Development and Validation of UV-Visible Spectrophotometric Method for the Determination of 5-Hydroxymethyl Furfural Content in Canned Malt Drinks and Fruit Juices in Ghana by Joseph K. Adu, Cedric D. K. Amengor, Emmanuel Orman, Nurudeen Mohammed Ibrahim, Maryjane O. Ifunanya, Dylan F. Arthur

“…The quantitation is based on the selective maximum absorption of ultraviolet radiation by 5-HMF at the wavelength (λmax) of 284 nm using acetonitrile : water (50 : 50 v/v) as the solvent system. The method was established to be specific, precise, and accurate over a concentration range of 0.001 mg/ml–0.02 mg/ml. 5-HMF levels in fruit juice samples (A1–A10) were between 0.132 mg/ml and 0.438 mg/ml, and these levels were shown to be comparable (t = 2.200;p=0.0553) to the contents in the canned malt samples (M1–M10) which were between 0.3140 mg/ml and 0.7170 mg/ml. …”

Using ground granulated blast-furnace slag to improve the self-degradation issue of liquid calcium aluminate cement mortar by Chia-Jung Tsai, Chung-Lin Lin, Chih-Wei Lu, Wen-Shinn Shyu, Leila Fazeldehkordi

“…The findings showed an optimal GGBS addition of 15% resulted in a 42.35% increase in compressive strength and a 31.23% reduction in water absorption. Microscopic structural analyses revealed that GGBS facilitated pozzolanic reactions, leading to the formation of stable Calcium-Aluminosilicate Hydrate (C-A-S-H) and Calcium Silicate Hydrate (C-S-H) gels, which mitigated self-degradation by reducing porosity. …”
