This study was conducted to determine the effect of biodegradation on nutrient contents rice bran (RB), cassava residual pulp (CRP), saw dust (SD) and palm oil fibre (POF) by Penicilium sp. RB, CRP, SD POF were subjected solid state fermentation for 7 days process terminated oven drying at 700C 24hours. The fermented samples thoroughly mixed, dried stored in sterile bottles analyses. Results pr...

Due to the human population explosion, demand for food, especially meat, has also increased. Increasing mutton production, in this scenario, is one way mitigate emerging issue as it nourishes a large population. However, its production challenging due high feeding costs. This study was executed develop cost-effective feed goat by adding dried citrus pulp total mixed ration. Citrus used an energ...

chemical and morphological characterization of different parts of banana plant(musa paradisica) (peduncle, leaf stalk and pseudo stem) were carried out in orderto assess their potentiality for chemical pulp. each portion was tested forextractives, sodium hydroxide solubility, ash, lignin, cellulose and pentosancontents as well as their fiber length and width. these segmented parts werecharacter...

Luteolin 7-O-glucuronide, luteolin 7-O-glucurono-(1-->6)-glucoside, apigenin 7-O-glucuronide as well as free aglycones luteolin and apigenin have been isolated from lemon catnip herb (Nepeta cataria L. var citriodora). Luteolin 7-O-glucurono-(1-->6)-glucoside is probably a new compound, for the first time described. Two minor constituents of flavonoid fraction have been identified as apigenin 7...

OBJECTIVES The objective of this study is to determine and compare antibacterial efficacy of aqueous extracts of black, green, and lemon tea of a commercially available brand. MATERIALS AND METHODS The well-diffusion method was used to evaluate the antibacterial efficacy of commercially available black tea, green tea, and lemon tea at three different concentrations (1.5 g, 5 g, and 7.5 g) aga...

Visual and gustatory responses of Spodoptera frugiperda Hübner (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) larvae to artificial food dyes were studied. The objective was to determine the ability of these substances to attract and elicit feeding of insect larvae to assess their feasibility for improving the efficacy of ingested insecticides. The artificial food dyes lemon green, lemon yellow, orange red, chlorophy...

Citrus Huanglongbing (HLB) is becoming the most devastating citrus disease worldwide. Although no known HLB-resistant citrus species or varieties have been identified, some citrus accessions such as rough lemon are reportedly tolerant. To better understand the HLB tolerance or susceptibility mechanisms in citrus, comparative anatomical analyses of tolerant rough lemon and sensitive sweet orange...

Poly(ethylene-alt-maleic acid), PEMAc, is a linear polymer that, along with its isomer polyacrylic acid, has the highest carboxylic acid content of any polymer. The goal this work was to elucidate mechanisms that control amount PEMAc permanently fixed on pulp fibers after impregnation dry dilute solution followed by drying/heating (curing). Two which cellulose were discovered, chemical, and phy...
