16. Novel analytical approaches in quality and safety control in production of fermented beverages : dissertationJelena Topić, 2022, doktorska disertacija Opis: The exploitation of microorganisms for fermentation goes back centuries. Two types of fermentation are usually used in the winemaking process – alcoholic fermentation and malolactic fermentation. Nowadays, inoculated fermentations with the use of starter cultures are commonly used in order to produce wine with more consistent quality. However, wines can lack in flavour complexity, so scientists and the industry are constantly looking for new and improved starters that can be adapted to different types of wine.
In this work we focused on the development and implementation of novel analytical methods for wine quality control. In the course of method development native yeasts and lactic acid bacteria isolates were characterized for wine starter properties. We focused on the determination of biologically active compounds that determine wine quality and safety. Yeasts can influence wine colour through their adsorption capacity and synthesis of stable colour pigments pyranoanthocyanins and lactic acid bacteria can produce biogenic amines which can have adverse detrimental health effects on sensitive consumers when they are present in wines.

19. Towards a novel method for iron species determination in Antarctic sea iceHanna Budasheva, Arne Bratkič, Dorota Korte, Mladen Franko, 2021, objavljeni povzetek znanstvenega prispevka na konferenci Opis: Sea-ice borne iron has been found to be an important factor controlling Southern Ocean phytoplankton growth [1]. Knowing the amount and chemical speciation of its labile fraction in sea ice would advance our understanding of the involved processes. Unfortunately, it is rather difficult to perform their measurement because of limited access to the Antarctic. Thus there is a strong need for the development of a quick, simple and reliable technique for determination of iron and its speciation in sea-ice that ensures also low enough limits of detection. Recently, diffusive gradients in thin films (DGT) have been widely used as passive samplers for collecting time-averaged data on the concentrations of transition metals in different media [2]. DGTs are further coupled to an analytical technique that in case of detecting metals in passive sampler films primarily requires their extraction [3], which may potentially lead to changes of the metal specification. In the present study, the beam deflection spectrometry (BDS) is coupled to DGT and used to determine the average concentration of iron in the sea ice samples collected at the Davis Station in the Antarctic. Such a combined technique has been already successfully applied for detecting labile iron species in freshwater sediments [4]. The obtained BDS data were validated by thermal lens spectrometry (TLS) and UV-Vis spectrophotometry (SPEC). The distribution of iron species over a given ice surface area using the DGT-BDS technique revealed total iron concentrations in the range of 0.6 – 5.3 μgL-1, whereas the Fe2+ content was found to be in the range of 0.1 – 1.5 μgL-1. The range taking into account all of the measurement points (5×4), the precision of a single measured point is 0.2 μgL-1. The calculated 24 h-average concentration of total Fe labile species in the ice by using BDS is 2.3 ± 0.5 μgL-1, which coincides with data obtained by SPEC (2.5 ± 0.4 μgL-1) and TLS (2.39 ± 0.02 μgL-1). Our results indicate that it is possible to develop a robust, contamination-resilient detection method for measuring the labile iron species concentration in the sea ice. In opposite to TLS and SPEC, BDS-DGT provides reliable information not only about the speciation of iron but also about their distribution on the ice surface.

20. Through-plane and in-plane thermal diffusivity determination of graphene nanoplatelets by photothermal beam deflection spectrometryHumberto Cabrera, Dorota Korte, Hanna Budasheva, Behnaz Abbasgholi N. Asbaghi, Stefano Bellucci, 2021, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: In this work, in-plane and through-plane thermal diffusivities and conductivities of a freestanding
sheet of graphene nanoplatelets are determined using photothermal beam deflection spectrometry.
Two experimental methods were employed in order to observe the effect of load pressures
on the thermal diffusivity and conductivity of the materials. The in-plane thermal diffusivity was
determined by the use of a slope method supported by a new theoretical model, whereas the
through-plane thermal diffusivity was determined by a frequency scan method in which the obtained
data were processed with a specifically developed least-squares data processing algorithm.
On the basis of the determined values, the in-plane and through-plane thermal conductivities and
their dependences on the values of thermal diffusivity were found. The results show a significant
difference in the character of thermal parameter dependence between the two methods. In the case
of the in-plane configuration of the experimental setup, the thermal conductivity decreases with the
increase in thermal diffusivity, whereas with the through-plane variant, the thermal conductivity
increases with an increase in thermal diffusivity for the whole range of the loading pressure used.
This behavior is due to the dependence of heat propagation on changes introduced in the graphene
nano-platelets structure by compression. Ključne besede: graphene nanoplatelets, thermal diffusivity, thermal conductivity, photothermal spectrometry Objavljeno v RUNG: 30.11.2021; Ogledov: 1782; Prenosov: 65 Povezava na celotno besedilo Gradivo ima več datotek! Več... |
