Functional foods with digestion-enhancing properties
International Journal of Food Sciences and Nutrition, 2011On analyzing the traditional societies' plant lore by treatment and plant categories, one cannot but notice the greater weight given to treatment of digestive disturbances and ailments compared to modern Western pharmacopoeias, and the blurred boundaries between medicines and foods, in contrast to the clear-cut distinction made in contemporary ...

Enhanced resistance of DNA nanostructures to enzymatic digestion
Chemical Communications, 2009The ability of nucleases to perform their catalytic functions depends on the sequence and structural features of target DNA substrates. Due to their size and shape, several DNA tetrahedra are resistant to the action of specific and non-specific nucleases.

Enhancement of methanogenic performance by gasification biochar on anaerobic digestion
Bioresource Technology, 2021This work evaluates the performance of different biochar-amended anaerobic digestion systems. The Fourier Transform Infrared analysis showed that more ordered aromatic groups formed and the aromatization degree increased with the rise of gasification temperature. The biochar produced at 900 °C still showed an excellent ability to maintain the stability

Analysing the mechanisms of sludge digestion enhanced by iron
Water Research, 2017Carbon-neutral operation of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) requires enhancing anaerobic digestion (AD) of excess sludge for a higher energy conversion efficiency. Among others, iron has been identified to function on enhancing methane production in AD.

Pretreatment of sugar cane bagasse for enhanced ruminal digestion
Applied Biochemistry and Biotechnology, 1996Crop residues, such as sugar cane bagasse (SCB), have been largely used for cattle feeding. However, the close association that exists among the three major plant cell-wall components, cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, limits the efficiency by which ruminants can degrade these materials.

Enhancement of anaerobic digestion by adding elemental sulfur
Bioresource TechnologyIn this study, a new approach to enhance methane (CH4) production from organic substrates in anaerobic digestion (AD) has been discovered. That is, the addition of elemental sulfur (S0) particles into the AD system promotes the synergistic growth of elemental sulfur disproportionation bacteria, acidogenic bacteria and methanogenic archaea, thus ...

Perspective on enhancing the anaerobic digestion of waste activated sludge
Journal of Hazardous Materials, 2020Anaerobic digestion (AD) of waste activated sludge (WAS) is an important bio-energy strategy that has been hindered by low conversion efficiency. This paper presents a comprehensive review of research on the sludge's property and enhancing AD of WAS, and proposes two perspectives of material structure and microbial activity on improving AD efficiency ...

Anaerobic co-digestion of shredded grass with sewage sludge was investigated under various temperature conditions. The conversion of grass to methane was difficult to achieve under mesophilic conditions, while its methane yield was 0.19 NL/g VS-grass under thermophilic conditions. The mixture ratio of grass to sludge affected the methane yield, and the

Enhanced anaerobic digestion of waste activated sludge digestion by the addition of zero valent iron
Water Research, 2014Anaerobic digestion is promising technology to recover energy from waste activated sludge. However, the sludge digestion is limited by its low efficiency of hydrolysis-acidification. Zero valent iron (ZVI) as a reducing material is expected to enhance anaerobic process including the hydrolysis-acidification process. Considering that, ZVI was added into

This paper describes an in vitro study that tests the proposition that actinidin from green kiwifruit influences the digestion of proteins in the small intestine. Different food proteins, from sources including soy, meat, milk, and cereals, were incubated in the presence or absence of green kiwifruit extract (containing actinidin) using a two-stage in ...
