Fermented maize product ‘ogi’ is a popular weaning and breakfast cereal in sub-Saharan Africa traditionally made from maize, sorghum or millet. It is prepared by steeping clean grains in water at room temperature (25±2 0C) for two to three days [1]. The steep water is decanted and the fermented grain is washed with clean water and then wet-milled. The bran is removed by wet sieving and the slur...

Until a year ago the patient, a girl aged 5 years, was to all appearances norma], mentally and physically. During the dst twelve months she became fat, listless, unusually silent, Prone to sit about, disinclined to take an interest in her Surroundings or to play with other children. With the increasing fatness growth in stature was at an normally vigorous rate, hair developing on the limbs and ...

This paper presents the development of low cost Nano membrane fabrication system. The system is specially designed for anodic aluminum oxide membrane. This system is capable to perform the processes such as anodization and electro-polishing. The designed machine was successfully tested for ‘mild anodization’ (MA) for 48 hours and ‘hard anodization’ (HA) for 3 hours at constant 0C. The system is...

Vacuum dried Metronidazole hydrochloride (MTZ) loaded Crosslinked polymeric blend of Poly(vinyl)alcohol (PVA) and Gelatin(GE) in different ratios by 30 freeze/thaw cycles (FTC) tested for stimuli sensitivity and crosslinking at various pH, temperature, ionic concentration and oscillatory test along with dye absorption test showed maximum swelling in alkaline pH and decreased swelling with incre...

The thermal stability of nano composite materials is the important aspect modern era. In advance devices, nanostructures and material are used for biological other applications. aluminum oxide most prominent oxides at scale that show different structures, electrical properties which make it useful in Sol-Gel technique was synthesis to grow these Al2O3-ZrO2. Thermal achieved thermo-gravimetric (...

In the present study, we have explored potential of newly isolated Aspergillus terreus BD strain, which can accumulate itaconic acid (IA) at higher temperature. The shake flask cultivation thermotolerant strain with medium optimized using Box-Behnken Design 45 °C resulted in IA accumulation 28.9 g/L yield 0.27 g/g. enzymatic saccharification synthetic food waste (SFW) consisting potatoes, rice ...

This study has investigated the effect of hydroperoxide treatment on properties bagasse fibers in order to get value added material using by-products from sugar production such as reinforcement for composite materials. The results processing with at different concentration, temperature and treatement time showed that condition had a great influence obtained fibers. With suitable conditions 10% ...
