Immortelle, (Helichrysum italicum (Roth) G.Don, Asteraceae) is a flowering plant widely used in natural cosmetics. In this work, cyclodextrin (CD)-based ultrasound-assisted extraction of immortelle bioactive principles was investigated. Optimal extraction condition and amounts of various CD (α-CD,...Read more
Optimized use of biogenic waste streams through the combined production of bio-based products and bio-hydrogen
(Corresponding) Küppers M., Brunstermann R., Widmann R.
Topic:
Biowaste
Since 2015, there has been a legal obligation in Germany for the districts and cities to collect biowastes separately, which are then treated in a composting plant or fermentation plant. However, in both aerobic and anaerobic biowaste treatment, a large part of the carbon contained in the waste is...Read more
System-Dynamic models for groundwater management in SW Messinia, under different climatic scenarios
