Green and Quick Extraction of Stable Biophenol-Rich Red Extracts from Grape Processing Waste

2021

The extraction of grape processing waste (wine pomace) via microwave-hydrodiffusion and gravity (MHG) from three different cultivars grown in Sicily (Syrah, Perricone and Nero d’Avola) rapidly affords aqueous extracts highly concentrated in valued biophenols including flavonoids, anthocyanins and phenolic acids. The method does not employ organic solvent, acid or base and does not require grinding or freeze drying of the wine pomace nor separation of the grape skins from seeds and stem. All the extracts have a pronounced stability as shown by their red-violet color fully retained after storage for more than a year (15 months) in freezer under air. Concentrations of phenolics up to…

Le développement des médias sociaux. Proposition d'un modèle de diffusion intégrant les externalités de réseau dans un cadre concurrentiel

2011

International audience; La fréquentation des médias sociaux est très concentrée. L’intérêt de ce type de sites résidant dans la richesse du contenu élaboré par les participants, ce phénomène peut être en partie expliqué par les externalités de réseau. Afin de démontrer cet effet dans un cadre concurrentiel, cette recherche propose un modèle de diffusion intégrant le principe de l’attachement préférentiel issu des recherches en réseaux complexes. Ce modèle est analysé au travers d’une simulation et appliqué à 51 médias sociaux dans trois secteurs différents. Les résultats montrent que l’ajout de l’effet d’attraction menée par la taille relative du réseau social explique mieux la diffusion qu…

The Slow Adoption Rate of Software Robotics in Accounting and Payroll Services and the Role of Resistance to Change in Innovation-Decision Process

2022

Robotic process automation (RPA) has by now for years been viewed as a disruptive innovation that will have a significant impact on accounting, HR and payroll services, and yet the rate of adopting the innovation has not reached a level anticipated in past predictions. As several elements have a negative impact on the organization’s rate of adopting RPA, passive resistance to change has a significant impact in the form of constant dithering. Resistance to change can emerge at any stage of the Innovation-Decision process and fluctuate throughout the continued adoption, causing wasted investments, capabilities and resources. peerReviewed

Indexations et diffusions internationales de Synergies Algérie, revue du Gerflint : état des lieux en 2018

2018

Toute étude prenant pour objet la revue Synergies Algérie place auteurs, chercheurs et lecteurs dans l’un des centres les plus productifs de la francophonie scientifique internationale en sciences humaines et sociales. Le nombre élevé et la diversité de ses indexations depuis sa fondation en 2007 ainsi que la qualité de la diffusion de ses articles en témoignent. À la frontière éditoriale entre le 26e numéro et le 27e , cette contribution offre un bilan de ces reconnaissances et de cette visibilité désormais inscrites dans la durée, permettant d’envisager un avenir prometteur. La d&…

Current state and future perspectives of biochar applications in Finland

2018

Kiinnostus biohiiltä kohtaan lisääntyy jatkuvasti, sillä biohiili tarjoaa taloudellisia ja ympäristön kannalta kestäviä ratkaisuja. Biohiiltä on tutkittu Suomessa noin kymmenen vuotta, mutta vasta viime aikoina sen taloudellinen kannattavuus on tunnistettu. Aikaisemmat biohiileen liittyvät tutkimukset ovat keskittyneet lähinnä pyrolyysiprosessiin, biohiilen ominaisuuksiin sekä biohiilen potentiaalisten käyttökohteiden tutkimiseen. Biohiilen markkinatilannetta ei ole vielä Suomessa tutkittu, lukuun ottamatta biohiilen käyttöä energiantuotannossa (biohiilen poltto), mikä on kuitenkin rajattu tästä tutkimuksesta. Tämän työn tarkoitus on tutkia biohiilen käytön nykyistä tilannetta ja sen tuleva…

The binding of G-protein to rod outer segment phospholipids at the nitrogen–water interface

1989

In the visual process, one photoexcited rhodopsin (R*) catalyzes the activation of hundreds of G-proteins. It remains to be determined whether G-protein and R* find one another by membrane surface diffusion of these components (diffusion model) or by diffusion of G-protein through the aqueous phase (hopping model). A monolayer of each main rod outer segment (ROS) phospholipid interacting with a subphase containing G-protein, has been used to simulate the interaction of G-protein with the cytoplasmic surface of discal membranes. The possible diffusion of G-protein through the aqueous phase was then measured by observing its adsorption–desorption in the monolayer of each main ROS phospholipi…

Chapter 6 Contribution of NMR Spectroscopy to Flavour Release and Perception

2008

Abstract The control of flavouring of a food product as well as the flavour perception during consumption is a great challenge for improving food quality. However, the various ingredient composition and the different textural properties of foods can significantly affect the release of aroma compounds or sapid molecules. It is thus of major importance to determine physicochemical factors that govern diffusion and binding phenomena of these small solutes in food products. In this way, NMR spectroscopy is an efficient tool to characterize these mechanisms at a molecular scale. Diffusion rates of small solutes in aqueous, viscous and gel solutions can be extracted from relaxation or diffusion N…

Transport parameters for aroma compounds through i-carrageenan and sodium alginate-based edible films

2011

In an effort to produce more environmentally friendly materials, renewable and biodegradable biopolymers have been investigated as coating materials. Edible films obtained from i-carrageenan and sodium alginates have good mechanical characteristics, are emulsion stabilizers, and decrease oxygen transfer. The addition of lipids to form emulsified films decreases the water vapour transfer and could be used to encapsulate active substances or aroma compounds. The aim of this work was to measure permeability, sorption and diffusion coefficient of the n-hexanal and D-limonene aroma compounds through emulsified (wf) and non-emulsified (wof) i-carrageenan and sodium alginate-based films to finally…
