ABSTRACTThe objective of this work was to develop a more representative mathematical formulation of the alteration kinetics of the borosilicate SON68 glass by combining three approaches: (1) Compare extensive prior experimental static leaching results for SON68 glass with the first-order kinetic law in which silica is the predominant element, (2) Assess the exact role of dissolved silica on the alteration rate under conditions near and far from saturation, by means of dynamic leach tests and, (3) Compare the new data with the general kinetic law for silicates in which the reaction affinity, catalysis and inhibition are the three influencing factors.

Abstract Jiangpo is an increasingly popular East Asian spice which is made from Mangnolia officinalis bark and ginger juice. Since it induces bioactive compounds decomposition and has influence on final flavor and fragrance, cooking is regarded as the key operation in preparation of Jiangpo. To evaluate the bioactive compounds content changes of Jiangpo during thermal processing, kinetic parameters including reaction order, rate constant, T1/2 and activation energy of bioactive markers namely honokiol, magnolol and curcumin were determined. Cooking was set at temperatures 60, 90 and 120 °C for selected time intervals. Results displayed the thermal kinetic characteristics of the three compounds. Thermal degradation of Honokiol and magnolol both followed first order kinetic model and the loss of curcumin fitted second order. A mathematical model based on the obtained kinetic parameters has also been developed to predict the degradation of honokiol, magnolol and curcumin in non-isothermal state. All the information in this paper could contribute necessary information for optimizing the existing heat processing of Jiangpo.

The fate of exogenous ganglioside GM1 labelled in the sphingosine moiety, [Sph-3H]GM1, administered as a pulse, in the isolated perfused rat liver was investigated. When a non-recirculating protocol was employed, the amount of radioactivity in the liver and perfusates was found to be dependent on the presence of BSA in the perfusion liquid and on the time elapsed after the administration of the ganglioside. When BSA was added to the perfusion liquid, less radioactivity was found in the liver and more in the perfusate at each time tested, for up to 1 h. The recovery of radioactivity in the perfusates followed a complex course which can be described by three pseudo-first-order kinetic constants. The constants, in order of decreasing velocity, are interpreted as: (a) the dilution of the labelled GM1 by the constant influx of perfusion liquid; (b) the washing off of GM1 loosely bound to the surface of liver cells; (c) the release of gangliosides from the liver. Process (b) was found to be faster in the presence of BSA, probably owing to the ability of BSA to bind gangliosides. The [Sph-3H]GM1 in the liver underwent metabolism, leading to the appearance of products of anabolic (GD1a, GD1b) and catabolic (GM2, GM3) origin; GD1a appeared before GM2 and GM3 but, at times longer than 10 min, GM2 and GM3 showed more radioactivity than GD1a. At a given time the distribution of the radioactivity in the perfusates was quite different from that of the liver. In fact, after 60 min GD1a was the only metabolite present in any amount, the other being GM3, the quantity of which was small. This indicates that the liver is able to release newly synthesized gangliosides quite specifically. When a recirculating protocol was used, there were more catabolites and less GD1a than with the non-recirculating protocol. A possible regulatory role of ganglioside re-internalization on their own metabolism in the liver is postulated.

Abstract The finding that hexenuronic acid (HexA) groups can be selectively removed from kraft pulps by acid hydrolysis has provided an opportunity to reduce bleaching chemicals. However, there is evidence that the acid hydrolysis is not uniform. In this report, we evaluate the kinetics of acid hydrolysis of HexA in a xylan sample enriched with HexA, a conventional kraft pulp, and three modified kraft pulps: anthraquinone pulp (Kraft-AQ), polysulfide pulp (PS), and polysulfide-anthraquinone pulp (PS-AQ). We found that HexA present in the xylan and conventional kraft pulp behaved similarly toward the acid hydrolysis throughout. On the other hand, HexA present in the Kraft-AQ, PS-AQ and PS pulps was heterogeneous toward acid hydrolysis and the reaction can be separated into two pseudo-first-order kinetic phases, each of which has a different rate constant. The kinetic data provide evidence for the formation of lignin-HexA-xylan complexes during modified kraft pulping processes.

Emerging from the energy crisis of 2008 in South Africa, climate change concerns and the global desire to reduce high ozone-depleting emissions, renewable energy sources like biogas are gaining wide acceptance in most localities for heating and electricity. The paucity of feedstock varieties is a major challenge plaguing the sustainability of this sector. Biomethane potential, biodegradability and degradation kinetics of organic substrates are essential for assessing the suitability of feedstocks for methane generation and the overall performance of the anaerobic digestion process in biogas plants. Waste from the vegetable okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) is a novel substrate; its biodegradability and degradation dynamics in biomethane production are largely unstudied, and were therefore the aims of this research. The substrate was digested for 25 days at the mesophilic condition and the biomethane potential data were recorded. Measured data of methane yield and the elemental composition of the substrate were used to fit five models (modified Gompertz, Stannard, transference function, logistic and first-order models) to predict degradation parameters and determine biodegradability of the substrate, respectively. Low lag phase (0.143 d), positive kinetic constant (0.2994/d) and the model fitness indicator ( less than 10) showed that transference and first-order kinetic models predicted the methane yield better than did other growth functions. The experimental methane yield was 270.98 mL/gVS, theoretical methane yields were 444.48 mL/gVS and 342.06 mL/gVS and model simulation ranged from 267.5 mL/gVS to 270.89 mL/gVS. With a prediction difference of 0.03–1.28%, all growth functions acceptably predicted the kinetics of A. esculentus waste. The findings of this study offer information on this novel substrate important for its use in large-scale biogas production.

The inhibition kinetics of glutathione (GSH) and quercetin on Acrylamide (AA) formation in the low-moisture Maillard systems were investigated at 180 °C. The inhibition rates in an equal-molar asparagine/glucose (Asn/Glc) system was higher than those in asparagine/fructose (Asn/Fru) system, and the maximum inhibition rates for AA were 57.75% with GSH of 10 -2 mol L -1 and 51.38% with quercetin of 10 -1 mol L -1 . The Logistic-Index dynamic model and simplified two consecutive first-order kinetic models were well fitted to the changes of AA in the Asn/Glc system. The kinetics results suggested the predominant inhibition effect of GSH on AA could be attributed to the competitive reaction between GSH and Asn for the consumption of Glc. The kinetic results and HPLC-MS/MS analysis of quercetin inhibiting AA indicated that quercetin might mitigate AA through the binding reaction of quercetin decomposition product and Maillard intermediate product. These experimental results can provide theoretical data to control the formation of AA during food thermal processing.

Degradation Of Azo Dye

The kinetics of the oxidative degradation of an azo dye Metanil Yellow (MY) was investigated in aqueous solution using dirhodium(II) caprolactamate, Rh2(cap)4, as a catalyst in the presence of H2O2 as oxidizing agent. The reaction process was followed by UV/Vis spectrophotometer. The decolorization and degradation kinetics were investigated and both followed a pseudo-first-order kinetic with respect to the [MY]. The effects of various parameters such as H2O2 and dye concentrations, the amount of catalyst and temperature have been studied. The studies show that Rh2(cap)4 is a very effective catalyst for the formation of hydroxyl radicals HO• which oxidized and degraded about 92% of MY into CO2 and H2O after 24 h as measured by total carbon analyzer.

The aim of this study was to verify the effect of the formulation on the release kinetics of active substances from preparations containing iron ions using in-line conductivity measurements. A simple, fast method was developed and may be applied for detailed evaluation of some kinetics factors obtained from the release data. Four different equations were used: zero-order equation, first-order equation, models: Korsmeyer–Peppas and Hixson–Crowell. Values of the determined half-time release for zero and first-order kinetic models ranged from 11.56 to 89.97 min. In the case of analysis according to these typical models, the values of the square root of the correlation coefficients were included between 0.9916 and 0.9995. The results transformed for the Hixson–Crowell model as constant release Ks, ranged between 0.0160 and 0.0437. The values of the respective calculated squares of the correlation coefficient ranged from 0.9933 to 0.9959. The determined release rate constants according to the Korsmeyer–Peppas model were between 0.0023 and 0.1630. The coefficients ‘n’ of the Korsmeyer–Peppas equation did not exceed 1.2 with the corresponding r2 values 0.9408–0.9960. Obtained results confirmed that the method is applicable for evaluation of selected drug compositions containing iron ions.

The problem of availability of veterinary medicines to treat honeybees is discussed extensively worldwide. An uncontrolled administration of antibiotics may lead to contamination of beehive products and contributes to the problem of food safety. In this study, the kinetics of tetracycline (TC) degradation in honey was studied for samples provided by four sideline beekeepers located in the west region of Romania. The samples of honey were stored in the dark at room temperature for 30 days and subsamples were analyzed every 3 days by Elisa method. The results of the study revealed that the level of tetracycline decreases in time for all honey samples. The tetracycline degradation follows a first-order kinetic model with reaction rate constants between 1.2?10-3 - 2?10-3 days-1. The half-life time of tetracycline in monofloral honeys: acacia and lime was 251 and 232 days respectively. Tetracycline degradation in polyfloral honey was accelerated since ?1/2 of TC was 151 days.
