PENINGKATAN PROSES PENGOLAHAN KERUPUK IKAN DI DESA BAGAN PETE KECAMATAN ALAMBARAJO KOTA JAMBI

One of the craftsmen of fish cracker makers typical in Jambi City is the Tiara Jambee Crackers partner. The obstacle in the partners is the low sales of fried crackers compared to raw crackers (not yet fried) because there is not unbalanced profitability of sales of raw crackers compared to fried crackers. This is because the typical crackers of Jambi City are 2 to 3 times the size of other types of crackers in other regions so that frying requires a large volume of cooking oil. In addition to the problem of frying, marketing is not optimal because the packaging has not been labeled and still uses the method conventional waiting for consumers to come to partners Jambee crackers. The results of processing crackers without using oil have advantages in the texture, shape, and color of crackers so that this can increase cracker sales

Threatened and extinct amphibians and reptiles in Italian natural history collections are useful conservation tools

Natural history museums are irreplaceable tools to study and preserve the biological diversity around the globe and among the primary actors in the recognition of species and the logical repositories for their type specimens. In this paper we surveyed the consistency of the preserved specimens of amphibians and reptiles housed in the major Italian scientific collections, and verified the presence of threatened species according to the IUCN Red List, includ-ing the Extinct (EX), Extinct in the Wild (EW), Critically Endangered (CR), Endangered (EN), and Vulnerable (VU) categories. Altogether, we analyzed 39 Italian zoological collections. We confirmed the presence of one extinct reptile (Chioninia coctei) and five extinct or extinct in the wild amphibian species (Atelopus longirostris, Nectophrynoides asperginis, Pseudophilautus leucorhinus, P. nasutus, and P. variabilis). Seven CR amphibians, fourteen CR reptile species and the extinct skink C. coctei are shared by more than one institution. Museums which host the highest number of threatened and extinct amphibian species are respectively Turin (17 CR and 1 EX), Florence (13 CR and 1 EX), and Trento (15 CR and 1 EW), while for reptiles the richest museums are those from Genoa (15 CR and 1 EX), Florence (11 CR and 1 EX), and Pisa (7 CR). Finally, we discussed the utility of natural history museums and the strategies to follow for the implementation of their functionality. © Firenze University Press

The development of nano-sized silicas as analytical tools

Even at low concentrations the presence of toxic materials, such as metals or organic pesticides, in water can be harmful to humans. Extraction and preconcentration of these materials is an important part of many analytical procedures. In this work functionalised solid phase extractants, 250 nm in size (nanoscavenger), have been used to collect and concentrate metals and organic species from water using a nanoscavenger dispersion extraction (NSDE) approach. Stöber-type silica with a mean diameter of ca. 250 nm and a surface area of ca. 20 m2 g-1 has been synthesized by hydrolysis and condensation of tetraethoxysilane in a methanol and ammonium hydroxide medium. Increasing the surface area to increase the loading of functional groups on the surface was achieved by adopting mesoporous silica as the nanoscavenger core. This was successfully synthesized from tetramethoxysilane in the presence of a dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide template: 250 nm particles prepared in this manner had a surface area of ca. 1325 m2 g-1. The properties of synthesized sub-micron silicas have been investigated using various techniques. One of the main aims of this work was to use the nanoscavengers for the analytical recovery of trace analytes from water. Nanoscavengers were prepared by chemically modifying mesoporous silicas with groups such as mono- and diamines, dithiocarbamates, hydroxyquinoline, mercaptobenzamide and, for organic extractions, a mixed functionality diol and C18 modification. The nanoscavengers were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscope and thermogravimetric analysis. Copper capacity measurements for complexant nanoscavengers ranged between 0.1 and 2 mmol g-1 depending on the type of silica and the loading group. The nanoscavengers were evaluated for the preconcentration of trace analytes from water. The dithiocarbamate, hydroxyquinoline and mercaptobenzamide nano- scavengers were used to preconcentrate eight metal ions (Cu2+, Cd2+, Ni2+, Pb2+, Co2+, Cr3+, Mn2+ and Zn2+) from water. A dual functionality diol/C18-nanoscavenger was used to collect four estrogenic compounds, polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons and tributyltin from water. The recovery of extracted analytes by nanoscavengers exhibited good results.EThOS - Electronic Theses Online ServiceGBUnited Kingdo
