Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudy of Supercritical Coal Extraction in Toluene Containing FluidsPeter Nikolayevich Kuznetsov, Svetlana Mikhaylovna Kolesnikova, Ludmila Ivanovna Kuznetsova, Anastasia Valerievna KazbanovaThe conversion of brown coals and sapropelic coal in toluene containing mixtures with co-solvents (water, ethanol and tetralin) was studied under sub- and supercritical conditions within the temperature range of 375-550°C and at pressures from 7 to 40 MPa. It was found that the extent of coal extraction in the toluene solvent medium, at 400°C, was significantly increased by the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 1 Mar 2016 · 7,615 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDistribution of Polyphenol Oxidase in some Cruciferae VegetablesAndi Nur Faidah Rahman, Februadi Bastian, Jumriah Langkong, Shuji FujitaEnzymatic oxidation of polyphenolic compounds in damaged tissue of many fruits and vegetables induced undesirable browning as results in decreased marketability of products. A new type of polyphenol oxidase (PPO) that is “Phloroglucinol Oxidase (PhO)” have been reported in turnip and cabbage, and the purified enzymes also had strong peroxidase (POD) activity. Distribution of PPO from different plant source of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2016 · 8,099 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigating Bio-Char as Flow Modifier and Water Treatment Agent for Sustainable Pavement DesignRenaldo Walters, Shamim A. Begum, Elham H. Fini, Taher M. Abu-LebdehThe life expectancy of Asphalt Binder (AB) has been negatively impacted by the harsh bombardment of Ultraviolet (UV) rays. UV rays cause asphalt to oxidize faster, which results in the deterioration of asphalt's rheological characteristics that can lead to pavement distresses. This paper investigates merits of bio-char to improve asphalt aging susceptibility by blending one control binder (PG 64-22) and … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 22 Apr 2015 · 9,055 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMANGANESE SPECIATION IN SELECTED AGRICULTURAL SOILS OF PENINSULAR MALAYSIAJ. Habibah, J. Khairiah, B.S. Ismail, M.D. KadderiManganese speciation in selected agricultural soils of Peninsular Malaysia is discussed in this study. Manganese concentration in the Easily Leacheable and Ion Exchangeable (ELFE), Acid Reducible (AR), Organic Oxidizable (OO) and Resistant (RR) fractions of soils developed on weathered rocks, soils of mixed nature, alluvium and peat deposits are described. The total manganese concentration in soils developed on weathered rocks … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 7 Apr 2014 · 7,497 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNATURAL ANTIOXIDANT INGREDIENT FROM BY-PRODUCTS OF FRUITSG. S. El-Baroty, M. F. Khalil, S. H.A. MostafaThe contents of total phenolics compounds and their phenolic constituents were quantified in organic and aqueous of four varieties (Zebdia, Sukkari, taimor and Hindi) of mango (Mangifera indica L.), seeds pulp and kernel, one varieties of pomegranate (Punica ranatum L., peel) and peanut (Arachis hypogaea L., Giza 6, shell) by-products. The antioxidant activities of all by products extracts were assessed … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 22 Mar 2014 · 8,173 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Study on Bioelectricity Production by the Synergistic Action of Bacillus tequilensis DMR-5 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa DMR-3 Isolated from Rumen FluidJothinathan Deepika, Sundaram Meignanalakshmi, Wilson Richard ThilagarajThe present study focuses on the bioelectricity production from pure culture of Bacillus tequilensis DMR-5 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa DMR-3. Both the cultures were isolated from the anodic biofilm of pre-run MFC’s with rumen fluid as anodic substance. They were checked for the power production for 10 days both as pure isolates and co-culture. Bacillus tequilensis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa produced 250 … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 5 · 29 Oct 2013 · 6,950 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparative Extraction of Pectic and Polyphenols from Mexican Lime Pomace and BagasseDaniela Sanchez-Aldana, Cristobal Noe Aguilar, Guadalupe Virginia Nevarez-Moorillon, Juan Carlos Contreras EsquivelMexican lime bagasse and pomace are rich in pectin and they also represent an important source of value-added compounds such as polyphenols. Two different options for the combined recovery of pectin and phenolic compounds from Mexican lime bagasse and pomace, two byproducts of industrial lime processing, were developed. Conventional and microwave-assisted extraction methods were used. All pectic extracts presented a … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 29 Oct 2013 · 7,811 accessesView PDFCite
