Food industrial sector plays a very important role in raising the economic status of a country, since it is necessary to enhance the productivity and maintenance of food industry. To maintain the quality operation of food industry, it is necessary to reduce the spoilage of food during processing, packing, or storage of food materials. Different pre...

In the proposed method, crude enzymes extracted from waste dry leaves of 15 different plants showing protease activity were used for removal of silver from exposed medical X-ray film by hydrolysis of gelatin. Optimum operating pH and temperature for crude protease extract was found to be 7 and 50 °C, respectively. The X-ray film before and after pr...

Receptor like kinases (RLKs) are preserved upstream signaling molecules which regulate several biological processes from plant development to various stress adaptation programs. Non arginine aspartate (non-RD) a prominent class of RLKs plays a significant role in disease resistance and apoptosis in plants. In present investigation, a comprehensive...

Background: To achieve a high yield of terpenoid-based therapeutics, 1-deoxy-d-xylulose-5-phosphate (DXP) pathway has been significantly exploited for the production of downstream enzymes. The DXP synthase (DXS) enzyme, the initiator of this pathway, is pivotal for the convergence of carbon flux, and is computationally studied well for the industri...

Background Waste biomass derived reusable heterogeneous acid based catalysts are more suitable to overcome the problems associated with homogeneous catalysts. The use of agricultural biomass as catalyst for transesterification process is more economical and it reduces the overall production cost of biodiesel. The identification of an appropriate su...

The use of microalgae biomass as a suitable alternative feedstock for biofuel production has been promoted in the field of green Biotechnology. In this present study, the microalgae was isolated from freshwater samples. The predominant strain was screened from the samples and grown in four different growth media including modified BBM medium, modif...

In the present investigation, the transesterification of waste cooking oil (WCO) to biodiesel over homogenous catalyst KOH have been carried out. To optimize the transesterification process variables both response surface method (RSM) and artificial neural network (ANN) mathematical models were applied to study the impact of process variables tempe...

ATP-binding cassette transporters (ABC-transporter) are members of a protein super family that is one of the largest and most ancient families with representatives in all extant phyla from prokaryotes to humans. ABC transporters are transmembrane proteins that utilize the energy of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) hydrolysis to carry out certain biolog...
