Making cheese from donkey and mares milk is considered unfeasible, due to difficulties in coagulation and curd forming. Encyclopedia of Dairy Sciences 2nd edition (2011) reported that no cheese is made from equid milk. However in 2015 a pioneering study of Iannella have reported the first protocols for making fresh donkey and mares cheese, subsequently there have been only a few protocols by other researchers. Anyhow, the low cheese yield of these protocols together with a higher cost of production of the raw material currently limit practical application. Also the processing of camel milk into cheese is technically more difficult than milk from other domestic dairy animals which may relate to the poor rennetability of camel milk. Therefore, a research project was planned by Iannella which has developed a technological procedure to produce cheese from camel, donkey and mares milk with a high transformation yield by the use of locust bean gum, k- carrageenan and lactic coagulation in a dedicated process, thus with a mini mal adjustments in the manufacturing technology and equipment. The whey proteins of milk with this method are withheld and this improve the efficiency of making cheese and increase further yield of cheese however preserving body and texture similar of cheese prepared by conventional processes. In the near future this protocol or similar, they could represent a source of innovative cheese and the development definitive of a new commercial scale of cheese from donkey, mares or camel milk or from others minor milks at the same time improving food and animal biodiversity and therefore all the ensuing benefits.

Abstract Waste biomass can be used as a raw material for food packaging. Different concentrations of gelatin (GEL) were introduced into the leftover rice (LR) system to form an interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) for improving the properties of the films. The structure and morphology of films were evaluated by Fourier transform infrared, scanning electron microscopy, and atomic force microscopy, which showed good compatibility between LR and GEL. The moisture content and oil absorption rate of IPN films were down by 105% and 182%, respectively, which showed better water and oil resistance than the LR film. In addition, increasing GEL concentration led to enhancement in the tensile strength of films from 2.42 to 11.40 MPa. The water contact angle value of the IPN films (117.53°) increased by 147% than the LR film (47.56°). The low haze of IPN films was obtained with the increment of the mutual entanglement of LR and GEL. The 30–50% GEL addition improved the water vapor barrier and thermal stability properties of the IPN films. This study highlights that LR as waste biomass can have a practical application in food packaging.

Being a fast growing plastic manufacturing industry, rotational molding has been using the linear polyethylenes extensively as the raw material. As these materials have shown insufficient mechanical properties for certain applications where strength and stiffness of the products are the main concerns, worldwide rotational molders have expressed a need for stronger and stiffer materials to be available for rotomolding. A possible attractive solution may be the recently developed microfibril reinforced composites (MFCs). Blends of linear medium density polyethylene/polyethylene terephthalate (LMDPE/PET) with an MFC structure are manufactured on a commercial-scale set-up and thereafter used in rotational molding. The samples are characterized morphologically and tested mechanically. The results obtained show that the MFC-concept has good application opportunities in the polymer processing including rotational molding.

The dairy industry produces large amounts of whey as a by- product or co-product, which has led to considerable environmental problems due to its high organic matter content. Over the past decades, possibilities of more environmentally and economically efficient whey utilisation have been studied, primarily to convert unwanted end products into a valuable raw material. Sustainable whey management is mostly oriented to biotechnological and food applications for the development of value-added products such as whey powders, whey proteins, functional food and beverages, edible films and coatings, lactic acid and other biochemicals, bioplastic, biofuels and similar valuable bioproducts. This paper provides an overview of the sustainable utilization of whey and its constituents, considering new refining approaches and integrated processes to covert whey, or lactose and whey proteins to high value-added whey-based products.

Jerusalem Artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus L.) is a technical plant that manages to adapt very well to unfriendly environments, even in polluted or poor in nutrients soils and may serve in the near future as an important raw material for the food, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries. Furthermore, the plant is growing rapidly, producing large amounts of biomass and offers the possibility to be harvested up to 2 times a year, therefore presents a high potential to be used in the field of biofuel production. The plant's capacity to multiply easily by developing small tubers in the soil, allowing the production of economically advantageous crops, can be considered an advantage for biofuel producers, however this feature might be a drawback for agricultural land owners considering the very invasive behavior. The present paper aim to assess two Jerusalem Artichokes crops established on marginal soils, assessing productivity and the extensive impact on the ecosystem, paying a special attention to plant invasiveness tendencies.

In the present article the authors discuss the possibility of increasing of the suitability of milk as a raw material for cheese production through preservation of native properties of milk proteins, in the first place biologically complete whey proteins as well as the weight ratio of total and ionic calcium. For thermodynamic evaluation of the biosystem we used activation energy (Ea), chemical, physical and organoleptic characteristics. As a result: a methodology has been developed for determination of foodstuffs activation energy; it was determined that with increase in the proportion of the pectin introduced the activation energy and structuredness of the biosystem also increases, when the proportion of pectin is 0.5% the activation energy is 1.788 kJ/mol, when the proportion of pectin is 3% the activation energy is 2.241 kJ/mol, which means the increase by 25%; in the studied pasteurization standard, the maximum content of calcium is observed at 85oC and is equal to 133.8 mg%., in the control sample of milk the content of calcium is 130 mg%; addition of a complex food additive as a protector makes it possible to preserve native properties of the biosystem and guarantees formation of a denser protein coagulum which allows producing high-quality fermented milk products and cheeses.

Lift Off

The poor conversion efficiency and obvious lift-off effect of the electromagnetic acoustic transducer (EMAT) are commonly known to be problems for its practical application. For the purpose of enhancing the performance of EMATs, numerical simulations were performed in order to analyze the effect of various parameters. The results indicate that only the magnet-to-coil distance can effectively enhance the conversion efficiency and weaken the lift-off effect at the same time. When the magnet-to-coil distance is 2 mm, the lift-off effect will continue to be weakened as the magnet-to-coil distance increases, whereas the decrease of the lift-off effect is inconspicuous and the conversion efficiency starts to decline at this time. Therefore, to get the best performance of this specific EMAT, the suitable magnet-to-coil distance is 2 mm. The experiment effectively verifies the improvement of EMATs with a magnet-to-coil distance of 2 mm.

The principal objective of blast furnace is to produce high quality molten iron at a high rate with a low consumption. It is very important to control sinter chemical composition and comprehensive performance. This is because the sinter is the main raw material for ironmaking. In this paper, a predictive system for sinter chemical composition TFe and the solid fuel consumption was established based on BP neural network, which was trained by actual production data. The MATLAB m file editor was used to write code directly in this paper. Practical application shows the applications of the system not only can reduce the work difficulty of technical personnel, but also can improve the hit ratio of production index and the productivity.
