Economic and Environmental Impact Analysis of Innovative Peeling Methods in the Tomato Processing Industry
Peeling is a key step in the industrial production of canned peeled tomatoes, vital for optimizing efficiency, yield, product quality, waste reduction, and environmental impact. This study presents a comparative assessment of the economic and environmental impacts of adopting innovative peeling technologies, including infrared (IR), ohmic heating-assisted lye (OH-lye), and ultrasound-assisted lye (US-lye) peeling, relative to conventional steam and lye peeling methods. Focusing on a medium-sized Italian tomato processor, the impacts of these methods on productivity, water and energy consumption, wastewater generation, and environmental footprint using Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology, were evaluated. Findings indicated that adopting IR, OH-lye, and US-lye methods enhanced peelability (ease of peeling > 4.5) and increased production capacity by 2.6–9.2%, while reducing solid waste by 16–52% compared to conventional steam and lye methods. LCA results showed IR as the most environmentally favorable method, followed by steam, OH-lye, and US-lye, with conventional lye peeling being the least sustainable. OH-lye and IR methods also significantly reduce water and energy use, while US-lye shows higher demands in these areas. Additionally, OH-lye and IR methods require little or no NaOH, minimizing chemical consumption and wastewater production, which offers notable environmental and cost advantages. Overall, this preliminary study underscores economic and environmental potential for novel peeling technologies, encouraging industry consideration for adoption.

Outcomes of microscope-integrated intraoperative optical coherence tomography-guided center-sparing internal limiting membrane peeling for myopic traction maculopathy: a novel technique
PurposeTo evaluate the outcomes of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with microscope-integrated intraoperative optical coherence tomography (I-OCT)-guided traction removal and center-sparing internal limiting membrane (cs-ILM) peeling.MethodsNine eyes with myopic traction maculopathy as diagnosed on SD-OCT underwent PPV with I-OCT-guided cs-ILM peeling and were evaluated prospectively for resolution of central macular thickness (CMT) and improvement in best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), and complications, if any, were noted. All patients were followed up for more than 9 months.ResultsResolution of the macular retinoschisis was seen in all nine eyes on SD-OCT. At 36 weeks, there was a significant improvement in mean BCVA from the preoperative BCVA (P = 0.0089) along with a reduction in the CMT from 569.77 ± 263.19 to 166.0 ± 43.91 um (P = 0.0039). None of the eyes showed worsening of BCVA or development of full-thickness macular hole in the intraoperative or follow-up period.ConclusionPPV with I-OCT-guided cs-ILM peeling helps in complete removal of traction, resolution of retinoschisis and good functional recovery with low intraoperative and postoperative complications.

Design and research of stripping tool for live-fired cable based on the distribution network
High-voltage live cables are often required to be live-fired in the transformation and maintenance of power grids. The traditional live fire connection operation is mainly manual fire connection, which has great potential safety hazards, the fire connection efficiency is low, and the fire connection quality is uneven. This paper designs and develops a peeling tool based on a 10kV live fire connection operation. In view of the problems of low fire connection efficiency and uneven connection quality of traditional live fire connection tools, hierarchical operation, intelligent control, and instantaneous dynamics simulation based on Anasys Workbench are adopted. The design and development of peeling tools are based on 10kV live connection work. Test experiments show that the live cable stripping tool can realize the live cable stripping operation of 10kV cables and has the characteristics of a high degree of automation and stable fire connection quality.

The preparation and bonding property of PET-steel composite sheet with the interlayer of PU film
The PET-steel composite sheet with the interlayer of PU film has been produced, and the effect of interlayer thickness on the interface bonding strength has been researched. The experimental results indicate that the PET-PU-steel composite sheet would have a good interface bonding strength, which would decrease gradually and finally become stable as the PU film thickness increases. There would always be some residual PU film on the steel surface after the peeling test, no matter what the PU film thickness is, and the interface failure mode would always be the mixed failure mode. However, the quantity of residual PU film on the steel surface following the peeling test decreases progressively and eventually stabilizes as the thickness of the PU film increases.

Impact of Mechanical and Manual Peeling on the Volatile Profile of White Pepper (Piper nigrum L.)
Mechanical peeling is more efficient and environmentally friendly compared to manual peeling. However, comparative studies on the quality of mechanically peeled pepper and manually peeled pepper are limited. This study utilized GC-MS to investigate the effects of immersion, steaming, and peeling machinery speed on the volatile composition of white pepper. A total of thirteen monoterpenes and seven sesquiterpenes were detected, with 3-carene, D-limonene, and sabinene being the most abundant monoterpenoids and β-caryophyllene, δ-elemene, and α-copaene being the most abundant sesquiterpenes. The total volatiles increased with longer steaming times and higher peeling machinery speeds. Compared to manual peeling or steaming followed by mechanical peeling, the volatile content of pepper was higher when using mechanical peeling alone. Additionally, relative odor activity values showed that 3-carene and D-limonene were the main contributors to flavor, with 3-carene, β-caryophyllene, and α-copaene being key volatiles responsible for flavor distinctions. This research aims to provide theoretical support for developing a superior and environmentally friendly mechanical method to replace manual labor.

Fluidity Investigation of Pure Al and Al-Si Alloys
Fluidity tests of pure aluminum 1070 and Al-Si alloys with Si contents of up to 25% were conducted using a die cast machine equipped with a spiral die. The effects of the channel gap, die temperature, and injection speed on the fluidity were investigated. When the channel gap was small (0.5 mm), the flow length of the 1070 was minimized, and the fluidity increased monotonically at a gradual rate with increasing Si content. In contrast, larger gaps yielded convex fluidity–Si content curves. Additionally, heating the die had less of an influence on the fluidity of the 1070 than on that of the Al-Si alloy. These results are discussed in the context of the peeling of the solidification layer from the die based on the thicknesses of foils and strips cast by melt spinning and roll casting, respectively. At lower Si contents, heat shrinkage was greater and the latent heat was lower. When the heat shrinkage was greater, the solidification layer began to peel earlier, and the heat transfer between the solidification layer and the die became smaller. As a result, the fluidity of the 1070 was greatest when the channel gap was 0.8 mm.
