Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReduction of Isolation Period of Coal Humic AcidsClaudia Hui Hui Chen, Osumanu Haruna Ahmed, Nik Muhamad Ab. Majid, Mohamadu Boyie JallohProblem statement: The isolation of Humic Acids (HA) from coal is laborious, costly and time consuming. The extraction and fractionation periods of HA vary from 4 h to 7 days. Fractionation period ranges from 12-24 h. However, most studies use 24 h as extraction period and also 24 h as fractionation period. This study was conducted to investigate whether the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2009 · 7,241 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSimple and Rapid Method of Isolating Humic Acids from Tropical Peat Soils (Saprists)Shamsuddin Rosliza, Osumanu Haruna Ahmed, Kasim Susilawati et al.Problem Statement: The isolation (extraction, fractionation and purification) of humic acids (HA) from soils is laborious, time consuming and expensive. The extraction, fractionation and purification periods of these substances vary from 12 h-7 days. In order to facilitate production of HA at competitive cost, this study was conducted to investigate whether a simple and rapid procedure could be developed for … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 May 2009 · 8,558 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntibacterial and Antioxidant Activities of Typhonium Flagelliforme (Lodd.) Blume TuberSyam Mohan, Ahmad Bustamam Abdul, Siddig Ibrahim Abdel Wahab et al.Problem Statement: Multiple drug resistance in human pathogenic micro organisms has developed due to indiscriminate use of modern antimicrobial drugs generally used in the management of infectious diseases. This increases the importance of exploiting the natural sources instead modern drugs. Approach: The antibacterial and antioxidant activity of different extracts from of Typhonium flagelliforme (L.) Blume tuber (family: Araceae) commonly called … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 10,427 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetermination of Minimal Duration Essential for Isolation of Humic Acids From Soils in Forest Restoration ProgrammesMohd Ramzan Nur Hanisah, Osumanu Haruna Ahmed, Kasim Susilawati et al.This study was conducted to investigate whether a simple and rapid method could be developed for extracting, fractionating and purifying soil HA in forest rehabilitation programmes. Humic acids from 10 g of soil were extracted with 100 mL of 0.10 M NaOH. Different extraction periods (4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24 h) were tested. Samples were centrifuged (16,211 G … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 8,176 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRESISTANT STARCH AND BIOACTIVE CONTENTS OF UNRIPE BANANA FLOUR AS INFLUENCED BY HARVESTING PERIODS AND ITS APPLICATIONAnuchita Moongngarm, Wanassanun Tiboonbun, Mai Sanpong et al.Recently, various innovative products from unripe banana flour have been reported as it is high in resistant starch and other important compounds. The harvesting period of the unripe banana fruit is one of the key factors affecting the quality of the unripe banana flour in terms of resistant starch and bioactive compound content.
