The objective of this study was to evaluate the physical and chemical properties of the broiler feather concentrate (BFC) in different hydrolysis processes. The raw materials in the form of broiler feather waste (BFW) were hydrolyzed into broiler feather concentrate (BFC) products in the form of feather meal. A total of 1000 g of dry feather samples were used in this study. The study was design...

Batch hydrolysis of olive oil was performed by Candida rugosa lipase immobilized on Amberlite IRC-50 and Al2O3. These two supports were selected out of 16 carriers: inorganic materials (sand, silica gel, infusorial earth, Al2O3), inorganic salts (CaCO3, CaSO4), ion-exchange resins (Amberlite IRC-50 and IR-4B, Dowex 2X8), a natural resin (colophony), a natural biopolymer (sodium alginate), synth...

Anaerobic digestion (AD) has been recently introduced as a promising technology for producing bioenergy around the world. Due to its especial characteristics, solid waste could be considered as a proper feedstock in the digester. Retention time (RT) and rate of biogas production are two major parameters affecting the efficiency of the process. The AD procedure of biogas production consists of h...

2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazanomethylphenol (DNPHMP) was immobilized onto silicate rice husk ash to form a heterogeneous catalyst denoted as RHDNPH. The elemental and EDX analysis of RHDNPH showed the nitrogen is incorporated into silica. The RHDNPH had 154.6 m2g-1 as a specific surface area. The FT-IR clearly showed the appearance of –NH and C=N absorption band at the expected range. The TGA curve ...

acrylic-type polymeric systems having degradable ester bonds linked to ibuprofen were synthesized and evaluated as materials for drug delivery. ibuprofen, as a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, was linked to 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate by activated ester methodology in one-pot procedure. the resulting methacrylic derivative of ibuprofen was copolymerized with 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate and...

Sheep´s milk whey is an important source of protein and present functional properties. Studies related to the concentration sheep´s proteins are still scarce in literature. In order improve not only chemical, physical properties foods, but also absorption characteristics proteins, without impairing nutritional value, enzymatic hydrolysis process can be used. From generated bioactive peptides th...

Hypoallergenic formulas containing hydrolyzed protein are intended for use by infants to prevent cow’s milk allergy. The degree of hydrolysis epitopic areas determines the residual allergenicity whey hydrolysates (WPHs). However, only amino-acid-based infant (IFs) considered entirely nonallergenic. aim this study was investigate four commercially available WPHs with different (H1–H4) potential ...

Effective conversion of lignocellulosic material as renewable energy source has significant reflection on economic and environmental impact. Diluted acid hydrolysis at optimal condition was used to liberate fermentable sugar. The sorghum stalks, the alkali pretreatment of biomass and hydrolysis in diluted hydrochloric acid were investigated. The hydrolysis reaction was carried out in a 5L react...
