Industry processing juice wastes such as bagasse, bagasse residues, animal feeding bagasse, pulp WEUE and CORE-wash were also analyzed. The HPLC analysis indicates that the most abundant flavonoids found in these Brazilian citrus peels are hesperidin and naringin. The solvents used are selective for flavonoid extraction, and depending on their polarity, glycoside or aglycone flavonoids are extracted. The use of multivariate analysis shows that DMSO is the best solvent to extract glycosides flavanones while hexane displays high selectivity in the extraction of polymethoxylated flavones. The flavonoids present in the orange wastes, obtained at different stages of the industrial processing, are qualitative and quantitatively different. The identification and quantification of the flavonoid composition in each Brazilian citrus variety were evaluated and allowed the selection of the best solvent for the extraction of each specific class of flavonoids. These compounds were found to be more abundant in the fruit peels than in their juices, revealing their great industrial potential. The residual portion of the processing juices is also rich in flavonoids, depending on the processing step.展开更多

The morphological and characteristics of the adsorbent were evaluated by infrared spectroscopy （IR）, scanning electron microscopy （SEM） and N2-adsorption techniques. The adsorption behavior of Cu^2＋, Pb^2＋ and Zn^2＋ on modified orange peel （SCOP） was studied by varying parameters like pH, initial concentration of metal ions. Equilibrium was well described by Langmuir equation with the maximum adsorption capacities for Cu^2＋, Pb^2＋ and Zn^2＋ of 70.73, 209.8 and 56.18 mg/g, respectively. Based on the results obtained in batch experiments, breakthrough profiles were examined using a column packed with SCOP for the separation of small concentration of Pb^2＋ from an excess of Zn^2＋ followed by elution tests. Ion exchange with Ca^2＋ neutralizing the carboxyl groups of the pectin was found to be the predominant mechanism.展开更多

The samples were microscopy （SEM）, pore size distribution and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy （FTIR）. Batch adsorption experiments were carried out to investigate the adsorption behavior of modified ACFs for methyl orange（MO） from its aqueous solutions. The results show that the adsorption isotherms of MO onto modified ACFs well follows the Langmuir isotherm equation. The adsorption kinetics of MO can be well described by the pseudo second-order kinetic model. The adsorption process involves the intra-particle diffusion, but is not the only rate-controlling step. Thermodynamic parameters including AG, AH and AS were calculated, suggesting that the adsorption of MO onto modified ACFs is a spontaneous, exothermic and physisorption process. FTIR result indicates that the major adsorption mechanism of modified ACFs for MO is hydrogen bond.展开更多

The results are as fol ows： 10 mg/L ABA increased glucose, fructose and total sugar concen-tration significantly or very significantly, ABA treatment of 50 mg/L increased sucrose concentration very significantly, but ABA treatment of 100 mg/L decreased glucose concentration very significantly. GA3 treatment of lower and middle concentrations（10, 50 and 250 mg/L） increased sucrose concentration very significantly, GA3 treatment of 10 mg/L had no remarkable effect on glucose and fructose concentration but in-creased total sugar concentration very significantly, GA3 treatment of 50, 250 and 500 mg/L decreased glucose, fructose and total sugar concentration very significant-ly. Therefore, ABA treatment of lower concentration could increase one or several kinds of sugar concentration, but GA3 treatment of higher concentration （250 and 500 mg/L） restrained sugar concentration in pulp of ‘Cara cara’ navel orange seri-ously.展开更多

Results were as follows. The optimal process of alcohol fermentation was as follows： original sugar degree of 16%, yeast inoculum size of 5% and p H value of 3.5 through single-factor experiment. The optimal fermentation process of acetic acid optimized by response surface methodology was as follows： inoculum size of 8.52%, original alcohol content of 6.0% and p H value of 3.3, in the optimal condition the yield of acetic acid was 53.11 g/L. Single factor action and the interaction of two factors were presented on the yield of acetic acid.The effects of inoculum size and p H were extremely significant, and that of original alcohol content significant. The interaction of inoculum size and original alcohol content was non-significant, that of inoculum size and p H also non-significant. On contrast, original alcohol content and p H had significant interaction.展开更多

This on-line method was equipped with a high-performance liquid chromatography tandem diode array detector, electrospray ionization-ion-trap time-of-flight mass spectrometry and DNA- acridine orange fluorescence detection （HPLC-DAD-MSn-DNA-AO-FLD）. A large amount of information could be simultaneously obtained during one run, which included HPLC fingerprint, ultraviolet spectra, total ion chromatograms, MSn data of high-resolution mass spectrometry and activity profile of each compound binding with DNA. The method also provided information on structureactivity relationships and mechanism of interaction. We used this on-line method to identify five DNA-binding activity components from Lithospermum erythrorhizon sample for the first time. The result showed that the parent nucleus of shikonin derivatives could bind with DNA. The structure-activity relationship showed that the parent nucleus of shikonin derivatives plays a major role in DNA binding, not the carboxyl group on the side chain. This simple, rapid, high precision and good stability on-line method should be useful for compound separation, structural identification and screening of DNA-binding compounds in herbal medicines.展开更多

Comparison of reductive degradation rate of methyl orange （MO） by zinc films and photocatalytic degradation rate of MO by zinc oxide films was carried out. Both reductive degradation and photocatalytic degradation process of MO by zinc and zinc oxide films can be described by first order kinetic model. It was found that although MO liquid was most quickly decolorized by metallic zinc films, the mineraliza- tion of MO was not thorough. Observation of extra ultraviolet absorption peaks indicated the formation of aromatic intermediates. On the other hand, although the photocatalytic degradation rate of MO liquid by ZnO films was only as about 1/4 large as the reductive degradation rate by zinc films, no signs of aromatic intermediates were found. Moreover, it was found that partially oxidized zinc oxide film showed higher photocatalytic efficiency than the totally oxidized ZnO films. Synergy effect between zinc and zinc oxide phase in the partially oxidized films was considered to be responsible for the higher photocatalytic efficiency.展开更多
