Optimization of Ultrahigh Pressure-Hot Air Drying of Chinese Yam Based on CRITIC Combined with Response Surface Methodology by Cong FU, Baoguo LI, Jun LI, Xiao WANG, Heng LU

“…Objective: The ultra-high pressure (UHP) pretreatment combined with hot air drying (HAD) process of Chinese yam (CY) was established and optimized in this study, in order to shorten the drying time of CY and improve its quality. Methods: The drying time, rehydration ratio (RR), color difference value, polysaccharide and total phenol content (TPC) were used as indicators to investigate the effects of different UHP pressure, holding time and drying temperature conditions on CY processing by single factor experiment, the weight coefficient of five indicators and the comprehensive score under different conditions were calculated by the CRITIC method, using the comprehensive score as the response value to optimize the processing technology of UHP pretreatment combined with HAD by response surface methodology. …”

STABILITY ANALYSIS OF THE SLOPE SUBJECTED TO THE DYNAMIC LOADING by Lesław ZABUSKI

“…Consequently, seismic vibrations will be generated in the subsoil, propagating mainly not only in the horizontal direction but also in the vertical direction. The method of seismic coefficient of the earthquake intensity determined by a pseudo-static method and horizontal component of acceleration is appropriate and recommended because it is simple, and the safety factor of the slope is calculated in the same way as in conventional stability calculations.…”

Pistachio hull extract as a natural antioxidant incorporated into pistachio paste: Antioxidant activity and oxidative stability by Hoda Farrokhi, Mohammad Hadi Eskandari, Ahmad Shakerardekani, Mohammad Taghi Golmakani, Mehrdad Niakousari

“…Pistachio hull (PH) and testa (TS), the primary pistachio wastes during production of paste, fresh kernel, and un-refined oil, were extracted for their valuable bioactive compounds using a mixture of ethanol and water (1:1, v/v) through conventional (CNE), ohmic heating-assisted (OHE), and atmospheric cold plasma-assisted (CAP) extraction methods. The total phenol content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), and antioxidant activity (AA) of the extracts were determined. …”
