Wpływ temperatury procesu na przemiany tłuszczu podczas głębokiego smażenia
PublicationBadano wpływ temperatury w zakresie 160 - 190 C na przemiany termooksydatywne tłuszczów smażalniczych. Miarą degradacji tłuszczu była zmiana jego lepkości. Stwierdzono, że wzrost temperatury i czasu smażenia powoduje wzrost lepkości tłuszczu. Szybkość tych zmian była różna dla różnych surowców tłuszczowych. Wyznaczono równania opisujące wzrost lepkości tłuszczów w funkcji czasu dla temperatur: 160, 175 i 190 C.

Relationship between Chemical Structure and Biological Activity Evaluated In Vitro for Six Anthocyanidins Most Commonly Occurring in Edible Plants
PublicationNumerous studies have provided evidence that diets rich in anthocyanins show a broad spectrum of health benefits. Anthocyanins in nature are usually found in the form of glycosides. Their aglycone forms are called anthocyanidins. The chemical structure of anthocyanins is based on the flavylium cation, but they differ in the position and number of substituents. However, the bioactives and foods that contain them are frequently treated...

A 27/26-approximation algorithm for the chromatic sum coloring of bipartitegraphs
PublicationWe consider the CHROMATIC SUM PROBLEM on bipartite graphs which appears to be much harder than the classical CHROMATIC NUMBER PROBLEM. We prove that the CHROMATIC SUM PROBLEM is NP-complete on planar bipartite graphs with Delta less than or equal to 5, but polynomial on bipartite graphs with Delta less than or equal to 3, for which we construct an O(n(2))-time algorithm. Hence, we tighten the borderline of intractability for this...
