Starch sludge (SS) is a bulky main waste from modified tapioca starch production, high potential substrate for alternative volatile fatty acids (VFA) production. Because it has relatively organic content in SS easy and fast to convert into VFA. However, there are limitations when fed overloading rate anaerobic digestion (AD) system affecting the VFA production yield performance. This research a...

Purpose The impact of potassium permanganate (KMnO 4 ) treatment on the tensile strength an alkali-treated pineapple leaf fiber (PALF) reinforced with tapioca-based bio resin (cassava starch) was studied. Design/methodology/approach PALF exposed to sodium hydroxide (NaOH) in varying concentrations 2.0, 3.7, 4.5 and 5.5g prior KMnO . treated untreated PALFs were resin. Subsequently, they subject...

The open burning of agricultural residues derived from rice is a social issue in Thailand, as it causes air pollution the form smoke. A way to prevent smoke pulverize glycosylated non-edible biomass and convert monosodium glutamate (MSG). This study assessed MSG produced by compared environmental performance using tapioca starch. scope this ranges cultivation raw materials production MSG. adopt...

Starch- graft -poly(lactic acid) is put forward as an efficient compatibilizer of thermoplastic starch – PLA binary blend for a sustainable and high barrier film structures.

Starch-water slurries are commonly used to study fracture dynamics. Drying starch cakes benefit from being simple, economical, and reproducible systems, and have been used to model desiccation fracture in soils, thin-film fracture in paint, and columnar joints in lava. In this paper, the physical properties of starch-water mixtures are studied, and used to interpret and develop a multiphase tra...
