[Study of composite mixtures based on durum wheat semolina and white beans flour for pasta production as specialized food products].

Increasing the number of chronic non-communicable diseases around the world is a critical social problem in many countries. In this regard, the creation of specialized foods that correct dysfunctions of the human body is a priority direction in science and food industry. Legumes are characterized by a high content of protein, minerals and trace elements, which determines their possible use as the main raw materials for creating specialized foods.

Aqueous phase reforming of birch and pine hemicellulose hydrolysates.

The current work focuses on studying the aqueous phase reforming (APR) of pine and birch hydrolysate obtained from waste wood by using organic acids available from biorefineries. Processing of representative synthetic mixtures was utilized in the work in order to support data interpretation related to the influence of different chemical compound and processing parameters on the APR of the actual hydrolysates. It was shown, that hydrogenation of the hydrolysates prior to APR was not feasible in the presence of formic acid, which ruled out one potential processing route.

[New morphometric criteria in the study of pathogenesis of normal-tension glaucoma].

Introduction: Studying the factors that contribute to the disturbance of transmembrane pressure gradient is a topical task in the research of pathogenesis of normal-tension glaucoma (NTG).

Purpose: To measure and compare the thickness and depth of lamina cribrosa (LCT and LCD), as well as optic nerve subarachnoid space width (ONSASW) in patients with NTG and healthy individuals.

Material And Methods: The first group included 12 patients (23 eyes) aged from 58 to 74 years (average age 66.

Hydrodeoxygenation of Isoeugenol over Alumina-Supported Ir, Pt, and Re Catalysts.

Hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of isoeugenol (IE) was investigated using bimetallic iridium-rhenium and platinum-rhenium catalysts supported on alumina in the temperature and pressure ranges of 200-250 °C and 17-40 bar in nonpolar dodecane as a solvent. The main parameters were catalyst type, hydrogen pressure, and initial concentration. Nearly quantitative yield of the desired product, propylcyclohexane (PCH), at complete conversion in 240 min was obtained with Ir-Re/AlO prepared by the deposition-precipitation method using 0.

Sibunit-Supported Mono- and Bimetallic Catalysts Used in Aqueous-Phase Reforming of Xylitol.

Carbon-supported mono- and bimetallic catalysts prepared via incipient wetness impregnation were systematically studied in aqueous-phase reforming (APR) of xylitol aiming at hydrogen production from biomass. The catalytic performance of several VIII group metals and their combinations, such as Pt, Ni, Pt-Ni, Re, Pt-Re, Ru, Pt-Ru, and Pt-Co, was compared for xylitol APR in a fixed-bed reactor at 225 °C and 29.7 bar (N).
