Abstract There is a growing interest among vegetable growers in using locally available media hydroponic production. This study assessed the growth and yield of pechay, nutrient solution consumption plant, its quality different (foam, coco peat, raw rice hull, saw dust, vermicompost, composted straw, hull) Kratky system at Institute Agriculture, Camiguin Polytechnic State College-Catarman Campu...

Functional properties of fermented bran produced by Aspergillus oryzae and Rhizopus sp. in a solid-state fermentation system were determined, with an aim to evaluate their application in food formulation. The defatted rice bran and wheat bran were inoculated with the spores of the cultures and incubated at 30°C for 72 h. Samples were withdrawn at 0, 24, 48 and 72 h. Protein content, protein sol...

The production of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) by Bacillus megaterium using industrial residues, crude glycerol from biodiesel synthesis and rice hull hydrolysate (RHH), as low-cost carbon sources was investigated. experiments were conducted shaking flasks at 30 °C 180 rpm up to 72 h. extraction PHA carried out sodium hypochlorite make its recovery more environmentally friendly avoiding organic...

In this study the chemical composition and iron bioavailability of hull and hull-less soybean flour from the new cultivar UFVTN 105AP was evaluated. The hemoglobin depletion-repletion method was used in Wistar rats. Soybean hull flour presented 37% more total dietary fiber and higher content of iron than hull-less soybean flour. The phytate:iron molar ratio, however, was 2-fold lower in the soy...

Bacillus licheniformis Heshi-B2 was isolated from fermented rice bran in Heshiko, a food produced by aging salted mackerel with fresh rice bran. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of B. licheniformis Heshi-B2, originating from a Heshiko sample from Fukui Prefecture, Japan.

Defatted rice bran was treated with subcritical water between 120 and 240°C. The extraction temperature af fected the total carbohydrate and protein contents of the extracts. In the tested temperature range, the total carbohydrate and protein contents were the highest at 180°C and 210°C. The DPPH radical scavenging activity of the extracts increased with increasing extraction temperature up to ...

The interest in polysaccharides has increased considerably in recent years, as they are candidates for many commercial applications in different industrial sectors like food, petroleum, and pharmaceuticals. Because of their costly production processes, industrial microbial polysaccharides like xanthan, dextran, curdlan, gellan, and pullulan constitute only a minor fraction of the current polyme...
