Digital image processing is an emerging tool to predict fruit quality; therefore present study was carried out to develop an image processing technique for investigating the storage life of cantaloupe. Potassium permanganate (KMnO4) impregnated materials were used to prolong the postharvest life of cantaloupe fruit and the effects of these treatments were evaluated by 3 image textural features ...

The oxidation of chlorinated ethenes by potassium permanganate (KMnO4) is increasingly being used to remediate contaminated ground water. Typically the remediation of these sites is assessed by tracking changes in the concentrations of the chlorinated compounds and the chloride produced by the reaction. However, this method can be problematic in a fractured bedrock environment, due to the inher...

Climacteric fruits (banana, apple, pear, avocado, garden egg and mango) are actually eaten when ripen; but is not palatable ripens decreases demand. Influence of packaging material rates potassium permanganate (KMnO4) on postharvest ripening was evaluated to access the interactive effect KMnO4 in delaying ripening. Two materials; polythene jute bags, at 0g, 3g, 6g 9g were used. The experiment a...

Water is a basic need for humans, yet often the quality and quantity become cronstrained as happened in Mojoagung District, Jombang Regency. During dry season, potential water reserves available use rainwater that has been stored. Based on laboratory tests, of stored below standard due to its high KMnO4 (Calium Permanganate) content. Hence we simple filter improve quality. Researchers have cond...

Different chemical formulations for the synthesis of highly intercalated graphite bisulfate have been tested. In particular, nitric acid, potassium nitrate, potassium dichromate, potassium permanganate, sodium periodate, sodium chlorate, and hydrogen peroxide have been used in this synthesis scheme as the auxiliary reagent (oxidizing agent). In order to evaluate the presence of delamination, an...

Potassium permanganate (KMnO4 ) is a powerful oxidising agent. In its raw form, it an odourless, sweet-tasting, dark-purple substance, available in ready-to-use solutions, pellets, tablets, crystals and powder form. clinical practice historically, has been used as antiseptic antifungal rural South African communities, however, KMnO4 many traditional uses, including use snake repellent, treatmen...

Amyloidosis of urinary bladder is a rare condition and may be primary or secondary in nature. A case of primary localized vesical amyloidosis (VA) in a 40-yr-old man is described which was confused with neoplasm by cystoscopic, urographic and other studies. Surgical specimens obtained by transurethral resection (TUR) were diagnostic and histologically revealed amyloid deposits in sub-epithelial...

We have examined the reactivity of B DNA with two chemical probes of DNA structure, potassium permanganate (KMnO4; thymine specific) and diethyl pyrocarbonate (DEPC; purine specific, A greater than G). The DNA probed is from the beta-lactamase promoter region of the vector pBR322, and from the 3' noncoding region of a chicken embryonic myosin heavy chain gene. The chemical probes display variab...

In Nigeria, potassium permanganate (KMnO4) is used as a chemical oxidant in the removal of hydrocarbons from polluted soils and groundwater, but there no information on effects KMnO4 geotechnical properties soil. this study, was added separately to lateritic soil kaolin at concentrations 0 %, 2 5% 10 % by weight dry Each mixes then subjected grain size analysis, Atterberg limits, specific gravi...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the combination two ethylene removal methods and temperature on post-harvest quality peaches. For purpose, filters with potassium permanganate (KMnO4) lamps emitting ultraviolet light (UV) were mounted machines which enabled air movement in conservation chambers, facilitating by KMnO4 photocatalysis simultaneously. This system used at temperatures, 1 °C 25 ...
