Untangling the effects of root age and tissue nitrogen on root respiration in Populus tremuloides at different nitrogen supply
(2016)Root respiration is a major contributor to terrestrial carbon flux. Many studies have shown root respiration to increase with an increase in root tissue nitrogen (N) concentration across species and study sites. Studies ... -
Food and ascorbic scavengers of hydrogen peroxide: A reaction calorimetry investigation
(2016)Common spectrometric methods to determine hydrogen peroxide scavenging activity require time-consuming extraction protocols and become poorly reliable because of the sample turbidity or the presence of UV-absorbing compounds. ... -
Assessment of different feedstocks in South Tyrol (Northern Italy): energy potential and suitability for domestic pellet boilers
(Elsevier, 2016)The present study aims to quantify the main biomass resources in South Tyrol (Northern Italy) and estimate the potential contribution for the energy sector. Moreover, four representative feedstocks have been tested in a ... -
Characterization of Hotel Bio-waste by Means of Simultaneous Thermal Analysis
(2016)Sustainable waste management has been assisted by the introduction of corresponding legislation. Organic biodegradable wastes, primarily food waste, represent a significant fraction of the total waste amount. Collecting, ... -
PTR-MS Characterization of VOCs Associated with Commercial Aromatic Bakery Yeasts of Wine and Beer Origin
(2016)In light of the increasing attention towards “green” solutions to improve food quality, the use of aromatic-enhancing microorganisms offers the advantage to be a natural and sustainable solution that did not negatively ... -
Rapid non-invasive quality control of semi-finished products for the food industry by direct injection mass spectrometry headspace analysis: the case of milk powder, whey powder and anhydrous milk fat
(2016)In this study, we demonstrated the suitability of direct injection mass spectrometry headspace analysis for rapid non-invasive quality control of semi-finished dairy ingredients, such as skim milk powder (SMP), whole milk ... -
Utilisation of biomass gasification by-products for onsite energy production
(2016)Small scale biomass gasification is a sector with growth and increasing applications owing to the environmental goals of the European Union and the incentivised policies of most European countries. This study addresses two ... -
Spatial and temporal variability of bacterial communities in high alpine water spring sediments
(Elsevier, 2016)Water springs are complex, fragile and taxa-rich environments, especially in highly dynamic ecosystems such as glacier forefields experiencing glacier retreat. Bacterial communities are important actors in alpine water ... -
Relationships among house, rind and core microbiotas during manufacture of traditional Italian cheeses at the same dairy plant
(2016)This study was aimed at establishing the relationships between house, rind and core microbiotas of cheese varieties manufactured at the same industrial dairy plant. Caciotta and Caciocavallo Pugliese cheeses were chosen ... -
Ecological diversity of sediment rhizobacteria associated with Phragmites australis along a drainage canal in the Yellow River watershed
(2016)Purpose: Spatial distribution on a regional scale of the rhizobacterial communities of Phragmites australis stands was investigated along the Yellow River watershed, China. Materials and methods: Samples were collected ...
