Sentences with phrase «cellulose structure»

Kale is naturally bitter, but massaging it breaks down the cellulose structure wilting and softening the kale.

This process wilts it's tough cellulose structure, giving it a soft, silky texture and mellows it's bitter flavour to reveal a sweeter side that's normally only accessible through long cooking.

This improves the texture and flavour of the kale by breaking down it's tough cellulose structure.

This process breakdowns the kale tough cellulose structure.

Swathes of cellulose grown on 3 - D printed structures could precisely match the contours of specific body parts, curbing the risk of contaminants getting trapped under wrinkles in the cellulose or the material peeling off.

Leaving the material in a sealed container for a few days «nicely produced a cellulose film on top of the printed structure,» says study coauthor Patrick Rühs, a food scientist also at ETH Zurich.

These would be new types of bio-ethanol or other sorts of potential fuels that would be made by converting the cellulose, the stocky, woody material that's really makes up the structure of most plants; and we have a lot of that.

Normally, bacterial cellulose spins into long tendrils that, along with a different kind of sticky, protein - based fiber, form basketlike structures that cradle individual bacteria and tie them together into an elastic web.

Whether waste paper or raked leaves, the plant remnants still contain cellulose, a sugar in greenery that bonds with the chemical compound lignin to furnish a plant's structure.

E. coli normally secrete a modified version of cellulose that helps build this tightly woven structure (left).

«Cellulose nanofibres are the main reinforcement in all plant structures and are characterised by nanoscale dimensions, high strength and toughness,» Berglund told New Scientist.

The material — which is 20 times whiter than paper — is made from non-toxic cellulose and achieves such bright whiteness by mimicking the structure of the ultra-thin scales of certain types of beetle.

The Cambridge team, working with researchers from Aalto University in Finland, mimicked the structure of chitin using cellulose, which is non-toxic, abundant, strong and bio-compatible.

The basic steps of biofuel production start with deconstructing, or taking apart, the cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin that are bound together in the complex plant structure.

Atalla finds that briefly soaking corn stover (the leftover parts of the plant, such as husks) in a solution of sodium hydroxide, ethanol, and water changes the molecular structure of the cellulose, allowing him to convert nearly twice as much of it as is possible with existing methods.

The final product is cellulose nanocrystals, tiny rod - like structures that are 120 nanometers long and have a diameter of 6.5 nanometers.

The special nano structure of the cellulose in Cladophora algae was found to be perfect as the basis for environmentally - friendly batteries.

RICHLAND, Wash. — Researchers at Washington State University Tri-Cities and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have found a new way to define the molecular structure of cellulose, which could lead to cheaper and more efficient ways to make a variety of crucial bioproducts.

Cellulose is an insoluble, indigestible fiber (long - chain carbohydrate) that makes up a good portion of the cell wall within plant foods, giving them rigidity and structure.

Fiber is the parts of plant foods that your digestive system isn't able to break down — the tough cellulose and other polysaccharides that makes up the structures of plants.

Fibers such as FOS, inulin, and resistant starch can lead to a significant increase in the production of butyrate, while fibers found in citrus pectin, citrus pulp, beet pulp, and cellulose yield relatively low levels of butyrate.8 This difference in butyrate production is directly related to the carbon structure of the individual fibers.

It's true, she says, that dogs can't digest cellulose - a single structural carbohydrate used by plants to form things like stalks, seed coats, and vegetable structure - but neither can humans (only some herbivores, such as cows, can).

I suggest you look up Liebig's Law of the Minimum, and also read up on the results of the FACE open air enhanced CO2 trials: higher CO2 promotes faster and more robust plant growth in only some species, but even then it mainly promotes increased production of cellulose and lignin in the plant stem and leaf structure rather than in increased fruit and seed yield.

They note that the lignin plant structure that is left after cellulose and carbohydrates are taken can be burned to help fuel the conversion process, giving the whole operation a much better greenhouse gas advantage than simply fermenting corn.

Researchers are exploring ways to use acid or enzymes to break the cellulose away from the lignin that gives the plant its structure.
