Physical testing on formulated earthworm-based pellets for growth performance evaluation in African Catfish (Clarias gariepinus)
(Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP)School of Bioprocess Engineering, 2013)New formulation of fish pellets was designed by using earthworm powder and other economical ingredients such as soybean waste, rice bran and tapioca starch as an alternative protein source for substitution of fishmeal due ... -
Optimization of sodium hydroxide pretreatment and enzymatic saccharification of spent rubberwood sawdust for glucose production
(Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP)School of Bioprocess Engineering, 2014)Large quantities of oyster mushroom spent medium (MSM) were disposed of as agricultural waste to the environment and thereby constituting environmental pollution. Economic reuse of the waste mushroom medium to produce ... -
Mathematical modelling of mass transport in linear, shunt and concentric microdialysis probes
(Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP)School of Bioprocess Engineering, 2014)Microdialysis is a technique for both recovering and administering substances at a target site (which may be tissues, organs, etc.), using a small equipment termed as probe. There are many types of microdialysis probes ... -
Biosensor for measuring the anti-diabetic potential of medicinal plants
(Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP)School of Bioprocess Engineering, 2014)Three alternative electro-enzyme techniques were developed for measuring antidiabetic potential of medicinal plants. All three techniques are based on the inhibition of α- glucosidase (AG) enzyme in the conversion of ... -
Efficacy of plant extracts to control fungal post-harvest ROT
(Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP)School of Bioprocess Engineering, 2014)Fungicides are widely used in conventional agriculture to control plant diseases. Prolonged usage often poses health problems as the modern society is becoming more healthconscious because of their harmful residual effects. ... -
