Palm oil hydrolysis catalyzed by lipases under ultrasound irradiation--the use of experimental design as a tool for variables evaluation

Diacylglycerol oil has been increasingly recognized by its good nutritional properties and therefore, different technologies have been developed for obtaining it. The present work focuses on the diacylglycerol production by hydrolysis reaction of the palm oil using the PS IM and TL IM commercial lipases as biocatalysts under ultrasound irradiation. An experimental design (central composite rotatable design - CCRD) adopting surface response was applied as a tool to evaluate the optimal reaction conditions beyond a restrict number of experiments. Reactions were performed in an ultrasound equipment and different variables were investigated, such as temperature (30-55 °C), enzyme content (1-2 wt.% of oil mass), mechanical stirring (300-700 rpm) and reaction time. Both, PS IM and TL IM enzymes showed the best results after 1 h and 30 min of reaction under 30 °C and, applying 300 rpm as stirring. On these conditions, the diacylglycerol yield was around 34% and 39%, respectively; considering that 1% PS IM was applied for the first one and, 2% TL IM for the second one. Therefore, it was obtained good yield of a diacylglycerol-rich oil in shorter reaction times under sonication and soft conditions. The mathematic model proposed suggested a satisfactorily representation of the process and good correlation among the experimental results and the theoretical values predicted by the model equation were achieved.

Spatial distributions of electron density in microplasmas produced by laser ablation of solids

The spatial distribution of electron density in argon microplasmas produced by laser ablation of solids has been investigated by time-resolved emission spectroscopy. The electron density was derived from Stark broadening and shift of spectral lines. It was found that the radial gradient of the electron density is much smaller than the gradient of the atomic number density of atoms ablated by the laser into the plasma. The almost homogeneous plasma conditions in the centre of the microplasmas are essential for quantitative element analysis of solid samples by laser ablation. On the other hand, because of the homogeneous conditions microplasmas are excellent sources for measurements of reliable Stark broadening and shift parameters of atomic and ionic spectral lines of all elements which can be ablated by lasers from solid samples.     

Non-thermal pasteurization of lipid emulsions by combined supercritical carbon dioxide and high-power ultrasound treatment

Supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO₂) is a novel method for food pasteurization, but there is still room for improvement in terms of the process shortening and its use in products with high oil content. This study addressed the effect of high power ultrasound (HPU) on the intensification of the SC-CO₂ inactivation of E. coli and B. diminuta in soybean oil-in-water emulsions. Inactivation kinetics were obtained at different pressures (100 and 350 bar), temperatures (35 and 50 °C) and oil contents (0, 10, 20 and 30%) and were satisfactorily described using the Weibull model. The experimental results showed that for SC-CO₂ treatments, the higher the pressure or the temperature, the higher the level of inactivation. Ultrasound greatly intensified the inactivation capacity of SC-CO₂, shortening the process time by approximately 1 order of magnitude (from 50 to 90 min to 5–10 min depending on the microorganism and process conditions). Pressure and temperature also had a significant (p < 0.05) effect on SC-CO₂ + HPU inactivation for both bacteria, although the effect was less intense than in the SC-CO₂ treatments. E. coli was found to be more resistant than B. diminuta in SC-CO₂ treatments, while no differences were found when HPU was applied. HPU decreased the protective effect of oil in the inactivation and similar microbial reductions were obtained regardless of the oil content in the emulsion. Therefore, HPU intensification of SC-CO₂ treatments is a promising alternative to the thermal pasteurization of lipid emulsions with heat sensitive compounds.     

Towards a nonperturbative foundation of the dipole picture: II. High energy limit

This is the second of two papers in which we study real and virtual photon-proton scattering in a nonperturbative framework. In the first paper we have identified the leading contributions to this process at high energies and have derived expressions for them which take into account the renormalisation of the photon-quark-antiquark vertex. In the present paper we investigate the approximations and assumptions that are necessary to obtain the dipole model of high energy scattering from the results derived in the first paper. We discuss the gauge invariance of different contributions to the scattering amplitude and point out some subtleties related to gauge invariance in the correct definition of a perturbative photon wave function. As a phenomenological consequence of the dipole picture we derive a bound on the ratio of the cross sections for longitudinally and transversely polarised photons. This bound is independent of any particular model for the dipole-proton cross section and allows one to test the validity of the assumptions leading to the dipole picture in particular at low photon virtualities. We conclude that the naive dipole model formula should be supplemented by two additional terms which can potentially become large at small photon virtualities.

Spatial distribution of ions incident on solid target as a function of instantaneous energy

Integro-differential equations are derived which govern the spatial distribution of ions of energy E' moving in a solid target after the ions were incident on the target surface with energy E. These equations are specialized to integral equations which govern the first and second spatial moments of the distribution. Solutions to the moments equations are obtained to second order for an expansion of the integrands in powers of T, the energy transfer in a single collision between an ion and an atom (or electron) of the target. Similar equations are also derived for the average range along path of the ions at energy E'.     

Theoretical investigations of pyridine derivatives as potential high energy density materials

Density function theory has been employed to study pyridine derivatives at the B3LYP/6‐31 G(d,p) and B3P86/6‐31 G(d,p) levels. The crystal structures were obtained by molecular mechanics methods. The heats of formation (HOFs) were predicted based on the isodesmic reactions. Detonation performance was evaluated by using the Kamlet–Jacobs equations based on the calculated densities and HOFs. The thermal stability of the title compounds was investigated by the bond dissociation energies and the energy gaps (ΔE_LUMO?HOMO) predicted. It is found that there are good linear relationships between detonation velocity, detonation pressure, and the number of nitro group. The simulation results reveal that molecule G performs similar to the famous explosive HMX and molecule D outperforms HMX. According to the quantitative standard of energetics and stability as high energy density materials, molecule D essentially satisfies this requirement. These results provide basic information for molecular design of novel high energetic density materials. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Extrinsic fluorescence as a sensitive method for studying photo-degradation of high density polyethylene correlated with mechanical stresses

A fluorescence probe, inserted in a solid polymeric matrix, is used to follow the first steps of photo-degradation by fluorescence spectroscopy. The competition between cross-linking and chain breaking during the degradation entail physical modifications in the macromolecular chains. These modifications usually followed by gel permeation spectroscopy can be studied by extrinsic florescence spectroscopy. Due to the high sensitivity of the fluorescent probe to the polymer matrix evolution, all the structural modifications can be investigated. In particular during the first photo-degradation steps, a correlation with activation energy necessary to the chain mobility is used to understand the sensibility of the fluorescent probe.     

Analyzing fragment production in mass-asymmetric reactions as a function of density dependent part of symmetry energy

We performed a theoretical investigation of different mass-asymmetric reactions to access the direct impact of the density-dependent part of symmetry energy on multifragmentation. The simulations are performed for a specific set of reactions having same system mass and N/Z content, using isospin-dependent quantum molecular dynamics model to estimate the quantitative dependence of fragment production on themass-asymmetry factor (τ) for various symmetry energy forms. The dynamics associated with different mass-asymmetric reactions is explored and the direct role of symmetry energy is checked. Also a comparison with the experimental data (asymmetric reaction) is presented for a different equation of states (symmetry energy forms).     

Fragmentation of gold flowers into nanopetals by high energy electron irradiation

Gold nanoflowers were obtained by reducing chloroauric acid with tri-sodium citrate at a temperature of 95 °C. The UV-vis spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy techniques were employed to monitor the growth of gold nanoflowers. The size and shape of the nanocrystallites of gold in the flowers were determined by X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy methods. The 3-dimensional gold nanoflowers got fragmented into 2-dimensional petal-like nanostructures upon irradiation with 6-MeV electrons. The average size of crystallites of gold after electron beam irradiation was found to be ∼10 nm.     

Activation energy of etching for CR-39 as a function of linear energy transfer of the incident particles

In this work, we have studied the effect of the radiation damage caused by the incident particles on the activation energy of etching for CR-39 samples. The damage produced by the incident particle is expressed in terms of the linear energy transfer (LET). CR-39 samples from American Acrylic were irradiated to three different LET particles. These are N (LET₂₀₀ = 20 KeV/μm) as a light particle, Fe (LET₂₀₀ = 110 KeV/μm) as a medium particle and fission fragments (ff) from a ²⁵²Cf source as heavy particles. In general the bulk etch rate was calculated using the weight difference method and the track etch rate was determined using the track geometry at various temperatures (50–90 °C) and concentrations (4–9 N) of the NaOH etchant. The average activation energy F_b related to the bulk etch rate v_b was calculated from ln v_b vs. l/T. The average activation energy E_t related to the track etch rate v_t was estimated from ln v_t vs. l/T. It is shown that activation energy of etching is a constant value for CR-39 detector where E_t was found to be independent on the damage produced by the incident particle.     

Estimation of hydroxyl free radicals produced by ultrasound in Fricke solution used as a chemical dosimeter

Hydroxyl free radicals produced in Fricke solution exposed to 80 kV X-rays or 23 kHz ultrasound (intensity 3 W cm⁻²) or 20 kHz ultrasound (intensity 18.9 W cm⁻²) or 3.5 MHz clinical ultrasound (intensity 1.47 W cm⁻²), as estimated from the Fricke dosimetric data, exhibited a linear dose-response relationship. The dosimeter was found to be effective in the concentration range 1.0–8.0 mM of FeSO₄ solution. The hydroxyl radicals produced in Fricke solution were inhibited by the OH radical scavengers dimethyl sulfoxide (200 mM), -histidine (10 mM) and sodium benzoate (10 mM) in a manner proportional to the rate constants of their reaction with the OH radicals. The power threshold for OH radical formation, which is presumably the threshold for cavity formation, was estimated for 23 kHz ultrasound by this dosimeter as 1.28 W cm⁻² for a 4 cm³ sample volume.     

Study on the emulsification and oxidative stability of ovalbumin-pectin-pumpkin seed oil emulsions using ovalbumin solution prepared by ultrasound

Pumpkin seed oil (PSO), which is a valuable compound with high nutritional value used for the prevention of various chronic diseases, is prone to oxidation. In this work, small and uniform (su) ovalbumin (OVA) and pectin (PEC) were used to stabilize PSO in the form of an emulsion. The results showed that suOVA-PEC-PSO emulsion with a droplet size of 9.82 ± 0.05 μm was successfully self-assembled from PSO, PEC, and suOVA solution (with a droplet size of 230.13 ± 14.10 nm) treated with 300 W ultrasound, owing to the formation of a more stable interfacial film on the surface of droplets. The interfacial, rheological, emulsifying, and antioxidant properties of the suOVA-PES-PSO emulsions were excellent, owing to the synergistic effects between PEC and suOVA solution. Moreover, the physical stability of the suOVA-PEC-PSO emulsions to salt stress, a freeze-thaw cycle, and heat treatment was also increased and the oxidation of linolenic acid was notably delayed. These results have extended the food-related applications of OVA and PSO, and provide a promising foundation for further exploration of the self-assembly of composite emulsions by small and uniform proteins.     

Lysis of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii by high-intensity focused ultrasound as a function of exposure time

Efficient lysis of microalgae for lipid extraction is an important concern when processing biofuels. Historically, ultrasound frequencies in the range of 10–40 kHz have been utilized for this task. However, greater efficiencies might be achievable if higher frequencies could be used. In our study, we evaluated the potential of using 1.1 MHz ultrasound to lyse microalgae for biofuel production while using Chlamydomonas reinhardtii as a model organism. The ultrasound was generated using a spherically focused transducer with a focal length of 6.34 cm and an active diameter of 6.36 cm driven by 20 cycle sine-wave tone bursts at a pulse repetition frequency of 2 kHz (3.6% duty cycle). The time-average acoustic power output was 26.2 W while the spatial-peak-pulse-average intensity (I_SPPA) for each tone burst was 41 kW/cm². The peak compressional and rarefactional pressures at the focus were 102 and 17 MPa, respectively. The exposure time was varied for the different cases in the experiments from 5 s to 9 min and cell lysis was assessed by quantifying the percentage of protein and chlorophyll release into the supernate as well as the lipid extractability. Free radical generation and lipid oxidation for the different ultrasound exposures were also determined. We found that there was a statistically significant increase in lipid extractability for all of the exposures compared to the control. The longer exposures also completely fragmented the cells releasing almost all of the protein and chlorophyll into the supernate. The cavitation activity did not significantly increase lipid oxidation while there was a minor trend of increased free radical production with increased ultrasound exposure.     

Kinetic component of the correlation energy density functional: a quantitative description from information theory

In the framework of information theory, a new method to determine T _c , the kinetic energy component of the correlation energy density functional for atoms, is presented. This approach is based on Shannon entropy and information energy that are obtained by fractional occupation probabilities of natural atomic orbitals. It is indicated that the calculated Shannon entropy using discrete probabilities is an increasing function while information energy is a decreasing function of the number of electrons. An expression is proposed with explicit dependence on the Shannon entropy or information energy and atomic number for the purpose. Applications of formulas for estimation of T _c values for neutral atoms up to Xe and their first positive and negative ions are then examined and validity of the proposed approach is numerically verified.

This method is proved efficient for sphere and spheroids as the scattering efficiency is smaller than one and as the material is optically either soft or hard.
