Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Elicitors and Precursors on the Synthesis of Anthocyanin in Grape Vitis vinifera Cell CulturesNay Min Min Thaw Saw, Heidi Riedel, Onur Kütük et al.Problem statement: Nowadays, plant cell suspension cultures and immobilized cells are being utilized for the higher yield and quality of the products than extraction of whole plants. Anthocyanins are compounds found in plants that have powerful antioxidant properties. They also provide some of the coloring or pigment of plants, flowers and fruits. Anthocyanin from grape cell cultures can be used … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Oct 2010 · 15,277 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Replacement of Soybean meal by Dried Tomato Pomace on Rumen Fermentation and Nitrogen Metabolism in Beef CattleC. Yuangklang, K. Vasupen, S. Wongsuthavas et al.Problem statement: Dried tomato pomace may be considered as an alternative feedstuff in ruminant nutrition. The limited literature data that are available so far may be interpreted as indirect and suggestive evidence for diminished ruminal fermentation and bacterial synthesis after substitution of dried tomato pomace for soybean meal. Approach: Rumen-fistulated beef steers were used to address the questions whether the … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 8,867 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractToxicological Response of the Green Alga Chlorella vulgaris, to Some Heavy MetalsE. Afkar, H. Ababna, A. A. FathiProblems statement: The disturbance of aquatic ecosystems provoked by heavy metals pollution from industrial and domestic sources, has as consequence the loss of biological diversity, as well as increased bioaccumulation and magnification of toxicants in the food chain. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of some heavy metals on some physiological activities of Chlorella vulgaris beyerinck … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2010 · 10,778 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractControlling the Morphology of Nano-Hybrid MaterialsAbdullah I. Al JaafariProblem statement: It is known that layer double hydroxide is one of the nano ordered layered compounds and possesses plate-like morphology if carefully crystallized. Approach: In this study, Co-Sn LDH consisting of divalent and tetravalent cations was prepared with new morphology. XRD patterns of the prepared Co-Sn LDH showed that the interlayer spacing of the LDH was 0.78 nm and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2010 · 7,886 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Rumen-Protected Methionine on Dairy Performance and Amino Acid Metabolism in Lactating CowsW.R. Yang, H. Sun, Q.Y. Wang et al.Problem statement: Free Met as one of the most limiting AA in dairy cows would be mostly degraded in the rumen. This study was to determine the effect of different levels of Rumen-Protected Met (RPMet) on dairy performance and serum amino acid metabolism. Approach: Thirty-six Holstein cows in similar condition were randomly assigned to six experimental treatments with six replicates … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2010 · 8,262 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCo-Digestion of Palm Oil Mill Effluent and Refined Glycerin Wash Water for Chemical Oxygen Demand Removal and Methane ProductionA. Sulaiman, M. R. Zakaria, M. A. Hassan et al.Problem statement: Refined Glycerin Wash Water (RGWW) from the oleochemical industry contains high Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and requires proper treatment before disposal. Unfortunately the wash water also contains high concentration of sodium chloride (NaCl) that could cause inhibition to the normal biological treatment process. However, there is feasibility of co-digesting the RGWW and Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) for … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2009 · 7,936 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCadmium Induced Changes in Metabolic Function of Mitochondrial Isolated from Potato Tissue (Solanum tuberosum L.)Chagra Ali, Djebar Mohammed Réda, Rouabhi Rachid, Berrebbah HouriaProblem statement: Cadmium is highly toxic at low concentrations, but the mechanism of its toxicity is still not understood particularly at the cellular and subcellular level. Approach: In this study we examined the effects of cadmium on the oxidophosphorylation properties of mitochondria isolated from potatoes. Results: Cadmium strongly disturbed the respiratory metabolism of mitochondria isolated especially in the transfer of … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Aug 2009 · 7,838 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProximate Analysis of Dragon Fruit (Hylecereus polyhizus)Ruzainah Ali Jaafar, Ahmad Ridhwan Bin Abdul Rahman, Nor Zaini Che Mahmod, R. VasudevanProblem statement: Dragon fruit (Hylecereus polyhizus) is well known for the rich nutrient contents and it is commercially available worldwide for improving many health problems. Several studies show the proximity value of red pitaya fruits but the nutrient composition of the stem has not been extensively studied. Approach: This study was carried out to measure the proximate analysis of moisture … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2009 · 14,057 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBio-oils from Pyrolysis of Oil Palm Empty Fruit BunchesMohamad Azri Sukiran, Chow Mee Chin, Nor Kartini Abu BakarProblem Statement: The palm oil industry generates an abundance of oil palm biomass such as the mesocarp fibre, shell, empty fruit bunch (EFB), frond, trunk and palm oil mill effluent (POME). For 80 million tonnes of fresh fruit bunch (FFB) processed last year, the amount of oil palm biomass was more than 25 million tones. The objectives of this study … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 May 2009 · 11,184 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Higher Sludge Recycling Rate on Anaerobic Treatment of Palm Oil Mill Effluent in a Semi-Commercial Closed Digester for Renewable EnergyAlawi Sulaiman, Zainuri Busu, Meisam Tabatabaei et al.Problem statement: A 500 m3 semi-commercial closed anaerobic digester was constructed for Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) treatment and methane gas capture for renewable energy.
