Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Effective Passive Solar Dryer for Thin Layer Drying of Poultry ManureA. E. Ghaly, K. N. MacDonaldAnimal and poultry manures have been recognized for centuries as organic fertilizers providing essential nutrients to crops and improving soil structure due to their large input of organic matter. Increasing demand for poultry and egg products has led to intensification of the poultry rearing process, resulting in large amounts of poultry manure. Drying can be used to reduce the environmental … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 4 Aug 2012 · 10,317 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNutrient Composition of Dandelions and its Potential as Human FoodAbdel E. Ghaly, Deepika Dave, Nesreen MahmoudTwo thirds of the world’s populations are suffering from protein malnutrition and about 36 million people die every year due to hunger. Expansion of present agriculture practices into marginal land is not expected to solve the problem of increasing the food supply. New methods of feeding the ever increasing world population must be developed. The aim of the study was … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 22 Jun 2012 · 10,956 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDecolorization of Distillery Effluent by Thermotolerant Bacillus subtilisSoni Tiwari, Rajeeva Gaur, Priyanka Rai, Ashutosh TripathiProblem statement: Ethanol production from sugarcane molasses generate large volume of effluent containing high Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) and Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) along with melanoidin, a color compound generally produced by “Millard reaction”. Melanodin is a recalcitrant compound degraded by specific microorganisms having ability to produce mono and di-oxygenases peroxidases, phenoxidases and laccases, are mainly responsible for degradation of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 6 · 14 Mar 2012 · 7,652 accessesView PDFCite
