Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleProximate Analysis of Dragon Fruit (Hylecereus polyhizus)Ruzainah Ali Jaafar, Ahmad Ridhwan Bin Abdul Rahman, Nor Zaini Che Mahmod, R. VasudevanProblem statement: Dragon fruit (Hylecereus polyhizus) is well known for the rich nutrient contents and it is commercially available worldwide for improving many health problems. Several studies show the proximity value of red pitaya fruits but the nutrient composition of the stem has not been extensively studied. Approach: This study was carried out to measure the proximate analysis of moisture … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2009 · 14,057 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleProximate Chemical Analysis of Luncheon and Burger at Egyptian MarketsAli M. Ahmed, Takwa H. Ismail, Reham Abouelmaatti et al.The inspection of the affirmed composition of meat products is a compulsory task order to protect the public benefits and health against adulteration. A total of 100 commercial meat products were purchased from different retail markets in Ismailia city for identifying their chemical criteria. The commercial meat products are beef luncheon, beef burger, chicken luncheon and chicken burger, 25 sample … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 2 · 28 May 2020 · 7,045 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDurian Husk Properties and its Heating Value EquationPatomsok WilaiponProblem statement: Agricultural residue seems to be one of the most promising energy resources for developing countries. Among the other fruits, durian is a popular one for Thai people. Therefore, a large amount of durian husk is left at the shops or factories. This study was aimed to investigate the characteristics and heating value of durian husk and to develop … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 9 · 1 Aug 2011 · 7,856 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGrowth Performance and Blood Profiles of Indigenous Venda Chickens Under Intensive and Semi-Intensive Rearing SystemsBoasiako Oris Antwi, Ifeanyichukwu Princewill Ogbuewu, Christian Anayo MbajiorguA 91-day trial examined the impact of two production systems on crop content, growth performance, hematology, and blood chemistry of indigenous Venda chickens. One-day-old Venda chickens (n = 100) were randomly assigned to two treatments (T1 and T2) and replicated five times with 10 birds per replication. Venda chickens in each group were placed in five replicate pens, each having … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 1 · 12 Apr 2026 · 1,424 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment of Efficient Thermal Conversion Technologies and HHV from Compositional Characteristics of Cassava Peelings, Plantain Peelings and Corn CobsSamomssa Inna, Oumarou Amadou Amadou, Jiokap Nono Yvette et al.The understanding of compositional characteristics permits to predict the efficient thermal conversion technologies and Higher Heating Value (HHV). Although HHV can be determined directly, many models have been proposed for HHV prediction. They are based on proximate, ultimate, and structural analysis and require much data collected. The present work assesses to predict efficient thermal conversion technologies and HHV of the … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 27 Dec 2022 · 10,157 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUpdates on Nutritional Diversity in Sphenostylis stenocarpa (Hoechst ex. A. Rich.) Harms. for Food Security and ConservationCatherine Veronica Nnamani, Sunday Adesola Ajayi, Happiness Ogba Oselebe et al.Neglected and underutilized plant genetic resources constitute opportunity for diversification of food and environmental services globally, particularly within communities in developing country. They can provide, in some cases, higher nutrient content than traditional globally accepted staples commonly consumed. Currently, with climate uncertainty and the desire and challenge for sustainably produced food, there is an urgent need to promote crop diversity. … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 10 Jul 2018 · 9,336 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRecycle of Plastic Bag Wastes with Organic Wastes to Energy for RDF ProductionsRithy Kan, Chatchai Kungkajit, Thaniya KaosolThis paper studies the utilization potential of Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) approach to recover the discarded plastics from Hatyai solid waste disposal site in Songkhla province, Thailand. The excavated plastic bag wastes from the closure landfill of Hatyai, unused plastic bag wastes and waste residues are the raw materials for RDF productions.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiochar Types from Latrine Waste and Sewage Sludge Differ in Physico-Chemical Properties and Cadmium AdsorptionKoetlisi Andreas Koetlisi, Pardon MuchaonyerwaPyrolysis of latrine fecal waste could produce valuable products for minimizing environmental contamination with heavy metals. The objective of this study was to determine yields, characteristics and cadmium (Cd) sorption of biochar from latrine fecal waste and sewage sludge, as affected by pyrolysis temperature. Slow pyrolysis at 350, 550 and 650°C, was used to produce the biochar. In addition to … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2017 · 8,512 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessing the Lignin Fraction Extracted from Brazilian Energy CropsDiogo José Horst, Jhon Jairo Ramírez Behainne, Pedro Paulo de Andrade Junior, Luís Filippe SerpeThis study quantifies the extraction performance and some properties of the lignin obtained from six crops with potential for generating thermal energy in Brazil. A full factorial design (22) with four replicates including two extraction methods and two particles size distributions was adopted for assessing the fraction of lignin, as well as its Higher Heating Value (HHV) and composition given … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 27 Apr 2015 · 7,581 accessesView PDFCite
