Whilst existing studies tend to centre the experiences of white parents raising their children, article, we foreground perspectives familial practice...

Different condition referred used without drying as fresh (GalFN) and which is done by dry (GalDN). Extraction method aqueous extraction followed precipitation ethanol. Polysaccharide studied in detail ...

Does the transnational process of gamete selection challenge ways mobilizing race and whiteness? Based on a mobile ethnography fertility industry, I argue that experts intended parents (IP) co-produce desirability whiteness through “racial matching” for white, heterosexual IP, “strategic hybridization”, or strategic mixing gametes, some same-sex IP who do not identify as white.

Chitosan is an N-deacetylated biopolymer derivative of chitin (2-acetamido-2-deoxyβ-D-glucose through a β (1-4) linkage). The deacetylation is never complete. There is no specified nomenclature that describes the degree of deacetylation [1]. Chitin can be easily acquired from crab or shrimp shells. Its N-deacetylation is performed under alkali environment. The chitin that has been obtained from...

Previous studies have determined the potential location for sweetpotato flour processing and also examined the processing procedure necessary to produce marketable and profitably flour. This paper reports the second technical trial in which conversion rate and flour quality (i.e., whiteness and coarseness) were further investigated by selecting for sweetpotato roots with high dry matter content...
