Cationic waxy corn starch was prepared from waxy corn starch with 2,3epoxypropyl trimethyl ammonium chloride (ETMAC) as a cationic etherifying reagent. Its structure was identified by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD). The results showed that quaternary ammonium groups were introduced successfully into the waxy...

An aqueous solution of tapioca starch was successfully used as a chelating agent in the sol-gel synthesis Co0.7Me0.3Fe2O4, where Me denotes Co, Mn, Cu, Ni, or Zn. The hysteresis loops all sintered ferrites revealed ferrimagnetic properties. saturation magnetization reduced Co0.7Cu0.3Fe2O4 and Co0.7Ni0.3Fe2O4 because ion substitutions with smaller magnetic moments. Interestingly, exhibited highe...

Probiotics have been utilized as an option to treat problems brought on by safe and ecologically friendly pathogenic microorganisms in shrimp fish farming operations. are currently available powder form (dry form). Using spray drying technology, dry probiotics produced, with the finished result being a stable powder. In order regulate proliferation of harmful bacteria digestive tract, these use...

Three experiments of 60 days duration were conducted in post larval stage of Indian white shrimp, Fenneropenaeus indicus, to explore the appropriate protein: lipid ratios in their diets. A common ingredient mixture consisting of; fish meal, shrimp meal, ground nut oil cake, cholesterol, lecithin, vitamins and minerals blended with chicken egg albumin, tapioca flour and cellulose (filler) was us...
