- 19 Jun 1991
TL;DR: In this paper, a biologically active agent is continuously blended with a starchy material and water, subjected to high-shear mechanical action at a temperature above the gelatinization temperature of starch, and continuously recovered as an insolubilized matrix of starch that entraps discontinuous domains of the agent.

Tennessee plant species screened for renewable energy sources
Merle E. Carr,M. O. Bagby +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an additional 51 species were collected from Tennessee and studied for yields of oils, polyphenols, hydrocarbons, protein, and ash, and chemical and botanical data were presented for eight of the 51 species, and a checklist of the 43 other species is given; data on these are available from NRRC.

Evaluation of 107 legumes for renewable sources of energy
TL;DR: One hundred and seven species of randomly-collected Leguminosae were evaluated for their potential as energy-producing crops and 11 species were identified as the more promising for future considerations based on a numerical rating system developed at this Center as discussed by the authors.

Comparison of steam injection cooking versus twin-screw extrusion of pearl cornstarch for encapsulation of chloroacetanilide herbicides
TL;DR: In this paper, a 30 mm twin-screw extruder at 35% starch solids was used for liquid chloroacetanilide herbicide encapsulation, compared to a steam injection cooking/Sigma blade mixing process.
