Changes in the phase composition of serpentinite from the Zhitikarinsky deposit (Kazakhstan) were studied during heat treatment in the temperature range of 105-800 °C in order to determine the phase that leads to an increase in the reactivity of serpentinite during interactions with acids. In accordance with this, the task was set to consider the influence of temperatures (105 °C, 600 °C, 660 °C, 725 °C, 750 °C and 800 °C), selected according to the extreme points of the main transformations from its derivatogram, on changes in the phase composition. The effects of heat treatment on the phase composition and reactivity of serpentinite during interactions with sulfuric acid were studied and discussed using the diffraction patterns of serpentinite heat treated at selected temperatures for 1 h and using methods of thermodynamic evaluation of the possible reactions in the temperature range of 350-750 °C, as well as establishing the nature of their interaction with sulfuric acid under identical conditions. It has been shown that, in the range of 600-750 °C, the crystal lattice of the structural composition of serpentinite is completely destroyed with the formation of not only magnesium silicates but possibly also magnesium oxide, which leads to the thermal activation of serpentinite in relation to interactions with acids and the improvement of the technological process of extracting magnesium from it. The greatest increase in reactivity was found in serpentinite samples heat treated at temperatures of 725 °C and 750 °C, which can be recommended for the thermal activation of serpentinite before using acid methods to improve the technological performance of the process of extracting magnesium from serpentinite.

This study explores the impact of natural deep eutectic solvents (NADES) on the structure and functionality of treebean (Parkia timoriana) seed protein, a novel approach to enhancing protein stability and functionality for sustainable bioprocessing. The research aims to evaluate the dynamic interactions between protein and choline chloride-sugar-based NADES, focusing on their effects on thermal properties, emulsification behaviour, and rheological characteristics. NADES were formulated using different sugars, and protein-NADES dispersions were analysed for their physicochemical and functional properties.

Plasma is considered as the fourth state of matter, and atmospheric cold plasma (cold plasma) is a type of plasma consisting of ionized gases containing excited species of atoms, molecules, ions, and free radicals at near room temperature. Cold plasma is generated by applying high voltage to gases, causing it to ionize thus forming plasma. Although cold plasma has been found to break seed dormancy and improve germination rate, only a few studies have explored the potential of cold plasma against insect herbivory.

Astaxanthin is a natural antioxidant substance, but it can be easily degraded by light, heat, and oxidation. One solution to overcome these problems is to transform astaxanthin into nanoemulsion within a protective matrix produced during an encapsulation process. In this study astaxanthin nanoemulsion (ANE) and chitosan (CS) incorporated with ANE (CS-ANE) were fabricated using high-pressure homogenizer (HPH).

This study focused on developing biodegradable packaging films based on starch as an alternative to non-biodegradable such as petroleum-derived synthetic polymers. To improve its physicochemical properties, potato starch was chemically modified through phosphorylation. Starch phosphorylation was carried out using cyclic 1,3-propanediol phosphoryl chloride (CPPC), produced phosphorylated starch (PS), and analyzed using Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA).
