In the present study, a variety of agro-industrial wastes have been utilized for meaningful purpose to produce valuable biocatalyst. All wastes used were low cost and easily accessible while, some available throughout the year. A number of bacterial strains isolated from rotten fruits and vegetables were screened for the production of industrially important polygalacturonase (PGase) using pecti...

The article investigates the revealed comparative export advantage, relative import specialization advantage, relative trade advantage, intra-industry trade and its quality types in agrofood trade of Croatia, Hungary and Slovenia with the European Union (EU) market. The empirical results confirmed bulk of agro-food and forestry products with revealed comparative export advantages on the EU mark...

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 ...

In this paper a variety of issues on the relationship between supply chains and transportation is provided. Although some of these issues are complementary to the presentations made by other analysts at the 2nd Conference on Agro-Industrial Logistics in Mediterranean Area, a few different directions for research are also highlighted. The first section provides an overview of supply chains and s...

Technological progress has led to electronic exchanges attracting a major part of transaction volume for standardized stocks. In the field of derivatives and bonds, electronic exchanges failed to prosper and so called over-the-counter (OTC) trading is predominant: possibly because multi-attribute assets are hard to trade in structured two-sided markets. The present paper aims at alleviating thi...

A distinguishing feature of labor services is that they are immediately perishable. This paper explores the implications of immediate perishability for the market for homogenous labor services that are sold in a centralized exchange. The analysis sheds light on the nature of unemployment. The paper also explores implications for the role of labor cartels and firms in providing workers an altern...

background and objective: in the present study, bacillus polymyxa ncim no. 2539 was selected to utilize agro-industrial byproduct (orange peel) for amylase production under submerged fermentation conditions. material and methods: different agro-industrial byproducts like cane molasses, wheat bran, rice bran and orange peel were screened for maximum amylase production. amylase activitiy of bacil...

background and objectives: in the era of global industrialization, enzymes are being used extensively in the various sectors including food processing. owing to the high price of enzymes, various initiatives have been undertaken by the r&d; sector for the development of new processes or improvement in the existing processes for production of cost effective enzymes. with the advancement in the f...

This work investigated the production of the fungi Isaria fumosorosea and Isaria farinosa in biphasic fermentation using agro-industrial products and residues. Combinations of natural liquid substrates, alternative to the complete medium and potato dextrose medium, were evaluated. The best liquid media were sugarcane molasses + rice broth, rice broth + yeast and sugarcane molasses + yeast + ric...
