Cassava starch has poor paste stability during prolonged cooking. The starch was modified by heat moisture treatment. A premoistured starch (18–24% moisture) was subjected to heat treatment for 3–16h to bring about paste stability. Different types of heat treatments like moist pressure heating, dry heating and microwave heating was tried. The optimum heat treatment to bring about the paste stability was found to be 18–21% premoistured starch, which was heated at 110°C per 16h. The modified starch granules were intact and had comparatively increased sedimentation volume, oil binding capacity, amylase susceptibility, and decreaced crystallinity, water binding capacity, solubility and paste translucency. The freeze - thaw stability was excellent with modified cassava starch. “Pie filling and Halwa” (an Indian sweetmeat) made from modified cassava starch had good organoleptic properites. 相似文献
Photochemistry of Acylazides. VIII. Do Acylnitrenes React like 1,3-Dipoles? The formation of three- ore five-membered heterocyclic rings by the reaction of acylnitrenes with olefins depends on the electron density at the double bond. The generally expected formation of aziridines by a cheletropic reaction was observed by photolysis of aroylazides 1 in the presence of 2,5-dihydrofuran 2 . But with enolethers 3 and 4 oxazolines were directly formed. This [3 + 2] cycloaddition is regiospecific. The cycloaddition is modestly stereoselective by steric hindrance within the cyclic enolether 3b . Very small de-values were found with chiral substituents in the acylazide 13 . The azide decomposition was also achieved by photoinduced electron transfer. The same cycloaddition products as obtained by direct photolysis of the azides were obtained via radical anions of the acylazide. Using Michler's ketone as electron donor in the triplet state the formation of isocyanate which diminishes the yield of cycloadducts can be avoided. 相似文献
Obtaining strong interfacial interaction between filler and polymer matrix is very crucial for the fabrication of polymer nanocomposites with superior performance. Present study is aimed to fabricate high performance styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) nanocomposites with imidazolium type ionic liquid modified multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT). Ionic liquid facilitates the dispersion of MWCNT in rubber matrix and it is obvious from transmission electron microscopy images. Diffusion of toluene through SBR nanocomposite membranes has been investigated as a function of surface modified MWCNT (f-MWCNT) content to analyze the chain dynamics and filler-polymer interactions. O2 gas barrier effect of nanocomposites with special reference to the filler loading is explored. The substantial improvement in the barrier effect in presence of filler interpreted on the grounds of a theoretical model describing permeability of heterogeneous systems. Finally solvent sensing characteristics of prepared nanocomposites are also analyzed and it is observed that prepared nanocomposites can be used as a flexible solvent sensor. 相似文献
Photochemistry of Substituted Cycloheptatrienes. XV. About the Characterization of the Electronic Transitions in 1-Aryl-4-(p-dimethylaminophenyl)-cycloheptatrienes The absorption spectra of the title compounds are discussed in dependence on polarity of the solvent and its ability to form hydrogen bonds. The results suggest a hybridization of the N-atom of the dimethylamino group between sp3 and sp2 in the ground state. Contrary to this, the nitrogen has sp2-hybridization in the short wavelength (SE) fluorescing state. In a second fluorescence state the geometry of the seven-membered ring should change. Therefore the viscosity of the solvents influences both the position and the quantum yield of this long wavelength emission (LE). The influence of polarity and viscosity of the solvents is described by multiple regression. The temperature dependence of fluorescence quantum yields is discussed, as well. 相似文献
Oil migration in filled pralines is a phenomenon that is highly correlated with the occurrence of chocolate bloom. In this study the potential to suppress or prevent oil migration by incorporation of sterol/sterolster-structured organogels was evaluated. Different quantities, 2.5 or 14% (w/w), of gel with structurant levels of either 10 or 25% (w/w) were studied in a layered model system. The gel was either a part of the nougat or of the chocolate phase, or as a separate layer. Samples were monitored regularly for a period of 24 weeks at storage temperatures of 10, 18 and 28 °C. The amount of migrated oil was determined via DSC analysis of a surface sample. The results indicate that, despite the additional oil brought into the system via the oleogel, the level of oil found in the chocolate layer is reduced through the presence of the gel. In particular, the three-layer system and gelled chocolate appear to be promising routes to either suppress oil migration or improve nutritional profiles by incorporation of liquid oils. 相似文献
The composition of total fatty acids in serially transplanted mammary adenocarcinomas of C3H mice which were fed a fat free diet or a stock diet containing 4% fat for 8 weeks were significantly different, although fatty acid amounts were similar. The difference in composition was manifested in the triglyceride, phosphatidyl choline, and phosphatidyl enthanolamine fractions. Tumors of mice fed fat free diet has appreciable amounts of eicosatrienoic acid, whereas neoplasms of stock diet fed animals had none. In addition, higher levels of oleic acid and lower contents of linoleic acid were found in tumors from mice fed fat free diet than in those from mice fed the stock diet. Thus, mechanisms which maintained the triglyceride fatty acid composition in some tumors, such as 7288CTC hepatoma, were not observed in mouse mammary adenocarcinomas, and, therefore, were not a general phenomena associated with carcinogenesis. 相似文献
Summary Composites of carbon a nanotube with polymers are a developing and interesting area of research. The dispersion of the nanotube in polymer matrices is an important factor while making its nanocomposites. Even though in-situ polymerization approach offers a better approach for synthesizing homogeneous polymer nanotube composites, the dispersion of the nanotubes in the monomer solution is a problem. In this article we report a new chemical method for dispersing nanotubes in monomer and the preparation of uniform tubular composite of polyaniline (PANI) and multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWNT). For this the oxidized multiwalled nanotube (o-MWNT) was functionalized with p-phenylenediamine, which gave phenylamine functional groups on the surface. This functionalization helped to disperse the nanotubes in acidic solution. The in-situ polymerization of aniline in the presence of these well dispersed nanotubes gave a new tubular composite of carbon nanotube having an ordered uniform encapsulation of doped polyaniline. The phenylamine functional groups on the surface were grown into polyaniline chain so that the composite contains polyaniline functionalized CNT and they were no more an impurity in the final nanocomposite. The microscopic and structural properties of this composite were compared with that of a composite prepared under identical condition using o-MWNT. 相似文献
In this paper, Reduced Graphene Oxide (rGO)/ZnFe2O4 (rZnF) nanocomposite is synthesized by a simple hydrothermal method and employed as a counter electrode (CE) material for tri-iodide redox reactions in Dye sensitized solar cells (DSSC) to replace the traditional high cost platinum (Pt) CE. X-ray diffraction analysis and High resolution Transmission electron microscopy, clearly indicated the formation of rZnF nanocomposite and also amorphous rGO sheets were smoothly distributed on the surface of ZnFe2O4 (ZnF) nanostructure. The rZnF-50 CE shows excellent electro catalytic activity toward I3? reduction, which has simultaneously been confirmed by cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and Tafel polarization measurements. A DSSC developed by rZnF-50 CE (η?=?8.71%) obtained quite higher than the Pt (η?=?8.53%) based CE under the same condition. The superior performances of rZnF-50 CE due to addition of graphene in to Spinel (ZnF) nanostructure results in creation of highly active electrochemical sites, fast electron transport linkage between CE and electrolyte. Thus it’s a promising low cost CE material for DSSCs.
The electrochemical reduction of some N-acylamino-, N-amino-, N-benzyl- and N-phenacyl-substituted pyridinium and triazolium ions is investigated in acetonitrile by voltammetric methods and potentiostatic electrolyses. The acylaminopyridinium ions 1 and the arylaminopyridinium ions 3 are cathodically cleaved into the pyridine derivative and the carboxylic amide or the aromatic amine. In the case of the 1-benzyl-4-acylaminotriazolium ions 5 the reductive formation of hydrogen from the acidic N-acylamino group is preferred and the corresponding ylide is formed, which reacts at more negative potential by splitting off the benzyl group. The reduction of the N-phenacylpyridinium ion 7d occurs with splitting off the phenacyl radical, which dimerizes to 1,2-dibenzoylethane in a good yield. In the case of N-benzyl- and N-p-cyanobenzylpyridinium ions the cathodic dimerization to the corresponding bisdihydropyridines was found, whereas the electrolysis of the N-nitrobenzylpyridinium ions occurs with cleavage of the N-substituent-bond, which is initiated by the primary formation of the nitrophenyl anion radical. It follows from electrogenerated chemiluminescence experiments that the cleavage of the cations 1 and 5 occurs with the uptake of one electron. 相似文献
Cold plates, devices used for the thermal management of electronic equipment, consist of a fluid flow space that is bounded by metallic walls. The fluid passages are designed to optimize the heat extraction from the electronics. This paper deals with the fluid flow and heat transfer in cold plates in which both the fluid flow and heat transfer experience periodic variations in the streamwise direction. The motivation for the work was to devise a methodology for dealing with problems that are highly complex and also computationally demanding. The first goal of the work was to transform the combined problems of fluid flow and conjugate heat transfer into one in which the wall heat transfer can be solved separately. The decoupling was achieved by first focusing on the solution of the full conjugate heat transfer problem for a portion of the periodic array. From this solution, heat transfer coefficients were extracted and subsequently employed for the solution of the wall heat conduction problem for the entire cold plate. The second focus was the development of enhancements of the heat transfer performance of cold plates. Consideration was given to manufacturing as well as thermal and fluid flow issues. 相似文献
