Characteristics of tiger nut milk: effects of milling

A standard method for the extraction of tiger nut milk has been introduced. It has been shown that, although milling duration improves the yield of tiger nut milk solids and its nutrient composition, there is a quantifiable loss of nutrient in the pressing residue during milk extraction. Milling duration improved the colloidal stability of the milk against creaming during 16 h of storage. A higher milling intensity resulted in the aggregation of biological polymers which resulted in colloidal destabilisation. Milling improved the lightness and stability and reduced browning rate of the tiger nut milk during storage. This report is important for the production of tiger nut milk of consistent and comparable characteristics. Milling has been introduced as a processing method for the qualitative and quantitative modulation of the properties of tiger nut milk. It is recommended to develop further strategies to improve the colloidal stability of tiger nut milk as a beverage.     

Use of TNSAC in phosphate adsorption studies and relationships. Isotherm relationships and utility in the field

There is a need for developing low cost, easily and abundantly available, yet efficient, adsorbents for the removal of phosphates during the tertiary treatment of wastewaters. The tamarind nut shell activated carbon (TNSAC) prepared on a laboratory scale has been used to evaluate its performance for phosphate adsorption. This paper describes the laboratory production of this adsorbent material in its various forms, and discusses the effects of the TNSAC process variables (the unrinsed and rinsed forms of the TNSAC and the impregnation ratio) on its performance in adsorbing phosphate. The material has been shown to be a good alternative adsorbent. As much as 95% phosphate removal by the unrinsed TNSAC is possible in about 30 min under the test conditions. The phosphate adsorbing capacity is about two times higher for the unrinsed TNSAC in comparison to the rinsed TNSAC. The adsorption rates, however, transit to extremely low rates towards the end when equilibrium conditions could be attained in about 2 h contact time. The phosphate removal mechanics are adsorption and precipitation/ion exchange when unrinsed TNSAC is used, and adsorption alone for the rinsed TNSAC. The maximum phosphate removal is found to take place at an impregnation ratio of 1.0 for both forms of the TNSAC.     

护坡工程空心螺母块立浇及安装施工技术研究与应用

空心螺母块因其外形简单,近年来在河湖生态护坡工程中被广泛应用。但护坡工程使用的空心螺母块数量较多,传统的平浇法预制,所需预制场地大且平整度要求高,螺母块运输安装费时费力、外观质量难以保证。文章针对护坡工程空心螺母块浇筑和安装的特点研究出一种操作简便、切实可行的连续立浇预制安装的施工方法,经过工程实际应用,有效保证了预制块的浇筑质量,提高了预制块的运输铺设效率,节约了预制场地的兴建面积。     

A study on cashew nut oil composition

Eight samples of cashew nut oil were assayed, and the component triacylglycerols, fatty acids and several unsaponifiable compounds were analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Total lipid amount, unsaponifiable percentage, fatty acids, sterols, triterpene alcohols and tocopherols are reported here. The combination of GC and HPLC enhanced the resolution of compound classes.

澳洲坚果青皮多酚提取工艺优化及其抗氧化活性

以新鲜澳洲坚果青皮为原料,研究了澳洲坚果青皮多酚的提取工艺及抗氧化活性。在单因素实验的基础上,通过4因素3水平的正交实验优化澳洲坚果青皮多酚提取工艺,并以Trolox为对照,研究其对DPPH自由基和ABTS+自由基的清除能力以及总抗氧化能力。正交实验结果表明:提取时间为90 min、料液比为1∶50（g/m L）、提取温度为50℃、乙醇体积分数为40%为最佳提取工艺条件,在此条件下澳洲坚果青皮多酚提取量达到（1027.47±10.76）mg/100 g。抗氧化实验结果表明:澳洲坚果青皮多酚对DPPH自由基和ABTS+自由基的半数清除率IC50分别为4.13、112.94 mg/L,且其总抗氧化能力约为Trolox的1.7倍。由此可知,澳洲坚果青皮多酚具有很强的抗氧化能力,可用于制备天然抗氧化剂。
