Formulation–composition map of a lecithin-based emulsion

Formulation–composition map is an interesting tool to predict the nature of an emulsion, stability, viscosity and nevertheless to decide the mixing protocol of its ingredients. Information based on optimum formulation (environmental conditions at which the affinity of an emulsifier for oil and for aqueous phase is same), which is depicted through hydrophilic–lipophilic deviation (HLD) concept, is necessary to make a formulation–composition map of an emulsion. In order to apply this concept in food emulsions, it is necessary to determine characteristic constants of each component of the system, i.e. the aqueous phase, the oil phase and the emulsifier at equilibrium. In this work formulation–composition map of a sunflower oil–water–lecithin system, based on the knowledge of phase behavior of lecithin at equilibrium and emulsification, was made. The shape of inversion line on formulation–composition map was not the classical stair type rather an almost vertical inversion line at water-fraction (f_w) near 0.20 was observed. It was supposed to be linked to the viscosity of oil phase which was 50 times the viscosity of aqueous phase. Additionally, emulsions were of oil-in-water (O/W) type for f_w higher than 0.20, but their viscosity and the drop size behavior with respect to salt concentration as formulation variable did not show the existence of transitional inversion line on formulation–composition map. Such map in advance can certainly facilitate the guidelines for dynamic emulsification.     

水汽对TiO_2上CO光催化氧化反应的影响

在室温、杀菌灯照射下 ,对“氧化的”TiO2 催化剂上CO光催化氧化反应进行了研究 ,发现当原料气中加入分压为 3.36kPa水汽时 ,光催化氧化CO的活性明显降低 .这可能是由于杀菌灯照射下TiO2 表面生成的O-(a) 或O(a) 与H2 O反应生成·OH ,降低了表面的O-(a) 和O(a) 的浓度 ,而生成的·OH不能使CO氧化 ,从而降低了氧化CO的能力     

Excess thermodynamic properties of the 2-propanol + dichloromethane system at 25°C

Densities, viscosities, enthalpies, vapor-liquid equilibria, and surface tensions were determined at 25°C for the 2-propanol+dichloromethane system. From the experimental results excess volumes, viscosities, enthalpies, Gibbs energies, and excess surface tensions were calculated. An attempt has been made to explain the observed deviations from ideal behavior on the basis of intermolecular interactions.

Development and validation of an analytical methodology for the determination of p,p′-DDT, p,p′-DDE and p,p′-DDD in fish oil pills

An analytical methodology was proposed and validated to be applied to the determination of p,p′-DDT and its metabolites p,p′-DDE and p,p′-DDD in fish oil. The analytical procedure presented in this paper involves a single-step clean up process prior to the analysis. A solution of 1,2,3,4-tetrachloronaphtalene was used as internal standard.The analytical technique used was gas chromatography coupled to an electron capture detector. Details on the validation process are provided.The limits of detection ranged from 2.6 to 4.7 pg μL^− 1. The BCR 598 standard reference material (cod liver oil) was used to evaluate the performance of the methodology with satisfactory recoveries for all the compounds.The analytes were determined in three different fish oil pills sold in Spain as a supplementary vitamin support. The sum of p,p′-DDT and metabolites was from 13.2 to 51.3 ng g^− 1, the dominant compound being p,p′-DDE.     

An electrothermal vaporization unit with axially focusing convection upstream. Part II: Modeling of the condensation process

A model is presented that describes quantitatively the condensation of analytes in pico- and nanogram masses sampled with electrothermal vaporization (ETV). It presumes that the analyte vapor condensation of such low amounts occurs mainly heterogeneously, predominantly on growing carbon particulates originating from the graphite furnace before the analyte vapor achieves saturation via cooling. The model regards the coagulation of carbon particles and the diffusion of analyte atoms. The criterion whether or not an analyte atom sticks to a colliding particle is chosen as a function depending on its temperature and on the common GFAAS pretreatment temperatures. Heterogeneous condensation of six analytes with different volatilities, Ag, Cu, Fe, Ni, Mn, and Pb, is calculated for the ETV unit with an axially focusing convection upstream described in Part I. Modifier effects are taken into account. The results are compared to measured data.     

Formation of Supramolecular Polymers Constructed by Cyclodextrins with Cinnamamide

-Cyclodextrin having cinnamamide at 6- or 3-positions (6-CiNH--CD, 3-CiNH--CD) and -cyclodextrin with cinnamamide on 6-position (6-CiNH--CD) have been prepared. Supramolecular structures were formed in the solid state or aqueous solutions and characterized by measurements of NMR and vapor pressure osmometry (VPO). The results indicate that 6-CiNH--CD formed insoluble supramolecular polymers in the solid state, while 6-CiNH--CD and 3-CiNH--CD formed supramolecular complexes in aqueous solutions. 6-CiNH--CD was found to form a dimer in an aqueous solution. 3-CiNH--CD formed intermolecular complexes to give supramolecular polymers. The differences of the position of guest part on cyclodextrins caused to give a variety of supramolecular structures in aqueous solutions.     

The application of the OTA of kerogen to the evaluation of the rockmass heating

Oxyreactive thermal analysis (OTA) carried out in the conditions of full access of oxygen to each reacting particle of the sample investigated is a suitable method for the determination of important properties of the organic matter dispersed in the rocks. Its results may be easily evaluated to the form of values to be used in a clear diversification and classification system of organic matter/kerogen, as well as to the evaluation of its transformation process in a rockmass. The OTA also enables the distinguishing of the transformation stages and the investigation of the results of the gaseous products liberation from organic matter and kerogen. The OTA method may be applied as a complementary one for the Rock Eval analysis and be used for the organic geochemical and bituminological studies for geological bitumen prospecting.This revised version was published online in November 2005 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Free energies of transfer of complexes of the type MCl2py4 between pyridine and other solvent media

Solubility isotherms are reported for the NiCl₂·4py, MnCl₂·4py, and MnCl₂·2py solid pyridinates in a number of pyridine+diluent mixtures at 25°C. Activity coefficients of the solvent components have been derived from the total vapor pressures measured by a static method. The standard free energies of transfer for the NiCl₂py₄ and MnCl₂py₄ complexes are the same, within the experimental error, in the pyridine+aprotic diluent mixtures, while marked differences are observed in the pyridine+chloroform mixtures. Marked deviations are observed for chloroform and 1,2-dichloroethane from a correlation between the standard free energy of transfer of the complexes, on one hand, and the Hildebrand's solubility parameter of the solvent, on the other, the latter correlation being roughly valid for aprotic solvents. The deviations are tentatively ascribed to hydrogen bond formation of the type H... between the protic solvents and the coordinated pyridine molecules, enhanced by the d electron delocalization.
