Title: Physical and mechanical properties of pea starch edible films containing beeswax emulsions
Inventor: HAN JUNG
IPC: C08L3/12
Filed: 2007-06-29
Abstract: Hydrophobic beeswax emulsions were incorporated into hydrophilic starch films to modify physical, mechanical and thermal properties of the films. Beeswax was added in the film-forming solution of high amylose pea starch (35 - 40% amylose w/w) at the level of 0, 10, 20, 30 and 40% w/w of starch with glycerol as a plasticizer (40/60 of glycerol/starch). Addition of beeswax affected mechanical properties significantly reducing tensile strength and elongation, and increasing elastic modulus. Beeswax addition decreased water vapor permeability, and increased oxygen permeability. However, the addition of hydrophobic wax particles in starch films marginally affected these physical properties below 30% beeswax in the films. Beeswax addition at the 40% concentration formed amylose-lipid complex which caused the dramatic changes of physical and thermal properties of the films

Patent CA-2678765-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ROSENBAUM ITZHAK
IPC: C02F1/02
Filed: 2009-10-02
Abstract: A method of converting non-fresh water to fresh water, referred to as the "Rosenbaum-Weisz Process", is disclosed. The Process utilizes high temperature electrolysis to decompose the treated non-fresh water into hydrogen and oxygen.  The generated hydrogen and oxygen are then combusted at elevated pressure in a high temperature combustor to generate high pressure high temperature superheated steam. The combustion of hydrogen and oxygen at elevated high pressure will prevent air from entering the combustor thereby preventing the creation of nitrous oxide ("NOX") that might otherwise be created as a result of the high temperature created by the combustion. The heat from the high pressure high temperature superheated steam is then removed by a high temperature heat exchanger system and recycled back to the high temperature electrolysis unit.  The superheated steam will condense, as a result of the heat extraction by the heat exchanger system, to produce fresh water.
