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 PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigating the Role of Fly Ash and Silica Fume in the Cement Hydration ProcessLucas Suarez, Taher M. Abu-Lebdeh, Miguel Picornell, Sameer A. HamoushThis research work investigates the effect of fly ash and silica fume on cement paste hydration. Percentages of each additive were selected to replace the cement by volume to be studied at five different ages using water curing and vacuum curing. These percentages were compared alongside a controlled cement paste without additives. Testing was carried out on 350 samples. Analysis … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 12 Mar 2016 · 8,640 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMeat Spoilage Mechanisms and Preservation Techniques: A Critical ReviewD. Dave, Abdel E. GhalyProblem statement: Extremely perishable meat provides favorable growth condition for various microorganisms. Meat is also very much susceptible to spoilage due to chemical and enzymatic activities. The breakdown of fat, protein and carbohydrates of meat results in the development of off-odors, off-flavor and slim formation which make the meat objectionable for human consumption. It is, therefore, necessary to control meat … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 2 Nov 2011 · 54,798 accessesView PDFCite
