Optimization of Nutritional Parameters for Production of Alpha Amylase Using Aspergillus oryzae MTCC 3017 by Central Composite Design
Abstract: Amylases are the most widely used enzymes that are used many sectors such as clinical, medical, analytical and industrial applications. Beside their use in starch saccharification they also find applications in food, baking, brewing, detergent, textile and paper industries. Increasing utility and consumption of amylase in different industries has placed a greater stress on increasing indigenous enzyme production and search of more rapid processes. The aim of the present investigation …

Desizing of Cotton Fabrics With Enzymes for Improved Performance
Abstract: Desizing of cotton substrates with Amylase enzymes has been practiced since long time and is commercially successful. Amylases convert the water insoluble starches, used during sizing operation for enhancing the performance of the warp yarns, into water soluble products which are removed during subsequent washing. The use of enzymes for desizing is quite safe for the cotton substrates and do not cause any detrimental effect on the cotton cellulose unlike …

Production of Bioethanol From Muntingia calabura – An Under Exploited Fruit
Abstract: The generation of bio-fuels from underexplored fruits forms an attractive solution towards energy generation. The utility of less utilized fruits as a possible source of ethanol production in a process without aeration was investigated by using fruits of Muntingiacalabura. The fruit juice was subjected to fermentation by Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The amount of ethanol produced after fermentation was analyzed by gas chromatography and the ethanol production is almost equal to any …

Biofilm Formation
Abstract: A biofilm represents a group of microorganisms that are living appended to a surface by discharging a sticky, sugary substance that envelops the microscopic organisms in a lattice. The biofilm could be made out of a single species of microorganism or an aggregate of different species. As a rule, biofilms are just microorganisms, yet they can likewise incorporate other living things, for example, fungi and algae, which can be consolidated …

Biofuels: A Short Review
Abstract: A biofuel is a hydrocarbon that is made BY or FROM a living being that we people can use to power something. Any hydrocarbon fuel that is delivered from natural matter (living or once living material) in a brief timeframe (days, weeks, or even months) is viewed as a biofuel. This diverges from fossil fills, which take a great many years to form and with different sorts of fuel which …
