The gel transition of depletion flocculated oil-in-water emulsions is analyzed as a function of the strength of the droplet–droplet interaction. The critical volume fraction for gelation has been found to decrease exponentially ...

Paramylon, a high molecular weight polysaccharide, is a linear and unbranched (1→3)-β-D-glucan. Despite itsnumerous biological benefits, the poor aqueous solubility of crystalline paramylon is a drawback that hashampered ...

Food industries contribute significantly to the pollution of water streams. Oil in wasterwaters must be removed to prevent fouling of process equipment, to reduce interference with subsequent water-treatment units, and to ...

This work proposes the synthesis, characterization and investigation of the stabilization capabilities of chitosan doped with magnetic nanoparticles. Nanoparticles of Fe, Co, Co(II,III) oxide, Ni and Ni/Ag mixture in ...
