Analysis of volatiles from the New Zealand scented plant - Mairehau (Leionema nudum)
(Auckland University of Technology, 2013)New Zealand native scented plants may possess potential industry value as perfume ingredients. To provide the overall impression of New Zealand scented plant resource and to guide the future researches in this area, this ... -
Characterisation of volatile compounds from the leaves of six Pittosporum species; an instrumental and sensory evaluation
(Auckland University of Technology, 2013)Six Pittosporum species native to New Zealand, P. cornifolium, P. crassifolium, P. eugenioides, P. kirkii, P. tenuifolium, and P. umbellatum, were investigated in this study. The 88 volatile compounds released from their ... -
Chemical analysis of extracts of New Zealand woods in wine
(Auckland University of Technology, 2007)Background: Reliance on a restricted range of grape varieties and flavour profiles is potentially a risky situation for sustainability of the New Zealand wine industry. Competitors in other countries may offer very similar ... -
Exposure assessment of traffic-related pm10 pollution in outdoor play areas of early childhood centres
(Auckland University of Technology, 2008)This thesis seeks to assess the exposure of children in outdoor play areas of early childhood centres in Auckland City to traffic-related PM10 pollution. An estimated 400 premature deaths occur each year in New Zealand due ... -
Immobilisation of metal in quartz sands by ball milling
(Auckland University of Technology, 2008)Previous work has shown that when inorganic compounds are milled with quartz in a high energy ball mill the elements are sequestered into the quartz matrix and cannot be easily recovered by simple extraction methods. In ... -
Synthesis of sulphated transition metal oxides supported on mesoporous silica using direct impregnation method and their catalytic activities
(Auckland University of Technology, 2011)The purpose of the present study is to further develop a method of direct impregnation in the preparation of sulfated titania, zirconia and ferric oxides supported on the mesoporous silica molecular sieve (MCM-41) as acid ... -
The rates of formation of carbon and gases from high energy ball milling of organic compounds
(Auckland University of Technology, 2011)Mechanochemical reactions induced by high energy ball milling have been known as a method of compound destruction but the mechanics behind the destruction has not been well understood. This study focuses on reactions induced ... -
Volatile compounds isolated and identified from Kohia (Passiflora tetrandra)
(Auckland University of Technology, 2013)Plants biosynthesise and release a large diversity of volatile compounds. The dominant types of these volatiles can be divided into three categories: carbohydrate-derived compounds, fatty acid derived compounds and amino ...
