Canarium ovatum oil Engl. (pili nut oil) was extracted by using cold press method and then the physico-chemical properties of the oil samples, roasted pili nut oil (RPNO) and unroasted pili nut oil (UPNO) such as iodine value (IV), peroxide value (PV), acid value (% FFA), solid fat content (SFC), fatty acid composition and triacylglycerol (TAG) composition were determined. The percentage of oil...

Pistachio powder is a product used today in confectionery, ice cream, pistachio paste and other foods. Considering the higher rate of spoilage and oxidation in pistachio powder, developing methods to increase the shelf-life of this product is therefore important. In this study the effect of  freezing and vacuum packaging on the quality characteristics of pistachio powder during storage was inve...

In this research, the protonation constant value of tannic acid was determined at 25 °C and different ionic strengths (0.1 to 0.7 mol/dm3 NaCl) using potentiometric titration technique. The dependence of protonation constant on ionic strength was modeled and discussed by a Debye-Hückel type equation. Then, based on the obtained data from experiments, the minimizing Sum o...

Municipal sewage is a source of various lipids where the lipids can be extracted and converted to biodiesel by transesterification reaction. The present study reveals the properties of extracted Lipids like, Viscosity mmS, Density, kg/m3, Acid value mg KOH/g, Iodine value g I2/100 g, Value of saponification(mg KOH/g), Free fatty acid (%),Capric acid (%),Lauric acid (%),Myristic acids (%),Steari...

conclusion fm is more sensitive than zn for diagnosis of tb. however, since fm is more sensitive and rapid, using this method in clinical laboratories with large specimen numbers is recommended. results a total of 102 out of 920 study subjects had pulmonary tb, of them 68 (66.66%) patients were smear positive by either staining method while others were smear negative. the proportion of positive...

A rapid technique suitable for routine pathology laboratories has been used to estimate methylmalonic acid excretion in a 24-hour urine collection following a 10g. valine load. Levels above 40 mg./24 hours were found only in patients with vitamin B(12) deficiency. Patients with pernicious anaemia treated more than 24 hours before urine collection and patients with other types of anaemia had met...

There is an extensive literature dealing with t,he utilization by the animal body of various complex natural triglycerides, but up to the present time little attention has been paid to the separation and study of the individual fat,ty components for their ability t,o supply energy and support growth. There is no apparent reason to suppose that the individual components of a fat should be any le...

Bovine pancreatic ribonuclease A (RNase A; EC 3.1.27.5) has been one of the most studied of all enzymes.’ RNase A efficiently catalyzes the cleavage of RNA.2 Early X-ray diffraction analyses revealed that the active site of RNase A contains two histidine residues, histidine 12 (H12) and histidine 119 (H1 19).3 The results of chemical modification4 and pHrate’ studies are consistent with an enzy...
