Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEnhanced Antibacterial Activity of Blended Essential Oils against Staphylococcus Aureus and Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus AureusMin-Gi Kwon, Ji-Hyuk Kang, Jae Kyung KimWe aimed to evaluate the antibacterial effects of four blended and four single essential oils on the gram-positive bacterium Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA). Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) testing was performed using disk diffusion and broth microdilution methods according to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute criteria. The blended essential oils exhibited more powerful antibacterial activity … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 16 Apr 2026 · 1,594 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleComparative Evaluation of Synergistic Antibacterial Effects in Blended Essential Oil against Gram-Positive and Gram-Negative PathogensMin-Gi Kwon, Jae Kyung KimThe rising emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria has heightened the search for novel antibiotic agents. Essential Oils (EOs) are complex combinations of volatile organic compounds generated by plants, with many exhibiting significant antimicrobial properties. This study evaluates the antibacterial movement of single and blended EOs against representative gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and Methicillin-Resistant S. aureus (MRSA) and gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 21, Issue 2 · 7 Jul 2025 · 5,481 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsComparative Antioxidant Effects of Essential Oil Blends and Individual Oils Using the DPPH Radical-Scavenging AssaySunghun Jang, Jae Kyung KimOxidative stress is recognized as a major contributor to conditions such as cancer, aging, and inflammation. Consequently, there is a growing interest in the use of natural antioxidants, particularly essential oils, owing to their safety benefits and potent antioxidant properties. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antioxidant effects of four essential oil blends (Refresh, Zest, Revitalizing, and … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 21, Issue 3 · 5 Jan 2026 · 2,648 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimized Biodiesel Production from jatropha curcas oilHaruna Musa, Daniel Eric, Alkhairu Hassan et al.In this study, a mathematical model for the trans-esterification reaction of jatropha curcas seed Oil (JCO) was developed using Response Surface Methodology(RSM) in terms of operational variables such as temperature (50 to 80°C), catalyst concentration (0.7 to 1% in relation to oil mass) and methanol/oil ratio (3:1-9:1), at fixed reaction time (90 min) and mixing intensity. Biodiesel was produced by … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 12 Oct 2021 · 7,286 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMethanol-Based Transesterification Optimization of Waste Used Cooking Oil over Potassium Hydroxide CatalystCholada Komintarachat, Sathaporn ChuepengProblem statement: Waste used Cooking Oil (WCO) harmfully affected to environment and human’s health can be a feedstock for producing biodiesel. Approach: The conversion of Fatty Acid and Free Fatty Acid (FFA) of WCO with 15.0% w/w FFA content to biodiesel was studied through transesterification reactions. This work investigated the effects of alcohol and catalyst quantity, reaction time and temperature … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2010 · 9,739 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOil Palm Biomass As Potential Substitution Raw Materials For Commercial Biomass Briquettes ProductionA.B. Nasrin, A.N. Ma, Y.M. Choo et al.Palm oil industry generates vast amount of palm biomass. Converting palm biomass into a uniform and solid fuel through briquetting process appears to be an attractive solution in upgrading its properties and add value. In this study, raw materials including empty fruit bunch (EFB), in powder and fibre forms, palm kernel expeller (PKE) and sawdust were densified into briquettes at … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2008 · 9,472 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLaboratory Diameteral Fatigue Performance of Stone Matrix Asphalt with Cellulose Oil Palm FiberRatnasamy Muniandy, Bujang B.K. HuatStone Matrix Asphalt (SMA) is a gap-graded mix that is gaining popularity worldwide. Generally, gap graded mixes are thought to be weak in fatigue resistance. In this study, cellulose fibers were pre-blended in PG64-22 binder with fiber proportions of 0.2%, 0.4%, 0.6%, 0.8% and 1.0% by weight of aggregates. The fiber-modified binder showed improved rheological properties and showed that the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2006 · 8,979 accessesView PDFCite
