... Riesling musts, with or without sulfur dioxide added, were fermented either with or without the addition of yeast. Uninoculated fermentations took much longer to finish than inoculated musts. There were no significant differences in growth of non-Saccharomyces yeasts in uninoculated musts with less than 50 mg l-1 SO2 added. The starter culture was completely dominant over indigenous Saccharomyces ...
... Gas-exchange models are often used to predict gas conditions inside modified atmosphere (MA) packages of fresh plant products. Current models describing CO2 production of harvested plant products do not account for an inhibition of a high partial pressure of CO2 on fermentation rates, whereas such as inhibition on plant metabolism is often found. An existing gas-exchange model was modified to incl ...

... Rhodotorula glutinis is a pigmented yeast, part of the Basidiomycota phylum, particularly important for food industries because its biotechnological potential and safety implications. Various strains of Rhodotorula present important features such as the production of large amounts of carotenoids, single-cell proteins from ethanol, acetic acid and acetaldehyde. This review describes and discusses t ...
... We have investigated the role of coadsorbed atomic oxygen during the decomposition of acetic acid on Pt(111) by means of temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) and synchrotron radiation photoelectron spectroscopy (SRPES). Reaction mechanisms have been established through identification of desorbing products and surface species formed during decomposition of acetic acid, both on Pt(111) and oxygen ...
... Emission of carbon from ecosystems in the form of volatile organic compounds (VOC) represents a minor component flux in the global carbon cycle that has a large impact on ground-level ozone, particle and aerosol formation and thus on air chemistry and quality. This study reports exchanges of CO2 and VOC between a poplar-based short rotation coppice (SRC) plantation and the atmosphere, measured sim ...
... This paper reports a simultaneous catalytic esterification of acetic acid and alkylation of acetaldehyde using a silica sulfuric acid catalyst from 40 to 140 °C. The results show that the esterification of acetic acid and acetalization of acetaldehyde with 1-butanol took place simultaneously, and both reactions were strongly affected by the temperature and catalyst dosage. The esterification of ac ...
... The present study investigated the variations in main flavor compounds of a Chinese brandy during the second distillation process using headspace–solid-phase microextraction coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. A total of 97 volatile compounds involving esters, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, furans, benzene derivatives and terpenes were quantified, and 28 components were identified as ...

Abstract:
... Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are responsible for flavour development in watermelon (Citrullus lanatus). The objective of this study was to investigate the rootstock effects of 21 local bottle gourd [Lagenaria siceraria (Molina) Standl.] accessions collected from the Mediterranean region (Turkey) on the concentrations of VOCs in watermelon over 2 years. The watermelon cultivar ‘Crimson Tide’ w ...
... Sherry wines are consumed worldwide and are principally produced in the Jerez and Montilla‐Moriles regions of southern Spain. Acetaldehyde is a relevant carbonyl compound in wines and one of the main responsible for the particular personality of Sherry wines with a ripe apple odor descriptor. Aldehyde dehydrogenase plays an important role in yeast acetaldehyde metabolism. Acetaldehyde contents in ...
... Pt/CeO2–ZrO2–SnO2/γ-Al2O3 catalysts were prepared by co-precipitation and wet impregnation methods for catalytic oxidation of acetaldehyde to acetic acid in water. In the present catalysts, Pt and CeO2–ZrO2–SnO2 were successfully dispersed on the γ-Al2O3 support. Dependences of platinum content and reaction time on the selective oxidation of acetaldehyde to acetic acid were investigated to optimiz ...
... BACKGROUND: Beer is a popular alcoholic malt beverage resulting from fermentation of the aqueous extract of malted barley with hops. The aroma of brewing barley impacts the flavor of beer indirectly, because some flavor compounds or their precursors in beer come from the barley. The objectives of this research were to study volatile profiles and to characterize odor‐active compounds of brewing bar ...
... In relation to the reported methane activation on Zn-modified zeolite ZSM-5 at room temperature to afford the surface methoxy species by Xu et al. (Chem. Sci. 2012, 3, 2932), the activation of methane on Zn²⁺-exchanged H-ZSM-5 zeolite in the absence and the presence of molecular oxygen has been studied with ¹³C magic angle spinning (MAS) NMR spectroscopy. It has been established that the methane a ...

Abstract:
... This paper investigates the feasibility of exploiting a non-thermal plasma (NTP) to treat the gaseous effluents released by the mechanical-biological treatments (MBTs) of waste and overcome the typical disadvantages of biofilters, whose removal efficiency is limited during acclimatization of bacteria, peaks of pollutant concentration or unstable airflow rates. A dielectric barrier discharge was ap ...
... This paper presents completed research on the purification of undiluted raw water and organic condensates obtained in biomass thermal conversion processes such as gasification, which are rarely addressed in published studies. However, similar studies involving the characterization and purification of aqueous solutions obtained from process gas treatment after the gasification of biomass are availa ...

... Incentives to use biofuels may result in increasing vehicular emissions of compounds detrimental to air quality. Therefore, regulated and unregulated emissions from a Euro 5a flex-fuel vehicle, tested using E85 and E75 blends (gasoline containing 85% and 75% of ethanol (vol/vol), respectively), were investigated at 22 and −7 °C over the New European Driving Cycle, at the Vehicle Emission Laborator ...

... The performance of probiotic yogurt with the addition of glucose oxidase (250 and 500ppm, GOX1 and GOX2, respectively) compared to commercial products available in the Brazilian market was investigated. Microbiological (probiotic bacteria count), physical–chemical (pH, proteolysis, minerals) and metabolic activities (production of organic acids, flavor and aroma compounds and fatty acid profile) w ...
... Gold nanoparticles (NPs) with a mean particle size ranging from 2.1 to 7.4nm were loaded on anatase TiO2 particles (Au/TiO2) by the heating temperature-varied deposition precipitation technique. This study has shown that Au/TiO2 with Au particle size <3nm and TiO2 surface area >50m²g⁻¹ can be a promising environmental catalyst for the rapid removal and decomposition of gaseous acetaldehyde in a cl ...
... Under ambient humid conditions, the adsorption of acetaldehyde on unmodified TiO2 is small and weak. In contrast, loading Au particles smaller than 3nm on TiO2 with surface area larger than 17.5m²g⁻¹ (Au/TiO2) causes the rapid and strong adsorption of gaseous acetaldehyde from a closed space. This striking adsorption phenomenon initiates from the aerobic oxidation of acetaldehyde to acetic acid by ...
