In this work, black and white Myrtus communis L. (myrtle) fruits some biochemical parameters were investigated such as vitamins, carotenes, functional peptides, oxidative stress markers (OSM), total phenolic (TP) flavonoid (TF) substances, antioxidant capacity (AC) amino acids contents. The myrtle had generally higher amounts of TP, AC acid (AA) contents than the fruits. dried in sun light micr...

Producing crude palm oil (CPO) will have side effect on producing palm oil mill effluent (POME).  Besides of high COD /BOD contents, POME still contains high amount of nutrients (nitrogen, phosphor and mineral). Traditional treatment of palm oil mill effluent using facultative anaerobic method not fully eliminated COD and BOD into allowable limit. The objective of this research was to utilize p...

Kaewchai, S. and Prasertsan, P. Screening and application of thermotolerant microorganisms and their flocculant for treatment of palm oil mill effluent Songklanakarin J. Sci. Technol., 2002, 24(3) : 413-420 Among fifteen thermotolerant polymer-producing isolates, three strains SM 29, WD 90, and SM 38 produced polymer posessing very high flocculating activities (24.81, 14.63 and 10.84, respectiv...

The biggest agricultural sector that contributes to the Malaysian economy is the oil palm industry. The effluent generated during the production of crude palm oil known as palm oil mill effluent (POME). POME undergoes anaerobic treatment that requires long retention time and produces large amount of methane that consequently contributes to global warming. In this study, an isolated bacteria was...

This study evaluates the physicochemical characteristics, total and available copper zinc in soils affected by four palm oil mills effluent (POME) of Oghareki Oghara Kingdom, Delta State, Nigeria using standard methods. The results showed generally increased pH, organic matter, electrical conductivity, phosphorus, exchangeable bases cation exchange capacity (CEC), compared to non-POME-contamina...

Abstract Recently, Cadophora luteo-olivacea has been reported as a post-harvest pathogen of side rot apple ( Malus domestica ) in Latvia, and pear Pyrus communis Italy the Netherlands. In 2018 2019, South Tyrol (northern Italy) 11 fungal cultures, identified C. based on ITS (internal transcribed spacer region) sequence data, were obtained from fruit displaying symptoms. The sampled packinghouse...

Surface arthropods on pome fruits can cause export problems and disrupt commercial markets. Eliminating insects and mites on the packing line would be the last opportunity to provide for pest-free produce. In this study, an experimental packing line was used to evaluate techniques using different surfactant baths, pressurized water sprays, and styles of rotating brushes to remove field-collecte...
