DECOLORIZATION OF SYNTHETIC DYE USING PARTIALLY PURIFIED PEROXIDASE FROM GREEN CABBAGE (BRASSICA OLERACEA)

ABSTRACT Peroxidase  was  extracted  from  cabbage  and  was  purified  in  three  different purification processes. It was first purified by ammonium sulphate precipitation and highest peroxidase activity was observed at 80% saturation.  Hence, 80% saturation was used to mass produce the enzyme. The enzyme was  again purified by dialysis which tends ...

IMPACT OF FRESH AND FERMENTED PALM OIL MILL EFFLUENTS ON SOIL PHYSICOCHEMICAL PARAMETERS AND ENZYME ACTIVITIES IN UMUAKA NJABA IMO STATE OF NIGERIA

ABSTRACT The impact of palm oil mill effluents (POME) on soil fertility was determined by studying the physico-chemical and heavy metals parameters found in fresh and fermented POME from six palm oil milling sites. Some soil enzymes (like catalase, dehydrogenase and lipase) and physico-chemical parameters of POME polluted soil wereevaluated ...

COMPARATIVE PROPERTIES OF THE METHYL AND ETHYL ESTERS PRODUCED FROM AVOCADO (PERSEA AMERICANA) PULP OIL

ABSTRACT Biodiesel  was  produced  from  Avocado  (Persea  Americana)  pulp  oil  by  trans esterification  with  methanol  and  ethanol  (6:1  methanol/ethanol-to-oil  ratio)  using 0.09% sodium hydroxide as catalyst in 60 minutes reaction time. The percentage yield of the methyl ester was 78% while that of the ethyl ester yield was 66%. Avocado ...

PRODUCTION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF BIODIESEL FROM LUFFA CYLINDRICA SEED OIL

ABSTRACT Biodiesel  was  produced  from  the  seed  oil  of  Luffa  cylindrica.  The  oil  obtained  was transesterified to produce methyl-esters and glycerol. The percentage oil yield of 36.32% was obtained from Luffa cylindrica seed. Biodiesel properties of methyl-esters were determined using American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Standards and compared ...
