Introduction: Recent findings of acrylamide, a carcinogenic agent to humans, in foods have led to great efforts to elucidate the mechanisms of acrylamide formation and its mitigation. The acrylamide was generated during the browning process by the Maillard reaction of amino acid asparagine and reducing sugars at temperatures above 120 °C. Asparagine was determined to be a precursor of acrylamide formation. Therefore, asparagine reduction in raw materials can be taken into account to limit the acrylamide level in prepared foods. L-asparaginase has been used to consume acrylamide precursor by catalyzing the conversion of asparagine into aspartic acid and ammonia. Several factors including enzyme concentration, pH, temperature and frying time can influence the efficiency of acrylamide mitigation by enzyme. In the present work, we selected potatoes as raw materials to investigate the effects of factors on the acrylamide mitigation in fried potatoes. Methods: By pre-treating potato strips in different conditions of enzyme concentrations, pH, temperature and frying time, the effects of these parameters on acrylamide levels in fried products were evaluated by measuring UV-Vis spectra of sample solutions containing acrylamide. The maximum absorbance values at 224 nm were used to determine the acrylamide concentrations by calculation from a calibration curve. Experimental data were statistically analyzed by one-way ANOVA. Colorspace measurements were performed to describe the differences in colors of the fried products after various frying times. Results: A calibration curve was established to determine the acrylamide content of sample solutions via their maximum absorbance values. Pre-treatment of potato strips with a solution of 1.0 IU/mL asparaginase at 37 °C, pH 7.3, for 30 min led to a 45.6% reduction of acrylamide in French fries compared to a solution without enzyme. The optimum pH value for the most efficient enzyme activity was 7.3. Frying time ranging from 1.0 to 6.0 min increased acrylamide content and induced a darker appearance product. Conclusions: By using UV-Vis measurements, we demonstrated the effects of factors on L-asparaginase based acrylamide mitigation in fried potatoes. The conditions which gave the lowest acrylamide concentrations were assessed. The results could be applicable for commercial processes to minimize acrylamide content in prepared potatoes.

Sugar beet pulp (SBP) was used as low value adsorbent for the removal of calcium from hard water. Batch experiments were conducted to determine the factors affecting adsorption of the process such as pH value and Ca concentration. The adsorption equilibrium of Ca2+ by the SBP is reached after 100min and a pseudo second-order kinetic model can describe the adsorption process. The initial concentrations of Ca varied from 927 to 1127mgCa2+/L. A dose of 30g/L sugar beet pulp was sufficient for the optimum removal of calcium. The overall uptake of Ca ions by sugar beet pulp has its maximum at pH=8. The adsorption equilibrium data fitted well with the Langmuir adsorption isotherm equation.

The problem associated with the household behavior on solid waste disposal site in today�s society is complex because of the large quantity and diverse nature of the wastes. Due increase the population, rapid development, global agricultural development has moved rapidly, limitations of financing, emerging limitations of both energy and raw materials and also add to the complexity of any waste management system, large quantities of wastes are being generated in different forms such as solid, liquid and gases. This research explored factors affecting the level of participation in solid waste segregation and recycling of households in Romania, as well as examining current Romania households waste management practices and their knowledge of waste management. This study investigated the solid waste situation and the organization of solid waste management in both urban and rural settings from the perspective of households. Solid waste management is a key component of public services which needs to serve the urban and rural municipalities in an efficient way in order to maintain a decent standard of public health.

Polyethylene glycol (PEG-200) and itaconic acid (IA) were used as raw materials to compound macromer through esterification reaction. A new type of specialized water-coke slurry dispersant was synthesized by copolymerization of microware, sodium methallyl sulfonate (SMAS) and maleic anhydride (MA). The experiment showed that the concentration of slurry could be reached to 63% with the dosage of 0.2%, and the apparent viscosity was 1140.3 mPa∙s. Through the analysis of the infrared, the dispersant was confirmed to have polyethylene glycol branched chain and hydrophilic functional groups such as carboxyl or sulfonic group. When the concentration of dispersant was 30 g/L, the surface tension of water could be decreased from 72.70 mN/m to 45.50 mN/m. Furthermore, when the solution pH value was 9, the Zeta potential of semi-coke powder surface could also be decreased from-13.38 mV to-25 mV with the addition of dispersant. Thus, this dispersant could increase electronegativity of semi-coke powder surface, enhance steric-hindrance effect and prevent the phenomenon of powder flocculation and gather. Meantime, it also could reinforce the semi-coke hydrophilic by reducing the surface tension of water effectively. And then, the high performance water-coke slurry could be obtained.

Abstract With chili and liquid beef tallow as the main raw materials, the processing conditions of chili flavor beef tallow were explored. Gas chromatograpy-ion mobility spectrometry (GC-IMS) was used to determine the volatile compounds in chili flavor beef tallow. The capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin in chili flavor beef tallow were determined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The optimum technological conditions were determined, and the index of chromatic aberration, cholesterol was also determined. Based on GC-IMS analysis, 102 kinds of volatile compounds were detected, and the sample III (the ratio of solid–liquid was 1:5, the frying temperature was 120 °C, and the frying time was 15 min) performed better than other samples. The preparation of chili beef tallow improves its antioxidant activity and makes its aroma more intense and more in line with the taste of Chinese people, which provides a theoretical and practical basis for the development of spice beef tallow in the future.

Krill oil enriched with polyunsaturated fatty acids is in the form of phospholipid. However, its application as a dietary supplement is limited, because of its rapid deterioration. Thus, this study aims to investigate the oxidative stability of krill oil extracted from Euphausia superba. Under optimal conditions (enzyme concentration 0.16%, enzymolysis time 2.9 h, and enzymolysis temperature of 45 °C) designed by response surface methodology, the extraction yield of krill oil is 86.02%. Five assays, including peroxide value (POV), thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS), pH value, and turbidity were used to determine the oxidative stability of krill oil nanoliposomes during storage. Carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) nanoliposomes showed a significant reduction in POV and TBARS values, a prevention of pH value decrease and turbidity increase. This study indicated that CMCS nanoliposome can effectively improve the oxidative stability of krill oil during storage. Furthermore, the release profile in vitro illustrated that the controlled release of krill oil carried out by CMCS nanoliposomes is feasible.

Abstract Knowledge of pH and buffering capacity of raw fiber materials is important for understanding the effects of raw material on the curing rate of urea formaldehyde (UF) resin, used for panel manufacturing, especially with some less-desirable wood materials such as bark, top, and commercial thinnings. The effects of pH and buffering capacity as well as catalyst content on the gel time of UF resin were investigated. The results obtained from this study indicate that bark has a lower pH value as well as higher acid and alkaline buffering capacities than wood of the same species due to their extractives. The pH values of the raw fiber materials studied decrease with increased absolute and relative acid buffering capacity due to the increased absolute acidity mass in the solution. At lower levels of added catalyst, the effect of raw material pH on UF resin gel time is significant, while it is insignificant at higher catalyst contents. This may be due to the acidity of wood, which is the main acid catalyst source of the mixture at lower levels of added catalyst, while at higher levels, catalyst is the main source. With higher catalyst contents, all studied raw materials mixed with UF resin result in a longer gel time than does UF resin alone.
