This study reports on removal of acrylamide from roasted coffee by acrylamidase from Cupriavidus oxalaticus ICTDB921. Chitosan coated calcium alginate beads were functionalized with citric acid as nontoxic cross linker and activated by 1-ethyl-3-(3-d...
This study develops a reliable radial basis function neural networks (RBFNNs) to estimate freshness for tilapia fillets stored under non-isothermal conditions by using optimal wavelengths from hyperspectral imaging (HSI). The results show that, for t...

The objectives of this study were to characterize zein fibers and capsules prepared by electrospinning and electrospraying techniques, respectively, and then use them to encapsulate folic acid. Folic acid containing fibers and capsules (0.5, 1.0, and...
In the present study three different types of neural models: multi-layer perceptron (MLP), generalized regression neural network (GRNN) and radial basis function (RBF) has been used to predict the exergetic efficiency of roughened solar air heater. T...
Critical properties and acentric factor are widely used in phase equilibrium calculations but are difficult to evaluate with high accuracy for many organic compounds. Quantitative Structure-Property Relationship (QSPR) models are a powerful tool to e...
