Nine Aspergillus and three of Trichoderma strains were grown on wheat bran (WB) medium under solid state fermentation (SSF) for amylase production. Aspergillus oryzae LS1 produced the highest level of the enzyme. The thermal stability profile of its crude enzyme revealed the half-life time of more than 2 h at 50 and 60oC. The enzyme production was affected by strain type, incubation periods, le...

in iran, there are about 10% losses in black tea processing, which is called tea dust. tea dust is produced through black tea screening, during the last stage of production. in this research, regarding the increasing demand for new beverages, the production of iced tea beverage using black tea dust was investigated. process of iced tea involved tea solid extraction and then mixing with edible a...

Effect of heating on the development of volatile aroma constituents of palm olein and selected oils was studied. The aroma constituents of heated oils were collected using a solid-phase microextraction (SPME) headspace technique with an adsorbent of a divinylbenzene/carboxen (50/ 30μm) on polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) fibre. The extracted volatiles were desorbed from the fibre in the injection po...

The present study evaluates the effect of drying treatments such as convective air drying and freeze-drying on the colour, texture, chemical properties (ash, sugars, fibre and vitamin C), phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity of cucumber. The trials in the convective chamber were done at 40 oC and 60 oC, in the drying tunnel were done at 60oC and in the freeze dryer were done at -50oC. It...

Moisture transfer characteristics of dambu-nama (DN) as influenced by addition citric acid, salt and sugar hurdles were investigated. Four products comprising DN with 0.1% acid + 2% (DNC0.1); DN+ 0.2% (DNC0.2); 0.3% +2% (DNC0.3) a control without , or (DNC0) produced subjected to moisture sorption studies at different temperatures (30, 40, 50 60oC) relative humidities of(10-96%). Incorporation ...

The gram-positive spore-forming bacteria, Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) strains produced novel cellulases which could liberate glucose from soluble cellulose, carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), and insoluble crystalline cellulose. The maximal cellulase activities were obtained after 60 hrs incubation at 28oC in a LB broth medium with 1% CMC. Maximum CMCase activities were got at 40oC and pH 4.0, resp...

Bu çalışmada balkabağının (Cucurbita moschata) kurutma kinetiği ve bazı fonksiyonel özellikleri üzerine ultrases destekli ozmotik dehidrasyon (US-OD) ön işleminin etkisi araştırılmıştır. Örnekler 3 farklı konsantrasyonda (%12.5, %25 %50) şeker çözeltisi içeren ultrasonik banyo içerisinde kavitasyon işlemi ile (45 kHz, 90 dakika) dehidre edilmiş ardından sıcak havada yöntemi kullanılarak 60oC sı...

Culinary cassava (Manihot esculenta L.) qualities that make a variety popular are a function of starch physicochemical properties. Hence, in response to inferior root qualities in some released cassava varieties in Uganda compared to the local germplasm, a study was undertaken to examine: (i) starch physicochemical characteristics in both introduced and local varieties; and (ii) the variation i...

magnetite (feo.fe2o3) nanoparticles immobilized on silica and modified by treatment apolaccase were used to decolorize the industrial wastewater from basic red 9 (br9 by way of fenton and fenton-like processes. the surface changes to the silica were determined by scanning electron microscopy, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction and energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy. th...

In this study, it is aimed to investigate the influence of rice husk ash, which a waste by-product industrial production, on ultrasonic pulse velocity, compressive strength, flexural strength and high temperature endurance metakaolin-based geopolymer mortar. For this, sand was substituted by ash (RHA) at rate 25%, 50% 75% wt. in production A total 4 series mortars (reference three with RHA subs...
