Lipids are tryacelglycerol which are composed of three fatty acids that are bonded with alcohol or glycerol molecule by ester bond. Lipid is one the major components of the food. The significant desirable qualities that can be obtained from lipids are the structure, texture, mouthfeel, flavor and color. Lipids can additionally give the main polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) such as linoliec and linolenic fatty acids and the fat soluble vitamins such as vitamin A, D, E and K. On the other hand,
in a two step isolation process - phenol-chloroform. The phenol-chloroform lyses the cells, and precipitates membrane protein, lipid and chromosomal DNA through the PLG tubes. What is/are the main reasons(s) for PLG to be used in this procedure? PLG helps purify and make the yield of nucleic acids increased by up to 50% compared to other conventional organic extractions. PLG contains an intermediate density gel, which enables to eliminate interphase contamination of lysate based on their density
Feed efficiency-ratio, digestibility and growth performance of rats fed on MSKO were not significantly different from the control group. Toxicological studies evidenced no difference in reproductive performance, serum, liver, total cholesterol, total lipids, triglycerides and organ weight from the control. Histopathological evaluation of organs did not reveal any abnormality. These results suggested that MSKO no toxic effects (Rukmini & Vijayaraghavan 1984). Analysis of cholesterol content in MSKO showed
3.0 MATERIALS AND METHODS 3.1 SAMPLE COLLECTION Four different types of fruits selected in this study are Citrus sinensis, Psidium guajava L, Malus domestica and Ananas comosus. All fruits will be purchased at supermarket and bring to MSU laboratory for perform the solid-state fermentation method. 3.2 PROCEDURE FOR SAMPLE PREPARATION AND WASHING Four types of fruit will be transported to laboratory in plastic bags. According to the previous study, the fruit sample will be cut into smaller size
mankind is an abundant and reliable food supply. In the modern world, one major source of vegetable oil is from oil seeds, particularly the soybean- an abundant resource which is mainly processed using pressing (in India) and solvent extraction (in USA). Solvent extraction is one of the most efficient and reliable means to extract out soybean oil from soybean seeds. The second most prevalent solvent extracted oil seed is rapeseed and/or the varieties called Canola. Sunflower is also extracted in large
CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION Biofuel is the name given to fuel for Diesel engines created by the chemical conversion of animal fats or vegetable oils. Pure vegetable oil works well as a fuel for Diesel engines itself, as Rudolf Diesel demonstrated in his engine at the 1900 world’s fair with peanut oil as the fuel. The United State Fuelling stations make biodiesel readily available to consumers across Europe and increasingly in the USA and Canada. This is an indication that biodiesel can operates in compression
ABSTRACT Curcumin is polyphenol product collected from the ground rhizomes of Curcuma Longa,which are commonly known as Turmeric.curcumin has been procured by solevent extraction of turmeric and the purification of the extract by crystallization method.In traditional turmeric is used as colouring agent.in foods and textiles.Colouring principles are present intensity of 3-5 percent in turmeric and less amount of oils and resins ,proteins ,sugars may be naturally present in turmeric.Curcumin is an
extracts of purified bioactive components. Since nutraceuticals have broad application areas in various fields, it creates unlimited scope for exploring them in research. The undisputed efficacy of phytochemicals has drawn attention towards their extraction and separation from their natural origin to derive drugs. Table 1.1 gives a representative list of natural products and their therapeutic
Activated sludge is a particular process in which sewage and industrial wastewater are treated using oxygen and a biological floc composed of bacteria and protozoa. It is a very complex microbial system . The activated sludge process involves oxygen being inserted into a particular mixture of screened primary treated sewage or industrial wastewater that has combined organisms in which develop a biological floc which reduces the organic content of the sewage. Nowadays there is great interest being
traditionally used in Indian folklore medicine for the treatment of various microbial infections. Objective To investigate antifungal activity and explore the phytochemistry of methanolic and ethyl acetate leaf extracts of M. oleifera. Methods Disc diffusion and broth dilution methods were used for antifungal activity and standard qualitative chemical tests for the identification of phytoconstituents. Results Both the plant extracts showed antifungal activity against Rizopus stolonifer and Microsporum gypsum
