In view of the ever depletion sources construction materials, there is a need to explore feasibility using palm kernel shells and glass as replacements for natural crushed aggregates in Portland cement concrete. Concrete specimens produced with 25% partial replacement coarse aggregate varying percentages recycled powder pozzolana were tested their workability, compressive strength, tensile stre...

This work investigates the synergistic use of Theobroma cacao (Cocoa), and Elaeis guineensis (Palm oil) as corrosion inhibitors for carbon steel in 0.5 mol.L-1 hydrochloric acid solution, absence presence different mixture concentrations studied compounds. The efficiency was by gravimetric tests resistance electrochemical tests, such impedance spectroscopy (EIS) polarization curves. chemical co...

Irvingia gabonensis Kernel powder and the oil extracts (±testa) were mixed with commercial animal feed (50:50) fed to groups of animals.Animals in A B at an equivalent concentration 67mg/kg body weight while those C D 4ml extract mixture.Animals group E, control, on only. All animals aluminum cage for 21 days sacrificed following day. Blood from tail was used determining blood glucose first 22n...

Extracts from mango (Mangifera indica Linn.) cultivar Chok-Anan seed kernels were studied as active substances, since they are known as a good source of phenolic antioxidants with metal chelating and tyrosinase inhibitory activities. Response surface methodology (RSM) was used to investigate the effect of a combination of polysaccharides selected from gum arabic, maltodextrin and alginate on dr...

The presence of carbon and nitrogenous compounds in mango processing by-products makes them excellent substrates for the biosynthesis many microbial metabolites using fermentation processes. Pretreatment substrate with retention crucial growth supporting is vital designing optimizing media enhanced production desired metabolites. present study investigated effect hot air drying (HAD) (50, 60, 7...

In this work, a composite of corn starch grafted (-g-) guar gum was synthesized by polymerization process using tamarind kernel powder as polysaccharide. Firstly, grafting done with and saponification alkali, i.e., sodium hydroxide (NaOH). It further derivatized through condensation thermally treated at different temperatures. This leads to some chemical structural changes in the compound. The ...
