UNLABELLED Objective(s) : Although bacteria and molds are the pioneering microorganisms for production of many enzymes, yet yeasts provide safe and reliable sources of enzymes with applications in food and feed. MATERIALS AND METHODS Single xylanase producer yeast was isolated from plant residues based on formation of transparent halo zones on xylan agar plates. The isolate showed much greate...

Ethanol/water organosolv pulping was used to obtain sugarcane bagasse pulp that was bleached with sodium chlorite. This bleached pulp was used to obtain cellulosic films that were further evaluated by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). A good film formation was observed when temperature of 74 degrees C and ba...

The aim of the present work was focused on the cellulase production by Aspergillus niger using different substrates (i.e) rice bran, wheat bran, black gram bran, coconut oil cake, groundnut oil cake, and gingely oil cake. Solid state fermentation holds tremendous potentials for the production of the enzyme cellulase by Aspergillus niger. These agro industrial residues are cheap raw materials fo...

Abstract The increase in the global population has led to a substantial demand for food supply as well manufacturing industries that regularly produce large amounts of waste. Agro-industrial waste attracted tremendous attention all over world since ancient times, such is usually dumped or burned and poses threat human health environment, which always been matter serious concern. However, major ...

Agro-industrial wastes contain high moisture content and are rich in nutrients, can be used as useful substrates by microbes with the supplementation of nitrogen sources, thus providing an alternative tool for industrial production many products economic value, such enzymes example. These proteins that function biological catalysts, responsible carrying out various biochemical reactions, being ...

The application of agro-industrial waste in Aluminum Metal Matrix Composites has been getting more attention as they can reinforce particles in metal matrix which enhance the strength properties of the composites. In addition, by applying these agroindustrial wastes in useful way not only save the manufacturing cost of products but also reduce the pollutions on environment. This paper represent...

Nowadays, carotenoids are valuable molecules in different industries such as chemical, pharmaceutical, poultry, food and cosmetics. These pigments not only can act as vitamin A precursors, but also they have coloring and antioxidant properties, which have attracted the attention of the industries and researchers. The carotenoid production through chemical synthesis or extraction from plants is ...

crop residues management is one of the most important factors to sustain agro-ecosystems. application of plant residues as organic fertilizers has functional role on the amount of soil elements, their availability for crops and finally yield obtained. in order to investigate the effect of different crop residues and their management on providing wheat potassium requirement, a four-replicated fi...
