microwave heating to prevent deterioration of cottonseed during storage

fuzzy cottonseed samples of 14.5 moisture and $less than$ 1.0 free fatty acids (ffa) contents were heated in a conventional, home-style microwave oven at 700w and 2450 mhz for intervals up to 2.0 min. the 2.0-min treatment reduced the moisture content to 13.1 examination of the seed immediately after microwave heating (mwh) indicated no d..

woody vegetation and riprap stability along the sacramento river mile 84.5-119

stability of vegetated and bare riprap revetments along a sacramento river reach during the flood of record was assessed revetment damages resulting from the flood were identified using records provided by the u.s. army corps of engineers and verified by contacts with local interests. vegetation on revetments along a 35.6-mile reach was m..

new scale-up method based on the effect of ventilation on aerated fermentation systems

a new scale-up method based on the effect of ventilation on aerated fermentation systems was developed. the volatilization rate constant (kv) of a volatile compound was proposed as an index for showing quantitatively the effect of ventilation on aerated fermentation systems. the kv value of a volatile compound, 2-octanol, an inhibitor of ..

**1**3c nmr study of the distribution of the substituents in carboxymethyl eithers of polysaccharides

**1**3c nmr in solution has been employed to make a comparative study of the distribution of the substituents in carboxymethyl ethers of amylose, dextran and cellulose. the resonance signals of the **1**3c nuclei in the spectra of the compounds studied is fully interpreted providing quantitative information on the position of the carboxym..

effects of mechanical processing and wet treatments on arsenic acid desiccant residues in cotton

arsenic acid, the principal chemical desiccant used to prepare cotton for harvesting by stripping, is applied to one to two million acres annually in texas and oklahoma. the fate of arsenic residues is of concern to textile processors. cottons containing arsenic were processed into yarn to determine the effects of mechanical processing on..

double-cropping interseeding system for wheat, soybeans, and cotton

double-cropping planting schemes and equipment have been developed and successfully tested for interseeding (intercropping) soybeans and cotton in standing wheat. the system accommodates annual controlled-traffic planting, fertilization, chemical application, and crop harvesting. a versatile toolbar design allows for mounting seeding comp..

analyses of vegetable oil triglyceride molecular species by reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography

triglyceride molecular species (tgms) of 10 vegetable oils (olive, soybean, sunflower, corn, cottonseed, pumpkin seed, peanut, safflower, canola and palm oil) were separated and analyzed quantitatively by gradient, reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography with a flame ionization detector (fid). identification of tgms was made..

study of the kinetics of the hydrogenation of cottonseed oil in a semi-batch slurry reactor

the kinetics of the hydrogenation of cottonseed oil at different operating conditions were investigated in a semi-batch slurry reactor. the experimental results were used in the proposed reaction mechanism model to calculate the reaction rate constants these specific rate constants were used for comparison in choosing the most selective s..

immobilization of ureolytic cells through flocculation and adhesion on cotton cloth using polyethyleneimine

ureolytic cells were immobilized on cotton cloth using polyethyleneimine. the cells when coated with polyethyeneimine were found to flocculate, and the flocs were found to adhere stably to cotton cloth. a contact time of 1 h was found to be necessary for cell binding, even though considerable binding was seen immediately after soaking the..

effluents quality along a multiple-stage wastewater reclamation system for agricultural reuse

a multiple stage wastewater reclamation system in northern israel is described and analyzed for effluents quality along its components. the reclamation system uses haifa's treated wastewater to irrigate cotton fields and other crops in the valley of jezreel during five years of operation it was found that each stage of the reclamation sys..
