Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacteristics of Empty Palm Bunch Fibers as Alternative Pulp MaterialIhak Sumardi, Anne Hadiyane, Alfi Rumidatul, Lili MelaniMaterial characteristics in this research become the focus to see the possibility of oil palm Empty Fruit Bunches (EFB) becoming pulp raw material in the future. The oil palm empty fruit bunch fibers are divided into two parts, namely the inner and outer parts, which are the focus of this research. Tests carried out using the TAPPI standard include testing … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 1 · 8 Jun 2020 · 8,948 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Heavy Metals on the Enzymatic Activity of Haplic Chernozem under Model Experimental ConditionsNatalia Gromakova, Saglara Mandzhieva, Tatiana Minkina et al.The biological activity of soils is an essential parameter of their ecological status. The anthropogenic Heavy Metals (HMs) disturb the normal functioning of soil biota and, hence, the entire soil system. The aim of this work was to estimate the toxicity of loosely bound HM compounds in Haplic Chernozem using parameters of cellulose-degrading and urease activities. Contamination of Haplic Chernozem … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 3 · 23 Jul 2017 · 7,996 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Tropical Grasses on Mine Revegetation for Herbage Supply to Bali Cattle in Sorowako, South Sulawesi, IndonesiaSyamsuddin Hasan, Asmuddin Natsir, Ambo Ako et al.The aim of this study was to evaluate forage quality and absorption of heavy metals in grasses of grazing lands in mine revegetation area. Grazing land was dominated by Brachiaria decumbens (BD), which occupied about 87% in the pasture’ syielding ability of 14.8 Mg DM/ha/year, followed by Centrocema pubescens (CP), Calopogonium mucunoides (CM) and Imperata cylindrica (IC) at 6, 4 … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 2 · 18 May 2016 · 7,481 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractINFLUENCE OF REACTION TEMPERATURE AND REACTION TIME ON PRODUCT FROM HYDROTHERMAL TREATMENT OF BIOMASS RESIDUEJakaphong Kongpanya, Kanokorn Hussaro, Sombat TeekasapThailand is facing with problems associated with biomass residue such as palm oil residues (oil palm trunks, oil palm fronds, empty fruit bunches, shells and fibers). Biomass is promising source for the production of an array of energy-related produts including, liquid, solid and gaseous fuels, heat, chemicals electricity and other materials. Therefore, the use of biomass for energy is not … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 2 Jun 2014 · 7,681 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSecondary Metabolite Changes in Pecan (Carya illinoensis) Tissue Damaged by Euplatypus segnis Chapuis and Associated FungiRamon Alvidrez-Villarreal, Francisco Daniel Hernandez-Castillo, Oswaldo Garcia-Martinez et al.Problem statement: The borer insect Euplatypus segnis Chapuis is associated to Fusarium solani, Fusarium oxysporum, Alternariaalternata and Botryodiplodia theobromae fungi which produce regressive death in pecan (Carya illinoensis) trees. In the Mexico northern have been reported loses estimatesof more than 20% in production by the combination of insects and phyto-pathogen organisms. It also has been observed that some trees can … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2011 · 8,179 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAlkali Pretreatment and Enzymatic Hydrolysis of Cattails from Constructed WetlandsBo Zhang, Abolghasem Shahbazi, Lijun Wang et al.Problem statement: To date, production of liquid fuel, particularly ethanol, has only been economically feasible from food crops that are high in sugar and starch. However, the use of arable land for fuel rather than for food production and the use of a food source for fuel rather than as food have created issues in prices and availability of traditional … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 9,115 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNephrocalcinosis in Female Rats Fed Diets Containing Either Pectin, Galacturonic Acid or GlucoseH.E. Mohamed, A. Alhaidary, A.C. BeynenProblem statement: In our earlier study, dietary pectin has been shown to promote nephrocalcinosis in rats when compared with the feeding of cellulose. It was not known whether this pectin effect relates to its structure or to its monosaccharide component, galacturonic acid. Approach: The effects of dietary pectin, galacturonic acid and glucose on kidney calcification were studied in female rats. … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 14,724 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUtilization of Soft Wood Wastes as a Feed Stock to Produce Fuel EthanolAdnan M. Khalil, Ali F. Al-Shawabkeh, Ayman S. Mazahreh et al.Problem statement: The current research investigated the utilization of soft wood waste as a feedstock to produce a value-added product-fuel ethanol. Approach: The main issue in converting soft wood waste to fuel ethanol is the accessibility of the polysaccharides for breaking down into monosaccharides. This study focused on the use of steam as the pretreatment method. The governing factors for … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,632 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimization of Process Conditions for the Production of Holocellulase by a Bacillus Species Isolated from Nahoon Beach SedimentsEvelyn N. Fatokun, Uchechukwu U. Nwodo, Ademola O. Olaniran, Anthony I. OkohProduction of holocellulase by a newly isolated marine Bacillus species via submerged fermentation technique at varying cultivation conditions was investigated. Enzyme production was optimized by altering one variable per time. Moreover effect of lignocellulosic saccharides in inducing cellulase and xylanase production was also investigated. The 16S ribosomal Deoxyribonucleic Acid (16S rDNA) gene sequence analysis exhibited 98% sequence similarity of the … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 8 Apr 2017 · 8,034 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIDENTIFICATION, MOLECULAR CHARACTERIZATION AND EVALUATION OF SOME RUMINAL BACTERIA THAT CATALYZE AND DEGRADE PLANT CELLULOSIC MATERIALSAhmed A. Mansour, T. S. El-Tayeb, N. E. El-BordenyIn the last few years there was a growing economic awareness about plant wastes and use it in compost production or in feeding of farm animals, some of these wastes are useless and cause a lot of problems in Egyptian environment.
