Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMicrowave Assisted Bioethanol Production from Sago Starch by Co-Culturing of Ragi Tapai and Saccharomyces CerevisiaeN. Saifuddin, Refal HussainProblem statement: Environmental issues such as global warming and recent events throughout the world, including the shortage of petroleum crude oil, the sharp increase in the cost of oil and the political instability of some crude oil producing countries, have demonstrated the vulnerability of the present sources for liquid fuel. These situations have created great demand for ethanol from fermentation … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 18 Jul 2011 · 7,898 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Potential of Extended Aeration System for Sago Effluent TreatmentWahi Abd Rashid, Hamdan Musa, Wong Sing King, Kopli BujangProblem statement: Sago effluent contains large amount of organic material which has a potential to cause water pollution. In order to reduce this problem, an experiment was conducted to remove organic material from sago effluent using lab scale of Extended Aeration (EA) system. Approach: The EA system consisted of the combination of physical and biological treatment unit. For Physical Treatment … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 5 · 31 May 2010 · 8,346 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleChemical Characteristics of Compost and Humic Acid from Sago Waste (Metroxylon sagu)Auldry Chaddy Petrus, Osumanu Haruna Ahmed, Ab Majid Nik Muhamad et al.Problem statement: Agriculture waste such as Sago Waste (SW) has a potential to cause pollution either on land or in water. In order to reduce this problem, a study was conducted to investigate the effect of three different treatments on the chemical characteristics of compost and humic acid from SW. Approach: The study had three treatments which were: T1: SW … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2009 · 8,088 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleProduction of Potassium and Calcium Hydroxide, Compost and Humic Acid from Sago (Metroxylon sagu) WasteC. P. Auldry, O. H. Ahmed, A.M. Nik Muhamad et al.Problem statement: Agriculture waste such as Sago Waste (SW) has a potential to cause pollution when the waste is discarded into rivers. In order to add value to SW, a study was conducted to produce potassium and calcium hydroxide, compost and Humic Acid (HA) from SW. Approach: The SW was air-dried and some grinded. The grinded SW was incinerated at … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2009 · 7,583 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA Review on Physicochemical and Thermorheological Properties of Sago StarchA. Mohamed, B. Jamilah, K.A. Abbas et al.This study was a part of a research project aiming to investigate the texture characteristics of protein - starch interaction in fish based product keropok lekor. Accordingly, the current review study focused on some physicochemical (molecular weight, viscosity, chemical composition and swelling power) and thermorheological (gelatinization, retrogradation and viscoelsticity) characteristics of sago starch alone and in mixtures with other ingredients … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 9,639 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePhysiochemical Properties of Sago Starch Modified by Acid Treatment in AlcoholP.H. Yiu, S.L. Loh, A. Rajan et al.Sago starch is usually chemically modified to overcome and improve the unstable properties of native sago starch during processing. In this study, sago starch was treated in hydrochloric acid in the presence of methanol, ethanol and 2-propanol at 450C for 1 hour. Granule size, granular structure and solubility of the modified starch were investigated. Results showed that recovery yields of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2008 · 8,909 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleCharacterizing Soil Penetration Resistance of Planted Sago Palm (Metroxylon spp.) Under Mineral Soils EcosystemMohd Effendi Wasli, Nurul Hidayah Che Ali, Roland Yong et al.In-situ soil assessment such as field soil compaction can often be a helpful approach in help determining soil suitability for certain crops. In this study, an assessment was conducted to characterize the Soil Penetration Resistance (SPR) in planted sago palm (Metroxylon spp.) plantation at different growth of rosette and trunking stages under mineral soils ecosystem. SPR in-situ assessment would provide … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 4 · 20 Dec 2021 · 6,731 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDynamic Mathematical Modelling of Reaction Kinetics for Cyclodextrins Production from Different Starch Sources Using Bacillus macerans Cyclodextrin GlucanotransferaseSyahinaz Shahrazi, Suryani Saallah, Mohd Noriznan Mokhtar et al.This study relates to the mathematical modelling of enzymatic production of Cyclodextrins (CDs) by Cyclodextrin Glucanotransferase (CGTase) from Bacillus macerans. The experiments were carried out in batch mode using different starch sources and the results were used to estimate unknown parameters using linearization and dynamic simulation methods. α- and β-CD produced from tapioca were found to give the highest Michaelis-Menten … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 20 Jun 2013 · 7,909 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsGrowth Performance of the Red-Stripe Weevil Rhynchophorus schach Oliv. (Insecta: Coleoptera: Curculionidae) on Meridic DietsChoon-Fah J. Bong, Chin-Chin Er, Pang-Hung Yiu, Amartalingam RajanBiology and growth performance of Red Stripe Weevil, Rhynchophorus schach Oliv. were studied using meridic diets. The diets consisted of sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) bagasse, copra (Cocos nucifera L.) cake and sago (Metroxylon sagus Rottb.) flour as main ingredients. Larvae or locally known as sagoworm, in copra cake diet exhibited the fastest growth with maximum weight gain of 1609 mg … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 8,134 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIdentification a Novel Raw-Starch-Degrading-α-Amylase from a Tropical Marine BacteriumZeily Nurachman, Alfredo Kono, Ocky Karna Radjasa, Dessy NataliaProblem statement: Bacteria from the surface of the tropical marine hard coral Acropora sp. were screened for producing raw-starch-degrading-α-amylase. Approach: Based on its 16s rDNA sequence, a bacterium that produced the highest amylolitic activity was identified as Bacillus amyloliquifaciens ABBD. The bacterial isolate secreted a α-amylase extracellularly and then the enzyme was partially purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation followed by … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2010 · 9,329 accessesView PDFCite
