Related Studies Local: In cartoon shows, banana peels are commonly present when characters in the show are about to slip, and some scientists wondered if this is true. A scientific research was conducted about this matter and states that it is possible to slip when stepping on a banana peel-since the banana peel decreases the friction of the shoe sole by one-fifth of it. (J. Ballini, 2014) According to Liesl Clark, banana peels can also be natural alternative sources of shoe polish, teeth whitener
their versatile properties, the disadvantages supersede the advantages and even though organic food production/cultivating isn't without its downsides, it is proven to be less detrimental to human health and the environment in the long term. In this paper, I will compare and contrast the drawbacks and benefits of using both purely organic and genetically modified foods, drawing from studies concluded both against and in favor of both, concluding to the above mentioned. Organic food, cited in Lewin (2013)
The demand for starches arises largely from the paper, textile, construction and pharmaceutical industries. Food sector is one of the potential sector which is largely untapped due to legal restriction regarding the use of modified starches which results in low rate growing in food sector. The demand
Introduction To meet the increasing demand of robust, high turnover, easily and economically available biocatalyst, research is always channelized to get novelty in enzyme or improvement of existing enzymes by engineering at gene and protein level [1]. Enzymes derived from microbial source are generally regarded as safe and they are functional at wide range of temperature, pH, salinity or other extreme conditions. Actinomycetes are one of the most diverse groups of microorganisms that are well characterized
The phenomenon of globalization, which occurred after changes and developments within the historical process, has changed the relationship between the nation and the globalized world towards very different extents. Along with this new emerging processes, language phenomenon which possesses universal values, has become an important need for the communication of people.

The researches performed this study to test the effect of dark chocolate on graft atherosclerosis. Within this study, dark chocolate was tested to see if the flavonoids can benefit health in heart transplant patients. To do so, Flammer et al. conducted a study in which 22 heart transplant recipients (18 men 4 women) were placed into a double-blind study in which they were given either dark chocolate or a control chocolate. The chocolate in this study was made by Nestle located in Lausanne, Switzerland
2 The major bioactive components presents in Panax ginseng is ginsenosides, which contribute many beneficial effects to human health. Not only that, Panax ginseng also contains polysaccharides, peptides, amino acids, flavonoids, essential oil, B vitamins and minerals such as aluminium, calcium, iron and copper.3 Ginsenosides or panaxosides are actually produced by the ginseng plant for the purpose of defense mechanism. Ginsenosides found naturally in the ginseng plant have antimicrobial and antifungal
of energy located beyond the visible ending of the visible spectrum. The scientist came out with results that shows that a photographic paper would actually turn to be black when it’s under blue light rather than red light, and after the access of blue and red light he putted the photographic paper under violet paper and the results he had showed that the paper turned
chlorophyll derivatives, amino acids, and amines), or carotenoids as well as ascorbic acid (Larson, 1988; Hudson,1990; Hall and Cuppett, 1997). The antioxidant property of the plant material is due to the presence of many active phytochemicals including vitamins, flavonoids, terpenoids, carotenoids, cumarins, curcumins, lignin, saponin, plant sterol and etc.
