Since the conventional esterification method requires longer processing time and obtain low yield, the intensification of this process is still interesting subject to be investigated. To reduce the oil extraction cost from seeds which almost 70% of total processing cost, in situ esterification has been recently introduced. The objective of study was to produce biodiesel from rubber seeds oil th...

Rheology of the solid and melted cheese depends upon their functional properties. Farinograph is used for quality determination of wheat flour dough. Determination of the rheological properties of dough and dough like food materials from Farinograph is easy while study of cheese characteristics is very difficult and complicated. The present study is therefore designed for the possibility of qua...

Tetra-N-Butyl Ammonium Hydroxide was used as a catalyst for one-pot, three component condensation reactions consisting of aromatic aldehydes, malononitrile and barbituric acid in ethanol:water solvent system at 60oC. Current method has major advantages like mild reaction conditions with simple operation, high yields, by using a less toxic and lower costlier catalyst.In conclusion, we have explo...

Bacillus sp. MG-33 was isolated from the desert of Rajasthan (India). The organism produced 500 and 200 Ug of thermostable mannanase (after 96h) in solid state fermentation (SSF) of wheat bran and wheat straw rich-soda pulp at the moisture ratio of 1:1.5 and 1:3 at 30oC, respectively. Two-step partially purified mannanase was optimally active at 65oC and was 100% thermostable at 55 to 60oC for ...

In the present study, a mutant strain of Saccharomyces cerevisae EMS-42 was used for the biosynthesis of invertase (E.C.3.2.1.26). Both types of invertases i.e., extracellular and intracellular invertase are present in S. cerevisae. An extracellular invertase was purified to homogeneity by two step purification i.e., ammonium sulfate precipitation and DEAE-Sephadex A-50. The enzyme was present ...

The present study is concerned with the improvement of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain UNG-16 for alpha amylase production. The bacterial culture was exposed to UV irradiation at 1.6×10 J/m/S for 15-60 min. However, UV induced viables did not give improved alpha amylase production; therefore chemical mutation using ethyl methane sulphonate (EMS 50-300 μl/ml) was undertaken for 10-60 min. The ...
