Optimization and kinetic modeling of oil extraction from white mustard (Sinapis alba L.) seeds
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2018)
White mustard seed oil (WMSO) was extracted from the ground seed by cold pressing and Soxhlet extraction using n-hexane. A two-step process consisting of cold pressing of white mustard seed (WMS) and extraction of WMSO ...
Kinetic modeling and optimization of biodiesel production from white mustard (Sinapis alba L.) seed oil by quicklime-catalyzed transesterification
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2018)
The biodiesel production from white mustard (Sinapis alba L.) seed oil (WMSO) by transesterification with methanol over the quicklime powder was investigated in a batch stirred reactor. Two independent first-order models ...
Analysis of oilseed rape stem weevil chemical control using a damage rating scale
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2017)
BACKGROUNDRape stem weevil (Ceutorhynchus napi Gyll.) and cabbage stem weevil (C. pallidactylus Marsh.) can cause significant yield losses to oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.), and chemical control is often needed to protect ...
Advantages of the Lab-on-a-Chip Method in the Determination of the Kunitz Trypsin Inhibitor in Soybean Varieties
(Amer Chemical Soc, Washington, 2010)
Qualitative and quantitative determination of the Kunitz trypsin inhibitor (KTI) in soybean experimental lines is very important in processes of selecting and breeding of new varieties. The total enzyme activity assay, ...
Identification and validation of breeder-friendly DNA markers for Pl(arg) gene in sunflower
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2014)
Downy mildew is a fungal disease of sunflower that can lead to severe yield losses. The damage caused by the pathogen can be controlled by growing resistant sunflower varieties. Gene Pl (arg) was introgressed into cultivated ...
Content of free amino groups during postharvest wheat and flour maturation in relation to gluten quality
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2014)
The objective of this study was to monitor the changes in the content of free amino groups during postharvest wheat and flour maturation. The content of free amino groups of wheat flour was analysed immediately after wheat ...
Biodiesel production from corn oil: A review
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2018)
This paper deals with biodiesel production from corn oil as a feedstock via the transesterification and esterification reactions. To date, corn oil has not been considered a viable biodiesel feedstock because of its high ...
Comparison of phenolic profiles and antioxidant properties of European Fagopyrum esculentum cultivars
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2015)
The purpose of this study was to investigate composition and content of phenolic compounds in seeds of common buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench) cultivars from Western, Central and Southeastern Europe grown in the ...
Isoflavone composition in F1 soybean progenies
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2011)
Twenty F1 soybean progenies were analyzed for isoflavone content in order to investigate whether this attribute can be translated from parents to the corresponding hybrids. Content of total isoflavones in analyzed samples ...
Heavy metals, organics and radioactivity in soil of western Serbia
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2010)
Western Serbia is a region well-known for potato production. Concentrations of selected metals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and radioactivity were measured in the soil in order to evaluate the quality and ...
