Cassava is planted each year in about 120,000 hectares of agricultural land in the Philippines, producing about 1.8 million tonnes of cassava roots. Principal products of the processing industry are food, dried chips and starch. As a traded commodity, however, cassava contributes only about 2% to gross value-adding in agriculture. The following factors favor the expansion of the industry: a) tr...

The performance of six multistage hybrid constructed wetland systems was evaluated. The systems were designed to treat four kinds of high-content wastewater: dairy wastewater (three systems, average inflow content 2,400-5,000 mg·COD l(-1), 3-6 years of operation); pig farm wastewater, including liquid food washing wastewater (one system, 9,500 mg·COD l(-1), 3 years); potato starch processing wa...

The amount of wastewater depends on the technical level of process in each industry sector and will be gradually reduced with the improvement of industrial technologies. The increasing rates of industrial wastewater in developing countries are thought to be much higher than those in developed countries. This fact predicts that industrial wastewater pollution, as a mean environment pollution pro...

Abstract Adoption of the circular economy concept to utilize wastes and by-products from cassava starch industry for biogas production has been considered a viable option. The annual generation wastewater pulp in Thailand is reported be approximately 21 million m 3 9.5 Mt, respectively. This research therefore aimed analyze key drivers challenges implementing order generate higher demand system...

Unconventional alternatives such as aerobic and anaerobic effluent from starch industry contain essential nutrients for Btk active ingredient synthesis. Effluent is rich in carbon nitrogen can replace expensive feedstock used during the fermentation process. The main objective of this study was to achieve a biopesticide formulation wastewater (SIW) with high entomotoxicity (UI/ml) larvae compar...

from the sago palm is the starchy fibrous pith residue. This residue is abundantly and cheaply available especially in the state of Sarawak, Malaysia. It is usually washed off into drains or nearby streams together with wastewater, thus contributing to pollution load, or deposited in the factory’s compound, which can lead to serious environmental problems. It has no significant industrial or co...

alkaline phosphatase (ortho phosphate, monoester hydrolase phosphoinositide e. c. 3.1.3.1) is a non-specific metalloproteinase enzyme that is located inside periplasmic space of bacteria. this enzyme is used to measure freshwater sediment in genetic engineering for cleaning water. isolation and molecular identification of the bacteria producing alkaline phosphatase and comparison of its product...

BACKGROUND Microalgae are a promising platform for producing neutral lipids, to be used in the application for biofuels or commodities in the feed and food industry. A very promising candidate is the oleaginous green microalga Scenedesmus obliquus, because it accumulates up to 45% w/w triacylglycerol (TAG) under nitrogen starvation. Under these conditions, starch is accumulated as well. Starch ...

This work analyses the application of aqueous phase reforming (APR) for green hydrogen production from starch industry wastewater. reports first time on direct conversion a high molecular weight biomass polymer contained in wastewater contrast to low substrates mainly reported literature. The potential this type feedstock was evaluated by varying source (rice, potato, sweet potato and cassava) ...

The food processing industry is very diverse. The diversity of the industry is apparent not only by the vast array of final products but also by the waste generated. Food processing waste, though not considered to be a health hazard, can be formidable in the quantities generated. Even the smallest seasonal plant is capable of producing waste loads equivalent to a population of 15,000-25,000 peo...
