Optimization of Enzymatic saccharification conditions for acid treated bmr sorghum biomass was studied with the inhouse enzyme produced from Aspergillus sp.. Optimization of enzyme loading, substrate concentration, temperature and time yielded a maximum of 416.00 ± 0.55 mg/g sugars with an improved hydrolysis efficiency of 55.97 ± 0.45%. Protein adsorption onto lignocellulosic substance was inv...

A ligand free, Palladium nanoparticles catalyzed synthesis of pyran derivatives using C-H activated compound, malononitrile and aryl aldehyde via Knoevenagel condensation followed by Michael addition reaction using Palladium nanoparticles as catalyst in one-pot is described herein. The advantages of this method lie in its simplicity, low catalyst loading, cost effectiveness and easy to handle. ...

We examine the fluorescence anisotropy of rod-shaped guests held inside the channels of tris(o-phenylenedioxy)cyclotriphosphazene (TPP) host nanocrystals, characterized by powder X-ray diffraction and solid state NMR spectroscopy. We address two issues: (i) are light polarization measurements on an aqueous colloidal solution of TPP nanocrystals meaningful, or is depolarization by scattering exc...

With regard to the application in a microstructured reactor, a special VOx/Al2O3 catalyst powder (3 μm) was prepared and characterised by BET, XRD, UV/Vis DRS, and Raman spectroscopy. The higher the vanadium content, the higher the degree of polymerisation of the vanadium species on the support surface and the lower the BET surface area. Pelletised powders were tested in conventional tubular re...

Multidimensional shearforce-based constant-distance mode scanning electrochemical microscopy (4D SF/CD-SECM) was utilized for the investigation of the activity distribution of oxygen reduction catalysts. Carbon-supported Pt model catalyst powders have been immobilized in recessed microelectrodes and compared to a spot preparation technique. Microcavities serve as platform for the binder-free ca...

Background: In the production of instant pepper powder, some manufacturers add adulterants to powder. Objective: This study aimed detect presence corn added in white products market. Method: The TLC Fingerprint analysis was used. Fingerprints were made using from three regions Indonesia: Tasikmalaya, Kalimantan, and Bangka. used as adulterant came West Java, Central Kalimantan. Extraction carri...

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of solid carriers and processing routes on the properties of amorphous solid dispersions of itraconazole. Three solid carriers with a range of surface properties were studied, (1) a mesoporous silicate, magnesium aluminum silicate (Neusilin US2), (2) a nonporous silicate of corresponding composition (Veegum) and (3) a non-silicate, inorganic ...

This study describes a systematic approach of TiO2/carbon black nanoparticles with respect to the loading amount in order to optimize the catalytic ability of triiodide reduction for dye-sensitized solar cells. In particular, the cell using an optimized TiO2 and carbon black electrode presents an energy conversion efficiency of 7.4% with a 5:1 ratio of a 40-nm TiO2 to carbon black. Based on the...

Taitz, L. S., and Byers, H. D. (1972). Archives of Disease in Childhood, 47, 257. High calorie/osmolar feeding and hypertonic dehydration. Analysis of the sodium content of milk taken from bottles brought by mothers to feed their babies while waiting in the postnatal clinic indicates that the tendency to use excessive amounts of milk powder in feeds is widespread. The effects of high solute/cal...
