ABSTRACT: Our target is to evaluate recent literature on chitinase production from different sources via solid-state fermentation and analyze several strategies improve fermentation. Plant pathogen biocontrol, sequential transformation of chitin into bioactive molecules such as chito-oligosaccharides N-acetylglucosamine, protoplast synthesis filamentous fungi, single-cell protein are some the a...

Solid-state fermentation (SSF) of vinegar wastes saves environmental resources and helps to recover valuable material for lignocellulose purposes. The development of solid-state fermentation technology is very important for the production of cellulase and ultimately for utilization of natural cellulose. However, inadequate dissipation of heat generated by biological activities has prevented sol...

Magnetic poly (acrylonitrile-co-acrylic acid) (PAN-co-AA) composite nanofibers with different proportions of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) were fabricated using electrospinning technique. Electrospinning conditions like polymeric concentration, applied voltage, feeding rate, working distance, and collector type were explored and optimized to produce ultrafine- uniform size and bead free nanofib...

In this research, Keggin-type polyoxometalate, H5PMoV2O40 (denoted as PMoV) was immobilized on modified NiFe2O4 nanoparticles to produce a magnetically separable catalyst. This catalyst was characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), cycli...

The simultaneous effects of inulin addition (0-4%w/w), probiotic inoculum level (1-3%v/v) and fermentation temperature (37-45°C) on the dynamic rheological properties of probiotic non-fat yogurt were studied using response surface methodology. Frequency sweep tests were performed to measure structure strength and type of structure. Linear viscoelastic range in term of strain (LVE), structure st...

This article presents the method of extraction-preconcentration of Lead, Cadmium, and Nickel ions from food samples using the Ghezeljeh montmorillonite nanoclay (Geleh-Sar-Shoor) as a new native adsorbent in batch single component systems. The extraction-preconcentration of heavy metals were carried out by applying the solid phase extraction (SPE) method followed by atomic abs...

Butter is separated from cream using ultrasonication method. The efficiency of butter preparation is evaluated with respect to various parameters such as time, dilution, fermentation time using ultrasonication at room temperature and compares the yield with conventional stirring method. All the parameters were critically studied and it is observed maximum yield was obtained for sonication time ...
