal with hull. This study was conducted to evaluate the chemical composition and in situ dry matter (DM)and crude protein (CP) degradability of three different sources of sunflower meal (high, medium and low fat).

AbstractAnthocyanins from different sources have been reported for its potential as thermal process indicator. This research aimed in particular to study the color degradation kinetics of anthoyanin from Roselle and in general to provide alternative natural indicator for thermal process. Roselle’s anthocyanin extract was incorporated into 3 biodegradable films (i.e agar, pectin, PVA). Thermal degradation kinetics of anthocyanin’s color (ΔE and Chroma) in biodegradable film was studied at selected temperatures (80oC, 90oC, and 100oC). The color change was observed at minute 0, 30, 60 and 120 by computer vision method. The results showed that anthocyanin incorporated into PVA film had the highest value of activation energy (Ea), while anthocyanin incorporated into pectin film had the smallest value of Ea. Lower value of Ea indicating that the anthocyanin chroma is easily degraded at low temperature. Higher value of Ea indicating that it needshigher energy or higher temperature to degrade the color. The results of this study showed that anthocyanin in PVA film can be selected as indicator for high temperature thermal process (e.g. sterilization), while anthocyanin in pectin film can be used in lower temperature thermal process (e.g. pasteurization). AbstrakPotensi antosianin dari berbagai sumber sebagai indikator proses termal alami telah banyak dilaporkan. Penelitian ini bertujuan mempelajari kinetika degradasi warna film-antosianin serta menentukan kombinasibiodegradable film-antosianin terbaik sebagai alternatif indikator proses termal. Pengamatan kinetik ini dilakukan pada suhu 80oC, 90oC, dan 100oC dan parameter degradasi warna yang diukur adalah ΔE danChroma. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa antosianin pada film PVA mempunyai nilai energi aktivasi (Ea) paling besar, sedangkan antosianin pada film pektin mempunyai nilai Ea paling kecil. Nilai Ea degradasiwarna antosianin yang kecil pada film pektin menunjukkan bahwa degradasi warna sudah dapat berjalan pada suhu yang rendah. Sedangkan nilai Ea degradasi warna antosianin yang lebih besar pada film PVA menunjukkan bahwa antosianin pada film tersebut merupakan yang paling sensitif terhadap perubahan suhu dan paling signifikan perubahan warnanya. Namun perubahan warna yang signifikan pada antosianinpada film PVA membutuhkan suhu yang lebih tinggi sehingga lebih tepat untuk digunakan sebagai indikator pada proses termal dengan suhu yang tinggi (misalnya sterilisasi), sedangkan antosianin pada film pektin dapat digunakan pada proses termal dengan suhu yang lebih rendah (misalnya pasteurisasi).

The incorporation of nanofillers such as graphene into polymers has shown significant improvements in mechanical characteristics, thermal stability, and conductivity of resulting polymeric nanocomposites. To this aim, the influence of incorporation of graphene nanosheets into ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) on the thermal behavior and degradation kinetics of UHMWPE/graphene nanocomposites was investigated. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis revealed that graphene nanosheets were uniformly spread throughout the UHMWPE’s molecular chains. X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) data posited that the morphology of dispersed graphene sheets in UHMWPE was exfoliated. Non-isothermal differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) studies identified a more pronounced increase in melting temperatures and latent heat of fusions in nanocomposites compared to UHMWPE at lower concentrations of graphene. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and derivative thermogravimetric (DTG) revealed that UHMWPE’s thermal stability has been improved via incorporating graphene nanosheets. Further, degradation kinetics of neat polymer and nanocomposites have been modeled using equations such as Friedman, Ozawa–Flynn–Wall (OFW), Kissinger, and Augis and Bennett’s. The "Model-Fitting Method” showed that the auto-catalytic nth-order mechanism provided a highly consistent and appropriate fit to describe the degradation mechanism of UHMWPE and its graphene nanocomposites. In addition, the calculated activation energy (Ea) of thermal degradation was enhanced by an increase in graphene concentration up to 2.1 wt.%, followed by a decrease in higher graphene content.

The effect of several concentrations of carboxylated nitrile butadiene rubber (XNBR) functionalized halloysite nanotubes (XHNTs) on the vulcanization and degradation kinetics of XNBR/epoxy compounds were evaluated using experimental and theoretical methods. The isothermal vulcanization kinetics were studied at various temperatures by rheometry and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The results obtained indicated that the nth order model could not accurately predict the curing performance. However, the autocatalytic approach can be used to estimate the vulcanization reaction mechanism of XNBR/epoxy/XHNTs nanocomposites. The kinetic parameters related to the degradation of XNBR/epoxy/XHNTs nanocomposites were also assessed using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). TGA measurements suggested that the grafted nanotubes strongly enhanced the thermal stability of the nanocomposite.
