Research on a Novel Heat Treatment Process for Boron Steel Used for Soil-Engaging Components of Tillage Machinery by Yifan Guo, Zeyu Sun, Shun Guo, Jiale Fu

“…The results demonstrated that a multiphase composite microstructure, predominantly consisting of martensite and ferrite, could be obtained in the 27MnCrB5 steel treated by the NIQT process. The results of an EBSD test indicated that the predominant type of grain boundary following the NIQT heat treatment was a high-angle grain boundary (approximately 59.5%), which was favorable for hindering crack propagation and improving the impact toughness of the material. …”

Minimally processed lettuces: extending shelf life through packaging and treatment with salicylic acid and sodium chloride solutions by Diana Melisa Chaves Morillo, Elizabeth Tobar Delgado, Luis Fernando Valencia Flórez, Laura Latorre Vásquez, Diego Trejo Escobar, Diego Fernando Mejía España

“…This last treatment also significantly influenced the color of the product, obtaining a lower browning index in the samples evaluated. Finally, the lettuce treated with SA+CaCl2+ vacuum packaging and SA+vacuum packaging did not present caffeic acid (CA) and chlorogenic acid (CGA) content at the end of storage, while CaCl2+vacuum packaging exhibited a low content of caffeic acid and lower antioxidant capacity at the end of the evaluation period, which can be associated with a lower browning effect compared to the control treatments with water. …”
