The research objective was investigate the effect of alkali treatment on thermal stability, interfacial shear strength, mechanical properties and waterabsorption in composite honey pineapple fiber (HPF). HPF not given treated by soaking a mixture 6% wt sodium hydroxide. Mixing between Unsaturated Polyester (UPRs) Microcrystalline Cellulose (MCC) applied Taguchi test with 5% MCC, 250 RPm, 40 oC ...

The objectives of this study were to evaluate ruminal degradation and intestinal digestion of two ruminally protected methionine (RPM) products and to assess the potential use of changes in plasma methionine concentrations as an indication of methionine availability to the animal. Ruminal degradation of the protected methionine was assessed using the in situ technique. The intestinal availabili...

Both the continuous and batch transesterification of linseed oil were examined in order to maximize the fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) yield. The continuous process was conducted in a packed bed reactor using calcium oxide as a heterogeneous catalyst. In addition, the impact of two variables, namely the molar ratio of methanol to oil and the flow rate (ml/min), on the FAME yield were stu...
