Production of different pectinolytic enzymes was attempted using the actinomycete strain Streptomyces lydicus in submerged fermentation. Polygalacturonase and pectin lyase activities were detected in the culture supernatant, but the strain was not able to produce pectin esterase. Polygalacturonase production was studied in submerged, slurry-state and solid-state fermentation systems. All the ex...

Solid state fermentation (SSF) is a bioconversion process by microorganism and enzymes. It effectively depolymerizes the cellulose, ligno cellulose present in the agricultural produces, cereals and biomas. It also enriches protein, colour, antioxidant activity, modification of functional properties of cereals. Solid state fermentation provides wide range of application in food and bio processin...

esterification of chitosan with adipic acid catalyzed by immobilized candida antarctica lipase b was carried out in this study. response surface methodology (rsm) based on a four-factor- five-level small central composite design (sccd) was employed to model and analyze the reaction. a total of 21 experiments representing different combinations of the four reaction parameters including ch...

vanadium phosphorus oxides (vpo) has been applied as a heterogeneous catalyst in gas phase oxidation reactions and its application is very limited in liquid phase. in this study a series of cobalt-doped vanadium phosphorus oxides (vpo-co) catalysts with different loading of co (0.01-1.0 mol ratio of co/v) were prepared. oxidation of benzyl alcohol was studied in the liquid phase over vpo and vp...

in this paper, size distribution of nano-bubbles was measured by the reliable and fast method of laserdiffraction technique. nano-bubbles were produced using a nano-bubble generator designed and madebased on hydrodynamic cavitation phenomenon in venturi tubes. a central composite design withresponse surface methodology was used to conduct a five factor, five level factorial experimental designo...

in this present study the dissolved air flotation (daf) system was investigated for the treatment of kermanshah oil refinery wastewater. the effect of three parameters on flotation efficiency including of flow rate (outflow from the flotation tank), saturation pressure and coagulant dosage on chemical oxygen demand (cod) removal was examined experimentally. all the experiments were done under a...

in order to reduce the costs associated with poly-β-hydroxybutyrate production, growth and poly-β-hydroxybutyrate production of ralstonia eutropha were studied in batch culture on different carbon sources. experiments were designed and conducted to not only lower the cost of poly-β-hydroxybutyrate production by using inexpensive substrates, but also to increase poly-β-hydroxybutyrate production...

Ethane 1,2-diamineborane (EDAB) is an alkyl-containing amine-borane adduct with improved hydrogen desorption properties as compared to ammonia borane. In this work, it is reported the high temperature thermolytic decomposition of EDAB. Thermolysis of EDAB has been investigated by concomitant thermogravimetry-differential thermal analysis-mass spectrometry experiments. EDAB shows up to four H₂ d...
