Nata de coco one of the beverage products produced from fermented coconut water using the help of starter Acetobacter xylinum. This product is very popular with people ranging from children to parents because the shape and texture resembles a gel.  This study aims to evaluate the physical, chemical and heavy metal content in nata de coco made using nitrogen sources from NPK. The experimental plan used by The Complete Randomized Plan (RAL) is a single factor, the factor is the concentration of NPK consisting of 5 levels of K1 = 0.25%, K2 = 0.5%, K3 = 1%, K4 = 1.5%, K5 = 2%.  Each treatment was repeated 5 times and the total sample observed a total of 25 pieces. The observed observation parameters of nata thickness, nata weight, total fiber content of nata and metal residue content in nata include Cu, Zn, Pb metals, all of which are observed at the end of fermentation (the 14th day of fermentation). The initial parameters of the formation of nata are observed from the beginning of fermentation until the nata sheet is first formed. The results showed that nata de coco made using nitrogen source from NPK concentration of 0.1% has the best physical and chemical properties namely thickness of nata: 1,438 cm, weight of nata: 309 grams, initial formation of nata 3.2 days and total fiber content of nata: 4.024%. The use of NPK produces residues in the form of heavy metals Cu and Zn while pb heavy metals are undetectable. The higher the concentration of NPK given as a source of nitrogen, the higher the residues of heavy metals Cu and Zn in the nata de coco.

Eleven physical and chemical properties of 26 peat materials from a total of five virgin profiles were determined and statistically analyzed for correlations among attributes that relate to the degree of decomposition, and with the rates at which the materials biodegraded. Estimation of fiber content made routinely by pedologists in the field correlated with relative, biodegradability better than any other criterion of decomposition and humification.

The effect of replacing shortening and sugar on the physical and chemical properties of mangaba ice cream and its acceptability were evaluated. Ice cream formulations were tested with the following fat replacers: Selecta Light, Litesse, and Dairy Lo and the following sugar substitutes: Lactitol and Splenda. All formulations were subjected to physical, chemical, and microbiological analyses and evaluated by acceptability tests. In the sensory analysis, it was observed a larger acceptance of the formulations containing Selecta Light (SL) and the combination of Litesse, Lactiol, and Splenda (LLS). The largest reduction in total energetic value (50%) was observed in the formulation LLS. The use of fat and/or sugar substitutes caused a reduction in the air incorporation (overrun) and affected viscosity. The highest melting speed was observed in the formulation with Dairy-Lo, Lactitol, and Splenda. All formulations showed good levels of global acceptability and appearance. The substitution of shortening for fat replacers caused a reduction in air incorporation and changes in ice-cream viscosity. The low-fat mangaba ice-cream elaborated with Selecta Light was the best formulation in terms of viscosity and air incorporation when compared with the control. It also showed a good level of acceptability and low fat content.

<p>The paper describes a series of theoretical aspects concerning residual soil pollution by heavy metals. Heavy metals, unlike organic and radionuclide pollutants, are considered to be the most persistent/resistant polluting substances in the soil, displaying a tendency for accumulation. The behavior of heavy metals in the soil depends on the physical and chemical properties of the soil, as well as on their origin and source. Knowledge of the properties of heavy metals is very important, having in view the necessity of applying isolation measures for a contaminated site.</p>

Sewage sludge refers to a nutrient-rich by-product and organic matter from treatment plants and has become a challenge for many research segments to find a rational and sustainable destination for this material. In this context, the carbonization of biomass (by the pyrolysis process) results in biochar, characterized by a very stable material with specific physical and chemical properties and can represent a very important tool for this challenge. Thus, the objective of the present work was to transform, bypyrolysis process, small portions of the biosolid generated in Rancharia ETE into biochar. In addition, both the biosolid and the generated bicarbons were subjected to physical, chemical and structural analyzes in order to proceed with their respective characterization. From the analysis, it was found that the treatment submitted to temperature of 550°C as the best option for possible applications.Keywords:biosolid; pyrolysis; biochar.

The physical and chemical properties changes of broth in the fermentation process of Phellinus and its mutant strain were studied. The results showed that the mycelia yield of the two strains of Phellinus increased rapidly in the first 6 days and increased slowly 6 days later, the soluble protein content of broth took on an increasing trend, up to 0.15 mg/mL and 0.13 mg/mL respectively, the variation tendency of the content of polysaccharide and viscosities of broth were semblable, that was declined in the initial stage of fermentation and change little in later stage. The physical, chemical properties and viscosities show similarity in both two strains’ broth, therefore, the physical and chemical properties of broth in the fermentation process of Phellinus changed regularly.

Advantage of alloys on the basis of system Al-Be,Al-Be-REM is raised technological, physical, chemical and corrosion resistance properties in damp and excessively aggressive atmospheres [. According to literary reviews, this alloys basically are foundry-hypoeuthectic and hypereuthectic, and the technology of moulding of these alloys very difficult and demands application of operations modifying. Difficultly deleted impurity basically (Fe), specifically influence phase structure, naturally influencing on physical and chemical properties industrial silumines with the maintenance not less than 0.4-0.5 %. Many additives as Fe, Mg, Ti, Be, especially in hypoeuthectic silumines increasing strength and foundry properties, can reduce them corrosion-resistance. In connection with the above-stated is of interest researches of influence of impurity such elements as, Be and REM on corrosion resistance industrial alumines. Studies corrosion-resistance spent samples potentiostatic a method on device " Potentiostate P-50" with a registering recorder in the environment of the muriatic solutions in a mode "Potential". he analysis of experimental data have shown, that addition Be, positively modifying structure of foundry alloys, reduces influences containing in it Fe, increases strength and corrosion resistance, which calculations testify experimental data of electrochemical indicators [2,3].

This review article elaborates the pH and nutrients detection sensitive materials and methods along with their principle of operations, merits, demerits, and application area. The sensitive materials used in the sensors react with the analytes and shows variation in electrical, physical, chemical, biological and optical parameters. The glass probe method, optical light spectroscopy, ion-selective electrodes, ion-selective field effective transistors, electrochemical interdigitated conductimetric method and microcantilever methods are the predominant techniques to detect the pH and nutrients in various medium. Most of the researchers have discussed the fabrication of pH and nutrients sensors individually in various applications, but very few numbers of sensitive materials and techniques discussed to detect the pH and nutrients in the soil. There is a strong relationship between pH and nutrients in the soil based on a number of important physical and chemical properties of the soil. We are strongly recommending that soil pH and nutrients measuring sensors can develop through the combinational approach of pH and nutrients with the help of nanostructured materials, seems to be more effective for agriculture applications.
