Bromelain is a proteolytic enzyme, which is predominately found in all parts of a pineapple plant (Ananas comosus). It has immense application in the pharmaceutical industry as well as in food, cosmetic, and leather industries. However, bromelain from pineapple fruit peels is a less explored source for making valuable products. Therefore, the objective of this study was to characterize and investigate the potential application of bromelain enzyme extracted from pineapple juice processing waste peels in gelatin hydrolysis and removal of silver from X-ray films. Extraction of bromelain was performed with a 1 : 2 ratio (w/v) of the extraction mix, pineapple fruit peel, in phosphate buffer (pH = 7.0). The activity of a crude enzyme was 7.2 U/ml, and it was active in a broad range of pH (2.5–12) and temperature (25–85°C) without losing its activity. This implies that the enzyme is heat tolerant. The optimum temperature and pH of the enzyme were recorded at 70°C and pH 7.0, respectively. At optimum conditions (70°C and pH 7.0), complete hydrolysis of the gelatin layer from X-ray film was observed at 30 and 34 seconds, respectively. The enzyme was repeatedly used more than 50 times without significant loss of its activity. Using a minimum concentration of bromelain (3 ml = 21.6 U) along with phosphate buffer (37 ml), it is possible completely to remove gelatin within 210 seconds. The properties of the enzyme showed that it has promising potential industrial applications for repeated utilization of the enzyme in both silver recovery and recycling of the X-ray film base.

Dragon fruit peels (Hylocereus polyrhizus) are generally only considered trash by the public because they are considered useless, even though dragon fruit peels still contain useful nutrients. Dragon fruit skin can be used as food, one of which is a jam. The addition of pineapple fruit variations to dragon fruit peel jam as a flavor enhancer and natural fragrance to reduce the use of sugar in jam and the aroma of pineapple fruit can mask the distinctive aroma of dragon fruit which is less desirable. The purpose of this study was to determine the appropriate concentration variations in the manufacture of dragon fruit peel jam with the addition of pineapple, which consumers liked. This study used a completely randomized design with six (6) treatments and two (2) replications. Dragon fruit peel jams analyzed by chemical tests included moisture content, sugar level, and pH, while organoleptic test included color, texture, taste, aroma, and a total of 30 untrained panelists. Observation data were processed using ANOVA (α = 5%) and further tested using the honest significant difference test (BNJ) (α = 5%). The results showed that the pineapple’s addition to dragon fruit peel jam had a very significant effect on the panelists' preference for aroma and taste, but not significantly different from the color, texture, and chemical characteristics of jam. The N6 treatment (dragon fruit peel 250 g: pineapple fruit 250 g) was the best jam, based on chemical characteristics (pH content of 3.52, moisture content of 18.65%, sugar level of 53.30%) and preferable in organoleptic characteristics (2.97 of color, 2.97 of texture, 2.97 of flavor, 3.00 of taste).

Crystallographic studies of rabbit Fc using X-ray diffraction patterns were recently reported. The unit cell constants were reported to be a = 69. 2 A°, b = 73. 1 A°, c = 60. 6 A°, B = 104° 30', space group P21, monoclinic, volume of asymmetric unit V = 148, 000 A°3. The molecular weight of the fragment was determined to be 55, 000 ± 2000 which is in agreement with earlier determinations by other methods.Fc crystals were formed in water or dilute phosphate buffer at neutral pH. The resulting crystal was a flat plate as previously described. Preparations of small crystals were negatively stained by mixing the suspension with equal volumes of 2% silicotungstate at neutral pH. A drop of the mixture was placed on a carbon coated grid and allowed to stand for a few minutes. The excess liquid was removed and the grid was immediately put in the microscope.

Abstract In this paper, we carried out PIND (Particle Impact Noise Detection) test and X-ray inspection of a transistor in a TO-18 package for commercial and industrial applications. From our evaluation results, we explain the validity of the PIND test by comparing PIND test and X-ray inspection results. We make clear that PIND test is able to detect internal foreign material that may be transparent to X-ray inspection. In addition, we report analysis results of internal foreign materials from defective devices. This matter suggests that a problem is contamination control in the manufacturing process, most likely the sealing process.

AbstractIn the past few decades, there have been remarkable advances in our knowledge of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and synthesizing methods. AuNPs have become increasingly important in biomedical and industrial applications. As a newly implemented method, AuNPs are being used in nanopackaging industries for their therapeutic and antibacterial characteristics as well as their inert and nontoxic nature. As with other NPs, AuNPs have privileges and disadvantages when utilized in the food sector, yet a significant body of research has shown that, due to the specific nontoxic characteristics, AuNPs could be used to address other NP flaws. In this mini review, we present synthesizing methods, food industry applications, and mechanisms of action of gold nanoparticles. Regarding the investigations, gold nanoparticles can play a major role to reduce microbial load in foodstuff and therefore can be implemented in food packaging as an effective approach.

AbstractCold extruded components are characterized by residual stresses, which originate from the experienced manufacturing process. For industrial applications, reproducibility and homogeneity of the final components are key aspects for an optimized quality control. Although striving to obtain identical deformation and surface conditions, fluctuation in the manufacturing parameters and contact shear conditions during the forming process may lead to variations of the spatial residual stress distribution in the final product. This could lead to a dependency of the residual stress measurement results on the relative axial and circumferential position on the sample. An attempt to examine this problem is made by the employment of design of experiments (DoE) methods. A statistical analysis of the residual stress results generated through X-Ray diffraction is performed. Additionally, the ability of cold extrusion processes to generate uniform stress states is analyzed on specimens of austenitic stainless steel 1.4404 and possible correlations with the pre-deformed condition are statistically examined. Moreover, the influence of the coating, consisting of oxalate and a MoS2 based lubricant, on the X-Ray diffraction measurements of the surface is investigated.

Abstract This chapter provides an overview of the structural and synthetic chemistry, and the industrial applications, of dioxazine pigments, a small group of high performance organic pigments. The color violet (or purple) has frequently assumed a prominent position in history, on account of its rarity and cost. The natural colorant Tyrian purple and the first synthetic textile dye, Mauveine, are prime examples of this unique historical feature. CI Pigment Violet 23, also referred to as Dioxazine Violet or Carbazole Violet, is one of the most universally used organic pigments, by far the most important industrial pigment in the violet shade area. Dioxazine Violet is also unique as the dominant industrial violet pigment providing a brilliant, intense violet color and an excellent all-round set of fastness properties. The pigment has a polycyclic molecular structure, originally described wrongly as a linear arrangement, and later shown to adopt an S-shaped arrangement on the basis of X-ray structural analysis. Two other dioxazine pigments are of rather lesser importance. The synthesis and manufacturing route to CI Pigment Violet 23 is described in the review. Finally, a survey of the principal current applications of the individual dioxazine pigments is presented.

Blends of high density polyethylene (HDPE) and chlorinated polyethylene (CPE) have been tested across the whole concentration range. Polyethylene is used to modify the properties of CPE in the elastomer industry, but modification of the properties of polyethylene with CPE is still not usual. Conventional mechanical tests and dynamic mechanical tests were carried out. The blends were found to be multiphase systems of excellent technological compatibility. Between 10 and 15% by weight CPE increased the modulus of polyethylene. X-ray scattering studies showed that the blends contained structural units not present either in the polyethylene or in the CPE. The blends were melt processable and may have industrial applications, too.

Hydrophobic cavities produced by cetyltrimethylammonium cation (CTA+) exchanged and trapped in the interlayer space of montmorillonite were used to remove the harmful hormone contaminant ethinyl estradiol (EE2) from water. X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetry/derivative thermogravimetry, elemental analysis (carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen), Fourier transform infrared, scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive spectroscopy, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller and contact angle analyses showed that the intercalation of 9, 16 and 34 wt% CTA+ in the montmorillonite resulted in the d001 expansion from 1.37 to 1.58, 2.09 and 2.18 nm, respectively. EE2 adsorption experiments showed that the original clay montmorillonite does not remove EE2 from water whereas the intercalated composites showed high efficiency with adsorption capacities of 4.3, 8.8 and 7.3 mg g−1 for M9CTA+, M16CTA+ and M34CTA+, respectively. Moreover, experiments with montmorillonite simply impregnated with cetyltrimethylammonium bromide showed that the intercalation of CTA+ to form the hydrophobic cavity is very important for the adsorption properties. Simple solvent extraction can be used to remove the adsorbed EE2 without significant loss of CTA+, which allows the recovery and reuse of the adsorbent for at least five times.
