Fluorescence spectra and polarization spectra of vinegar-water solutions with different concentration of CH3COOH have been studied. The characteristics and mechanism of fluorescence spectra are discussed, and polarization degree is calculated. Vinegar-water solutions are excited by ultraviolet (UV) light at 380 nm. The characteristic fluorescence peaks of the solution were identified at 445 nm and 470 nm. The type of emission fluorescence isπ⁎→n. With the increasing concentration of CH3COOH/pH value, the peak intensity is enhanced first, and then fluorescence quenching occurs. The polarization degree confirms the molecular orientation of different sample solutions. This research provides theoretical and experimental basis for the physical/chemical properties and quality of vinegar detection by florescence spectroscopy.

The chemical properties are the most important factors in the aquatic environment. The present study was carried out to analyze the chemical properties of the water of the Kaptai lake, Rangamati. The investigation was done from December, 2007 to November, 2008, during four seasons in two sites and three sub-sites. The main aim of the present research was to analyze the water quality of the Kaptai lake. Chemical properties of the water of this lake were determined by different standard methods. The chemical properties of water varied in different sites and seasons. The value of pH and dissolved oxygen (DO) was higher in undisturbed (UD) area than in less disturbed (LD) and disturbed (D) area (UD>LD>D). The nitrate (NO3) value was higher in disturbed area than undisturbed and less disturbed area (D>UD>LD). The phosphate (PO4) value was higher in less disturbed area than disturbed and undisturbed area (LD>D>UD). The electrical conductivity (EC), biological oxygen demand (BOD) chemical oxygen demand (COD) were higher in disturbed area than less disturbed and undisturbed area (D>LD>UD). The potassium (K) value was LD>UD>D. The pH value was higher in winter (W) than in late monsoon (LM), early monsoon (EM) and monsoon (M) (W>LM>EM>M). The NO3 -1 value was EM>M>LM>W>EM. The PO4 -2 value was LM>M>W>EM. The EC value was W>LM>M>EM. The biological oxygen demand (BOD) value was EM> W>LM>M. The DO value was higher in monsoon than late monsoon, early monsoon, and winter (M>LM>EM>W). The COD was EM>M>W>LM. The K value was EM>W>M>LM. The highest value of pH, K, NO3 and BOD were recorded in the Kaptai hydroelectricity project area (site –A) and the highest value of the DO, EC and COD were recorded in the Longudu area (site-B). This study is the first initiative to assess the detail chemical properties of water of the Kaptai lake.Jahangirnagar University J. Biol. Sci. 6(2): 11-17, 2017 (December)

This study includes the investigation of the chemical properties such as pH value anda*-value, sensorial evaluations, residual nitrite and the oxidation level of Chinese-style sausagered sausage, which have been produced by both reducing the nitrite level ( 50mg/kg, 100mg/kg and 150mg/kg) and adding tomato powder ( 0%, 2% and 4%). According to the results, 100mg/kg of nitrite together with 2% tomato powder is better. Then the sausages produced with 100mg/kg nitrite and 2% tomato powder, along with sausage which produced with only 150mg/kg of nitrite are stored at 4 °C for 45 days. It was observed that addition of 2% of tomato powder increased degradation of nitrite and decreased the level of oxidation. This study provides a potential solution for nitrite substitute in meat products.

The physico-chemical parameters including pH and viscosity, and the fluorescence signal induced by fluorescent compounds presenting in yogurts such as riboflavin and porphyrin were measured during one week’s storage at room temperature when five brands of yogurt samples were exposed to ambient air. The fluorescence spectra of yogurt showed four evident emission peaks, 525 nm, 633 nm, 661 nm, and 672 nm. To quantitatively investigate the quality of yogurt during deteriorating, a calculating method of the average rate of change (ARC) was proposed to study the relative change of fluorescence intensity in the spectral range of 600 to 750 nm associated with porphyrin and chlorin compounds. During the storage, the time evolution of two ARC, pH value, and viscosity were regular. Moreover, the ARC showed a good linear relationship with pH value and viscosity of yogurt. Further, multiple linear regression (MLR) models using two ARC as independent variables were developed to verify the dependence of fluorescence signal with pH value and viscosity, which showed a good linear relationship with an R-square of more than 85% for each class of yogurt. The results demonstrate that fluorescence spectra have a great potential to predict the quality of yogurt.

The use of sodium propylene glycol for thick juice storage was investigated at Spreckels Sugar Company, in Brawley, California (USA). Sodium-polypropylene glycol has a density of 1.07 and does not mix with thick juice. Therefore it is suitable as a barrier layer. Chemical properties of propylene glycol, and the deposition on the top of thick juice are described. First results of the last campaign are compared with data from previous years. A significantly lower tendency in the reduction of the quality of the thick juice was found.

Blue light and ultra-violet (UV) light have been shown to influence plant growth, morphology, and quality. In this study, we investigated the effects of pre-harvest supplemental lighting using UV-A and blue (UV-A/Blue) light and red and blue (RB) light on growth and nutritional quality of lettuce grown hydroponically in two greenhouse experiments. The RB spectrum was applied pre-harvest for two days or nights, while the UV-A/Blue spectrum was applied pre-harvest for two or four days or nights. All pre-harvest supplemental lighting treatments had a same duration of 12 h with a photon flux density (PFD) of 171 μmol m−2 s−1. Results of both experiments showed that pre-harvest supplemental lighting using UV A/Blue or RB light can increase the growth and nutritional quality of lettuce grown hydroponically. The enhancement of lettuce growth and nutritional quality by the pre-harvest supplemental lighting was more effective under low daily light integral (DLI) compared to a high DLI and tended to be more effective when applied during the night, regardless of spectrum.

In 2016 4.94 million tonnes of tyres were produced. Each tyre eventually become waste and pyrolysis has been considered an effective way of utilizing scrap tyres for several decades. However, pyrolysis has failed many times because the process has a great energy demand and the quality of products is unstable or insufficient for commercial use. Usually plants are focused on the production of pyrolytic oil or char and the gaseous phase is only a by-product. In this paper the importance of composition and quality of pyrolytic gas is emphasized. The main chemical properties make this gas a valuable biofuel that may satisfy energy requirements of the whole process (except for the start-up phase). Available data from literature concerning composition and other features of the pyrolytic gas from scrap tyres obtained at temperatures up to 1000 °C are compared with experimental results. The quality of evolved gases is discussed in the context of the Industrial Emissions Directive (IED), too. Finally, an analysis of the mass balances obtained allows a decision about the business profile and profitability.
