Grapes are the third most produced fruit in the world, owing to their taste and use as raw materials for winemaking. Due to this fact, large volumes of waste biomass are generated as a result of grape juice and wine production, mainly grape seeds (GS...

Due to their unique physical properties, microbubbles have received a lot of attention in waste treatment, aquaculture, and food processing. The demand for high-efficient and low power consumption microbubble generators has become a challenge today....

Supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) is a non-conventional extraction technique that can be used in the food industry because it can recover both polar and non-polar compounds. This technique is carried out above the critical point of the extraction...

Per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are recalcitrant chemicals with stable carbon–fluorine (C–F) bonds. These complex substances are difficult to degrade; therefore, they persist in the environment, causing potential health effec...

Lignocellulosic biomass is a powerful material for producing sustainable biofuels because it can be converted into second-generation clean energy capable of coping with the depletion of fossil reserves and rising energy demands. However, pretreatment...

This study aimed to develop a Halloumi cheese using cow’s milk and fortify it with garlic and pepper to evaluate its physicochemical, microbiological, and sensory properties. The developed Halloumi cheese showed a significant increase (p < 0...

In this study, an artificial neural network (ANN) and an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) were used to predict the adsorption potential of an adsorbent for the removal of chromium (VI) from an aqueous solution. Four operational variables...

The steam generator is an important piece of energy exchange equipment for nuclear power plants, and the level control of the steam generator plays a key role in the stable operation of the plants. To improve the level control performance of the stea...

Members of many species of the genus Gordonia are known for their ability to utilize compounds of different structures. The aim of the work was to study the ability of nine G. alkanivorans strains to degrade persistent organic pollutants and to analy...

Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is a naturally occurring compound that arises because of the thermal processing and storage of honey. The Codex Alimentarius Commission has established a threshold of 40 ppm as the upper limit for the HMF content in honey....
