Sensory evaluation and chemical composition of Solanum nigrum and Solanum torvum herbal tea and spice.

Herbal teas are ingested for various purposes and by diverse populations across the globe. There is a growing recognition among individuals of the advantages associated with the use of this beverage, leading to a heightened demand for the manufacture of herbal tea derived from therapeutic plants. Spices on the other hand add flavour to food but could pose harm if it is high in phytates and oxalates. The objective of this study was to develop natural spices and herbal tea with health beneficial properties using Solanum nigrum and Solanum torvum berries. Herbal tea samples from S. nigrum were prepared by sorting berries, maceration, divided into two (fermenting at 18 °C and non-fermenting) and dried at 60 °C for 12 h in a hot oven. Spices from S. torvum and S. nigrum were prepared by removing the berries from the stalk, freeze-drying and smooth milling into fine powder. In addition, antinutrient, phytochemical and sensory evaluation studies were conducted on these spices and herbal teas. A nine-point hedonic scale was utilized for the purpose of conducting a consumer acceptability sensory evaluation test using 101 untrained panelists. Data was then analyzed by t-test, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and the level of significance (p < 0.05) was assessed using Tukey's and Dunnett's multiple comparison tests. The panellists expressed a favourable perception towards Solanum nigrum unripe unfermented green herbal tea (6.65 ± 2.08) as compared to the other formulated teas due to the components working together in a way that produces a nice tea sample. Both Solanum nigrum and Solanum torvum spices contained various levels of catechins, saponins, flavonoids, oxalates, phytates and tannins comparable to literature. The herbal tea samples exhibited a range of catechin content, varying from 0.255 to 0.756 mg/g. The antioxidant activity of the various herbal tea samples ranged from 66.37 ± 0.24 to 78.53 ± 0.18 µg/mL GAE as determined by the DPPH free radical assay Fermented black herbal teas recorded higher total phenols (2.80 ± 0.09d), total flavonoids (21.84 ± 1.84c) and showed greater antioxidant activity (78.53 ± 0.18a) as compared to the unfermented green herbal teas. The process of fermentation resulted in a decrease in pH from 7.22 to 6.53 within a period of 12 h. The Total Titratable Acidity (TTA) grew as the fermentation period progressed, whereas the Total Soluble Solids (TSS) decreased. Phytates were the least antinutrients among the two Solanum species accounting for 0.02 mg/100 g and 0.03 mg/100 g in S. torvum berries (STBs) and (S. nigrum berries) SNBs respectively.

Silicon powder production from organosilicon waste by a beneficiation-metallurgy combination process

A large amount of waste contact is produced in the preparation of organosilicon monomer. The current researches are mainly focused on copper extraction, with little attention paid to silicon. Moreover, the large accumulation of decoppered residue from organosilicon waste causes environmental pollution and resource waste. In this study, a novel beneficiation-metallurgy combination process was developed for the extraction of silicon from decoppered residue, which was defined as high gradient magnetic separation followed by roasting and acid leaching. The results showed that high gradient magnetic separation was effective in separating silicon from metallic impurities. Under the optimum conditions, the removal efficiencies of metallic impurities are more than 80 %. Fe content in the non-magnetic product can be further reduced to 0.82 % by cleaning. The non-magnetic products obtained by a roughing-cleaning process are subjected to roasting and acid leaching experiments. Under the optimum conditions, the removal efficiency of C and O can reach 94.26 % and 96.32 %, respectively. The final silicon powder product meets the standard of "YS/T1109–2016", which can be reused in the production of methylchlorosilane. This process is suitable for large-scale treatment of decoppered residue and is simple enough to help solve the problem of large-scale output of organosilicon waste.

Obtaining coffee mucilage microcapsules by spray drying using chemically modified banana starch

The growing global consumption of coffee has positioned Colombia as the third largest producer worldwide. However, the processing of coffee beans generates significant by-products, such as mucilage, which is rich in phenolic compounds with antioxidant activity. Inadequate disposal of this waste creates environmental problems and economic losses. This research aimed to develop high-quality coffee mucilage capsules using spray drying technology. Chemically modified banana starch with octenyl succinic anhydride (OSA) and commercial maltodextrin were used as coating materials to enhance the properties of the capsules. Physicochemical and functional characterization was performed on samples of fresh and filtered coffee mucilage (MF), concentrated mucilage (MC), concentrated mucilage with the addition of maltodextrin and OSA-modified starch (MCMA), and finally, spray-dried coffee mucilage powder (MP). The antioxidant capacity (AC) of the mucilage was evaluated throughout the processing stages. MF showed an AC of 179.2 µmol of trolox/100 g, while the final coffee mucilage powder (MP) showed a significantly higher AC of 5444.35 µmol of trolox/100 g. Additionally, the MP showed a stability index of 0.48, water activity (aw) of 0.19, solubility of 14.64%, and a high water retention capacity of 90.53%. Microscopic analysis revealed amorphous structures with an average size of 29.16 ± 2.12 µm in the MP. These findings highlight the potential of spray drying with food-grade matrices such as OSA-modified banana starch to encapsulate coffee mucilage, preserving its antioxidant capacity and creating a new functional food ingredient with water retention properties.

Evaluating the pozzolanic activity of andesite and calcined marl for high-performance concrete: a valorization of algerian mineral resources

This study evaluates the pozzolanic activity of andesite and calcined marl sourced from Algeria for potential use as supplementary cementitious materials. The research addresses the need for sustainable construction practices by leveraging local mineral resources. The objectives include assessing the pozzolanic properties of these materials and their effects on mortar mixes. The methodology involves collecting samples from specific quarries, crushing and grinding them into fine powders, and calcining the marl at 750°C. The materials were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Pozzolanic activity was evaluated through Frattini and Saturated Lime Tests, followed by mortar mix analyses with varying substitution levels. Results indicated that andesite and calcined marl exhibit significant pozzolanic activity, with andesite showing the highest reactivity. The inclusion of these additives improved the formation of calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) and reduced portlandite content, enhancing the durability and mechanical properties of the mortar. The study concludes that these local mineral resources are viable alternatives to conventional cementitious materials, promoting sustainability in the construction industry.

Concentration of Silver from Recycling of Fine Powder of Wasted Videogame Printed Circuit Boards through Reverse Froth Flotation and Magnetic Separation Processes

Electronic waste stream grows day by day; printed circuit boards are a kind of solid waste that accounts for 6% of electronic waste. When these are discarded, they can cause soil, water, and air contamination; however, if recycled, these can be considered as a secondary source of metals. Physical comminution of printed circuit boards generates particles with sizes smaller than 250 µm, which are typically not included in the recycling process because they are considered as dust and unvaluable; nevertheless, precious and base metals can be found in these particles. The concentration of metals like silver, among others, from these particles can be achieved by reverse froth flotation in a flotation column followed by magnetic separation of the tails products. A mass balance of the flotation column feed, concentrate, and tails indicates that using a pulp modified with 5 ppm methyl isobutyl carbinol plus 5 g/ton oleic acid (both biodegradable reagents), the concentration of the products improved, resulting in recoveries of 86.13 and 13.87% in the concentrate and tails zones, respectively, with a grade of 74.4% in the tails flow. Magnetic separation of the tails product increases slightly the concentration of silver, reaching a silver grade of 74.5%, a recovery amount similar to those obtained employing complex and environmentally unfriendly processes.

Synthesizing a novel cerium-modified graphene powder to achieve long-term anticorrosion performance of epoxy powder coatings

Graphene with extremely large specific surface area possesses great loading capacity for various kinds of corrosion inhibitors to obtain long-term anticorrosion properties. In this study, the corrosion inhibitor cerium nitrate was employed to modify graphene on which the cerium species were loaded. The as-synthesized cerium-modified graphene (Ce-Gr) was introduced into epoxy powder coating to provide long-effective corrosion protection on steel. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis implies that cerium species were successfully loaded on graphene in the form of cerium nitrate and cerium oxide. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observation exhibited that Ce-Gr improved structural density and reduced the porosity in coating matrix. Electrochemical measurements demonstrated incredibly high impedance values of 1010.5 Ω cm2 for the epoxy powder coatings containing Ce-Gr after immersion in 3.5% NaCl solution for 45 days. Additionally, the smallest average corrosion propagation width of only 0.60 mm on the substrate at scratch after salt spray test, the shorter cathodic disbondment diameter of 3.49 mm and the fewest corrosion oxidation products with extremely low oxygen content of 3 wt% on substrate after salt solution immersion for 120 days implied that the coating with the addition of 0.05 wt% Ce-Gr possessed the most effective corrosion inhibition property to protect the steel substrate for a long period.

Structure, microstructure, mechanical and luminescent properties of (Y0.96Еu0.01Sm0.01Tb0.01Er0.01)NbO4 ceramics obtained by uniaxial hot pressing

Fine powders of yttrium orthoniobate activated by Eu, Sm, Tb, Er have been synthesized by the sol-gel. The synthesized powders have been calcined at different temperatures (1000, 1100 and 1180 °C). Luminescent ceramics (Y0.96Еu0.01Sm0.01Tb0.01Er0.01)NbO4 were prepared from fine powders by uniaxial hot pressing (UHP) via various technological modes. For the first time, the crystal structure, microstructure, spectral composition, photoluminescence properties of (Y0.96Еu0.01Sm0.01Tb0.01Er0.01)NbO4 ceramics have been studied depending on the temperature conditions of the synthesis of powders and UHP conditions during sintering of ceramics. The mechanical properties of these ceramics (Young's modulus, microhardness and critical stress intensity factor for the mode I KIC) have been evaluated.

Self-Healing Thermal-Reversible Low-Temperature Polyurethane Powder Coating Based on Diels-Alder Reaction.

This work focused on obtaining a low-temperature powder coating characterized by self-healing properties. To achieve this, acrylic resin, blocked polyisocyanates (bPICs) with 1,2,4-triazole, and unsaturated commercial resin were used. The synthesis of bPICs with triazole enabled the low-temperature curing and reversible Diels-Alder (DA) reaction at 160 °C. The chemical structure of bPICs was confirmed using 1H-NMR. The occurrence of the DA and retro-DA (rDA) reactions in the crosslinked polymer, at temperatures of 60-85 °C and 90-130 °C, respectively, was confirmed using Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), and FT-IR spectroscopy. The self-healing properties of the powder coating were examined using polarized optical microscopy. Additionally, the occurrence of the DA and rDA reactions between triazole and unsaturated polyester resin was investigated through repeated self-healing tests.

A latent curing agent for rapid curing of phenolic epoxy resin at low temperature

AbstractDeveloping effective latent curing agent for rapid curing of epoxy resins at low temperatures remains challenging. This study reports a latent curing agent, ortho‐cresol phenolic epoxy resin‐bisphenol A (EOCN‐BPA), prepared through the addition reaction of o‐methyl phenolic epoxy resin with BPA. When blended with dicyandiamide (DICY) in a 1:3 molar ratio, EOCN‐BPA/DICY is used to cure a linear epoxy phenolic novolac (EPN) resin (epoxy equivalent: 550 g eq−1, softening point: approximately 82°C), at an onset curing temperature of 90°C, which is considerably lower than the onset curing temperature of DICY with EPN (160°C). However, EOCN‐BPA does not react with EPN without a catalyst. Therefore, this latent curing system is successfully applied in powder coatings, rapid curing at 120°C within 3 min without an additional catalyst, outperforming the EPN/EOCN‐BPA system using cocatalyst 2‐methylimidazole. Consequently, DICY catalyzes the curing reaction between the phenol hydroxyl group and epoxy resin and participates in it. The prepared powder coating exhibits excellent storage stability, maintaining its properties for over 3 months at room temperature. These findings demonstrate the excellent latent properties of EOCN‐BPA/DICY, highlighting its potential as a highly effective latent curing agent.

Odd-even trends in the series of new bis(α,ω-alkanediamine)dibromocadmium(II) coordination polymers: Crystal structure and thermal decomposition

In this paper, organic-inorganic coordination polymers of the CdBr2(H2N-(CH2)n-NH2) general formula, where n = 4 – 10 and 12, were studied. All the materials were synthesized as very fine powders from metal salt and diamine solutions following an analogous simple procedure. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images and recorded powder X-ray diffraction patterns (PXRD) allowed for the assessment of the purity and crystallinity of the products. Based on the collected diffraction data, lattice parameters and symmetry were determined. For five of the synthesized compounds (n = 4, 6, 7, 8, and 12) that were of relatively high purity and sufficient crystallinity, crystal structure models were determined and refined. It was found that the structure symmetry depends on the parity of the number of carbon atoms in the diamine molecules. Structures of the investigated compounds belonging to the even series are centrosymmetric while the ones from the odd series are not (P21 space group). Structures’ symmetry of compounds based on even diamines decreases from P2/m to P1¯ with increasing length of the organic molecules. Diamine molecules are aligned parallel to the diagonals of the (010) faces of the unit cell and there is an almost perfectly linear correlation between the value of a lattice parameter and the number of C atoms. There are, however, separate trends for even or odd series. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and non-ambient PXRD measurements provided information about the thermal decomposition of the materials. The temperature of decomposition decreases with the growing length of diamine molecules and achieves the lowest value (176 °C, 449 K) for the compound with 1,12-diaminododecane (the longest diamine among the studied ones) while the sample with 1,4-diaminobutane is the most stable one (up to around 284 °C, 557 K). The studied compounds also show odd-even separate trends concerning the decomposition temperature. The compounds with even diamines start to decompose at relatively higher temperatures than the ones belonging to the odd series.

Reversible photoluminescence shift in imidazolium l-tartrate crystal triggered by acoustic shock waves

Abstract Imidazolium l-tartrate crystal has been grown by employing the slow evaporation technique using de-ionized water as the solvent. An impact study on the exposure of shock pulses on the surface of the material has been carried out and the influence of shock waves on its photo luminance has been investigated. In the present work, in order to carry out the experiment, a shock wave of Mach number 1.5 has been utilized which has been generated by a semi-automated Reddy Tube. Imidazolium tartrate crystal is made into a fine powder and split into four identical parts to be used for further characterization. A series of shock waves such as 25, 50, and 75 are impacted on the respective samples while keeping one of the samples as the control. The powder X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that the observed increase in peak intensity and peak shifting is due to the increase in the number of shock pulses from 25 to 75. FTIR is performed to analyze the presence of functional groups in the material before and after shock exposure. Photoluminescence measurements are also carried out for the pre- and post-shocked samples to determine the nature of optical emission with respect to various shock pulse counts. The above experimental analyzes confirm that the title sample undergoes a reversible photoluminescence shift induced by shock waves.

Development of Banana Peel Powder Incorporated Functional Cookies

Nendran Banana is one of the most common fruits consumed worldwide, and it contributes significantly to the waste produced by food consumption. Banana peel waste has a significant amount of food fibre, phenols, flavonoids, antioxidants, antibacterial, and anticarcinogenic substances. Repurposing banana processing waste, such as peel, has the potential to boost raw material output and, as a result, reduce food industry waste while simultaneously improving the availability of nutritional and nutraceutical potential among the human population. This study is aimed to assess the nutritional, functional and bioactive compounds of prepared nendran banana peel flour and its incorporation in to various proportion of cookies formulation. Nendran bananas were purchased from a local market, sorted, peeled, soaked in 2% lime juice for 15 minutes, dried, powdered with a mixer grinder, sieved to produce a fine powder, and analysed for physical and functional properties such as length, width, and dimension, water and oil holding capacity, swelling powder, and proximate composition such as moisture, ash, carbohydrate, protein, fat, and fibre. The approximate composition of the banana flour was determined using AOAC standard techniques. Bioactive components were also assessed. The two varieties of cookies were prepared with the incorporation of nendran banana peel powder at the rate of 5 % and 10% and analysed for their nutritional components. The functional features of nendran banana peel powder revealed that it had a higher water-holding capacity, good oil-holding capacity, high solubility, and a high swelling capacity. Nendran Banana Peel Flour was discovered to be high in protein and crude fibre. It possesses greater antioxidant scavenging activity as well as possible polyphenolic substances. The produced food formulation was organoleptically evaluated using a 5-point hedonic rating scale, and the best product was chosen based on the sensory scores. The study suggested that the nendran banana peel flour is a versatile nutritional supplementation and provides a great health impact.

The purpose of research is to study the effect of different amounts of rosehip powder on the quality of sugar cookies and cakes made from premium wheat flour. Tasks: preparing powder from the pulp of rose hips; setting up a laboratory experiment with different dosages of rosehip powder (RP); a comparative study of its effect on quality and nutritional value using the example of sugar cookies and muffins. RP was added to products in amounts of 3, 6, 9, 12 and 15 % instead of wheat flour in dry matter. The control for the studied variants were products without RP. The object of study is a fine powder of light orange color, with a fruity aroma, sweet and sour, slightly astringent taste. The humidity of the RP was (9.3 ± 0.23) %; titratable acidity – (14.1 ± 0.17) mmol H+/100 g; vitamin C content – 3.66 %; content of polyuronides (pectin substances) – 13.8 %. A tasting assessment of sugar cookies showed the optimal option with the addition of 6 and 9 % RP; For the cake, the optimal option was to add 12 % powder. A further increase in the amount of added RP showed a deterioration in the organoleptic properties due to the appearance, taste and aroma of the products. The moisture content of the products did not depend on the amount of RP and was in the range of 8.8–9.2 % for cookies and 12.5–13.0 % for cake. In the control sample and variants with a dosage of 3 and 6 %, the porosity of the cookies was assessed as good; for options with dosages of 9 and 12 % – average; 15 % is bad. The wetness of cookies decreased with an increase in the amount of added PS. In sugar cookies with 6 % RP, the vitamin C content increases by 121 mg/100 g compared to the control; in the Stolichny cake, when adding 12 % PS, it increases by 241 mg/100 g.

Phase Transformation of AlV55 Alloy at High Temperature

Vanadium–aluminum alloy is an important intermediate alloy for preparing aviation grade titanium alloys, and its product quality directly affects the finished product quality of titanium alloys. In this study, focusing on the problems of high powder content (19.8%) and low product yield in AlV55 alloy products, we conduct research on alloy quality control technology and implement a vanadium–aluminum alloy cooling crystallization control process. The research results indicate that there are three phases in AlV55 alloy, namely Al8V5, AlV, and Al2V3 phases. As the temperature decreases, the AlV phase gradually decomposes into Al8V5 phase and Al2V3 phase, and the proportion of Al8V5 phase is positively correlated with the fineness. Rapid cooling can reduce the formation of Al8V5 phase. The experimental results show that high-temperature water quenching can increase the proportion of vanadium–aluminum solid solution phase in the alloy from 19.03% to 31.76%, and reduce the fine powder rate to 13.2%, providing important product quality control means and technical support for the production of vanadium–aluminum alloys.

Insight into the Effect of Nanobubbles on Fine Muscovite Powder Flotation in Different Dodecylamine Concentrations and Stirring Intensities: Kinetics and Mechanism

Flotation-introduced nanobubbles were expected to be an efficient and economical method to recover fine muscovite. This study aimed to explore the mechanism of the change appearing in flotation after introducing nanobubbles through micro-flotation, particle vision and measurement, flotation kinetics, and induction time measurement. The results of micro-flotation, which respectively feed muscovite or muscovite pretreated with nanobubbles in different concentrations of dodecylamine (DDA), were fitted with four flotation kinetic models using Origin. Different methods were used to examine how the introduction of nanobubbles affected the flotation process. The results showed that nanobubbles improved both the flotation rate and recovery of muscovite. Nanobubbles played different roles in different stirring intensities. At low stirring intensity, nanobubbles did not perform well. In suitable stirring intensity, nanobubbles helped particles aggregate and improved the collision probability between bubbles and minerals. However, at high stirring intensity, shear forces caused by ultra-high fluid velocities could disrupt particle aggregation.

Fine material filtration using conventional pressure and steam pressure: a relationship between filter cake height to crack formation and residual moisture content

Crack formation is an undesired phenomenon encountered frequently during the filtration process, especially in fine particulate filter cakes. This phenomenon causes disadvantages related to the dewatering efficiency and washing efficiency. The filter cake height has not only an effect on crack formation but also meaning in the economic and operational of filtration. In this research, Limestone and Coal are the chosen fine powder materials to survey the effect of this factor during conventional pressure filtration (CPF) and steam pressure filtration (SPF). The permeability ratio is suggested to quantify cracking while the saturation and the residual moisture content indicate the water remaining. Test results show lower dewatering efficiency as well as an increasing trend of probability and degree of cracks when the filter cake becomes thicker. By visual observation, macro- and micro-cracking are described for shrinkage behavior on filter cake. The delamination was also mentioned and observed after filtration. Steam pressure filtration (SPF) is introduced as one of the methods to reduce the degree, even prevent the formation of cracks as well as improve the dewatering efficiency.

No lipiodol, no beads-another transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) with fine cisplatin powder and porous gelatin particles for TACE-naïve, multifocal, up-to-seven out hepatocellular carcinoma.

The Japanese Interventional oncology group (JIVROSG) showed the efficacy and safety of nonselective transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) with fine cisplatin powder (diamminedichloroplatinum; DDP-H) (65 mg/m2) and porous gelatin particles (DDP-H TACE) without lipiodol for extensive multifocal hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, there are no studies on this method following the JIVROSG study. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the efficacy of this new DDP-H TACE and its effect on liver function. We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of TACE-naïve patients with multifocal HCC (Child-Pugh class A, up-to-seven out, no prior history of systemic therapy) who underwent whole-liver DDP-H TACE between January 2006 and December 2019. Sixty patients were included in this study. The median age of the patients was 71 (range, 35-88) years. The median maximum size of tumors was 26 (range, 8-184) mm; 86.7% of patients met the up-to-11 criteria out. The overall survival duration was 30.3 months. At the time of initial evaluation (median, 45 days), the overall response rate was 65.0%; the disease control rate was 86.7% based on the modified response evaluation criteria in solid tumors guideline. Although nine patients' liver function had deteriorated to Child-Pugh class B at initial evaluation, six of them recovered to Child-Pugh class A. Only three patients (5%) showed permanently impaired liver function. Whole-liver DDP-H TACE without lipiodol or beads effectively reduced tumors and preserved liver function.
