Refining Process And Quality Control Of Sunflower Oil, Etrit Beshtica, Luljeta Ajdini, Mentor Arifi, Lenda Ramadani, Donjeta Halimi 2020 Fluidi sh.p.k, Gjilan

Refining Process And Quality Control Of Sunflower Oil, Etrit Beshtica, Luljeta Ajdini, Mentor Arifi, Lenda Ramadani, Donjeta Halimi

UBT International Conference

The quality control of edible sunflower oil is monitored through several stages, from unrefined oil, during the whole refining process as well as the bottled oil. Initially is checked the unrefined oil by means of analyzing its origin, enabling us to understand what the origin of the oil is. Subsequently are checked the compounds that need to be removed from the sunflower oil in the refining process. We also pay special attention to the preservation of some compounds present in the unrefined oil. The methodologies applied for oil quality control are physical- chemical and microbiological methods.

Analysis And Characterization Of Anthocyanins In Raspberry Fruits (Rubus Idaeus L.), Hyrie Koraqi, Flutura C. Ajazi

UBT International Conference

This study focuses on the analysis and characterization of anthocyanins from Raspberry fruit (Rubus idaeus L.). The fresh Raspberry fruits were extracted with the solvent of EtOH 96% /0.1% HC l (1:1, ratio) at room temperature for 4 h in the dark. The extraction process was the important step in the isolation and identification of anthocyanins. For this purpose, anthocyanin contents in Raspberry fruits were determined with UV-Vis Spectroscopy. The results showed that the total anthocyanin content (expressed as cyanidin-3-glucoside) in the extract was 277.2 mg/L, which is equivalent to 9.33 mg total anthocyanin per gram of dry material.

Tanzania Journal of Science

Mesoporous thiol modified silicas have been prepared using castor oil as a templating agent. The preparation was done through a co-condensation of 3-mercaptopropyltriethoxysilane and tetraethylorthosilicate in a 1:4 molar ratio. Physisorption studies showed that the prepared mesoporous silicas have an average pore diameter of 9 nm, pore volume of 1.0336 cm3/g and surface areas of up to 605 m2/g. FTIR confirmed the attachment of thiol groups on the surface of the prepared mesoporous silica as evidenced with an absorption band at around 2600 cm–1.
