This paper suggests a new approach to edge extraction in terms of image decomposition and restoration, which adopts some specific edge extraction operator as seed operator to extract edge in a group of sub-images produced by sub-sampling original image and restoring the extracted edge-pixels to their corresponding positions in original image. It is a fast method to extract edge features at any ...

Several approaches were examined for extracting the relatively hydrophobic protein recombinant dog gastric lipase (rDGL) expressed in the endosperm of transgenic corn seed. The first approach used minimal processing of the seed before extraction (i.e. simple grinding of whole seed) followed by selective extraction to eliminate 72% of contaminant proteins without compromising rDGL recovery from ...

Sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides) is a unique plant currently being domesticated. The fruit is the main component of value, although the leaves are occasionally made into sea buckthorn tea. The two main sources of valuable products are derived from the berries, juice from the fleshy tissue and seed as a single seed from each berry. The juice provides a nutritious beverage, high in suspended ...

In this study, some anti-nutritional factors present in oil-free seeds of egusi (Citrullus colocynthis L.) seed cake were determined. Oil was extracted from the oil-free egusi seed by the Soxhlet extraction method. The anti-nutritional factors were determined using the standard methods. The result of anti-nutritional factors analysis revealed that the seed contains phytate (3.09 ± 0.65mg/100g),...

Background & Aim: Sesame is one of the oldest cultivated plants in the world and is one of the oldest oily products used by humans. Sesame oil is an important industrial, oral and medicinal oil. Today, the use of ultrasound has grown significantly due to its effects on food storage and processing. Experimental: In this research, the response level model w...

Objective: the objective of the present work was extraction of polysaccharide from tamarind seed and further characterization as pharmaceutical excipient. study includes phytochemical screening, micromeritic properties. Work also emphasize to study gelling properties of extracted polysaccharide. Methods: Water based extraction procedure was used to extract polysaccharide from tamarind seed. Pha...

Extraction of quality DNA from peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) generally requires extensive manipulation in order to remove numerous phenolic compounds and polysaccharides. To reduce the amount of problematic compounds present, routine purification of peanut DNA is normally performed on young leaf tissue which requires time and space for seed germination and growth of the peanut plant for at least...

Iso-surface extraction is one of the most important approaches for volume rendering, and iso-contouring is one of the most effective methods for iso-surface extraction. Unlike most other methods having their search domain be the whole dataset, iso-contouring does its search only on a relatively small subset of the original dataset. This subset, called a seed-set, has the property that every iso...
