Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAsymptotic Giant Branch Stars Migration from the Central of the Milky Way Galaxy to our Sun’s Birthplace and its Relation with Silicon Carbide GrainsAhmad Hashem AbdelhadiSilicon carbide grains found in meteorites are peculiar in their age and isotopic ratios; they formed before the Sun was born and their isotopic signature indicates that they come from a different galactic region. This study aims to seek a possible paradigm for such richness and peculiarity through Monte Carlo simulation of scattering of Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars off … …Space Science International, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 20 Jun 2013 · 7,053 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAdhesion of Probiotic Bacteria to Resistant Rice StarchGhalia Salem, Zaiton Hassan, Maryam AbubakrResistant starch as prebiotics can be combined with probiotics to increase their survival during processing of food products. In present study Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) which, isolated from (yoghurt, banana and human breast milk) were screened for their probiotic properties and evaluated for the adhesion properties to Rice Resistance Starch (RRS). 26% of the isolates (10/39) overcame the stress to … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 5 Apr 2013 · 6,748 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleChemical Compositions and Resistant Starch Content in Starchy FoodsAnuchita MoongngarmResistant Starch (RS) is one of nature’s most interesting bioactive compounds. There is a wide variety of starchy food plants in Thailand that are good sources of RS, but they have not been well studied. As such, this study was carried out to investigate the potential food source of RS. Twenty-two promising food plants were selected. The samples included (1) … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 28 Mar 2013 · 15,775 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMicrowave Assisted Bioethanol Production from Sago Starch by Co-Culturing of Ragi Tapai and Saccharomyces CerevisiaeN. Saifuddin, Refal HussainProblem statement: Environmental issues such as global warming and recent events throughout the world, including the shortage of petroleum crude oil, the sharp increase in the cost of oil and the political instability of some crude oil producing countries, have demonstrated the vulnerability of the present sources for liquid fuel. These situations have created great demand for ethanol from fermentation … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 18 Jul 2011 · 7,898 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe So-Called Moderate Justices on the Rehnquist Court: The Role of Stare Decisis in Salient and Closely-Divided CasesPaul Douglas FooteProblem statement: A major question that has puzzled political scientists is what factors influence the decisions of US Supreme Court justices. Despite 20th Century statutory reforms that have led to a fundamental weakening of institutional cohesion on the Supreme Court, the norm of stare decisis continues to serve as a constraint to moderate decision-makers under certain external conditions. Evaluate voting … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,147 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffect of Methyl Cellulose Coating and Pre-Treatment on Oil Uptake, Moisture Retention and Physical Properties of Deep-Fat Fried Starchy Dough SystemJihad M. Quasem, Ayman Suliman Mazahreh, Khaled Abu-Alruz et al.Problem statement: The influence of edible methyl cellulose coating and blanching pre-treatment in reducing oil uptake and moisture loss during frying of starchy dough system was investigated. Approach: Potato dough cylinder of 60 mm length and 22 mm diameter was used as a model food system. Samples were coated with 0.5% methyl cellulose film-forming solution and uncoated samples were used … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 8,464 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA Review on Physicochemical and Thermorheological Properties of Sago StarchA. Mohamed, B. Jamilah, K.A. Abbas et al.This study was a part of a research project aiming to investigate the texture characteristics of protein - starch interaction in fish based product keropok lekor. Accordingly, the current review study focused on some physicochemical (molecular weight, viscosity, chemical composition and swelling power) and thermorheological (gelatinization, retrogradation and viscoelsticity) characteristics of sago starch alone and in mixtures with other ingredients … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 9,639 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAmphoteric Starch in Simultaneous Process Preparation with Box-Behnken Design for Optimal ConditionsSopa Cansee, Juntanee Uriyapongson, Commueng Watyotha et al.Cassava starch was chemically modified to produce an amphoteric starch. The amphoteric starch was prepared in a simultaneous process which was evaluated in relation to four factors: temperature (45-55 °C), 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride (CHPTAC, 4-12%) and sodium tripolyphosphate (STP, 2-8%) concentrations, and reaction time (2-6 h). The extent of amphoteric starch produced was determined by the degree of substitution (DS) of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2008 · 7,523 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePhysiochemical Properties of Sago Starch Modified by Acid Treatment in AlcoholP.H. Yiu, S.L. Loh, A. Rajan et al.Sago starch is usually chemically modified to overcome and improve the unstable properties of native sago starch during processing. In this study, sago starch was treated in hydrochloric acid in the presence of methanol, ethanol and 2-propanol at 450C for 1 hour. Granule size, granular structure and solubility of the modified starch were investigated. Results showed that recovery yields of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2008 · 8,909 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSynthesis, Characterization and Saponification of Poly (AN)-Starch Composites and Properties of their HydrogelsA. Hashem, M. A. Afifi, E. A. El-Alfy, A. HebeishHydrogels based on saponified products of poly (acrylonitrile, AN)-starch composites were prepared, characterized and their water abosrbency properties examined. The term composite refered to the resultant products of polymerizatin of AN with starch in presence of ceric ammonium nitrate (CAN) as initiator, that is the composite consists of poly(AN)-starch graft copolymer, homopoly(AN) , oxidized starch and unreacted starch. Thus AN … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2005 · 7,577 accessesView PDFCite
