Secondary atmospheric pollutions may result from wet flue gas desulfurization (WFGD) systems caused by the reduction of Hg(2+) to Hg(0) and lead to a damping of the cobenefit mercury removal efficiency by WFGD systems. The experiment on Hg(0) reemission from limestone-gypsum WFGD slurry was carried out by changing the operating conditions such as the pH, temperature, Cl(-) concentrations, and o...

The present study describes the screening of different agroindustrial byproducts for enhanced production of alkaline protease by a wild and EMS induced mutant strain of Bacillus subtilis IH-72(EMS8). During submerged fermentation, different agro-industrial byproducts were tested which include defatted seed meals of rape, guar, sunflower, gluten, cotton, soybean, and gram. In addition to these m...

Extrusion cooking as an attractive process for continuous food production has been extensively developed in recent years. The high temperature–short time extrusion cooking is used in the food industry to produce direct expanded products such as snack foods, breakfast cereals and pet foods (Miller, 1990; Moore, 1994; Rokey, 1994). Extrusion of food material results in starch gelatinization, dena...

The objective of this study is to explore the effects of cereal supplementation, which contains many nutritional factors including amino acids, on renal function and morphological structure in 5/6 nephrectomized rats. Male Spraque-Dawley rats, 250-300 g, were divided into sham control (Group 1) and nephrectomized (Group 2 and Group 3) groups. The 5/6 nephrectomy was performed by removal of the ...

Obesity affects 27.5% of Australian women. Breakfast cereal consumption has been proposed to be protective against obesity. This study investigated the association of breakfast cereal consumption with the risk of developing obesity (Body Mass Index (BMI) ≥ 30 kg/m²) over 12 years among mid-age participants in the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health (ALSWH). Dietary data were obtaine...

Cross sectional data from a survey of 2512 men aged 45-49 years were used to examine the confounding effects of heart rate, employment, and ischaemic heart disease (IHD) on the relation between cereal fibre intake and blood pressure. Daily cereal fibre intake (g/day) was associated with systolic pressure (r = -0.053, p less than 0.01), diastolic pressure (r = -0.057, p less than 0.01), and hear...

AIM The study was conducted to estimate the contribution of edible byproducts of Barbari kids to their live and carcass weight as well as to assess textural and color characteristics and microbiological status of these byproducts. MATERIALS AND METHODS Percent live weight, Percent carcass weight, Texture, color, and microbiological analysis was done for edible byproducts viz. liver, heart, ki...

Five trials investigated the feeding value of wet and dried corn distillers byproducts as a source of protein and energy for growing and finishing cattle and investigated the effect of heat damage on the feeding value of dried distillers byproducts. In a calf growth trial, no differences in rate of gain or protein efficiency were observed among calves fed wet distillers byproducts (wet distille...

While the US nut industry is growing, markets for by-products, particularly nutshells and tree prunings, have not kept pace. Torrefaction a thermochemical process used to improve physicochemical properties of biomass energy other applications. The goal paper was characterize effects range torrefaction conditions on by-product feedstock. consists thermal treatment at temperature between 200 300°...
