Methanolysis of Ceiba Petandra (Kapok) seed for high yield fatty acid methyl ester (FAME): A parametric study

Identification and Characterization of Isolates of Phytophthora infestans Using Fatty Acid Methyl Ester (FAME) Profiles

The recent resurgence of the late blight pathogen, Phytophthora infestans (Mont.) de Bary, as a major agricultural threat, as well as the associated changes in genetic complexity of this organism, have necessitated careful scrutiny and characterization of populations of P. infestans so that appropriate control methods can be implemented. Several techniques for molecular and genetic characteriza...

Fatty Acid Methyl Ester (FAME) Succession in Different Substrates as Affected by the Co-Application of Three Pesticides

INTRODUCTION In intensive agriculture areas the use of pesticides can alter soil properties and microbial community structure with the risk of reducing soil quality. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this study the fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) evolution has been studied in a factorial lab experiment combining five substrates (a soil, two aged composts and their mixtures) treated with a co-applicat...

Identification of Microorganisms Using Fatty Acid Methyl Ester (fame) Analysis and the Midi Sherlock® Microbial Identification System

For more than 15 years, a substantial portion of the pharmaceutical industry has relied on the MIDI Sherlock® Microbial Identification System for identification in their microbiological testing laboratories. The Sherlock System identifies microorganisms based on gas chromatographic (GC) analysis of extracted microbial fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs). Microbial fatty acid profiles are unique fr...

FATTY ACID METHYL ESTER PROFILING OF Enterococcus and E

Ultrasound-Assisted Biodiesel Production in microreactors

The ultrasound-assisted (UA) soybean oil methanolysis using KOH as a catalyst was studied at different reaction conditions in a microreactor. Box–Behnken experimental design, with three variables, was performed and the effects of three reaction variables i.e. reaction temperature, catalyst concentration and the methanol-to-oil molar ratio on fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) yield were evaluated b...
