Sourdough “ciabatta” bread enriched with powdered insects: Physicochemical, microbiological, and simulated intestinal digesta functional properties
2021
Abstract Powdered mealworm (MW) and buffalo worm (BW) larvae were used to functionalize sourdough Italian-style breads. Sourdough inoculum was started with Levilactobacillus brevis, Weissella cibaria and Leuconostoc citreum. The doughs were SBS (semolina plus powdered BW larvae and sourdough) and SMS (semolina plus powdered MW larvae and sourdough) whose pHs (4.32 and 4.21, respectively) were higher than that of control (3.81). The highest fermentation quotient (lactate/acetate molar ratio) was recorded in SMS (4.46). LAB reached viable counts of about 109 CFU g−1 in almost all doughs. Insects impacted bread VOCs with dodecanal, 2.4-dodecadienal and 2-octenal-2-butyl. SBS and SMS increased …
Formation of supramolecular aggregates by hydrogen bonding based on bispyrimidine and bisbarbituric acid
1997
Hydrogen bonds between bispyrimidine and bisbarbituric acid in equal molar ratio can lead to the formation of supramolecular aggregates. This is established by TEM, IR and DSC measurements. Additionally, WAXS pattern showed that the aggregate is of laminar structure. Both the hydrolysis of this system and termination of the aggregate's growth were studied.
Alcoholic nanolime dispersion obtained by the insolubilisation-precipitation method and its application for the deacidification of ancient paper
2017
Abstract Nanolime dispersions for the deacidification of ancient paper constitute a valid alternative to the lime traditional ones. Their efficacy depends on particles size, polydispersity and agglomeration that can be controlled depending on the preparation method. In this work, nanolime preparation by insolubilisation-precipitation method is reported. Nanoparticles dispersed in a water-isopropanol mixture were obtained without any manipulation of the dispersion. The stability of the dispersion together with particle size and morphology were found to be dependent on water to isopropanol molar ratio and on the synthesis temperature. One of the dispersion was applied on a manuscript to asses…
Spatial and seasonal changes of dissolved and particulate organic C in the North Sea
2009
Sampling of the central region of the North Sea was carried out to study the spatial and seasonal changes of dissolved and particulate organic C (DOC and POC, respectively). The surface waters were collected during four cruises over a year (Autumn 2004–Summer 2005). DOC and POC concentrations were measured using high temperature catalytic oxidation methods. The surface water concentrations of DOC and POC were spatially and temporally variable. There were significantly different concentrations of DOC and POC between the inshore and offshore waters in winter and summer only, with no clear trend in autumn and spring. Highest mean concentrations of DOC were measured in spring with lower and sim…
Total CO2output from Vulcano island (Aeolian Islands, Italy)
2012
[1] Total CO2 output from fumaroles, soil gas, bubbling gas discharges and water dissolved gases discharged from the island, was estimated for Vulcano island, Italy. The CO2 emission from fumaroles from the La Fossa summit crater was estimated from the SO2 crater output, while CO2 discharged through diffuse soil emission was quantified on the basis of 730 measurements of CO2 fluxes from the soil of the island, performed by using the accumulation chamber method. The results indicate an overall output of ≅500 t day−1 of CO2 from the island. The main contribution to the total CO2 output comes from the summit area of the La Fossa cone (453 t day−1), with 362 t day−1 from crater fumaroles and 91…
Orthometallation reaction in dirhodium(II) compounds. Selective formation of doubly-metallated compounds with head-to-head structure
1993
Abstract The reaction of the mono-metallated compound Rh 2 (O 2 CCH 3 ) 3 [(C 6 H 4 )P(CH 3 ) (C 6 H 5 )]·2(HO 2 CCH 3 ) with PPh 3 (1:1 molar ratio) has been studied by 31 P NMR spectroscopy. The reaction yields the doubly-metallated compound Rh 2 (O 2 CCH 3 ) 2 [(C 6 H 4 ) P(CH 3 )(C 6 H 5 )]p(C 6 H 4 )P(C 6 H 5 ) 2 ]·2(HO 2 CCH 3 ) with a head-to-head (H-H) configuration. An intermediate reaction compound, not previously observed, has been spectroscopically detected in solution. Analogous intermediate compounds have been detected using P( p -CH 3 C 6 H 4 ) 3 and P( p -ClC 6 H 4 ) 3 instead of triphenylphosphine.
Synthesis and characterization of new oxazoline-based palladacycles with bridging or terminal imidate ligands. Crystal structures of [{Pd(μ-dibromoma…
2008
Abstract The dinuclear hydroxo complex [{Pd(μ-OH)(Phox)}2] (I) (Phox = 2-(2-oxazolinyl)phenyl) reacts in a 1:2 molar ratio with several imidate ligands to yield new cyclometallated palladium complexes [{Pd(μ-NCO)(Phox)}2] containing asymmetric imidate –NCO– bridging units. [–NCO– = succinimidate (succ) (1), phtalimidate (phtal) (2), maleimidate (mal) (3), 2,3-dibromomaleimidate (2,3-diBrmal) (4) and glutarimidate (glut) (5)]. The reaction of these complexes with tertiary phosphines provides novel mononuclear N-bonded imidate derivatives of the general formula [Pd(imidate)(Phox)(PR3)] [R = Ph (a), 4-F–C6H4 (b) or CH2CH2CN (c)]. The new complexes were characterized by partial elemental analys…
Scaffolds based on hyaluronan crosslinked with a polyaminoacid: Novel candidates for tissue engineering application
2008
New porous scaffolds, with a suitable hydrolytic and enzymatic degradation, useful for tissue engineering applications have been obtained by a carbodiimide mediated reaction between hyaluronan (HA) and a synthetic polymer with a polyaminoacid structure such as α,β-polyaspartylhydrazide (PAHy). Scaffolds with a different molar ratio between PAHy repeating units and HA repeating units have been prepared and characterized from a chemical and physicochemical point of view. Tests of indirect and direct cytotoxicity, cell adhesion, and spreading on these biomaterials have been performed by using murine L929 fibroblasts. The new biomaterials showed a good cell compatibility and ability to allow ce…
[99mTc]Ca-Phytate: Some colloidal characteristics related to the optimal preparation conditions
1983
Abstract Some physico-chemical characteristics of the colloidal radiopharmaceutical [ 99 m Tc]Ca-phytate related to optimal preparation conditions have been studied. (1,2) It is demonstrated that the Ca 2+ -phytate stoichiometry is 6:1. Two different Ca-phytate colloids seem to be formed, mainly depending on the Ca 2+ :phytate molar ratio-one of low mycelar size for a 1:1 Ca 2+ :phytate molar ratio ( cmc ∗ = 5.10 −5 M ) , and another one, with a higher mycelar size for a 6:1 molar ratio (cmc = 8.10 −5 M). This last one it probably better for providing a good quality splenic uptake.
Variation of the BrO/SO2 molar ratio in the plume of Tungurahua volcano between 2007 and 2017 and its relationship to volcanic activity
2019
International audience; Recent long-term observations of the bromine monoxide (BrO) to sulphur dioxide (SO2) molar ratio in volcanic plumes have suggested a link between changes in the BrO/SO2 ratio and the volcanic activity. Nevertheless, understanding of the mechanisms determining this link is still limited due to the lack of studies on volcanic bromine release from the melt into the atmosphere. We present the results of 10 years (2007–2017) of observations of the BrO/SO2 molar ratio in the volcanic plume of Tungurahua volcano, Ecuador. Following the nearly continuous eruptive activity from 1999 to 2008, Tungurahua showed alternating phases of eruptive activity separated by periods of qui…
