The Phoenix dactylifera Linn. is most common plant usually known date palm, belonging to the family Arecaceae. It native North Africa, South- West Asia considered an oldest plant. palm well for traditional medicinal value. active phytoconstituents rep...

Poly(ethyl hydrazide) grafted oil palm empty fruit bunch (peh-g-opefb) fiber has been successfully prepared by heating poly(methylacrylate)-g-opefb at 60 °C for 4 h in a solution of hydrazine hydrate in ethanol. The chelating ability of peh-g-opefb was evaluated based on removal of Ni(II) ions in aqueous solution. Adsorption of Ni(II) by peh-g-opefb was characterized based on effect of pH, isot...

A state of the art proteomic methodology using Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization-Time of Flight (MALDI TOF) has been employed to characterize peptides modulated in the date palm stem subsequent to infestation with red palm weevil (RPW). Our analyses revealed 32 differentially expressed peptides associated with RPW infestation in date palm stem. To identify RPW infestation associated p...

Abstract There is a rising demand for advanced new materials in food packaging to meet the growing economic and sustainability requirements. Natural fibers have excellent mechanical thermal isolation properties lower production costs than synthetic fibers, making them suitable candidates development of sustainable packaging. Other characteristics natural i.e., low cost, easy availability, impac...

during the past two decades, the use of bioplastics as an alternative to regular plastics has received much attention in many different industries. the mechanical and degradable properties of bioplastic are important for their utilization. in this research cellulose of wheat straw and glycerol were mixed by different weight ratios and then reinforced by using date palm fibers. to prepare the bi...
