The quality and acrylamide content of deep-fried and microwave-puffed shrimp chips fortified with 0.1%, 0.5%, or 1.0% calcium salts (calcium lactate, calcium carbonate, calcium citrate, or calcium acetate) were investigated. Microwave-puffed shrimp chips contained higher amounts of acrylamide (130.43 ppb) than did deep-fried shrimp chips. The greatest mitigation of acrylamide formation in over…
Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is a naturally occurring toxin in food, especially in puffer fish. TTX poisoning is observed frequently in South East Asian regions. In TTX-derived food poisoning outbreaks, the amount of TTX recovered from suspicious fish samples or leftovers,and residual levels from biological fluids of victims are typically trace. However,liquid chromatographyemass spectrometry and liquid …
Purpose – The aim of this project is to modify and test the executive model of professional teacher training of disaster prevention education. Design/methodology/approach – A three-level teacher-training program for disaster prevention education and training curricula is designed for campus disaster mitigation. The designed disaster prevention education in schools focus on the awareness…
Purpose – As a result of awareness of the increasing school accidents in recent years and severe damage to school infrastructure by Typhoon Morakot, this paper seeks to discuss the current natural disaster prevention education strategy in Taiwan and investigates the seriously damaged schools from Typhoon Morakot. Design/methodology/approach – Methods of analysis used in this paper inclu…
Abstract. The present study presents the toxicity data of benzoic acid and its derivatives on Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata, in terms of EC50 and NOEC values. Median effective concentrations (EC50) range from 0.55 to 270.7 mg/L (based on final yield) and 1.93 to 726.3 mg/L (based on algal growth rate). No-observedeffect concentration (NOEC) is within the range of
Abstract. We report a modified method to synthesize SBA-16 mesostructured silica under refluxing condition using block co-polymer poly(ethylene oxide)–poly(propylene oxide)–poly(ethylene oxide) (F127) as template, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as co-template, and tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) as silica source. The physiochemical properties of SBA-16 silica were characterized b…
Abstract. Chiral proline derivative was anchored on mesoporous SBA-15 materials by nucleophilic substitution of chloropropyl-functionalized SBA-15 with (S)-(-)-a,a-diphenyl-2-pyrrolidinemethanol. Chloropropylfunctionalized SBA-15 prepared by co-condensation of tetraethyl orthosilicate and 3-chloropropyltrimethoxysilane using P123 copolymer as the pore directing agent in strong acidic environ…
