The present study was conducted to prepare dietary fiber rich chicken meat rolls and patties. The combination of two different sources of dietary fiber has been used viz. rice bran and psyllium husk. Three different levels of rice bran and psyllium husk viz. 10% rice bran and 2% psyllium husk, 10% rice bran and 4% psyllium husk and 10% rice bran and 6% psyllium husk were tried. The sensory char...

Objectives: This study investigated the biological activities water ethanol extracts obtained from its waste determine potential usage cosmetic industry. Methods: In this experimental study, disc diff...

Vermicomposting of organic waste has an important part to play in integrated management strategy. The aim the present study was investigate ability epigeic earthworm Eisenia foetida transform anaerobically digested sewage sludge (SS) amended with hazelnut husk (HH) and cow manure (CM) different proportions under laboratory condition (in darkness at 25°C0,5 0C). Two approaches investigated were...

Ionic liquids that dissolve cellulose provide an option to pretreat lignocellulosic biomass. In this study, potential application of three ionic liquids in pretreating rice husk and their abilities in dissolving rice husk cellulose were investigated. The ionic liquids applied were 1-butyl-3methylimidazolium chloride ([BMIM]Cl), 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate ([EMIM]OAc), and 1-ethyl-3-meth...

Barley is the only crop in the Poaceae family with adhering husks at maturity. The color of husk at barely development stage could influence the agronomic traits and malting qualities of grains. A barley mutant with a white husk was discovered from the malting barley cultivar Supi 3 and designated wh (white husk). Morphological changes and the genetics of white husk barley were investigated. Hu...

Eastern chipmunk (Tamias striatus) is seed predator that has the ability to affect the diversity and abundance of certain tree species in a forest. This study tested the seed preference of eastern chipmunks on the border of Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan at University of Notre Environmental Research Center. Cafeteria style feeding trials were done in a laboratory to test the pref...

The inherent problems associated with inorganic fertilizer such as scarcity and high cost informed the invention of cocoa pod husk based organic fertilizer. The impact of the fertilizer on cocoa output is hereby investigated in this study. The study was conducted in Cross-River State, Nigeria and purposive random sampling technique was used to select fifty cocoa farmers including the user and n...

Activated carbon from rice husk ash (AC-RH) and hazelnut husks (AC-HH) modified by Diopside (AC-RH/Diop, AC-HH/Diop) composites were synthesised applied for the adsorption of Copper Methylene blue industrial effluents. was provided sol-gel method activated prepared husks. The formation AC/Diop characterised FT-IR, FESEM, BET, XRD analyses. Effects pH, amount adsorbent, contact time at 10 mg L−1...
