Starch was extracted from the ﬂour of these dried fruits by: (i) low shear at alkaline pH and successively using three sieves (A3S) at different centrifugation conditions (velocity and time) and (ii) enzymatic treatment at low shear (ENZ) at a different amount/digestion time of protease. In both cases a Central Composite Rotatable Design (CCRD) was used as an experimental design. Results were treated through the Response Surface Methodology (RSM). Based on maximum yield values and the degree of purity, the best modiﬁed conditions encountered were applied in a new trial and mass balance was established for both isolation procedures. The best centrifugation conditions encountered for the A3S isolation method were 800 × g during 15min, and for the ENZ method 900 units of protease despite the incubation time, for the same centrifugation terms. The yields reached with these experimental conditions for the A3S and ENZ methods were 83.9% and 79.9% for chestnut and 88.5% and 86.9% for acorn, respectively. Isolated starches shown to be higher in purity, presented values of 98.3% and 96.3% for chestnut and 98.1% and 97.6% for acorn, respectively for the A3S and ENZ methods</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The following values have no corresponding Zotero field:&lt;br/&gt;publisher: Institution of Chemical Engineers</style></notes></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sanz, J</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bermejo, V</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Muntifering, R</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">González-Fernández, I</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gimeno, B S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Elvira, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Alonso, R</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Plant phenology, growth and nutritive quality of Briza maxima: responses induced by enhanced ozone atmospheric levels and nitrogen enrichment.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Environmental pollution (Barking, Essex : 1987)</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dehesa annual grasslands</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nitrogen.

Two serial experiments were developed in Open-Top Chambers (OTC) using three O(3) and three N levels. Increased O(3) exposure did not affect the biomass-related parameters, but enhanced senescence, increased fiber foliar content (especially lignin concentration) and reduced plant life span; these effects were related to senescence acceleration induced by the pollutant. Added N increased plant biomass production and improved nutritive quality by decreasing foliar fiber concentration. Interestingly, the effects of N supplementation depended on meteorological conditions and plant physiological activity. N supplementation counteracted the O(3)-induced senescence but did not modify the effects on nutritive quality. Nutritive quality and phenology should be considered in new definitions of the O(3) limits for the protection of herbaceous vegetation.</style></abstract><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">21111519</style></accession-num></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Costa, Augusta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pereira, Helena</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Caracterização e Análise de Rendimento da Operação de Traçamento na Preparação de Pranchas de Cortiça para a Produção de Rolhas</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Silva Lusitana</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">cork industry</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">cork planks</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">cutting process</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">natural cork stoppers</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">preparation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">yield</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2004</style></year></dates><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">scielopt</style></publisher><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">12</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">51-66</style></pages><isbn><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">0870-6352 UL - http://www.scielo.gpeari.mctes.pt/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&amp;pid=S0870-63522004000200005&amp;nrm=iso</style></isbn><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The industrial processing of natural cork stoppers, the most profitable cork product, begins with the preparation of the cork planks. The raw cork planks are boiled in water and then manually cut by expert operators into smaller planks of homogeneous thickness and quality. This operation originates the first cork wastes in the industrial process. The cutting of the cork planks was studied with a random sampling of raw cork planks taken from one industrial unit after boiling, for which a virtual cutting was made following the markings done by skilled operators. The dimension and shape of the cork planks were analyzed as well as the potential maximum number of cork stoppers to be produced. The area, length and width of the raw cork planks are related with the shape of the tree stem and branches and with the cork stripping techniques, while the dimensions of the prepared cork planks are related to the specificities of the manual handling in the following operations in the industrial flow. On average, the cutting decreased the cork plank area to half. The wastes consisting of small pieces represented 5% of the initial raw cork. The analysis of the maximum potential yield of cork stoppers showed that the regions of the raw cork planks that do not allow the cutting of cork strips for the punching out of stoppers or their excess length represent a waste residue amounting to 17% of the cork plank area. The potential maximum number of cork stoppers depended directly on the plank area but the proportion of waste showed a decreasing trend with the increase of the plank area. In order to maximize the yield in the production of cork stoppers, raw cork planks with large dimensions should be used, taking into account the probable need for automation in the industrial cutting of cork strips.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Shaw, P.J.a.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lankey, K</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Jourdan, A</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Factors affecting yield of Tuber melanosporum in a Quercus ilex plantation in southern France</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mycological Research</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">host tree (PG)</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">soil conditions</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tuber melanosporum</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">yield</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1996</style></year></dates><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">British Mycological Society</style></publisher><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">100</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1176-1178</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Yields of Tuber nielanosporurn fruit bodies from a commercial truffle plantation are examined in relation to time, soil conditions and basal diameter of host tree.
