The suitability of litchi [Litchi chinensis (Gaertn.) Sonn.] juice concentrate was investigated for the production of litchi wine. The large amount of fermentable sugars (85.20%) and acid content (4.25%) present in litchi juice concentrate were found suitable for its use in wine making. Amongst the four yeast strains screened for alcoholic fermentation of reconstituted litchi juice, Saccharomyc...

The effects of sodium carbonate (Na(2)CO(3)) pretreatment on the chemical compositions and enzymatic saccharification of rice straw were investigated. The enzymatic digestibility of rice straw is enhanced after pretreatment since pretreated solids show significant delignification with high sugar availability. During pretreatment, an increasing temperature and Na(2)CO(3) charge leads to enhanced...

Total suspended solids (TSS) are sediment material that floats in the water column moves without touching bed, influenced by input from land, river flow, and oceanography factors. TSS is closely related to sedimentation, which can harm aquatic ecosystems, especially coral reefs. This research was conducted using data as well flow for each season (May, June, October 2019, February March 2020) kn...

Pendangkalan PPN Pemangkat akibat sedimentasi sudah menjadi perhatian sejak beberapa tahun terakhir. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengidentifikasi 3 sumber yang berasal dari Sungai Sambas Besar, Prapakan Tanjung, dan Penjajap menentukan dominan penyuplai sedimen di dalam area pelabuhan. Data digunakan yaitu elevasi pasang surut, arus, debit aliran sungai, konsentrasi TSS. Hasil penelitian men...

Let Σ be a surface whose boundary consists of a set of disjoint simple closed curves. A Catalan triangulation of Σ is a triangulation of Σ such that all vertices are on the boundary. An edge in a Catalan triangulation is called separating if the removal of its end vertices disconnects the triangulation. The number of Catalan triangulations of a disk is given by the well-known Catalan numbers. C...

Tomato fruit is renowned for its high concentration of phyto-nutrients such as lycopene and carotenoids, overall contribution to nutrition and human health. The effect of antisense suppression of ethylene receptor genes LeETR1 and LeETR2 over the quality of tomato fruit was investigated in this paper. During the different stages of ripening, the fruit of antisense transgenic tomatoes of ale1 an...
