Andresa Baptista,Francisco Silva,Jacobo Porteiro,José Luis Míguez,Gustavo Adolfo Saavedra Pinto +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the improvements already studied in order to optimize the sputtering PVD process, trying to relate these improvements with the industrial requirements as a function of product development and market demand is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimization of ultrasound extraction of phenolic compounds from coconut (Cocos nucifera) shell powder by response surface methodology
TL;DR: The use of ultrasound to extract phenolic compounds from coconut shell was evaluated and the process yielded 22.44 mg of Phenolic compounds per gram of coconut shell at the optimum operating condition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ultrasound extraction of phenolic compounds from coconut (Cocos nucifera) shell powder
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the effects of toasting time, toasting temperature and extraction time on the phenolic compounds extracted from the coconuts, and the results indicated that high amounts of phenolics can be extracted from coconut shell by ultrasound assisted extraction technology.
