A method for imparting flame retardancy to a substrate material. The method comprises adding to a substrate material a flame retardant composition. The flame retardant composition comprises at least one flame retardant salt, a nitrogen-containing compound, and optionally water. The at least one flame retardant salt comprises an ammonium salt of phosphoric acid. The ammonium salt of phosphoric acid comprises water soluble ammonium polyphosphate (APP). The water soluble ammonium polyphosphate has a total nitrogen as N from about 5 to about 15 weight percent, and a total phosphorus as P.sub.2O.sub.5 from about 30 to about 40 weight percent, based on the total weight of the ammonium polyphosphate (APP).

An improved dry grind system and method for producing a sugar stream from grains or similar carbohydrate sources and/or residues, such as for biochemical production, with front end oil separation. Prior to or after saccharification, oil can be removed from a sugar/carbohydrate stream. After saccharification and prior to a sugar conversion process, the sugar/carbohydrate stream includes a desired Dextrose Equivalent (DE) where DE describes the degree of conversion of starch to dextrose can be produced, with such sugar stream being available for biochemical production, e.g., alcohol production, or other processes. In addition, the systems and methods also can involve the removal of certain grain components, e.g., corn kernel components, including protein and/or fiber. In other words, oil separation and sugar stream production occurs on the front end of the system and method.

Disclosed in the present invention are a starch-embedded aroma substance microcapsule and a preparation method therefor. The method comprises: performing degreasing treatment on starch, gelatinizing the starch at high temperature, sequentially adding aroma substances having different molecular sizes into the starch paste, and compounding at high temperature; and finally, cooling, centrifuging, washing, and drying to obtain an aroma substance microcapsule. The total embedding rate of the aroma substances in the obtained microcapsule can reach 46.64%. The present invention is simple and convenient in process, and easy in condition control, does not need large special equipment, and has low cost and high efficiency.

A container and a preparation method thereof are provided. A material forming the container includes at least two types of oxidized nanocelluloses interlaced with each other, the at least two types of oxidized nanocelluloses being configured to have different degrees of expansion after absorbing moisture in a same environment. In a dry condition, the at least two types of oxidized nanocelluloses do not expand, so the structure of the container is relatively dense and the air permeability is poor, which can sufficiently maintain moisture of an article stored in the container. In case the article itself or other reasons cause high humidity, different oxidized nanocelluloses of the container expand after absorbing moisture, so that gaps between different oxidized nanocelluloses becomes larger, and the air permeability of the container becomes better, which can discharge excessive moisture, enabling the container to self-adjust the air permeability based on humidity.
