Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnzymatic Hydrolysis of Pretreated Kenaf using a Recombinant Xylanase: Effects of Reaction Conditions for Optimum Hemicellulose HydrolysisNur Izyan Wan Azelee, Jamaliah Md Jahim, Ahmad Fauzi Ismail et al.An efficient hemicellulose hydrolysis has now become a crucial step for xylooligosaccharides production for food additives and nutraceuticals industries. In this study, xylanase hydrolysis of pretreated hemicellulosic kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus) for substantial hemicellulose hydrolysis was demonstrated. Experiments were performed primarily to investigate the effect of several critical reaction conditions towards the enzymatic hydrolysis of the pre-treated kenaf. The effects of … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 28 Apr 2016 · 7,816 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Study of Residual Oils Recovered from Spent Bleaching Earth: Their Characteristics and ApplicationsLoh Soh Kheang, Cheng Sit Foon, Choo Yuen May, Ma Ah NganThis study described the extraction of residual oils of spent bleaching earth (SBE) from palm oil refining industry, the properties and applications of residual oils obtained there from. Residual oils of SBE (acid-activated, WAC and neutral, NC) were recovered via solvent and supercritical-fluid (SC-CO2) extraction. The yields of residual oils recovered from WAC were higher than those from NC using … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2006 · 9,231 accessesView PDF Cite

EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractRe-Paving the Road Built by Chemistry: A Challenge to Biochemistry and BiotechnologyAlberto A. IglesiasBiochemistry’s birth can be placed at the end of the nineteenth century, when Eduard Buchner made a clever interpretation of experimental observations on the generation of gas bubbles after addition (the original purpose was preservation) of sucrose to a yeast crude extract (Lagerkvist, 2005). Intelligently, Buchner concluded that the disaccharide had been fermented by broken cells’ suspension to produce CO2, … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 26 Jan 2015 · 7,461 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImplications of Method Chosen for Analysis of Fatty Acids in Meat: A ReviewLivia Facuri Araujo Macedo, Ellen Cristina Quirino Lacerda, Roberio Rodrigues Silva et al.The influence of the beef Fatty Acid (FA) profile on human health, has become a recurring concern. For an analysis of the lipid composition of food, it is necessary that the complex lipids be quantified in a suitable form for subsequent analysis of their composition by gas chromatography. The choice of appropriate methods of lipid extraction and esterification of fatty … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 9 Jul 2012 · 8,633 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Dietary Protein and Lysine on Performance and Carcass Yield of TurkeysF. Peñaranda-Ali, R. Santos-Ricalde, L. Sarmiento-Franco et al.Problem statement: There is a concern related to loss of nitrogen to the environment from animal manure and the high cost of the protein supplement. Thus, the current study was undertaken to determine the effect of reduction of CP and increased of lysine on growth and carcass yield in turkeys. Approach: A factorial experiment was carried out with commercial turkeys … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 7,637 accessesView PDF Cite
