© 2021 Elsevier LtdBackground: Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) relaxometry is widely used for food products characterization. In order to exploit the full potential of the relaxation methods one can look at magnetic field dependence of spin-lattice relaxation. Analysis of relaxation dispersion characteristics of food systems may complement knowledge about composition and dynamics of their constituents, in particular, of water. Scope and approach: In this article, we review the basic principles as well as recent applications of field-cycling NMR relaxometry in different food systems. Key findings and conclusions: The inter- and intra-molecular interactions modulated by molecular dynamics can be efficiently studied with NMR relaxometry. This method can be exploited for discrimination of liquids, determination of diffusion coefficient or paramagnetic ion concentration, observation of crystallization/solidification processes. The technique has already proven to be helpful to investigate changes occurring in food products due to different processing techniques and to detect food adulteration. FFC benchtop instruments represent a new frontier in food studies.

Zero- to ultralow-field (ZULF) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is an emerging tool for precision chemical analysis. In this work, we study dynamic processes and investigate the influence of chemical exchange on ZULF NMR J-spectra. We develop a computational approach that allows quantitative calculation of J-spectra in the presence of chemical exchange and apply it to study aqueous solutions of [N-15]ammonium ((NH4+)-N-15) as a model system. We show that pH-dependent chemical exchange substantially affects ...
Indirect nuclear exchange coupling and electronic structure of the chain semiconductor TlSe: A Tl-203 and Tl-205 NMR study
Panich, AM; Hasanlı, Nızamı (2001-05-15)
We report an NMR study of the indirect nuclear exchange coupling, electronic structure, and wave-functions overlap in the single crystal of semiconductor TlSe which has a chain structure and comprises two kinds of Tl atoms, Tl1+ and Tl3+. Strong exchange coupling among the spins of Tl1+ and Tl3+ ions, which reside in neighboring chains, is observed. This interaction is significantly stronger than the exchange coupling of the equivalent atoms within the chains. Such an interchain coupling is realized due to ...
Molecular Assembly of Multi-Wall Carbon Nanotubes with Amino Crown Ether: Synthesis and Characterization
Camarena, J. P.; Espinoza-Gomez, H.; SOMANATHAN, R; Tiznado, H.; Velez-Lopez, E.; Romero-Rivera, R.; Martinez-Lopez, M. A.; Avalos-Borja, M.; Bek, Alpan; Alonso-Nunez, G.; Rogel-Hernandez, E. (2011-06-01)
Synthetic methodology and physicochemical characterization of multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) functionalized with a crown ether molecule is reported. The MWCNTs were synthesized by spray pyrolysis technique using toluene as carbon source and ferrocene as catalyst. The nanotubes were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Oxidation of MWCNTs was carried out by 8 h of sonication in a mixture of sulfuric and nitric acid (3:1). The MWCNT-COOH was ami...
Synthesis, characterization and investigation of thermoluinescence properties of strontium pyrophosphate doped with metals
İlkay, Levent Sait; Özbayoğlu, Gülhan; Department of Mining Engineering (2009)
Strontium pyrophosphate is a promising phosphate that is used widely in the industry as a result of its luminescent, fluorescent, dielectric, semi-conductor, catalyst, magnetic and ion exchange properties. Thermoluminescent dosimetry (TLD) is one of such areas. Recent researches in METU on thermoluminescence property of strontium pyrophosphate showed that strontium pyrophosphate could give enough intensity for radiation dosimetry when doped with oxides of some rare-earth elements. In this study strontium py...

The photodegradation of irradiated PETG and PCCT model compounds namely Tm-CHDM-Tm and Tm-TMCD-Tm, where Tm refers to the methyl ester of terephthalic acid, CHDM refers to 1, 4-cyclohexanedimethanol, and TMCD refers to tetramethyl-1, 3-cyclobutanediol, was analyzed using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Photodegradation products were characterized based on high resolution O(1s)x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) spectra and the spectra of irradiated model compounds showed a decrease in the relative inte...
