Biodegradable moulded bodies based on natural plant or animal fibres comprise 99-50 wt.% fibres and 1-50 wt.% pretreated potato pulp. The particles of the potato pulp are comminuted to average particle size less than 350 microns during the pretreatment. The values in wt.% are based on amt...

High pressure homogenization is a unit operation that has been used in the food processing industry for more than 100 years. It was originally developed for decreasing the size of the fat globules in dairy milk, thereby creating a more homogeneous product and delay creaming [52,204]. Over the...
Most of the figures given above refer to the more traditional collections – namely skins, skeletal elements, shells and other hard parts, whole bodies preserved in alcohol, pinned insects, pressed or living plants, and related specimens. In recent years, a very important new kind of collections...
Furthermore, the application of 5 μg/ml ginseng-derived nanovesicles has been shown to counteract UVB-induced melanocyte senescence, characterized by flattening and enlargement of cell bodies with an increase in spindle-shaped cells [84]. The prevention of UV-induced aging holds tremendous potential...
(Nardi et al.2002). Interestingly, dissolved humic substances are common in freshwater bodies where they have been shown to interact with freshwater organisms, a topic reviewed by (Steinberg et al.2008). In soil, humic substances are reported to play key roles in various soil and plant ...
(PKS) encoding genes within theptaBGC consist of one loading module and seven extender modules, which are sequentially extended to form a linear polyketide chain by ketosynthase (KS) domain, acyltransferase (AT) domain, acyl carrier protein (ACP), with additional ketoreductase (KR), dehydratase ...
A wastewater treatment plant is a facility where wastewater from various sources is collected and treated before being discharged into water bodies. It plays a significant role in removing pollutants and contaminants from the wastewater to protect the environment. ...
plant bodies through an adventitious embryo by altering the concentration ratio of auxins and cytokines in the medium. However, these tissue culturing technologies are known to be affected by factors, such as the basal medium and carbon source used, plant hormone, type of salt, concentration or ...
