Corn cob is considered an agricultural bio-waste that can be reused and incorporated in the building industry as a thermal insulation material. However, more research required to obtain detailed analysis what concerns materials' performance using this waste raw material and, consequently, their sustainability profile. In context, study aims evaluate behaviour environmental impact of two differe...

intercropping is considered as a method for increasing yield per unit and stability. in order to evaluate the effects of phosphorous biofertilizer and chemical phosphorous on fodder quality of corn (zea mays l.) and grass pea (lathyrus sativa l.) intercropping, two field experiments were conducted as factorial based on randomized complete block design with four replications at two places simult...

This study investigates the optimal conditions for preparation of corn cob based activated carbon (CCAC) for the removal of Remazol Brilliant Blue R (RBBR) reactive dye from aqueous solution. The CCAC was prepared by using physiochemical activation method which consisted of sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) and CO2 gasification. Central composite design (CCD) was used to determine the effects of the th...

Xylan, a green biopolymer extracted from agro-waste corn cob may be used as a tool to deliver drugs principally to the colon because of their timely retention in the physiological environment of stomach and small intestine and can only be degraded in colon by vast anaerobic microflora such as Bifidobacterium. Present research work relates to incorporate the drug molecule such as 5-aminosalicyli...

Immobilized Candida tropicalis cells in freeze dried calcium alginate beads were used for production of xylitol from lignocellulosic waste like corn cob hydrolysate without any detoxification and sterilization of media. Media components for xylitol fermentation were screened by statistical methods. Urea, KH2PO4 and initial pH were identified as significant variables by Plackett-Burman (PB) desi...

Samples of feed ingredients were collected from poultry feed mills in the United States and Canada: corn (133), soybean meal (114), corn distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS; 89), bakery by-product meal (95), wheat (22), wheat middlings (31), canola meal (21), and wheat shorts (15). The samples were assayed by standard wet chemical techniques for CP, fat, neutral detergent fiber (NDF), a...

The evaluation of the combinational ability maize I-lines was carried out on basis “the number grains cob”. This parameter is one significant components structure plant productivity and harvest directly dependent grain rows in a cob row. quantitative manifestation this trait significantly influenced by environmental conditions. A negative correlation studied with seed size revealed. Growing con...
