Over the past few decades, increasing research and development efforts toward value addition and efficient utilization of nutritionally rich agro-industrial residues have been gaining attention around the world. Several industrial residues, such as whey, sugar beet pulp, cassava bagasse, apple pomace, citrus waste, coffee pulp/husk, etc., have been studied as model system. They are either used as microbial substrates in fermentation or are subjected to the extraction of bioactive molecules1-4.…
2010). To do this, the pellet was re-suspended in a solution containing Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), tris buffer, lysozyme, and sucrose. Inner membranes of Gram-negative bacteria can be uncovered by using a mixture of lysozyme and EDTA, which causes the outer membrane to break down (Thein et al., 2010), liberating the periplasmic contents. The sucrose was used to maintain an isotonic solution to prevent lysis of the sphaeroplasts, which are simply cytoplasmic membrane bound cells. The…
Hidden Sugars Are Where You Don't Think They'd Be There’s so much about added sugar that warrants your attention. Aside from how they make certain dishes sweetly irresistible, much has also been discussed about how they can get addictive and potentially lead to serious health problems (will insert link to dangers of sugar here). Dealing with these added sugars from obvious sources like candies, junk food, pastries, and the like is relatively easy - reduce your intake or just completely write…
positive bacteria (5). The media is also differential since the fermentation of lactose is detectable on MacConkey agar by pH indicators. Eosin Methylene Blue agar (EMB) contains chemicals that inhibit Gram positive growth and can identify lactose and sucrose fermentation through the previously described pH detection (3,5). Sometimes, media is developed to identify specific organisms. An example of this is Chromogenic…
finished product was found to be clean microbiologically when examined directly after manufacturing. The product was packaged in 100 ml dark amber colored glass containers with white screw caps. Other ingredients included Xanthan gum, Disodium Edetate, Sucrose, Sorbitol solution, Poloxamer, Sodium Phosphate Monobasic, Sodium Phosphate Dibasic and Raspberry Flavor. The product showed no growth in Tryptone Soya Agar (TSA) when tested for the total viable aerobic count (TVAC) according to the…
CHAPTER 1 RESEARCH BACKGROUND 1.1 INTRODUCTION Newton Third Law is using ase reference for operation of rocket motor Based of the law, every action has feedback reaction that has same in magnitude but different in direction. The exhaust is formed entirely from propellants carried within the rocket before it isuse in every rockets and rocket engines work by action and reaction.This rocket engines push rockets forwards simply by throwing their exhaust backwards extremely fast.Application of…
Why Quit Sugar? In this chapter, there are a couple of questions that we would like to address as fol- lows: Is Sugar Really Bad for the Health? What is sugar detox? These questions will help up realize how far we have been torturing our bodies and that it is time for changes to take place through sugar detox and other healthy diets. Is Sugar Really Bad for your Health? Recent headlines read “Sugar Can Kill You!” It has been up on many news maga- zines, blogs and online news since the…
Cannulae implantation: For stereotaxic implantation of Cannulae, mice were anesthetized with 1.0-1.5% isoflurane and secured in a Kopf stereotaxic apparatus. Bilateral stainless steel guide Cannulae (26G, Plastics One) were targeted for placement 1.0 mm above the center of the Anterior Cingulate Cortex (ACC) (AP: +1.5 mm relative to bregma; ML: ±0.4 mm; DV: −0.5 mm from the surface of the skull) or 1.0 mm above the center of the prelimbic subdivision (PL) (AP: +1.7 mm relative to bregma; ML:…
2.1. Na-ion Batteries (NIBs) Na-based batteries are not new. Back to the 1970s, Na-ion and Li-ion batteries were investigated in parallel.5,6 The investigation of Na-ion batteries significantly decreased after the success of commercial application of Li-ion batteries in the 1990s. Na-ion batteries have a very similar working principle as the Li-ion batteries. As shown in Figure 2.1, each electrochemical cell is basically composed of a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a membrane…
Medicinal Plants and their Importance According to Ketchen (2017), edicinal plants can give a life changing options for people who cannot afford expensive medications and surgeries for their ailment. Most herbal medicine focus on prevention of a certain ailment and it involves of using plants and extracts of it to give an effective and safe treatments for illnesses. People doesn’t use herbal medicines because it is cheap, some people use it because it helped to prevent in some particular…
