The moisture sorption isotherms of Chilean papaya were determined at 5, 20, and 45 ºC, over a relative humidity range of 10-95%. The GAB, BET, Oswin, Halsey, Henderson, Smith, Caurie and Iglesias-Chirife models were applied to the sorption experimental data. The goodness of fit of the mathematical models was statistically evaluated by means of the determination coefficient, mean relative percentage deviation, sum square error, root-mean-square error, and chi-square values. The GAB, Oswin and Halsey models were found to be the most suitable for the description of the sorption data. The sorption heats calculated using the Clausius-Clapeyron equation were 57.35 and 59.98 kJ·mol-1, for adsorption and desorption isotherms, respectively.

The calcified tissues, comprising bone and cartilage, are metabolically active tissues that bind and release calcium, bicarbonate and other substances according to systemic needs. Understanding the regulation of cellular metabolism in bone and cartilage is an important issue, since a link between the metabolism and diseases of these tissues is clear. An essential element in the function of bone-resorbing osteoclasts, namely regulation of bicarbonate transport, has not yet been thoroughly studied. Another example of an important but at the same time fairly unexplored subject of interest in this field is cartilage degeneration, an important determinant for development of osteoarthritis. The link between this and oxidative metabolism has rarely been studied. In this study, we have investigated the significance of bicarbonate transport in osteoclasts. We found that osteoclasts possess several potential proteins for bicarbonate transport, including carbonic anhydrase IV and XIV, and an electroneutral bicarbonate co-transporter NBCn1. We have also shown that inhibiting the function of these proteins has a significant impact on bone resorption and osteoclast morphology. Furthermore, we have explored oxidative metabolism in chondrocytes and found that carbonic anhydrase III (CA III), a protein linked to the prevention of protein oxidation in muscle cells, is also present in mouse chondrocytes, where its expression correlates with the presence of reactive oxygen species. Thus, our study provides novel information on the regulation of cellular metabolism in calcified tissues.

A set of models in Aspen plus was built to simulate the direct synthesis process of hydrogen peroxide in a micro-reactor system. This process model can be used to carry out material balance calculation under various experimental conditions. Three thermodynamic property methods were compared by calculating gas solubility and Uniquac-RK method was finally selected for process model. Two different operation modes with corresponding operation conditions were proposed as the starting point of future experiments. Simulations for these two modes were carried out to get the information of material streams. Moreover, some hydrodynamic parameters such as gas/liquid superficial velocity, gas holdup were also calculated with improved process model. These parameters proved the proposed experimental conditions reasonable to some extent. The influence of operation conditions including temperature, pressure and circulation ratio was analyzed for the first operation mode, where pure oxygen was fed into dissolving tank and hydrogen-carbon dioxide mixture was fed into microreactor directly. The preferred operation conditions for the system are low temperature (2°C) and high pressure (30 bar) in dissolving tank. High circulation ratio might be good in the sense that more oxygen could be dissolved and fed into reactor for reactions, but meanwhile hydrodynamics of microreactor should be considered. Furthermore, more operation conditions of reactor gas/liquid feeds in both of two operation modes were proposed to provide guidance for future experiment design and corresponding hydrodynamic parameters were also calculated. Finally, safety issue was considered from thermodynamic point of view and there is no explosion danger at given experimental plan since the released reaction heat will not cause solvent vaporization inside the microchannels. The improvement of process model still needs further study based on the future experimental results.
