1. Agro-Industrial Waste Valorization: Transformation of Starch from Mango Kernel into Biocompatible, Thermoresponsive and High Swelling Nanogels

Mango industry processing disposes 40-60% of this fruit as residues, such as peels and kernels. The exploration of bioproducts from these industrial rejects can reduce environmental impact besides of producing high value-added materials. In this scenario, carboxymethyl starch nanoparticles were produced from mango (Mangifera indica L.) kernel starch. These n

2. Silicon carbide hollow fiber membranes developed for the textile industry wastewater treatment

Abstract In order to reduce the impacts of the industrial effluent on the environment, silicon carbide hollow fiber membranes were prepared by the precipitation-immersion technique and sintered at 1450 and 1500 °C. The membranes were characterized by X-ray diffraction, their surface structure was characterized by scanning electron microscopy and atomic forc

3. Evaluation of the use of silica-alumina refractory waste as a supplementary cementitious material

Abstract The use of supplementary cementitious materials (SMCs) is one of the three essential factors for the sustainability of the cement industry. To reduce CO2 emissions, several studies have introduced new methods for the utilization of industrial wastes such as the addition into cementitious materials. The objectives of this study were to chemically and

4. Multi-stage dumping sequence - a feasible waste management alternative for open pit mining

Abstract Waste management and environmental aspects are progressively gathering attention in the mining industry. Mine planners must deal with increasingly complex tasks to balance between ore block schedules, waste disposal, operational cost and environmental reclamation. The mine incomes are generally related to mining and processing of the ore, thus most

5. Lignin-modified road marking paint: weathering aging studies

Abstract The accelerated artificial aging with ultraviolet radiation, viscosity, density, no-pick-up time, flexibility, and abrasion resistance of lignin-modified road marking paint were evaluated. The addition of lignin did not cause significant changes in the physical chemistry, flexibility and no-pick-time test compared to the precursor paint. The additio

6. The influence of cultivar and enzyme treatment on the aroma complex of apple juice

Abstract This paper aims to determine the influence of a cultivar (Golden delicious and Granny Smith) and enzyme treatments (hot and cold) on the aroma complex of clear apple juice. While the composition of aromatic components of the juice was determined by Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS) technique, a panel of 24 semi trained evaluators carried

7. Comparison between barley malt protein quantification methods

Abstract Brazil imports about 60% of all the malt used by the brewing industry which is spread throughout the country. Even though it is an agricultural country, only a small portion of the barley production has the characteristics to produce barley malt for brewing. Seeking supply to the ever-growing demand and reducing the dependency on other countries and

8. Consumer awareness of food antioxidants. Synthetic vs. Natural

Abstract Food antioxidants are a core topic of food science due mainly to the consumption of ultra-processed foods, which cannot be overlooked, and represent an importance to modern society. At the same time, natural food antioxidants are gaining attention in studies due to its food safety aspects, that commonly affect food choices. Based on this, the presen

The genus Cryptostegia comprises two species, C. madagascariensis (Bojer) and C. grandiflora (Roxb. Ex R. Br) that belong to the Apocynaceae family and are widely distributed in the tropics, as in Australia, New Zealand, India and Brazil, where they cause great socioeconomic and environmental damage, as they are invaders causing damage, mainly in the cultiva

10. Effect of replacing beef fat with safflower oil on physicochemical, nutritional and oxidative stability characteristics of wieners

Abstract Five treatments of wieners were prepared with replacing 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100% of added beef back fat with safflower oil (SO). Changes in pH, thiobarbuturic acid reactive substances (TBARS) and color (L*, a*, b*) values of wieners were determined during manufacturing day and refrigerated storage (5, 10, 15, 20 and 30 d).

11. Comparative Study of Degradation of Reactive Dyes and Decolorization and Detoxification in Aqueous Solution Applying DyP Peroxidases Isolated from Saccharomonospora viridis (SviDyP) and Thermobifida fusca (TfuDyp)

The wastewater that originates from the widespread usage of synthetic dyes in the industry have become a severe environmental problem. Several efforts have been made to develop new types of treatment which are capable of performing the degradation of the dyes from the environment. Within this scope, much attention has been drawn to enzymatic approaches, main

12. Chemical Characteristics and Antioxidant Activity of Astaxanthin Extracted from Shrimp Residues Using Soybean Oil

Shrimp residues generated by the seafood industrial processing are generally discarded in the environment without any further treatment, leading to a loss of nutritional value such as proteins, lipids, chitin, carotenoids, and minerals. This practice can lead to environmental problems due to the decomposition of these substances in the air. The objective of
