Bioconversion of lignocelluloses from paddy straw to Vanillic Acid using Aspergillus niger
(Universiti Malaysia PerlisSchool of Bioprocess Engineering, 2010-05)Lignocellulosic materials are important natural renewable resources. This is because it is low in cost, renewable and it requires low processing energies. Agricultural residues, such as paddy straw are sources for ... -
Chemical modified coconut husk for potassium removal from aqueous solution : optimization by response surface methodology (RSM)
(Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP)School of Bioprocess Engineering, 2016-06)The ecosystem rating today shows the higher rated regarding the pollution on the heavy metal. The most popular adsorbent for the heavy metal is activated carbon. However, the high market demand on the activated carbon ... -
Development of protein extraction from agricultural waste as potential growth stimulator
(Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP)School of Bioprocess Engineering, 2013-06)Soybean waste obtained during processing of soy products was found to be rich in protein and adequate in supporting the growth of microorganisms such as fungus Rhizopus oligosporus. The objective of this study was to ... -
Hydrogen production from agriculture waste by dark fermentation
(Universiti Malaysia PerlisSchool of Bioprocess Engineering, 2011-05)Abundant biomass from various industries could be a source for biohydrogen production where combination of waste treatment and energy production would be an advantage. Potential biomass that could be the substrates for ... -
