proteases catalyze the hydrolysis of peptide bonds in proteins. they are widely distributed in nature, nearly in all plants, animals and microorganisms. plant latex is a rich source of proteases. latex production is unique property of euphorbian plant, which could be a potential source of proteolytic enzymes. the highest proteolytic activity was observed in the latex of pedilanthus tithymaloide...

Abstract The urge for a sustainable and non-polluting industry has raised the need search an alternative insulating fluid that could be used in transformers, because of negative environmental effect mineral-based fluids. Natural esters from non-edible oil seeds showed to feasible alternative, unfortunately they possess poor thermooxidative properties. Neem trees grow nearly on all types soils c...

In this study, it was aimed to determine some element contents and quality properties compare these parameters at each stage in the chemically refining process of crude corn oil. Color (lovibond tintometer), free fatty acidity, peroxide values acid compositions were determined samples oil taken from consecutive stages refining. Also, content elements (Na, Mg, K, Ca, Fe, Pb, Cd, Ni, Mn, Zn, Co, ...

Apart from the widely discussed pineapple leaf fibers, normally referred to as PALF, fibers other parts of plant also exist, particularly those in fruit crown, which are known crown (PCLF). In this work, PCLF were characterized using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Fourier transform IR spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and atomic force (AFM). Th...

Abstract Pumpkin seed oil, also called as pepita oil can be a substitute of conventional edible now days. A method has been developed to use this under-utilized pumpkin which is common vegetable in Bangladesh. This study suggests finding new alternate well proper utilization nutritionally rich rather than wasting into the environment. was extracted from dried by expeller and it purified refinin...

Biodiesel (BD) is receiving increased attention as an alternative, non-toxic, biodegradable, and renewable diesel fuel. Exploring new energy resources, such as BD fuel, is of growing importance in recent years. The main concern with BD fuel is its high price. One of the future aims in BD research is on the selection of inexpensive feedstock with high value–added byproducts. Rice bran is a by-pr...

Separation or formulation of products by supercritical fluids and production of substances and composites with unique properties and characteristics for the use in different applications are nowadays intensively studied. One of the most important advantages using supercritical fluids is selective extraction of components or fractionation of total extracts. As yet, industrial dense gas extractio...
