Purpose The impact of potassium permanganate (KMnO 4 ) treatment on the tensile strength an alkali-treated pineapple leaf fiber (PALF) reinforced with tapioca-based bio resin (cassava starch) was studied. Design/methodology/approach PALF exposed to sodium hydroxide (NaOH) in varying concentrations 2.0, 3.7, 4.5 and 5.5g prior KMnO . treated untreated PALFs were resin. Subsequently, they subject...

The open burning of agricultural residues derived from rice is a social issue in Thailand, as it causes air pollution the form smoke. A way to prevent smoke pulverize glycosylated non-edible biomass and convert monosodium glutamate (MSG). This study assessed MSG produced by compared environmental performance using tapioca starch. scope this ranges cultivation raw materials production MSG. adopt...
