Vetiver grass was harvested at 4, 6 and 8-week regrowth and were ensiled with cassava peels at ratio 60:40 and 100% without cassava peels. The quality and chemical composition of the silages were assessed. The silages along with fresh unensiled re-growths of vetiver grass were fed to WAD goats in a cafeteria method to determine the coefficient of preference of the diets. Results showed that ens...

Due to the great importance of edible fungi, their rapid life cycle, and possibility production throughout year, cultivation has become a vital resource that many countries depend on in pursuit economic growth food security. The present study aimed devise local nutrient media for primary mycelium nine species fungi belonging Pleurotus eryngii , floridanus ostreatus (white strain) Agaricus heter...

Cassava pulp was fermented with pure strains of Saccharomyces cerevisae and two bacteria namely Lactobacillus delbruckii and Lactobacillus coryneformis for 3 days. The squeezed liquid from the fermented pulp was used to ferment cassava peels for 7 days. Analysis of the dried fermented peels revealed that there was a significant (P < 0.05) increase in the protein content of the cassava peels fer...

This work focuses on the development of a novel type chemically activated carbon networks composited with graphene oxide. Here, were derived from green biomass wastes such as orange peels, banana peels and potato starch. All obtained materials being using different activating agents based higher specific capacitance phosphoric acid peel carbon, sulphuric hydrochloric Further they individually o...

With respect to their browning potential and in consideration of a combined recovery of pectin and phenolic compounds, peels of 14 cultivars and the flesh of nine cultivars of mango (Mangifera indica L.) fruits were analyzed for their contents of flavonol O- and xanthone C-glycosides by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-diode array detection-electrospray ionization mass spectrometry...

The effects of time, acid concentration, temperature and solid concentration on dilute-acid hydrolysis of orange peels were investigated. A central composite rotatable experimental design (CCRD) was applied to study the individual effects of these hydrolysis factors and also their interdependence effects. The enzymatic hydrolysis of the peels by cellulase, β-glucosidase, and pectinase enzymes r...

Potato peel wastes are generated in high quantities from potato processing industries. They pollutants to the environment, and they release greenhouse gases into atmosphere. The present study assessed potentiality of hydrolyzing by amylase-producing fungi improve biogas generation peels through anaerobic digestion process. Different fungal isolates were screened for amylase production on wastes...

Chlorpropham (isopropyl 3-chlorocarbanilate) is a pesticide used to control sprouting of potatoes during long-term storage. The objective of the present study was to establish the total chlorpropham residue balance (residues in unwashed and washed whole tubers, peeled tubers, peels, boiled and pureed tubers, and washing and cooking waters) for two potato varieties after uniform application as a...
