This study aims to determine the source of eco-enzyme raw materials and most appropriate dilution volume produce quality fertilizer for plant growth. 1 (sugar): 3 (fruit vegetable waste): 10 (water). The resulting liquid is processed into through process. Eco-enzyme fertilizers from each material contain different organic N, P, K, C nutrients. Besides that, some enzymes are beneficial plants. r...

Over the last century the world has become dependant on fossil fuels as the primary source of hydrocarbons for energy and industry. These resources are finite and non renewable and their exploitation releases massive amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. The identification of sustainable replacements has been an ongoing area of research for many years. Plant triacylglycerol (TAG) oils ...

Feed security, feed quality and issues surrounding the safety of raw materials are always of interest to all livestock farmers, feed manufacturers and competent authorities. These concerns are even more important when alternative feed ingredients, new product developments and innovative feeding trends, like insect-meals, are considered. The black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) is considered a ...

Oil crops are one of the most valuable traded agricultural commodities and are probably worth over $100 billion/yr. The current volume of traded vegetable oils is over 70 Mt per year and is predicted to increased to over 100 Mt per year by the year 2010 (Murphy 1996). This is probably a considerable underestimate of the total volume of oil production since, particularly in developing countries,...

Indian spinach (Basella alba) originates from Asia but is now grown in most tropical regions as a leafy vegetable crop. It is usually cooked but can also be used raw in salads. Rice hulls (or rice husks) are the hard protecting coverings of grains of rice. In addition to protecting rice during the growing season, rice hulls can be put to use as building material, fertilizer, insulation material...

Dietary pattern analysis is an epidemiological method designed to consider the complexity of food preferences and diet patterns of populations. Few studies from South Asia have used this methodology to describe population food intake. Our objective was to identify dietary patterns and understand their associations with sociodemographic, anthropometric and life-style factors among low-income Pak...

Leuconostoc (Ln.), Weissella, and Oenococcus form a group of related genera of lactic acid bacteria, which once all shared the name Leuconostoc. They are associated with plants, fermented vegetable products, raw milk, dairy products, meat, and fish. Most of industrially relevant Leuconostoc strains can be classified as either Ln. mesenteroides or Ln. pseudomesenteroides. They are important flav...

In a supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) unit, one generally can change the temperature, pressure, extraction bed size, solvent flow rate, among others, in order to maximize the global yield. The morphology of the solid substrate particle can also influence the extraction efficiency, since the solvent must cross diffusive paths inside the solid particle, in order to extract specific compounds ...

Group A rotaviruses (RVs) are the most important cause of acute viral gastroenteritis in infants and young children. In this study raw and treated drinking water supplies at plants in two geographic areas, as well as selected irrigation water and corresponding raw vegetables in three regions of southern Africa, were screened for the presence of RVs using molecular techniques. Group A RVs were d...
