The present experiment aimed at increasing orange peel and sugar beet pulp protein content through solid-state fermentation by Trichoderma reesei and Trichoderma viride. In vitro digestibility and changes in the chemical composition of the fermented products were determined after seven days of fungal cultivation using gas production tests. The cultivation of T. reesei and T. viride on orange pe...

The adsorption of chromium(VI) ions from aqueous solutions has been investigated on Neem sawdust (NS), Mango sawdust (MS), Wheat shell (WS), Sugarcane bagasse (SB) and Orange peel (OP). The adsorbent which showed highest chromium(VI) removal was Neem sawdust. The influence of pH, contact time, biomass dosage and initial metal concentration on biosorption was investigated. The biosorptive capaci...

We have studied the behavior of interlayer coupling in giant magnetoresistance spin valves as a function of seed layer composition and spacer layer thickness. Using in situ scanning tunneling microscopy, we have measured directly the roughness of the top surface of the lower ferromagnetic layer. We find that the seed layer composition is correlated to the roughnesses of the interfaces inside th...

An agricultural by-product waste: orange peel was tested for the removal of four acid dyes from aqueous solutions in batch conditions. As results obtained, kinetics of dyes sorption was time of contact, initial dyes concentration and dyes type dependent. The pseudo second-order reaction rate model adequately described the kinetics of dyes sorption with high correlation coefficients. Langmuir mo...

Environmental concerns and the positive aspects of biowaste materials gained attention researchers to use them as filler in fabricating green composites along with polymer matrices, but most are not suitable for extensive applications high thermal applications. In natural particulate having ability fight against pathogens. To overcome such barriers, a modification biowaste—orange peel powder (O...

Background: Citrus sinensis L., commonly called sweet orange, fruit waste (peel, seed, and pulp) oils, are used as natural preservatives due to their broad spectrum of biological activities, including antimicrobial antioxidant effects. Objective: The aim this study was investigate the physicochemical properties, activities orange peel pulp oils extracted using solvent extraction method. Methods...

Orange wastes, including peel and pulp, were used as a biorefinery feedstock to produce pectin, ethanol, biogas. The orange wastes subjected dilute acid treatment with sulfuric (1% w/v) at 94, 100, 140, 180 °C for 60, 30, 0 min. was performed pectin extraction, sugars hydrolysis, lignocellulose pretreatment. extracted from the hydrolysate, liquor pretreated solid anaerobically digested highest ...

Large quantities of fruit wastes are generated during the consumption and processing fruits. The disposal in an environmentally benign way is a challenging task. biochar production from by pyrolysis receiving huge attention because it can alleviate pollution provide supply sustainably. In this study, five waste types—orange peel, banana mango endocarp, apricot kernel shell, date pits—are examin...

AIMS To further explore the anti-inflammatory properties of d-Limonene. MAIN METHODS A rat model was used to compare evolution of TNBS (2,5,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid)-induced colitis after oral feeding with d-Limonene compared to ibuprofen. Peripheral levels of TNF-α (Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha) were assessed in all animals. Cell cultures of fibroblasts and enterocytes were used to tes...

Biomass occupies a significant proportion of municipal solid waste. For the high-value processing waste biomass, hydrothermal-carbonization method was chosen because advantages effective and mild conditions. Four typical types biomass (banana peel, mangosteen orange pomelo peel) were used in this work to prepare carbon aerogels (CA) via treatment for cracking ethanol. kinds CA all had good perf...
