The objective of the present work was to evaluate novel active films made with biopolymeric matrices as carriers a living Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus HD100 strain, predatory bacterium antimicrobial potentials against pathogens. Biopolymer were prepared by casting method using following mixtures: collagen/sodium alginate/sorbitol (CA-S), alginate/glycerol (CA-G), and tapioca starch/sodium (StA-G)...

The present study evaluated the nutritional characteristics of Tapioca- a partially gelatinized starch grit made from cassava supplemented with fermented and germinated moringa seed flour. proximate composition, mineral, vitamin, amino acid profile, functional properties sensory attributes tapioca-moringa flour blends were determined. It was observed that protein content increased 2.85% − 11.05...

Amyloglucosidase (α-1, 4 glucan glucohydrolase EC 3.2.1.3) hydrolyses amylaceous polysaccharides, removing successive glucose units in the β configuration from the non-reducing end of the chain. Amyloglucosidase is of considerable commercial importance to grain alcohol fermentation, food, textile and pharmaceutical industry. The aim of this study is to purify and characterize amyloglucosidase P...

Abstract Renewable energy is an alternative to fossil fuels due the limited supply of and greenhouse gas emission contribution. Bioenergy one renewable energies that derived from biomass. Biomass waste, namely durian peel sewage sludge, has potential as raw material for bioenergy because its content. Moreover, carbonization biomass water can improve heating value material. This study aims inves...

Actuators triggered by water evaporation have found potential applications in a wide range of emerging fields, including smart structures, power generators, artificial muscles, and soft robots. In addition to poor mechanical performance, conventional actuators raise major economic environmental concerns due their expensive complex synthesis processes with hazardous chemicals high ecological foo...

Interactions among dietary ingredients are often assumed non-existent when evaluating the nutritive value and health effects of dietary fiber. Specific fibers can distinctly affect digestive processes; therefore, digestibility and fermentability of the complete diet may depend on fiber types present. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of readily fermentable fibers (β-glucans and resistant...

in this paper effect of sio 2 nanoparticles was investigated on potato starch films. potato starch films were prepared by casting method with addition of nano-silicon dioxide and a mixture of sorbitol/glycerol (weight ratio of 3 to 1) as plasticizers. sio 2 nanoparticles incorporated to the potato starch films at different concentrations 0, 1, 2, 3, and 5% of total solid, and the films were dri...

Starchgelatin binary binder mixtures were applied in the formulation of sodium salicylate tablets. Locally developed cassava starch (tapioca starch) was used as a co-binder with gelatin. Wet granulation method was used to formulate different batches of sodium salicylate tablets with varying binder concentrations (1-5%w/w) and starch – gelatin binder ratios (25:75, 50:50, 75:25 and 0:100). The s...
