Postharvest Management to Preserve the Nutritional Quality of Vegetables: An Overview Based on Current Research Findings Across the Globe

Future Postharvest and Food, EarlyView.
Postharvest losses in vegetables extend beyond mere quantitative reduction through physical deterioration and spoilage; they encompass substantial qualitative degradation, particularly the deterioration of critical nutritional constituents. Following harvest, vegetables maintain metabolic activity, and when subjected to suboptimal environmental ...

Oxidation of Chlorinated Ethenes by Heat-Activated Persulfate:  Kinetics and Products

, 2016
In situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) and in situ thermal remediation (ISTR) are applicable to treatment of groundwater contaminated with chlorinated ethenes. ISCO with persulfate (S2O82-) requires activation, and this can be achieved with the heat from ISTR,

Salt‐induced nutritional and metabolic shifts in halophytes: implications for food security

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Plant species vary in their response to salinity: some crops show a degree of salt tolerance, while halophytes – whether wild or cultivated – are characterized by a high capacity to thrive under saline conditions. Halophytes are considered a source of valuable secondary metabolites with potential economic value, yet they might also produce ...

Competition for sorption and degradation of chlorinated ethenes in batch zero-valent iron systems

, 2004
The sorption and degradation of the chlorinated ethenes tetrachloroethene (PCE, 5 mg L-1) and trichloroethene (TCE, 10 mg L-1) were investigated in zero-valent iron systems (ZVI, 100 g L-1) in the presence of compounds common to contaminated groundwater ...

Impact of Monomer Purity on the Acid‐Catalyzed ROP of Sarcosine N‐Carboxyanhydrides: A Comparative Study of Phosgene‐Free Synthetic Routes toward High‐Molecular‐Weight Polysarcosine

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
A robust, phosgene‐free oxalyl chloride/silyl‐mediated route yields high‐purity sarcosine N‐carboxyanhydride (Sar‐NCA) by eliminating residual impurities that compromise polymerization control. This strategy enables well‐defined, acid‐catalyzed ring‐opening polymerization under ambient conditions, producing polysarcosine with Mn up to 186 kDa and ...

Reinforcement of Polyvinyl Chloride Using Plasma‐Activated Aramid Fibers and Surface‐Bonded Compatibilizer

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
Two‐step compatibiization of aramid fibers with PVC via Plasma Activation and surface reaction. ABSTRACT This study investigated the application of a two‐step compatibilization procedure to aramid fiber–polyvinyl chloride (PVC) composites. Aramid fibers were subjected to high radio frequency power air plasma treatment and incorporated into the PVC ...
