1. Utilization of Wild Fruit in Mozambique – Drying of Vangueria infausta (African medlar)
Abstract : Vangueria infausta (African medlar) is a wild fruit found in southern and central Mozambique. The ripe fruit has a leathery skin enclosing three to five seeds embedded in a soft pulp that tastes like apple. It plays an important role in the diet of the rural population and has the potential for commercial use. READ MORE

2. Solar Assisted Pervaporation : A process for the concentration of fruit juices in membrane pouches with solar energy
Abstract : Drying has been used for thousands of years to preserve foods. One of the first methods used was open air sun drying which exposes foods directly to solar radiation and ambient air. This method is still used today around the world but it remains underdeveloped on a small-scale for two main reasons. READ MORE

5. Solution Chemistry and Morphological Properties for Organic Solar Cells : Exploring Alternative Solvents Using Microgravity and Modelling as Tools
Abstract : Organic photovoltaics (OPVs) have the advantage of the accessibility of energy for all, due to facile and low-cost processing, with its low energy payback time compared to other technologies, therefore promising applications. Research and development have led to power conversion efficiencies of nearly 20% and now catching up to their inorganic counterparts. READ MORE
