A pectinase producing fungus was isolated from compost soil. Morphological characteristics, microscopic observations and molecular characterization based on internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences led to its identification as Aspergillus niger (GenBank Accession Number: JX556221) and it was designated as Aspergillus niger strain K3. In the present study, the culture condition of the media w...

In the present study, media composition for high production of pectinase by Enterobacter sp. PSTB-1 in submerged fermentation was optimized using response surface methodology (RSM). Mango fruit processing industrial waste (MIW) was used as substrate (carbon source) as it contains high amount of pectin. Enterobacter sp. PSTB-1 used in present study has given pectin clear zone (PCZ) of 34 mm is h...

The present paper investigates to examine the in vitro antibacterial activities of the chromium nanopartical which preparied by -green synthesis techniquesreduction of potassium dichromate solution with Arachis hypogaea leaf extract containing reducing sugars which act as reducing agent. Chromium nanoparticles were shown to be an effective control of two phytopathogenic bacteria, namely Erwinia...

Pectinases are widely used in food processing, textile and other allied industries. Cassava peels generated from cassava processing outfits constitutes one of the major environmental pollutions Nigeria there is need to find alternative economic value waste instead indiscriminately disposing them as currently done. This study reports optimization pectinase production Bacillus subtilis PSE-8 usin...

Pectinolytic enzymes are an important tool for sustainable food production, with a wide range of applications in processing technologies as well the extraction bioactive compounds from pectin-rich raw materials. In present study, we immobilized commercial pectinase preparation onto pellet and thread shaped nylon 6/6 carriers assessed its stability reusability. Five preparations were tested diff...

The goal is to improve the flavors of Arabica coffee by combining semi-carbonic maceration (SCM) process, with enzymatic process at various lengths and temperature. Five different variations SCM processes were investigated: pulped natural (control); 15 oC for 10 days (SCM-15); 20 (SCM-20); 0.01 g.L-1 pectinases A (polygalacturonase, pectin esterase lyase) 5 (SCM-PA); 0.03 B esterase, lyase ß-gl...

Comparative efficacy of brodifacoum, bromadialone (second-generation single-dose anticoagulant) was evaluated in a coconut crop on Minicoy Island. Preand postrodent control relative levels of rodent populations and damages were recorded as indices for assessing effectiveness of different concentrations and different bait formulations of three rodenticides. The black rat, Rattus rattus (Linnaeus...

As natural fibers, low-cost biosorbents have proven to be an effective and clean tool remove textile dyes from wastewater. In this research, the Reactive Black 5 removal ability of original enzyme-modified fibers were assessed. A fiber extracted a Colombian fique plant (Furcraea sp.) was employed. The effects protonation with different solvents dye solution pH on RB5 evaluated. biosorbent chemi...

The effect of ultrafiltered xylanase-pectinase concoction produced simultaneously by a bacterial isolate using agro-waste-based media was assessed in prebleaching of plywood waste pulp. Ultrafiltered enzymes caused 12.5% reduction in kappa number at reduced enzyme dose of xylanase-pectinase (4.0-0.8 IU) per gram of pulp under optimized conditions at pH 8.5, temperature 55 °C, and treatment peri...
