EVALUATING THE USE OF VIBRATIONAL SPECTROSCOPY TO DETECT THE LEVEL OF ADULTERATION OF CRICKET POWDER IN PLANT FLOURS: THE EFFECT OF THE MATRIX

Evaluating the Use of Vibrational Spectroscopy to Detect the Level of Adulteration of Cricket Powder in Plant Flours: The Effect of the Matrix

Edible insects have been recognised as an alternative food or feed ingredient due to their protein value for both humans and domestic animals.The objective of this study was to evaluate the ability of both near- (NIR) and mid-infrared (MIR) spectroscopy to identify and quantify the level of adulteration of cricket powder added into two plant protei

Constraints on superoxide mediated formation of manganese oxides

Manganese (Mn) oxides are GABA 500 among the most reactive sorbents and oxidants within the environment, where they play a central role in the cycling of nutrients, metals, and carbon.Recent discoveries have identified superoxide (O2-) (both of biogenic and abiogenic origin) as an effective oxidant of Mn(II) leading to the formation of Mn oxides.He

Explanation of the mechanisms of unsteady gas flow through the turbocharger seal system, including thermal and structural interactions

Gas flow in the seal system can be expected during the operation of a turbocharger and is associated with negative effects on the quality of the lubricant or turbocharger efficiency.Gas flow also affects particulate matter production due to lubricant entrainment in the compressor or turbine.The prediction of gas flow rates depends on many design Fa
