Complete genome sequence of the hydrogenotrophic, methanogenic archaeon Methanoculleus bourgensis strain MS2(T), Isolated from a sewage sludge digest…
2012
ABSTRACT Methanoculleus bourgensis , of the order Methanomicrobiales , is a dominant methanogenic archaeon in many biogas-producing reactor systems fed with renewable primary products. It is capable of synthesizing methane via the hydrogenotrophic pathway utilizing hydrogen and carbon dioxide or formate as the substrates. Here we report the complete and finished genome sequence of M. bourgensis strain MS2 T , isolated from a sewage sludge digester.

Transfer of volatile phenols at oak wood/wine interface in a model system
2006
Abstract In order to assess the influence of wood on the concentration of aroma compounds during ageing of wine, the transfer of volatile phenols including 4-ethylphenol, eugenol and a homologous series of guaiacols from wine to oak wood were studied in a model system at 10°C. At equilibrium most of the volatile phenols adsorbed in the wood. The results display that the amounts adsorbed depend on the nature of the volatile phenols and the botanical origin of oak wood.
Sustainability of food industry wastes: a microbial approach
2021
Abstract Agro-food industrial by-products signify a grave environmental problem. In addition to the conventional irrigation with wastewaters, the application of solids to the soil, and the extraction of worthwhile compounds for the pharmaceutical, cosmetics, and food industries, a microbiological strategy is also possible. In this review, the most promising microbiological methods for the valorization of wine and oil by-products are shown. Recently, there has been an upsurge in the exploitation of the waste materials generated by the wine and olive oil industries. Treatments by physical and chemical processes are generally costly, and they do not often provide entire solutions. Microbiologi…
Content Variation of Iron and Copper in Wine Obtained from Wine Vineyards Recas
2013
Abstract Wine grapes are brought to the center in baskets, plastic containers, wooden bene, or more modern like metal bene. From picking and transport can be transmitted to grapes, the iron or copper from all equipment on metal and after will be transmitted also to wines produced. It must therefore control of how was made the insulation of protective metal bene to avoid contact the metal with grapes. The aim of this work involves evaluating the content of iron and copper in wines and vineyards of Recas. The results indicated that the values determined by methods Photocolorimeters were within normal limits and revealed that the level of iron and copper in samples analyzed were not influenced…
Application of high Power ultrasounds during red wine vinification
2017
[EN] Wine colour is one of the main organoleptic characteristics influencing its quality. It is of special interest in red vinifications due to the economic resources that wineries have to invest for the extraction of the phenolic compounds responsible for wine colour, compounds that are mainly located inside the skin cell vacuoles, where the volatile compounds are also found. The transfer of phenolic compounds from grapes to must during vinification is closely related to the type of grapes and the winemaking technique. During traditional winemaking, grapes are crushed and skin macerated for several days, with pumps overs to facilitate the colour extraction. To increase this extraction, som…
Analysis of the filtration efficiency of white wines using different filter aids
2010
The global wine market, having recently entered into full crisis, is suffering some changes in its production and marketing. The reasons for these changes are mainly due to new trends in consumer demand for wine safety and quality standards at low cost. Social cellars, in order to be included in this new trend, should focus on the rationalization of the production techniques to reduce the costs and improve the quality of wine. In the case of winemaking for the production of a wine stored in a bag-in-box, filtration is a very important technique because it gives the finished product clearness and stability. The experimentation was based on the application of a low cost filtration technique o…
MULTIDISCIPLINARY STUDY FOR THE DATING AND THE RESTORATION OF THE SAN VITO WOODEN PULPIT OF MUSEO DIOCESANO OF PALERMO
2017
The aim of the present research is to investigate the execution techniques of San Vito wooden pulpit in the Museo Diocesano of Palermo and to provide helpful information to dating it in addition to technical, historical and artistic evaluations. In particular, this paper describes the application of analytical techniques (imaging diagnostics techniques, Scanning Electron Microscopy coupled with X-ray Energy Dispersive spectroscopy Scanning Electron Microscopy-Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy) to better understand the pulpit characteristics, both support and decoration, useful to plan and perform the correct restoration.
Improving methods in X-ray nanotomography of fibre bonds
2017
X-ray nanotomography has proven to be a useful yet challenging method in the study of cellulose fibre bonds. The challenges encountered in previous researches are related to lengthy imaging times and low success rate per sample. To counter these obstacles, fibre staining in order to enhance contrast in radiographic images and an alternative method for marker particle placement were examined in this study. Cesium iodide proved to be a suitable staining material, and the alternative method for particle placement may increase success rate by reducing microfibril structure fracturing during the marker placement process.
Influence of Elevated Pressure on the Torrefaction of Wood
2016
The use of pressurized reactors in industrial processes can improve efficiency and economics. Torrefaction is a partial pyrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass designed to result in a solid product with improved fuel properties for utilization in combustion and gasification. In this work, the influence of elevated pressure on the torrefaction of wood has been investigated. Wood samples were torrefied using a pressurized thermogravimetric reactor (PTGR) with pressures of 0.1 to 2.1 MPa. The results indicate that reactor pressure, particle size of feedstock, and wood species are all factors in torrefaction yield improvements. Torrefaction at 2.1 MPa pressure improved the higher heating value (ca…
