A comparative study between the performance of thymol-nanoemulsion and thymol-loaded nanostructured lipid carriers on the textural, microbial, and sensory characteristics of sausage.

The objective of this research was to compare the function of thymol-loaded nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC) and a thymol-nanoemulsion (NE) with nitrite (120 mg/kg) on quality parameters of sausage. The droplet size of the NLC and NE was 140 and 86.39 nm with encapsulation efficiency of 97 and 94%, respectively.

Photocatalytic degradation of 2,4-DNT in simulated wastewater by magnetic CoFeO/SiO/TiO nanoparticles.

Discharge of 2,4-dinitrotoluene (2,4-DNT) into the environment leads to a serious soil and water sources pollution problem, due to toxicity and possible carcinogenicity of this toxic substance. In this work, the photocatalytic degradation of 2,4-DNT was investigated using CoFeO/SiO/TiO nanoparticles. The catalyst features were characterized by using XRD, TEM, EDX, UV-vis DRS, FTIR, and VSM techniques.
