abstract The stability of catalase in the reaction of hydrogen peroxide decomposition was studied in the presence of some potential stabilizers: ethylene glycol, glycerol, fructose, sucrose, fucose, ribitol and 2 nitro phenyl-#-D-galacto-pyranosid (niphegal). The sucrose, ethylene glycol and glycerol showed the best performance for long-term storage at 30°C. The stability of catalase increases ...

Abstract This study aims to determine the effect of giving coconut water and glycerol comet fish ( Carassius auratus ) sperm storage on motility, viability degree fertilization eggs. research was carried out at Fish Hatchery Laboratory, Faculty Marine Fisheries, Universitas Syiah Kuala. method used a Complete Randomized Design (CRD) consisting four treatments with five replications, namely (P0)...

In recent years, increasing environmental concerns focused greater attention on the development of biodegradable materials. A thermoplastic starch derived from bioresources, sugar palm tree was successfully developed in the presence of biodegradable glycerol as a plasticizer. Sugar palm starch (SPS) was added with 15-40 w/w% of glycerol to prepare workable bioplastics and coded as SPS/G15, SPS/...

Sub-critical or supercritical water was utilized for the degradation of glycerol in an environmentally benign reaction. The reaction was carried out in a batch reactor in the temperature range of 473-673 K, pressure of 30 MPa, and reaction time of 20-60 min. The effects of temperature and reaction time were observed. The degradation of glycerol produced acetaldehyde, acrolein, allyl alcohol and...

For the first time this study reported the success of using nanocrystalline hexagonal close-packed (hcp) nickel (Ni) modified composite graphite (CG) electrode (hcp-nano Ni/CG) for the electrocatalytic oxidation of glycerol in alkaline medium (0.1 M KOH). The hcp-nano Ni/CG electrode had an improve response and specificity on the electrocatalytic oxidation of glycerol over the bare CG. The elec...

Experiments were designed to determine when, during the cryopreservation process, sperm lose fertilizing capacity and whether the cryoprotectant, methyl cellulose (MC), could be used in combination with glycerol to cryopreserve sperm and remain in the inseminate without reducing fertility. Semen diluted in Minnesota Avian extender (MNA) and inseminated immediately had greater fertility (75%) th...

Glycerol is a by-product of biodiesel produced by transesterification and is contained in the glycerol phase together with many other materials such as soaps, remaining catalyst, water, and esters formed during the process. The content of glycerol is approximately 30-60 wt.%. In this paper, treatments of the glycerol phase to obtain glycerol with a purity of 86 wt.% (without distillation) and a...

Microbial production of glycerol has been known for 150 years, and glycerol was produced commercially during World War I. Glycerol production by microbial synthesis subsequently declined since it was unable to compete with chemical synthesis from petrochemical feedstocks due to the low glycerol yields and the difficulty with extraction and purification of glycerol from broth. As the cost of pro...

Ammodendron persicum (Bunge & Boiss.)is a desert shrub specie which grows on some sand dunes and sandy areas of South Khorasan and Sistan-va-Baluchestan provinces in east of Iran. Low distribution and narrow ecological range have put this species under threat. In order to evaluate the possibility of long-term preservation of A. persicum seeds in cryogenic conditions (-196°C), the seeds of speci...
