Cleaner Processes for Making Laundry Soap from Vegetable Oils and an Essential Oil

Applied Sciences
This article demonstrates that the quality of laundry soap obtained by hot/cold saponification of two vegetable oils (olive and coconut) and an essential oil (such as Neem, Tea Tree or Thyme) influences the effects obtained after washing textiles ...

Understanding the Aqueous Self‐Assembly of Raw Sophorolipid Mixtures Using a Statistical Approach Applied to Synchrotron Small Angle X‐Ray Scattering (SAXS): A Focus on pH, Dilution, Aging, and the Underestimated Role of Residual Fatty Acids

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, EarlyView.
The statistical analysis of SAXS modelling data allows to identify the critical physicochemical parameters that have an impact on the phase behavior of crude sophorolipid batches. ABSTRACT The aqueous self‐assembly of raw sophorolipid mixtures has been studied by small angle x‐ray scattering (SAXS) to understand the impact of the composition ...

Optimization of Saponification Process for Quantification of Individual and Total Tocopherols and Phytosterols in Canola Oil Refining By‐Products

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this study, saponification variables were optimized using a face‐centred central composite design‐response surface methodology. The variables included reaction temperature (50°C–120°C), reaction time (30–180 min), KOH concentration (0.5–3 M) and pyrogallol concentration (0–1% w/v).

Seasonal Fluctuations of Plastochromanol‐8 and α‐Tocopherol Amounts in the Leaves of Cecropia Trees

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plastochromanol‐8 (PC‐8) is a homologue of γ‐tocotrienol with a longer side chain (eight instead of three isoprene units) and therefore also a representative of the tocochromanol (vitamin E) group. PC‐8 has been determined in various plants and seeds, with Cecropia sp. leaves showing unusually high levels.

Investigation of Bacterial Contamination of Liquid Soaps Used in Public Restroom

Korean Journal of Clinical Laboratory Science, 2020
Handwashing with soap is an important practice to reduce the transmission of potentially pathogenic microorganisms, but liquid soaps with refillable dispensers are prone to extrinsic bacterial con-tamination.

Beyond salaries: Teachers' experiences of navigating early years education amid economic instability in Türkiye

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract The intersection of economic conditions and early years education has long been debated, particularly where financial constraints shape educational practice and professional realities. Türkiye, characterised by high inflation and structural vulnerabilities in purchasing power parity, provides a critical context for examining how economic ...

The Influence of Aesthetic Liking on Product Evaluation: How and When It Differs With Brand Strength and Product Type

Journal of Consumer Behaviour, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This research provides comprehensive insight into the influence of aesthetic liking on product preference across different types of durable product categories by uncovering the underlying process. Distinguishing a direct expressive influence of aesthetic liking and an indirect influence as a quality signal, referring to signaling theory, we ...

Oxidative Fast Pyrolysis Enabling Autothermal Production of Porous Functionalized Biochar and Anhydrosugar/Phenol‐Rich Bio‐Oil From Biomass

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
Oxidative fast pyrolysis of biomass enables autothermal production of value‐added products. ABSTRACT Oxidative fast pyrolysis can potentially overcome the heat‐supply bottleneck of conventional fast pyrolysis by enabling autothermal operation while also tailoring product quality through controlled oxygen addition.

Geometry‐Based Neural‐Network Prediction of Electron Localization Function Topology in Dense Hydrogen

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
We present a machine‐learning framework that predicts the electron localization function (ELF) of dense hydrogen directly from atomic geometry, bypassing explicit electronic‐structure calculations. Trained on ab initio data for fluid hydrogen across multiple pressures, the model achieves high accuracy and reveals pressure‐dependent nonlocal ...
