Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhysico-Chemical Characteristics of Date Seed Oil Grown in SudanRehab Salih Mahmoud Abdalla, Alsheikh AlGilani Albasheer, Abdel Rahim Mohamed ELHussein, ELrasheed Ahmed GadkariemProblem statement: Studies were conducted on the physical-chemical properties of Sudanese date seed oil extracted from two date palm cultivars (Phoenix dactylifera L.) ALBarakawi and Alqundeila. The extracted oil from ALBarakawi seeds weighed 6.833% w/w oil, Alqundeila oil extracted weighed 5.064% w/w. Approach: The physical properties of ALBarakawi oil were: viscosity: 17cp, refractive Index: 1.444, density: 0.9116 g cm-3 color: … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 7 · 5 May 2012 · 9,500 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiochemical Studies of Lipase from Germinating Oil Seeds (Glycine max)P. P. Gadge, S. D. Madhikar, J. N. Yewle et al.Problem statement: Lipase is one of the important enzymes in food, pharmaceutical, detergent and biofuels industries. Search for the lipase with distinct features, possibly from germinating seeds, is of interest for industrial applications. Approach: The lipase produced by soybean oil seeds was partially purified and characterized in terms of the optimal pH and temperature for activity as well as substrate … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 19 Jan 2012 · 9,703 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
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMechanisms of Anti-Cancer Effects of Vernonia amygdalina Leaf ExtractUtoh-Nedosa Uchechukwu AnastasiaProblem statement: Vernonia amygdalina (V. amygdalina) has been shown to have cancer cell inhibition and cytotoxic effects. Approach: This study discusses the multi-faceted and multi-linked mechanisms by which cancer tissue inhibition and destruction is achieved by V. amygdalina leaf extract and powder (subsequently called V. amygdalina Extract). Cancer cell inhibition by V. amygdalina is suggested to occur through inhibition of … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 26 Oct 2011 · 9,090 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Replacement of Soybean meal by Dried Tomato Pomace on Rumen Fermentation and Nitrogen Metabolism in Beef CattleC. Yuangklang, K. Vasupen, S. Wongsuthavas et al.Problem statement: Dried tomato pomace may be considered as an alternative feedstuff in ruminant nutrition. The limited literature data that are available so far may be interpreted as indirect and suggestive evidence for diminished ruminal fermentation and bacterial synthesis after substitution of dried tomato pomace for soybean meal. Approach: Rumen-fistulated beef steers were used to address the questions whether the … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 8,867 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Supplemental Fat to Low Metabolizable Energy Diets on Cholesterol and Triglyceride Contents of Broiler MeatMansour Rezaei, Atena MonfarediProblem statement: Modern diets high in Saturated Fatty Acids (SFA) and low in Monounsaturated (MUFA) and Polyunsaturated (PUFA) fatty acids are mostly blamed for the increased incidence of cardiovascular diseases. Since dietary fatty acids are absorbed by monogastric animals and deposited in their tissues without significant modification, considerable potential exists for the manipulation of the fatty acid profile of poultry … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,019 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCo-Digestion of Palm Oil Mill Effluent and Refined Glycerin Wash Water for Chemical Oxygen Demand Removal and Methane ProductionA. Sulaiman, M. R. Zakaria, M. A. Hassan et al.Problem statement: Refined Glycerin Wash Water (RGWW) from the oleochemical industry contains high Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and requires proper treatment before disposal. Unfortunately the wash water also contains high concentration of sodium chloride (NaCl) that could cause inhibition to the normal biological treatment process. However, there is feasibility of co-digesting the RGWW and Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) for … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2009 · 7,936 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCadmium Induced Changes in Metabolic Function of Mitochondrial Isolated from Potato Tissue (Solanum tuberosum L.)Chagra Ali, Djebar Mohammed Réda, Rouabhi Rachid, Berrebbah HouriaProblem statement: Cadmium is highly toxic at low concentrations, but the mechanism of its toxicity is still not understood particularly at the cellular and subcellular level. Approach: In this study we examined the effects of cadmium on the oxidophosphorylation properties of mitochondria isolated from potatoes. Results: Cadmium strongly disturbed the respiratory metabolism of mitochondria isolated especially in the transfer of … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Aug 2009 · 7,838 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Higher Sludge Recycling Rate on Anaerobic Treatment of Palm Oil Mill Effluent in a Semi-Commercial Closed Digester for Renewable EnergyAlawi Sulaiman, Zainuri Busu, Meisam Tabatabaei et al.Problem statement: A 500 m3 semi-commercial closed anaerobic digester was constructed for Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) treatment and methane gas capture for renewable energy. During the start-up operation period, the Volatile Fatty Acids (VFA) accumulation could not be controlled and caused instability on the system. Approach: A settling tank was installed and sludge was recycled as to provide a … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 9,210 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDegradation of Corn Oil Wastes by Fenton Reaction and Under Mildly Basic Media in the Presence of Oxidants Assisted with Sun LightJosefina Vergara Sánchez, Susana Silva Martínez, Maria del Refugio Trejo HernándezThe degradation of water soluble corn oil wastes was carried out by Fenton reaction and also under mildly basic media in the presence of oxidants, such as hydrogen peroxide and persulfate, assisted with solar light. The degradation efficiency was obtained by analysis of chemical oxygen demand, carbon dioxide and gas chromatography. Over 90% of both chemical oxygen demand abatement and … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2008 · 6,979 accessesView PDFCite
