Extraction of Carbohydrates and Phenolics from Barley Hull using Pressurized/Subcritical Fluids
DownloadSpring 2013
Canada is one of the largest barley producers, generating barley hull which accounts for 10-13% wt of the grain. Barley hull has valuable components, such as carbohydrates and phenolics. This thesis studied the extraction of total carbohydrates and phenolics from the hull of a new barley variety...

Nanofiber production from agricultural straw biomass using pressurized fluids and ultrasound processing for tissue engineering scaffolds
DownloadSpring 2020
Agricultural straw is an abundant lignocellulosic biomass mainly composed of cellulose (33-75%), hemicellulose (13-37%) and lignin (3-31%) that offers great potential as a feed material for a biorefinery. Emerging technologies such as pressurized fluid fractionation and high-intensity ultrasound...

Pressurized fluid extraction of anthocyanins from cranberry pomace and its use in bioactive food coatings for almonds
DownloadFall 2017
About 94% of total cranberry production is mainly used by the juice industry, generating cranberry pomace, which is a rich source of anthocyanins. Pressurized fluids have been used to extract phytochemicals from different by-products. Such phytochemicals can be used in edible food coatings to...

Study of biodiesel-assisted ambient aqueous bitumen extraction (BA3BE) for hydrocarbon production from mineable oil sands
DownloadFall 2019
Surface mining followed by Clark’s hot water bitumen extraction (HWBE) process has been employed in the current mineable oil sands industry for massive bitumen production. This method is faced with numerous challenges such as high energy consumption, limited bitumen quality, production from...
