Extraction of carotenoids from Chlorella vulgaris using green solvents and syngas production from residual biomass
Christof Holliger, Christian Ludwig, Shivom Sharma, Jean-Paul Schwitzguebel, Dominik Refardt
A combined process for carotenoids extraction and efficient bioenergy recovery from the wet microalgae biomass is proposed. High added-value products could thus be extracted prior a hydrothermal gasification of the algal biomass into synthetic natural gas. ...
2017Maternal allocation of carotenoids increases tolerance to bacterial infection in brown trout
Life-history theory predicts that iteroparous females allocate their resources differently among different breeding seasons depending on their residual reproductive value. In iteroparous salmonids there is typically much variation in egg size, egg number, ...
Springer2017Photoacclimatory and photoprotective responses to cold versus heat stress in high latitude reef corals
Corals at the world's southernmost coral reef of Lord Howe Island (LHI) experience large temperature and light fluctuations and need to deal with periods of cold temperature (< 18 °C), but few studies have investigated how corals are able to cope with thes ...
Wiley-Blackwell2017Product diversification in the sugarcane biorefinery through algae growth and supercritical CO 2 extraction: Thermal and economic analysis
François Maréchal, Adriano Viana Ensinas
The sugarcane sector in Brazil has undergone a major modernization in the last thirty years. Embracing the biorefinery concept, this sector is investigating bioproduct diversification and mostly putting a lot of effort and investment on second generation e ...
2017Toward the sustainable cultivation of microalgae to produce renewable biofuels and fine chemicals
Microalgae are considered as renewable feedstock for the production of next-generation biofuels. However to achieve the financial sustainability to the algal biofuel production, it will be necessary to integrate it with the processing of high-value product ...
2014Multi-injection microstructured reactor for intensification of fast exothermic reactions: proof of concept
Albert Renken, Lioubov Kiwi, Thomas Maeder, Bo Jiang, Julien Haber
Quasi-instantaneous exothermic reactions lead to the formation of unwanted hot spots even when carried out in conventional microstructured reactors (MSR) with tube diameter of 100 − 1000 μm. For this reason, alternative MSR designs are warranted to enable ...
Walter de Gruyter2013Microalgal carotenoid recovery in a biorefinery approach
Christof Holliger, Christian Ludwig, Jean-Paul Schwitzguebel, Mariluz Bagnoud, Olivier Laurent Emery
Introduction Microalgae culture to be effective as feedstock for bio-energy production needs to overcome constraining biotechnological, technological and economic factors [1]. In order to establish an economically viable process, the co-production of renew ...
2012Increased tolerance of sunflower mutant seedlings to Cd and Zn in hydroponic culture
Jean-Paul Schwitzguebel, Erika Nehnevajova
Cadmium and zinc show similarities in their chemistry, geochemistry and environmental properties. Whereas Cd is a phytotoxic non-essential element, Zn is an essential trace element for plant growth and development. Zinc plays a fundamental role in several ...
2009Role and mechanism of transient receptor potential (TRP) channels in gustatory and chemesthetic sensations associated with dietary molecules
"Chemosensory perception", the perception of food chemicals, relies on the complex cooperation of gustatory, olfactory and somatosensory detection systems. In the oral cavity, the taste buds and the lingual branch of the trigeminal nerve are the organs tha ...
EPFL2008Oxidation kinetics of selected taste and odor compounds during ozonation of drinking water
The applicability of ozonation to mitigate taste and odor problems in drinking water was investigated. Second-order rate constants of eleven taste and odor compounds with ozone and hydroxyl radicals were determined under laboratory conditions. Measured rat ...
