The dissolution kinetics and mechanical properties of whey protein concentrate (WPC) gels were Investigated as part of a general study on cleaning mechanisms of milk fouling. The dissolution results showed that the WPC gel is a suitable model material to simulate milk fouling and the dissolution process is a major factor controlling the cleaning process. The hardness, elastic modulus, and fracture load of the WPC gels decreased significantly when they were treated with alkaline solution, indicating that certain physical and chemical changes occurred in these treated gels; as a result, different dissolution rates were observed. The results obtained in this article provide a good foundation for further studies on the cleaning mechanisms of milk fouling using WPC gels.

Cleaning rate in the uniform cleaning stage for whey protein gel deposits
XİN, H; Chen, XD; Özkan, Necati (2002-12-01)
The removal of a thermally induced whey protein concentrate (WPC) gel layer from the inner surface of a stainless steel tube was determined continuously and non-invasively by a rapid UV spectrophotometric method. Based on mass transfer theory and polymer dissolution concepts, the constant cleaning rates in the uniform stage were predicted. The viscosity and solubility of WPC gels at different temperatures were measured and used in the modelling prediction. The deviation of the prediction from the experiment...
Removal of a model protein foulant from metal surfaces
Xin, H; CHEN, XİAO DONG; Özkan, Necati (2004-08-01)
Using precoated whey protein concentrate gel films as a model milk protein fouling material, the removal kinetics from the inner surface of a stainless steel tube were determined continuously and noninvasively by a rapid UV spectrophotometric method. The influences of temperature, flow velocity, and the amount of fouling on the cleaning behavior were evaluated. For the first time, a cleaning model combining polymer dissolution and boundary layer mass transfer has been used to describe the cleaning process. ...
Microtensile Bond Strength of Self-Adhesive Resin-Based Dental Cement to Bleached Enamel
Tamam, Evsen; Keskin, Selda; Ucatasli, Mine Betuel (Informa UK Limited, 2010-01-01)
This study investigated the effectiveness of bleaching agents on the micro tensile bond strength (mu TBS) of self-adhesive luting cement and enamel. A total of 126 samples were prepared from the labial surfaces of permanent human maxillary central incisors and assigned into three groups with 42 samples each as: control, enamel bleached with 10% hydrogen peroxide (HP), and enamel bleached with 10% carbamide peroxide (CP). Rely X Unicem (R) (3 M, ESPE) was used as self-adhesive resin cement. The total testing...
Nanostructured chitosan/monolaurin film: Preparation, characterization and antimicrobial activity against Listeria monocytogenes on ultrafiltered white cheese
Lotfi, Mohamad; Tajik, Hossein; Moradi, Mehran; Forough, Mehrdad; Divsalar, Elahe; Kuswandi, Bambang (2018-06-01)
Antimicrobial cellulose-chitosan (CC) films containing monolaurin (ML) (0.5 and 1%) were developed using the sol-gel method and characterized in terms of microscopic, structural, swelling, water solubility, and antimicrobial properties against Listeria monocytogenes in vitro and on ultrafiltered cheese during storage at 4 for 14 days. The results of antimicrobial activity revealed that the addition of ML significantly (p < 0.05) increased the diameter of the inhibition zone. Moreover, CC film did not show i...
Anaerobic mesophilic digestion of waste activated sludge in the presence of 2,3 ',4,4 ',5-pentachlorobiphenyl
Kaya, Devrim; İmamoğlu, İpek; Sanin, Faika Dilek (Elsevier BV, 2013-09-01)
The aim of this study was to investigate the anaerobic digestion of waste activated sludge in the presence of a model PCB congener, 2,3',4,4',5-pentachlorobiphenyl (PCB-118), and transformer oil (TO), and thereby PCB dechlorination under mesophilic digestion conditions. Two PCB-118 concentrations (1 and 20 mg/L) and one TO concentration (1.52 g/L) were studied. Beside the PCB concentrations, pH, ORP, TS, VS, VSS, TSS, tCOD, and sCOD were monitored throughout the reactor operations (159-day). Methane product...
